What age range would you date?

[OpenClose]

I've turned 31 recently, but there are a lot of girls I like who are in their early 20's. I'm not sure if I'm considered "too old" yet, but it is something that has been giving me a bit of anxiety since I turned 30.

I'll certainly date older women if I find them attractive. Like age itself isn't something I'm all that concerned about. I've crushed on girls recently from 20 to 40.

I never really put much thought into it except when I was with pretty girls way younger who were so flirty. Like they're feeding me and saying I'm so great while I told them my old guy stories

Initially, I liked them feeding me and agreeing with everything I said but I feel like an old man with a young woman. Lots of people talk about "easy" girls like some woman around your age willing to sleep with you and anyone else who buys her a drink. I found my "easy" in off-putting ways with girls who rest their chins on their hands telling me I'm brilliant left and right.

But either way, they're "easy", way too "easy". They're "fans". I never wanted fan. Fans turn into nightmares anyway if you get too close. I wanted an equal; someone who can criticize me. That had a practical effect of limiting my age range to women pretty close to my age.

My ideal age range for women is 23 to 30, but I'd date as young as 21 and as old as my age, 35. But older women are far less appealing to me than a woman in her mid to late 20s. That's the ideal range for me. Especially since mentally I'm in my mid 20s still, anyway. I don't feel or act my age.

Before I met my husband my age range was a max of 7 or 8 years older and 1 or 2 years younger. However, for a lot of reasons my husband changed that. He's 15 years younger and he's the best relationship I've ever had as well as the love of my life. I almost completely passed up on him because I wouldn't even consider the possibility of a romantic relationship with him because of his age. However, I'm extremely glad I did. If I hadn't we wouldn't be married and the twin boys we've had together would never have been born!

I'm 30 and will be 31 in few short months, I'm willing to date much older men and guys my age, but much older men ask for kids and guys my age cry cause they feel I'm not affectionate, but I prefer older men but I don't know why they ask for kids..

I dated and married my wife when I was 19 and she was 57. That was twelve years ago, and we are still married.

If my parents would be okay with my dating a 18yr old (I’m 16), I think you’re good haha

You're all adults so I don't think that it matters. If you like someone then ask them out

[LaffyTaffy777]

Very good question… I’ve never really thought about it before but myself I’m 21 trying to figure out about a 40 yr who likes me.

so far I’m thinking that it’s “go with whatever works for you”

+/- a year or two usually. Limit for a serious relationship would probably be like 22-30 right now

[Dinklex3]

About 27-33.
I prefer men around my age.
