Does age matter when dating?

Do you prefer a larger age gap and by how many years? Prefer someone older or younger?

My age now , I prefer a younger girl , mainly because younger girls’ tend to look up to her man , she feels safe and protected by him for the most part , I don’t really hold age as a deciding factor but my experiences with younger girls’ has been better than my experiences with girls ‘ my age or older. It mainly comes down to the chemistry and connection her and I share , and if we are both attracted not each other. I tend to get hit on more by younger girls’ than older girls’ so that’s a reason as well lol Her age isn’t going to determine whether I like her or not , plus I feel I am pretty wise, not to go for a girl that is way younger than me let alone I been hit on by girls’ that I was old enough to be their Dad , which it’s ok but I wouldn’t take it seriously , I like to consider myself a gentlemen when a girl flirts with me , I always put myself in her shoes before saying something rude or disrespectful, Even if I am not interested in her , I still treat her with kindness and respect and tell her I am flattered that she approached me , I can’t stand people that are rude to someone that shows interest in them , We don’t walk around with signs flashing over our heads saying what we like and don’t like , or what are current relationship status is , So when I see someone being rude to someone for no reason, I lose respect for that person. I think it’s so disrespectful

Being closer together age wise often helps you have similar things in common. But you also might find things in common and or have good compatibility with some one 10 plus or minus your age. Without that level of compatibility it’s not going to work out.

Personally, yes. I feel like I wouldn’t really get along with someone that has a big age gap. The ideal age range would be between 2 years younger to 5 years older, though I think I prefer someone older (or someone who feels older in a mature sense/is more knowledgeable).

Yes, everyone should have an age before they date.

I prefer to stay within a 0 to 10 year gap.

I prefer younger but if we vibe I don't really care about age that much

[AmeerX]

Not really unless you just want to make it an excuse

Being closer in age makes things easier in general
