Older guys but women my own age. I’ve made an exception for two guys my own age in the past, didn’t go very well.
i prefer older than me.. at least 10yrs... my husband is 19years older than me.
Oh wow
I prefer dating same age. Biggest age gap I've dated is a month, I've been in the same relationship with that guy for 3 years.
So beautiful to hear
I prefer the same age or just a few years' difference.
Saaaame
I dated somebody 5 years older than me and another girl who was 5 years younger. The rest were all one or two years different.
Thats totally understandable after a certain age. Thats why i said i’d do the same 35+
when you are in yuor 20s a difference of 5 years is a big deal. You are both at different points in your respective lives. The girl I dated that was 5 yers younger was a senior in high school and the one that was older was married and divorced.
Yep which is why i said i’ll be more comfortable with 5-10 year gaps when in my mid 30s and up. By then im not tryna have kids and won't think much about his age
3 years is fair, Just depends on connection and reliability for me. Not as much a number but typically the mind of people around my age interests me more anyway
3 years is the max/min. Same age still preferred. And I don't know I've met people with my mindset who were 18 and 65. But i just have a thing for those with similar qualities to myself and that includes age
Are you crazy? No date someoney age 29 .
@Alwayreckles93 I mean I would, sure
Yeah and I think that makes sense. Like in reality I think perfect matches really mean they're supposed to fit like a puzzle mentally and physically. Like even to say big tits need pretty big dick with high libido on a sexual level more often and similarly personalities need to fit as well. But I feel like you could find your perfect other by looking at your body and mind, soul like a puzzle peice. I rarely ever see couples I think found their perfect other though only one example my entire life really.
I'll date someone who is a year or two younger or someone who is a couple years older. Couldn't date someone who is 18. I prefer her to be as close to my age as possible.
Love hearing this. Too bad not everyone thinks alike
Agreed. 18 may be legal but to me it's basically 17. Still in high school or just graduated, probably still has her parents pay her phone bill, etc. I just don't see us having the same priorities and it wouldn't feel right, mentally
I need them at least 21+ So they can enter a casino with me 😂 I need them 23+ in hopes theyre done with college cause i dont want to date another person whos trying to balance school/work/family/relationship etc. I need under 30 cause i want us both in our 20s when we have kids. All this stuff is just so rare to find these days (in terms of also being mutually attracted to looks and personality)
All valid reasons
I prefer someone my age and I’m also somewhat okay with someone who’s just a bit younger than me but not too young.
Also I’ve always wondered why do many women prefer older guys and why many guys prefer younger women.
I personally prefer same age. But if i went for much older, i would be because i’d hope he's ready for marriage/kids/settling down. If i went for much younger, i’d imagine he's more fun/energetic/fertile
Older Always at the notion that they can teach me and show me things. And they’re fully confident within themselves so that I can find my way
Lmao you haven't met w lot of older men i see. Girl not all of them are confident and some are not experienced. Banging a bunch of people dont mean u know what you're doing. Stay safe lmao
Lol it was just a thought
i think age is only a problem when you make it a problem.
if you are both adults and are mature enough to handle it and are able to deal with what may come of it i think it is okay. that is how i have thought about it.
Wait till you are forty and single!! You will crave younger men! 🤣🤣
same for us guys and wanting younger women, quite often.
of course as we get older "younger" gets to being a bigger and bigger pool.
It's a lot harder for 40 year old women to get younger men then it is for 40 year old men to get younger women though.
on paper you are right vegas. i am a 40 plus year old guy that has a tough time with finding such as are most of tge 40 plus year olds i know looking for younger women.
@magiusX26 TBH if you have a little money and some actual assets Homes, cars etc it's pretty easy to get younger woman nowadays. My personal favorite age range is 28-32 but you could get younger if you want. Ironically all the things women want from men can't be found in most younger guys so they have started reaching more for older men.
I mentioned in the paragraph above that im okay with 0-3 years younger rn but that i wouldn't go like 5-10 years younger unless inwas 35+
That's cool but remember you're just one person and women are a numbers game. So in general guys can go younger than women assuming they have the correct financial status.
so 2k-ish playing around money, owning my own home, owning my own car, staying out of debt, working full time, not being a dick/asshole? yeah i got all that and still no takers. maybe its got more to do with the fact i dont flash all that around, I don't know.
ty desii. you picked up on what i was talking about, well most of it, think there mite be one more
@magiusX26 Well you should probably start being more of a dick. Reality women like bad boys. Also were do you live, that could be a big problem?
@magiusX26 lol message me that last bit
For most of my schooling I was interested in people within a year of mine. Now I don't care, but I won't date a person that is more than 10 years separate in either direction.
Yea thats a big gap if so
My ironclad rule is puberty. Don't date someone who was born when you were going through puberty or vice versa. So >12 years is too big of a gap in my opinion. 12 years is questionable.
Personally, I don’t really care about the age gap. I’ve been with women 18 to 65. Just depends on their personality, their looks, and how much they like sex.
You are something else
Who knows? Maybe one day we will have the opportunity to meet one another.
All the girls I've known have been a year younger than me. It just worked out that way. Now I'm not really comfortable with the thought of dating someone older. My limit would be 10 years. younger.
Thats understandable
I have no preference, as long as I can have children.
Yea but i hope you have thhem in your 30s. Its weird seeing a grandpa have a newborn
My grandfather was 63 when my uncle was born, my grandmother was 54. My uncle is younger than my sister.
To be fair, we are an exceptionally long lived family. My aunt is 98 and her hair isn't even grey. She looks like a young looking 60.
Yeah, I prefer it having it younger than 80.
I like younger women usually, except when I was younger and liked older women! LOL
Lmao
I don't have preference, just somewhere around mine is good
I hear ya
Older. I've tried dating younger once and I didn't like the experience.
Lol what was different
Very immature and insecure. With the type of life I have I can't have someone who behaves like a kid.
Younger, but not that much younger. I am 49 and my limit is probably around 35 unless it's just sex.
Thats a good age
You are sick!!!
Get a. woman ur same age
@Tornado92
Shouldn't you be in Home Economics class? The Seventh Grade isn't going to pass itself.
I've never really had a preference one way or the other. Most of the girls I dated or either of my age or a bit younger. But I have dated older.
What was your thoughts on older
Probably a bit hypocritical to be honest. But when I was younger dating older what's okay. But as I get older I prefer younger. I'm already old enough oh, I don't want to date someone even older.😬
Lol I've seen that a lot on GAG. It’ll likelybe the same for a lot of women. In high school, i preferred same age or older. In college i preferred same age or either younger/older. Once i hit mid 30s, i’ll likely go for 5-10 years younger than older but either seems fine as long as the guy can still move in the sack. The older guy will likely have the vasectomy
I feel I prefer younger women now that I am a little older but when I was in my 20s I prefer older women.
Ohhh its changed
Yeah weird huh.
I prefer women in the same age group and not much younger at least 19-20 and not much older at most 30. I have a thing for older women though lol. All girls I liked were somewhat older than me
Oh nice
Much older. Men don't grow up till they are into their 30s at least.
I heard but I've met some rare ones. I admit they still carry the indecisive trait though and that annoys me
So true yes I noticed my ex husband he is 30 but still has the mindset of an 18 year old.
Much older? NO FREAKIN WAY!!!
She has to be my age or younger.
Yea i prefer close in age as well
I don't think it really matters at least for me. As long as the person is illegal age and then I really am not that interested in whether or not they're very old or very young
I didn't have a preference to be honest. I never really gave it much thought. I wanted a girl who's alive and who can make me smile and can love me the way I love her.
To some people it matters a lot and to others it doesn't matter. Live your life the way you want and let other people live the way they want.
Which is what i stated above. No need to repeat
It just seems like you aren't really concerned about the answers you just want to make a point about how you feel.
Yea pretty much. You know me so well
Ha ha I wasn't making fun of you. You're entitled to the way you feel.
I have always been attracted to older women. Altough I have hooked up with a few older ladies, I always seem to be dating then marrying younger.
How many times have u married
Guess I wasn't clear. Only been married once. 6 years younger. The last three GFs before her were at least 6 years younger. I never set out looking for younger just worked out that way.
I usually lean towards older women as they are seem to be less likely to play games and know what they want.
What if theyre bossy
Then I would lean away.
I do not care that much about age. I've already dated people younger and older than me.
I don't mind a woman that is a little older than me as long as she can make babies I'm good lol
Haha
Yeah
I've always dated younger but have hooked up with older. Must more important than age is personality and maturity
Doesn’t really matter for me. A good soul is a good soul.
I guess
Well, I mean I’m not going to date an 80 year old woman. I’ll go to 60 and the lowest I’ll go is 25.
To me as long as there not 10 years young9an not 10 years older I'm fine
Once I hit 35, I won't notice that
Ok then if the person looks young for age no worries
In my opinion older women are very caring and easygoing so, I think it's better to date someone older than a girl of the same age.
Very nurturing rather than caring
After all, they are mature and that's what important
Lmao a lot of older people are immature. I don't know what you're referring to 😂
Donno much about this, maybe you are right
Women within my age group. No more than 7 years older than me.
Like whiles I'm willing to date women 7 years younger than me.
So whats your age group
26-40
A few years younger. I’m 29 and I prefer guys around 26-28
Thats a good range
I always tried to date some a little younger then me.
How much younger
I have dated 11 years younger
But usually just a few years
At my age I like younger girls... I'm very young at heart. I feel like I haven't been Born yet
But you have lmao
I love older guys. I always go for older guys. They're so hottt
How much older
currently 29 years older
at least that's how much older he is
Shoot I'm still single. At this point anyone is welcome
Haha
why put a number on it just date who u like and get on with
Who i like also needs to be the age i like
@DizzyDesii
do you ask someone their age before deciding if you like them?
what happens if you get to know someone like them then find out they are not the age you thought they were or look?
Then i stop liking thhem. Age matters for me
@DizzyDesii
well thats fing stupid if you ask me!
if you like someone why should age matter
It matters TO ME. End of story :)
I prefer within 10 years of me, closer in age the better
Yea closer in age is better
I prefer dating someone I get along with. Lots of common interests.
Same but i also need similar qualities and experiences. I also need similar age
Yes similar qualities and experience, but if it all adds up good, and as long as she is legal age, and up to mine, im good
Always older, they were on my wavelength and often at least a tad less liberal than the young ones
What if they don't care about politics at all
They might say that but their actions tell all, my brother claims to be apolitical and hasn't voted once in all 4 years he's been allowed (by comparison I've missed one in my 6 years)
He is the epitome of liberal as a whiny wannabe empathetic drag queen who lives entirely on government assistance
I am a hard nosed bastard with a head for business and am currently not receiving assistance that I am entitled to because I don't need it
I like dating a woman older tend to know what they want don’t beat around a bush.
Turning around before I make an unfortunate comment
Within 5 years of my age, and we get along healthily
It doesn't matter for me. Younger or older. As long as i can be happy with her.
Oh okay
The age of the people I prefer to date has largely remained the same as I have gotten older.
Thats even better
I've always liked older but not a significant difference
Younger because theyvare still learning about a Dom like me
I don't mind it if it's OK with both of us it's cool
My husband is almost 3 years younger than me lol
Thats perfect
Same age or a bit older like 2-4 years.
Yea thats a good age
I prefer someone a bit older than me
I understand
I prefer around my age to a few years younger.
Same
Few years younger? You need a reality check younger woman are useless.
@Alwayreckles93 1-2 years younger isn't much of a difference age wise.
Ever since I've known myself it's been older
I prefer dating older
How much older
20 years older and up
I wouldn't mind two years younger or older.
Same
Older but not much older
What is much older in your opinion?
Well I'm 20 so I'd say past 25 is too old for me
