I would say no more than 10 years at 31 years of age... Men older than that are physically on the decline.
Although my libido isn't what it once was its also not finished so I want someone still able to get the blood circulating to all areas!
While you are correct that men do decline in their 'physical abilities' as they age, it isn't like we're finished at 31. Yeah, we can't go all night long, but I didn't really notice any significant loss in ability until I was 50. Even then, it's not like I'm incapable. In fact, I might very much surprise you. Of course, as previously noted, it's academic.
Thank you for your reply
I think you only put a number on something like that if you care what other people think. I've always been told I look younger than I am so for me it's more of how a woman caries herself and if we are compatible physically.
Are you seriously 45? Because the guy on the profile looks between 25-30 at the most. I don't believe your 45. Let me guess your 28 ?
No I'm 45. Thanks the older I get the better it is. It really sucked though when I was in my early 20s. I was a medic in the millitary as well and some people wondered why this 15 year old was trying to start an IV on them. I was like no really I'm 21 and I have a lot of experience. I would say it's genetics but my younger brother looks 10 years older than me. I don't drink or smoke. I don't obsess about my diet I love the sun. I always moisturize though and drink a lot of water. Im active in sports and only realize how old I am when I'm competing with an actual 25 yo but I remember when I could run and jump like that too.
I'm surprised 45 I seriously though you were 28 or 29 no more passed then 30 . I mean you look way way more younger then 33.
Thank you. My oldest daughter is 23 and she hates when we are out and people think we are on a date. I also have to remind some of the guys on my baseball team that I'm not 25 anymore. Some of these tournaments can be multiple games and days and it takes a little longer to heal and recover as you get older. At least naturally and I'm not big on putting different things in my body. I've always been a no medication kind of guy unless my life depends on it. No cold medications no Tylenol for aches.
I'd say 18~50 is the maximum range for me.
In practice it's more like 23~28, because I usually won't approach anyone younger or older than that.
But I wouldn't reject the outliers if we happen to click for real.
Above 18, and up to age 30, I’d say 3 to 4yrs MAX. After 30, I’d say 5 to 7 years! After 40, hell you made it that long, date as older of a person as you want!
First off age is really just a number most of my exs except one were older by 10 plus years. I wouldn't go more than 5 years younger personally. I tend to gravitate towards older men. Always have clearly 😆😆
I would not date anyone young enough to be my kid, or old enough to be my mother.. Other than that.. age doesn't bother me
I'm 15 years older than my husband. I never would have guessed I'd ever have an age gap that big, so I suppose that's my limit. Haha
Wish you and your hubby the best.
Age is only a number you know I've have seen better results in couples with 15 year age gap. My ex he was born in 1992 I was born in 1993 now we are divorce.
@Alwayreckles93 My first marriage was to a man my age and it was horrible. My marriage now is super great. Obviously there are a lot of happy marriages with people of the same age, but it just goes to show you that's not always predictably the case!
In fact, based on my experience I've actually found the age gap to be positive for our relationship. The guys my age/older I was with often have a lot less energy than me, aren't as adventurous, are much more intimidated by my professional/financial success, are much less open minded, carry more baggage, and aren't as sexually compatible. By I think my husband's age gives him enough energy to keep up with me, much more up for adventure, much more supportive of my professional/financial success, much more open minded, much more optimistic, much more sexually compatible (and can go a lot more rounds/gets a lot harder and recovers much faster), and has a very sexy/muscular body. Also, when we got engaged I hadn't had any kids but really, really wanted some and I knew my biological clock was ticking. However, getting me pregnant (with twins) was actually pretty easy/only took a few months. In fact, I was very pregnant on our wedding day. I think him having much younger/more fertile sperm is part of what made me getting pregnant much easier.
@Alwayreckles93 Also, if you still want love don't give up on it. I know it can be super discouraging, but it can work out! It took me until I was 39 to meet my soulmate and I didn't get married to him until I was 40
Thank you I am so happy to see for people to find their soulmate , The dating scene it's hard it's not like when I used to be 18 the cute teddy bears or the chocolate everything is just so crazy now a days. I always ask myself if their is any guy out there that he is meant for me where does he live? who is he? I was thinking about these questions on my way to work.
She'd have to be at least 18. No older than early 50's but that might even be too late. As long as she's legal and her baby factory still works. If I already had kids, that wouldn't be much of an issue, anymore.
I haven't completely decided, and I don't have a hard rule. All I can tell you is how I feel, and I don't think I would feel comfortable dating someone under 23.
The legal age 18-25 or 26. Won’t date a guy that’s too much older and of course won’t date a minor. I’m into younger guys tho so I go more for them, whether it’s casual or serious.
In the last five years, Twenty years younger than myself has seemed to work fine so far. Dated one person my own age and so far no one older.
If I were single and casually dating I would go down to 18, so 22 years. Not sure bout an upper limit, I'm sure there are some hot 60 year olds. For a relationship I think down to 30 and up to 45.
I’m 20 and the oldest I’ll go for dating it 25-26. I can’t imagine myself in a relationship with someone older. I feel like I want to be with someone who has the same “mental age” as me, if that makes sense.
A year or two older or ten years younger: essentially, the same level of life experience. My SO is 8 years younger, and it works fine.
12 years, but I would be open to a larger age gap with the right person, not sure about younger either but that could change as I get older.
My only real set limits on someone I would consider is they have to be old enough to buy me a drink. My present woman in my world is 17 years younger than me.
Every timeI see this question, I think of Anna Nicole Smith.
I remember her she die and left behind a little girl? She die right after her son.
@Alwayreckles93 Yes. She was married to a very old man.
I did felt sad for her. I watched her movie her life was sad growing up.
I've experienced 30-year age difference and it was amazing
I don't personally sweet a limit if we're mutually interested in each other, as long as they are of legal age. I've dated from 12 years younger to 20 years older
10 years older if she’s in good shape and 30 years younger
