I’m 23, what’s an appropriate age range for me to date?

[Anonymous]

At what age gap is TOO much? I think guys that are in their early 40s to be attractive but I think that’s too much since I have no experience with guys at all and I’m a virgin too

Younger than 23, older than 18

23-27

27-33

33+

[ohshee]

I'm not going to put an age on anything because each individual is different mentally physically romantically maturity I think whatever makes you happy if a guy makes you happy he makes your heart flutter and you feel good with him I said go for it because that's what I would do if it was a girl I could care less what anybody else thinks it's none of their business if you want to make it their business just come and talk to me about it I'll be as honest as I can be and I will say it's none of your fucking business LOL this is my life I'm going to be happy whether you like it or not so don't worry about what other people think or do or say because somewhere inside of them there's that little bit of a jealous Factor or they just like getting into other people's business and I think that's rude so I say smile and I say do whatever makes you happy life is way too short and like you said experience that's the key word you have to experience something before you can understand it
I always tell people you got the internet if you want to experience something real play it out a couple times you want to role play it out I'll roll play that with you that way you can kind of feel it and see what it feels like that way you know what to look for but I like your question and it's honest that's what I like

Statistically speaking your odds of success drops dramatically in anything larger than 9+ years. Age difference. I'm not saying you shouldn't date anyone older than 32 but I am telling you the odds are not in your favor after that.
Don't focus so much on the age focus on what you have in common. Not every reaches the same point at the same time in life. I turned a girl down when I was younger who was 4 years. Younger than me. And I regret it to this day. We were a good match but I thought she was too young.

[Subarugirl]

Stick with people that are with in 3 years of you current age, especially at this point. Men who date much younger do so because they are either not mature enough to find a woman close to their age, fetishize barely legal girls, or want someone young, naïve and easy to manipulate.

[DaisyM23]

I feel like anyone older than 20/21 would be comfortable for me personally (if i was 23 obviously) and then maybe like 35 max?

[TruthBringer]

Woops, I accidently clicked on A. I believe that someone who is older than you but not 'too old' is best. You want someone who is a bit ahead of you but at the same time isn't out of their youth as you are in yours. Well, unless you feel attracted to older men, which is fine if that's what you seek. But I'd say someone around 27 or slightly older.

[MCheetah]

"Half your age plus seven" is the rule for anyone 18 or older.

The youngest a 23 year old could "socially acceptedly" date is 19.

The youngest a 32 year old could "socially acceptedly" date is 23.

So your "accepted age range" is men between 19 to 32.

But honestly, date whoever you want as long as you're both adults and genuinely love each other.

[Malgaran]

Ill be honest, when I was 23 I dated someone in their 40s, didn't work out though but age wasn't the problem. I ironically found her too immature. At the same time I knew a girl who was 16 for example that I thought was much more mature than this ex in her 40s. Age honestly doesn't say much.

[HighValue]

Dating someone old enough to be your parent is okay (up to 25 year gap), but dating someone old enough to be your grandparent is not a good idea. Dating someone old enough to be your parent is only okay if neither of you have kids anywhere near that age.

[Fireguy17]

At your age you would find that you have much more in common with people 5 years on either side, 21 being the youngest if you want to go in a bar, across state lines.
If you get involved with someone 40ish, and the relationship grows, there is a pretty good chance he will not want to have anymore kids.
If this is just casual, then older like in their 40s are more secure, usually have a better income than someone who is 26.

[Lonewulf57]

I like the "half your age, plus seven" for younger.
The reverse equation is I think "one and a half times your age" for older.

so, for you, that would be 23÷2+7=18 and 23x1.5=34

[Blonde401]

I’m into older men - find them very attractive and have dated a few in my time. Avoid them like the plague! Date someone younger than 30

[Asker]

Why should I avoid them?

[Asker]

Just curious

[Blonde401]

There’s a reason they’re single at that age. There’s a reason they’re preying on younger women.

[globetrotter22]

You are a full grown independent woman. You don’t need to be worrying about other people’s judgement only your own.

[Crafteroon]

For younger it's half your age 7, so at 23 it's 19.

For older it would be your age - 7 and double it, so 32.

Personal taste affects this, but I feel this range would give the least amount of looks based on age difference.

[NopeWhatTime]

I'd say anywhere from 19/20 to 29 years old. I wouldn't recommend dating someone who's exactly 18 because they might still be in high school (19 and 20 year olds may also be, but it's far less likely)

[Avicenna]

That’s entirely up to you to decide- it’s no one’s business who consenting adults date. I’d say just date the guys you want to date.

[DizzyDesii]

I personally prefer bo more than a 3 year gap. But i think you could date anyone between 20-30

[AviatorTom]

It's not one of your choices. It's perfectly okay for you to date guys between 21 and 35.

[Anonymous]

Guys your own age or younger are gonna be immature with nothing going on in their life. I'm 23 a well and it usually date guys 30~40

[Tornado92]

A hottie right here with good taste in man ☺️

[TacosRAwesome]

21 to 33 would be a good range esp if American so you can both legally drink etc.

[noohair]

There is no age range, it is cultural convention. You can do what you want or bow to what the mob thinks. All the best young lady.

[UdontNeedtoknow]

after 20 years it gets really weird. I've seen age ranges pretty high up and there happy. it just depends on the dynamic of the relationship.

[OddBeMe]

Good relationships have things in common and that’s more likely to happen with people around your age.

[Twalli]

My rule is that you shouldn't date anyone who was going through puberty when you were born (or obviously finished puberty).

[Anonymous]

I don't believe in age ranges. Whoever is a good person and attracts you. There's no limit on love.

[Jamie05rhs]

Whatever you feel comfortable with. It's totally up to you.

[Waldoe]

date whoever you find attractive, don't worry about age...

[cookiecrusher]

Date whoever you like. Go date 40 if you find a decent guy.

[Anonymous]

Why do you think you haven't had a boyfriend yet? Just unexpected for something like this to happen to women since women don't have to pursue

[Anonymous]

It dpends on your intent. If you wanns be broke date someone your age. If you want to earn money "date" someone over 40 who has some money and thier head on straight.

[Anonymous]

Over 18 and a virgin. Virgins should date each other. As an adult you should date any age you like that is also an adult.

[Anonymous]

I usually flirt with 7-8 year old girls they are tight af.

[magiusX26]

that is for you to determine

[Dchrls78104]

Best answer yet

[Anonymous]

53 year old guys are perfect

[msc545]

21 to any age actually.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

B would be the best option.

[Tornado92]

Date me sexy babe 😘😍😍😍😍

[alice55]

I would say 20 to 30

[Anonymous]

[Dinosaursandanime65]
