What is your age limit for dating someone?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

Age in a way is just a number, but I wouldn't seriously consider dating an 18-year old because it's weird for me since I have 4 younger siblings who are older than 18. Also, there is basically no chance for her to grasp what I've gone through and learned in the extra years. The unneeded judgment from others is also no help, but I see absolutely nothing wrong with 25 and up. I could probably do a little younger if she's on the more mature side.

For older women, I just prefer her not to be too old because I want us to have relatability, I want children, and I want her to look/feel as beautiful as possible, not just for my eyes but for her security around a younger guy. I'm gonna say the same age difference is highly preferred, so 36, but I could probably do a little older if she is confident about herself and she shows how much she wants me.

Recap: I have strong preferences but I don't want to state hard limits because someone can be exceptional. My age or a little younger is best to me, but I'd be ecstatic if someone a little older is relatable, kind, and mature but still has some fun young energy. Having a really big age gap is not ideal, but rare exceptions can be made for someone who is extremely positively unique.

18 to 23, and that probably will never change, even as I age. Aside from being ugly on the outside, I always end up bored when having a conversation with women who are 24 or older. They have nothing interesting to talk about and every conversation with them feels like a job interview or a class lecture. Not only that, they don't care about how they look at all, and instead, go on to whine about how there are people who want to have fun and how there are women who want to be attractive instead of always being liberal activists. Therefore, they are ugly on the inside as well.

And I don't think I will ever be a multimillionaire, so women who are rich are off the table (I wouldn't have a problem dating rich women, they have a problem dating men who aren't rich). This ultimately leaves middle class men such as I with only women who are both ugly and boring to be with after they become 24 or older. So I will stick to women in the 18-23 age range (you know, a traditional undergrad college student).

Currently it's from my age to maximum 4 years (like I'm 13 now and he shouldn't be above 17. 15-16 is the best). When I'm adult then it will be maximum 6 years (let's say I'm 20 then he should be maximum 26. 23-24 is the best). I don't really feel attracted to younger guys. at least not now because they are basically kids lol. However I'm not planning to date so it doesn't matters.

SkyCastle90 · Accepted Answer

Same age if possible, few months older, or a year older.

Extreme age gaps aren't for me. Older men (5 years+) tend to try and be a father figure I could fuck, which annoys me to no end. While younger men (- 2 years or more) are fine if legal and emotionally mature, but I don't want to date younger.

zeitgeist057 · Answer

No limits, other than legal ones. "Age is just a number" as they say, and attraction and chemistry is what is important. That can happen across a very wide age gap.

I'm currently dating someone 15 years younger than me, and I feel no "we have nothing in common" vibe. We have a lot in common, and fit together really well in a lot of things.

Finchie40 · Answer

I don’t really hold age as a deciding factor as long as she is of legal age , What matters to me is the connection and the chemistry and attraction to each other , I have dated younger girls that were more maturer than girls my age or older and vice versa , so age doesn’t really matter to me , if she is into me like I am into her that’s all that matters

Aerissa_Jade · Answer

Not really anyone too much younger, but give or take up to 30 years above is fine by me. Tbh, there is a lot in common with older people, except maybe some pop culture references.

Pinay_ako · Answer

10 years older or 5 years younger…

PJH359 · Answer

I require a woman to be at least 25 and no more than 52 (three years older than myself). Of course exceptions could be made on either end. On the younger side I cannot imagine I’d have much in common with someone under 25. However let’s consider the possibility that she’s Asian or Indian (especially.. but any race of course) and by 25 she could possibly have a doctorate degree in psychology…which would be very interesting! Or on the other end I know some older women who have apparently found the fountain of youth. I recently dated a 51 year old who could put many girls half her age to shame…and she had three kids without the income or desire for cosmetic surgery. Just great genetics among other things. I rambled a bit…sorry!🤓

CrazyGirl2 · Answer

Right now it’s 25, (but I am only 19) I figured 25 is a good age difference, at least until I turn 21, then perhaps I’ll increase it to 28. I doubt that I’ll raise my dating age to over 30 until I am at least 25 myself, but more likely 28. Either way, after I turn 25, I’ll raise my dating age cutoff to “safe and prudent” I guess as long as the guy seems safe, and I feel dating him is the prudent thing to do, then I’ll date him! Hopefully I will be married long before I turn 30.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

60, once I hit 60 I am not planning on dating.

i am sure two people dribbling in their soup and trying to eat steak with their best teeth in (dating teeth) will not be much fun.

Also by the time you actually get upstairs and sort yourself out for bed, you will both forget why you went to bed in first place.

EmmaMary · Answer

This makes me laugh and smile, because apparently when I was born my Father made an announcement making it very clear that I was not to have a boyfriend until I was at least  Eighty Years  old... How very wrong he got that! 😂

fonduegirl · Answer

37. Because Yu Shirota is 36.

But jokes aside, I know it can lead to disastrous relationship depending on how wide the age gap is.

I can mostly date a person who's 5yrs older than me, or who's at least 18.

Except Yu. I'd date his older guy ass. 😘

Whatever2929292 · Answer

Not under 18 and not over child bearing ages. I would say 40 would be my limit. Even if she is a amazing woman and is beautiful... The problem is that my chances of having a family with her are slim to none.

I won't say never either but. Past 40 I HIGHLY doubt it

enirikiu · Answer

Probably not more than two years younger than me and not more than three years older. So 19-24. My age range is rather narrow I guess, but I tend to gravitate towards those within my generation who I can relate to better. My boyfriend is a year younger than me.

Telekinetic-Potato · Answer

21-30 probably

Honestly, I think I like older women better because they're just a little more mature. They tend to know who they are and seem more comfortable in their own skin.

After dating around for a while, I think I've noticed the most difficult obsticle in any of them was the woman not really having her bearings in life set.

normalice · Answer

I suppose technically I don't have one so long as there is mutual physical attraction, sexual compatibility, and no glaring personality conflicts. However, girls substantially younger or older than me are almost certian to have some pretty stark personality conflicts.

IveGotNoName · Answer

So I'm turning 20 within the month. My age limit is probably 19 at the youngest and 22 at the oldest. I don't want to date someone in a totally different place in life than me, I would find it weird to be dating someone who goes to high school or someone who is finished with university for example. Whenever I finish university, the age limit will most definitely change (all though as of now I'm in a relationship, so hopefully that won't really be something I think much about)

Zeus_66 · Answer

If I was single, and I was dating older women, at the age I'm at now (44 years of age), I'd go as high as 60, especially if the dating is casual and based on sex.

If i was looking for a serious relationship and found myself in one, probably no higher than 52-53 for me at the moment. Going younger, I wouldn't go any less than 36-37, but probably 40ish.

Steve7111 · Answer

I’m 50, so I’d probably put my lower limit around 35, maybe 30. Even at 30 it would start to feel weird. Upper limit would depend on the woman. Sometimes I see women around my age and think they look so old (like I can talk :) ) but I’ve also met women in their 60’s I’ve found very attractive. So upper limit? The oldest woman I actually know who I’d definitely date if the chance arose, is 64. But as a general rule for me, I prefer women around 45-55.

Don’t ask the age limit for dating with guys and girls same thread
Girls say the age of someone they will potentially marry !
Guys say the age of well as the qs says - dating - but not for marriage. Some say up to 40 that’s for dating don’t confused it with marrying , marrying it will be half of the 40!

loveslongnails · Answer

It really depends on mutual interests and what we have to talk about. I don't have anything in common it seems, with girls under about 25-28. Occasionally I'll meet a younger girl who seems to have an "old soul" and we get along really well. If I have to pick a number, it would be 7 - 10 years, either direction.

MikeInHawaii · Answer

She has to be over 18.

I said that to a female friend when I was 29. She thoroughly chewed me out and told me what a pig I was. The funny things are:

At the time, the biggest age difference I had ever actually had on a date was eight years. That was once when I went out to dinner WITH HER. She was 37.

She was married when she was 20 to a 33-year-old.

A year after this conversation, she was 38 and married a 27-year-old.

sofia444 · Answer

27 lol. Dating seems waste of time and energy. I masturbate when i feel horny and go to sleep. I enjoy company of my family and a few of my friends more than any guy. Dating is too much work. I don't wanna dress up or shave my legs. Love being ugly in peace.

Intothevoid666 · Answer

18-20 there are no other acceptable ages for a long term relationship currently for me and I don't know if that will really change with age. I can say forsure tho I will never consider women My own age. They are just not emotionally attractive to me in the slightest not exactly sexually attractive either in all honesty

SaartjieJane · Answer

I can’t imagine dating someone younger than me and only because more often than not they’re just going to muck around and settling down is not something they want.
15 years older I think would be the max for me.
