Would you date someone your age?

Question

websterII · Accepted Answer

to me the ideal is 1 year differecne for every decade.. so right off the bat a 20 year old woudl be ok with a 18-22 yo.. and a 40 year old would be ok with a 36-44 yo.. anyting beyond that starts getting penalty points.. for the following reasons. 1. life is a journey of learning.. of making mistakes.. and young people are in a different phase than older people.. and having made my 20 year or 30 year old mistakes i dont want ot have to live through my partner makign those same mistakes.. also we go through phases on how we like to spend our free time.. when i was younger i did things i do not do now.. so i think we should be insync there too.. i know we're all different we're all individuals. yes.. a 20 yo could be with a 40 yo.. but.. that i feel is an exception.. I think we're prob better off with someone our own age. i think we have a genetic disposition to be with younger female and older male.. for reasons that are timeless and go back thousands of years.. but in modern times.. if you can overcome the genetic predispositions.. a man should be a few years younger cus women live longer.. goal being to die together in eachothers arms.. not leave one alone cus you left too soon. closer in age people are.. the closer their lives prob mesh.. same things they ave gone through.. same world around them...

This would be my preference. I am now 27. A 27 year old woman has hopefully matured past the typical young female bullshit, hopefully is not a feminist, has learned her moral values, hopefully has learned patience and is still probably very good looking and in her prime. Also, my mother had me at a young age so going older risks me dating someone too close to my mom's age. Dating too much younger than my age would put me at risk of putting up with immature female mind games that I have no time or desire to play. Unfortunately, many of the women my age that I respect are already in relationships.

Absolutely! I'd actually prefer to date a guy my age if possible.

... yes I know I'm asking too much again. I can dream dang it! 😆

If they're too young, they might be lacking maturity or stability to handle a serious relationship. Too old and we may not have much in common.

I've tried both spectrums before: dating guys younger and older than I am.
Both failed miserably.

And before anyone says anything, yes I know that's not the case for everyone!!! I'm just referring to my experience and preferences on the matter.

aWes0MeNeSs · Accepted Answer

Yes, and I have. I wouldn't mind a little older or younger if I were to date again, but would prefer around the same general age range and no drastic age gaps.

Tiffany_Taylor_Made · Answer

Yes, I prefer to date guys around my own age. I prefer that because I want to grow old with my lover. I don't want to watch him get old before me or have him watch me get old. That can create problems in the relationship in the future. In fact, my fiancee is one year younger than me. I don't mind that at all.

LMNOP123 · Answer

Yes. My younger limit is 24, though it is pushing it a little. Oldest I'd date is 34. Very generally I prefer someone around my age. Right now my current interest is 37. He's an exception. He looks like my age and has the personality of someone my age. Not saying he's immature for his age. He gives off the energy of someone in their 20s. He doesn't act like a 40 year old, old fogey.

virtue2332 · Answer

For me it doesn't matter the age. It has always been awkward for me though because when I was in the Service and out of uniform at a function everyone assumed I was a dependent of someone in the millitary. A highschooler so I had highschool girls hitting me up the 4 years I was in. Im going to be 44 in August I've hooked up with girls my age but any serious relationship has been younger by a few years.

PeacefulRainDrop · Answer

I've dated my age, I've dated 4 years younger, I've dated 10 years older.. right now im with someone whose 6 years older... im done he's exactly what I've been searching for! Anyone could come my way im not interested

Clacode · Answer

I would date anyone. Not like I commit my life into a person after one date. You never know who you are going to meet. Maybe this person will become one of your bests friends or a good connection to something.

DaveDavidson · Answer

My girlfriend is almost exactly my own age to the month, so yes.
Personally most other girls I have dated were 5~ years younger, but it is honestly coincidental, I don't really care about age (As long as it's at least 18 obviously).

aicarg · Answer

I usually prefer a bit older. But now, why not, most my age whom I associate with have their paths aligned with beginning to achieve and work towards their goals - which is where I'm currently at.

nodnol32 · Answer

I prefer someone around my age but love doesn't come with age requirements. It just happens. I have mostly dated girls around my age. The youngest was 3 years younger. My current girlfriend is the same age as me.

Likely, but I'm open to anything. I chose someone my age because it's easier than arguing with family and introducing her to them.

I only stay within my age range + or - 3 years of my age. 4 doesn't currently feel right, but if I'm not married at 30, I'd consider it.
