What age span would you be willing to date a partner? 5, 10, 15 years younger? Older?
How important is age to you? I'd be willing to date someone maybe 5 years younger, but I'm not sure if anyone younger than that would suit me. Your thoughts?

I would be willing to date someone 20 years younger but I have no expectation that it wold ever happen. I don't pursue women that much younger but if one approached me (unlikely, I know,) I wouldn't automatically dismiss her. I would want to know about common interests and goals, whether there is a possible basis for a relationaship other than lust and fantasy.
I would be willing to date a woman older than me and I have done so several times. When I was 23, I dated a woman who was 46. When I was 25, I dated a woman who was 36. When I was 62, I dated a woman who was 79. For me, the issue with older women is not their age but their health. If they are still healthy and active, I am open to dating them.
My current girlfriend is 59 and I am 67.
@Haha456 Yes, I dated a woman who was 79 but she was still healthy and active. No, after our fourth date (on Valentine's Day, roses, dinner, etc.) she decided that she felt guilty for dating (her husband had died about 10 years previously) so she broke up with me. She was a very nice lady and if we had continued dating and it became sexual, I'm sure it would have been enjoyable.
The older one gets, the less age matters. But I'm only 26, so a 10 year age gap would probably be weird (she'd be 16 or 36), and a 15 year age gap would be impossible. But 5 years would be perfectly fine. I used to be overly fixated on finding a girl my age or AT MOST within 3 years difference. But I've since learned I can and should expand my age range a bit. I've never seen a woman over 30 (who isn't a celebrity) who didn't feel like an older sister, cousin, or aunt, but I think as young as 20 might be mature enough for me to not feel like a babysitter. But I haven't found any good options despite relaxing my age gap rule, so I might have to relax it again if I'm a 40 year old virgin. But I don't want to relax it too much and be some old creep.
though I think age doesn't matter, I think what I call the brain age should be close, just take music, 5 years different in age but a million miles from music, but in saying that, each person should I think have their own outlet of things to do, so both of you are not under each other's feet all the time,
I would be willing to date someone 5 years older than me but not any older. I really wouldn't date anyone more than maybe 2 years younger than me, maybe.
I am just a the age where I am transitioning into more of an adult life and someone older than me would more likely be aligning with my stage of life.

At my current age of 25, the youngest I'd go is around 22 and the oldest is like 32.
I don't like the idea of going too young, but I met someone who seemed perfect and was like 21, then I probably wouldn't say no, so it's hard.
DId you just turn 26?
I turned 26 in March. I thought I typed that, but it looks like I wrote 25 instead FFS.
Since I am married, I will no longer date anyone regardless of age, however, when I was single, I wouldn't mind dating anyone who was 5-10 or even 15 years younger or older than me, if that was the case. Age to me does not matter that much. I am however much more inclined to date somebody older than younger than me, and this was even more so the case when I was younger.
I spent to many years of my life setting up roadblocks because of age. I'm more concerned with her and I being at the same point in life. And not everyone arrives there at the same time. Having said that, statistically speaking your odds of success fall off dramatically with age plus or minus more than 10 years. So I tend to look in that range.
So, if you are 48, you wouldn't mind dating a 58 yr old woman or a 38 yr old, correct? Sounds reasonbale.
People who get convulsions about age difference are those who are only talking about relationships in school or college. Later in life, it does not matter, and few men understand that women your age start looking older than you much sooner after your midlife.
I'm 26. I would only date guys 25-35. I don't date too much older because I can't grow old with someone who is already old. I wouldn't be happy being married to a 60 yr old senior citizen by the time I'm 43.
20-60. I look younger than my age and am in very good shape.
It shouldn't matter, as long as it's legal, as in an 18 year old, shouldn't be sleeping with a 15 year old (age of consent here, is 16)
Depends upon age of partners.
Age means much more when younger.
As people age, it means less - as long as nobody is robbing the cradle.
5-9 yr difference at that age?
Probably not, but its not my call.
I'm 24; 24/2=12; 12+7=19; 24-19=5
24-5=19; 24+5=29
so 19-29
But if I am attracted to someone and they are over 18 sure.
I dated someone 25 years younger than me. I didn't pursue them, they pursued me
I am 34, dating a woman that is older than me is basically giving up on having children.
nobody older than 30. I want healthy kids with a future partner.
They found a deterioration in sperm quality and quantity after age 35.
www.newscientist.com/.../
According to a new review of studies involving older fathers, the average man’s reproductive capacity may similarly decline at 35, and men might want to consider freezing their sperm before they reach that age.
www.thecut.com/.../...d-paternal-age-35-or-45.html
Sperm quality is the best before a man reaches 25 years of age. It is the worst by the time a man hits 55 years of age.
Sperm motility is how well the sperm swim. 1 Sperm motility was best before age 25 and lowest after age 55.

+/- 5 years is best, although I might date younger than that for the right woman
I tend to skew towards much younger, but I'm open.
Same age or or about a 1-2 years older but never under or way older.
10-20 years older if a guy. 14-5 years younger if a girl.
I’m 26, and I think around like 23-33 is what I’m mostly attracted to. I just feel more in common with a similar and older age group
At 26 I dated 49. Now at 39 I did 25. About 10 years up or down is about right
My age for a girlfriend, but as long as I'm single I would be willing to hang out with someone far older.
Anything more than a year older or younger than me feels weird.
