+1 yYes! Absolutely positively yes I would definitely date A woman who is older than I, in fact I’ve done so several times and it is worked out well. Therefore more mature, their expectations are far more realistic, they are secure, don’t feel the need for as much attention in person or on social media, and have a far better idea of sexuality than their younger counterparts. That’s just Charity in biology at work. The biggest difference in age was when I was 29 and the young lady was 40, right around her sexual peak. And don’t even get me started about why there is such a gap between men and women. So there’s a good reason for men to look to older women. For dating. Long term is a different story. But then again that wasn’t the question!

+1 yThe older you get, the more you realize age really doesn't matter too much. Maturity is not based on age either. If it feels right, go with it. I myself would date a woman that's 40 years old as a 27 year old guy. All that matters to me is that there's chemistry and physical attraction.
I'm not saying that there should not be age ranges in dating. Like a 40 year old guy is definitely too old for an 18 year old girl and vice versa. They're at different phases of life entirely. The half your age plus seven rule is a good indicator of the minimum an older person should date. If you're 50 years old, divide that by 2 then add 7 to get 32. So by the rule of half your age plus 7, the youngest a 50 year old could date is 32.20 Reply
1.8K opinions shared on Dating topic. I've never dated a man younger than me. I prefer men who are older than me. However if the right guy comes along I won't reject him because of his age. So as long as he's an adult I could date him.
But I also have an exception. For instance, I'm 29 and I wouldn't date a 18 year old. I could date a 24 year old for example.50 Reply
927 opinions shared on Dating topic. I end up with younger guys. I have been with guys/boyfriend's 10 years younger than me. Probably because I look at least 15-20 years younger than I am without even trying. The guy I am with now is 4 years younger than me and has gray hair. When people see us together they remark to him that he robbed the cradle. 🤗

+1 yYounger guys then me NO! I don't have time to be babysitting. Studies had showed the brain isn't fully developed until age 25. My ex-husband is (29) I am (28) still he acted like a child I can't imagine myself dating a guy younger then myself No thank you I am good single for now.
20 Reply976 opinions shared on Dating topic. Both of my longest-lasting relationships were older than me, one by 7 years and the other by 2. I couldn't see myself dating outside of 5 years difference anymore, and even the aforementioned "7" was an exceptional case. Ideally, I'd keep it to a 3yr difference or less.

+1 yI have and it was so hot and incredible. I was 21 at the time and I ran into an old girlfriends mother one day, we talked for a bit then she asked me if I wanted to have dinner with her that night so I said yes as Linda was an attractive lady and for 41 she looked more like early 30's. She picked me up that evening wearing a blue silk blouse, black leather mini skirt, Black thigh high stockings with matching garter belt ( I found out later after dinner) Blue satin panties, and black patent 5" pumps. Dinner was nice but when we got back to her place it was amazing and earth shaking to say the least. She did things to me I had never experienced before and I gave her something she had been missing and needing in ways she had never had in her life. When we had sex I fucked in every position possible and for hours until I was spent and shooting blanks and in complete orasmic euphoria that my abs hurt from hours of thrusting!! All I can say is while it lasted it was incredible.

+1 yI almost exclusively date women older than me and it's kind of my thing. Women under 29 don't tend to interest me since they have fucking horrible taste in men and I've seen it firsthand and also tend to be superficial and concerned with such things as dick size, etc.
Oldest I've dated was 37 when I was 22.
I also unwittingly entered into an emotional affair with a 46-year-old woman when I was 21.
My current crush is 41.11 Reply- +1 y
Lol, what little boy disliked this?
+1 yI'm in my mid 30's... I have no problem with a dating a woman as much as 10~15 years my elder. I'm no grave robber / granny chaser but it's a well proven fact that women often experience the best relationships and love lives after menopause. Also, I prefer those I date to have intellect and wisdom, both are qualities so very hard to find in my own peer-group.
10 ReplyI have always been attracted to older women and it seems they have been attracted to me as well. The problem I have had is they never wanted to date, they just wanted to hang out or hook up. Most women that I have dated actually end up being 5-6 years younger than me. I would love to date an older woman. As far as hanging out/hooking up, I have been with a woman who was 30 years older than me.

+1 yNow that I'm past 23, I'll only date women in their 40s if the woman is going to be older. Women who are in that 27-35 range tend to want babies and whatnot. And they get weird AF emotion-wise. I'm not here for that yet. I'm in it for the fun. And women in their 40s tend to know what they want; more than younger women at least.

+1 yI'm currently friends with benefits with a woman almost 10 years my senior. When I was 18 I hooked up with a 38 year old woman. I actually love fucking cougars but that's just a kink of mine :) In terms of seriously dating though I prefer younger women
10 Reply565 opinions shared on Dating topic. Yes but the chances are slimmer. In the end I don't care that much about age if someone is just not a minor, however realistically speaking, the youngest I would date is maybe 21 I think. Younger guys look too young for me so I don't think they're attractive and they're often too childish. The youngest I actually dated was 3 years younger. I was 22 and he was 19.
20 Reply3.2K opinions shared on Dating topic. Age doesn’t really bother me , if I find her beautiful and we have a great connection and chemistry that’s all that matters I dated older and younger , the chemistry and connection and attraction is all that matters
10 ReplyYes, I would! Like, up to 4-5 years, older than that would prob be too much of an age cap, so we wouldn't have similar interest and stuff :D
In fact, I was crushing on a girl a year older than me not so long ago10 Reply
+1 yyes and two different answers. for sex: probably 50 if fit 😂 🤷🏾♂️. for real dating with a future: probably 37 lol but who knows i might be pleasantly surprised by a woman who is a lot older 🤷🏾♂️😂

20 Replywell im not into dating older girls but if she's 6month older or like 1 year its fine but nothing too far like 2 to 5 years its a big gap like she knows more about the world than me and it feels like she's my MOM or Sister

Would you friendzone an older woman who showed interest?

+1 yI don’t care about age so it doesn’t matter if she’s older or younger. Just as long as she’s not old enough to be my mom. But I haven’t had a good experience with older women. Most of them were just old sluts looking for validation from a young man.
They were just temporary fun. They’ll spend time and money on you, but. The moment another young man gives them attention they’ll fall to their knees for him in a heartbeat!10 ReplyAlmost every woman that I've dated (save for one) has been older than me. The maximum that I'd date is 6-7 years older than me.
No, it's not due to me having some sort of weird fetish, it's just that I like the maturity hat usually comes with the age. There's also the fact that all of my friends are and have always been older than me. Fourteen year old me hung around several 25+ guys and girls, so that allowed me to be to some girls that were older than myself.10 Reply- 2.8K opinions shared on Dating topic.

Just a little older... a couple of years.
I wouldn't have dated anyone considerably older than me... other then it being a fling... I could never have been long term.10 Reply Yes, of course. There's 13 years difference with the youngest guy I've dated
