Romance. I don’t see why I wouldn’t try for something more if I’m single. As a generally principle, guys do not forgo romance for a platonic friendship. I would see that as a waste my time.
Unless you prefer to both be in your 20s to have kids. Thats mainly my issue. Once I've had my kids then i probably won't care as much. But i’d hope to be married to whoever i had kids with
I'm older so it wouldn't really bother me if the girl is younger. When you're young everyone is older than you and when you're older, everyone is younger than you. If you really care about someone, age doesn't seem to matter.
Well I disagree with you, you’re wrong. Firstly I don’t think 2 years would kill u literally. You can have standards or just prefer someone who can throw it deep.
I prefer same age or up to 3 years older/younger. I have no interest in large age gaps. In HS, i preferred same age or a year or older. In college, i preferred same age or a year or two older/younger. After college, i preferred same age or up to 3 years older/younger
I would see a 60 year old guy as being a more engaged father if I’m honest. My father went back and re married and his children are younger than mine, he is a far better father now. Plus he can retire and look after the kids while I’m at work 😊🤞
But a lot of olders guys can't get around as well in terms of playing sports with the kids. But you’d be lucky if you find one still in great shape who hasn't let the dad bod get the best of him
Id probably only find him attractive if he was attractive to me 🤷♀️. I wouldn’t actively seek to have children with an older man or a younger man, just if I’m attracted to a person its not based on there age. Id say capability plays into what I’d find attractive though, I don’t want a burden.
That makes sense. Like i didn't think about age til they brought it up and then i lose interest. Lol I don't know why i assume people are the same age range as myself when we get along haha
I often felt that way but then the idiot tells when you tell them not to. I could be happy just knowing their legal. But I've mistaken a lot of 35+ somethings for 20 something

Wow, you have a big range of age difference, _10&+30, may be it is your experience, but I prefer 5 years younger and 15 years older
Oh no i prefer 0-3 year age gap. 5+ is too old/young

I dated a woman 13 years older when I was 29. By that point in life I don't think age matters much.

Yes good point. At the time I thought I was fine not having them.
I'm older so it wouldn't really bother me if the girl is younger. When you're young everyone is older than you and when you're older, everyone is younger than you. If you really care about someone, age doesn't seem to matter.
I will not let the norms of societal judgement to keep me from finding the right person.
I dont consider it a norm but ig it is
I might be flirty but it's all in fun and I don't chase younger women.
What about older
Much older than me and they would be in the old folks home. A few years is ok but not much more.
Under 18 no thank you. I am sorry but am almost 25 and am big so I need someone who knows their shit.
I dont think anyone 19+ should be with someone under 18
Well I disagree with you, you’re wrong. Firstly I don’t think 2 years would kill u literally. You can have standards or just prefer someone who can throw it deep.
I think 2 years is fine when up in age but if the person is under 18 and in HS, its extremely weird for them to date someone whos in college or above
? And I see ur more tilted to 30’s or u go for anyone who is interesting
I prefer same age or up to 3 years older/younger. I have no interest in large age gaps. In HS, i preferred same age or a year or older. In college, i preferred same age or a year or two older/younger. After college, i preferred same age or up to 3 years older/younger
I keep things platonic as we mostly consider them as sisters/brothers. It’s just the way we were raised.
I would keep it platonic. The only way it would be series if they start throwing hints around.
I seee
I would possibly go on extreme with themI beat mo around the bushes lol
EVERY relationship with a woman I have begins platonically. Whether it stays that way is up to her.
I’m attracted to people not birthdays 🤷♀️
You wouldn't mind having kids with a hot 60 year old if you were 20?
Wouldn’t bug me at all
I would see a 60 year old guy as being a more engaged father if I’m honest. My father went back and re married and his children are younger than mine, he is a far better father now. Plus he can retire and look after the kids while I’m at work 😊🤞

Just don’t ask the number and enjoy the connection:)

I’m terrible at guessing ages, so I just don’t 🤷♀️. I really just can’t tell how old people are. My best mate was 20 when I met him 5 years ago.
It depends on the age gap. Any guy younger than 20... yes platonic for sure
Guys my age are idiot's
You’ll come across a good one eventually
I'd keep it platonic.
Same
Only if the gap is 10 years or less.
so basically mid 20s to mod 40s
mid*
I just crush the coochie in a one night sex romp
Strictly platonic.
I agree
Option C.
