Do you prefer to date someone older, or younger than yourself?

Nowadays younger , mainly because my experiences with older women all turned to shit , not saying age really matters , but to a certain extent it does , Most females in general like looking up to a guy , she feels safe and protected by him and she loves his wisdom and maturity , Older girls’ don’t really like being with a younger guy, mainly because she feels like she is taking care of him , like she is taking the lead , older women only like younger guys’ mainly for sex but other than sex, they really don’t have much in common with them. I can’t speak for everyone , I am just answering based off of my experiences. So I prefer younger , not saying I wouldn’t date an older girl if the right one came along , I just prefer pursuing younger for my personal reasons

Older. My parents were older when I was born (mom almost 45) so when they'd entertain, the children of their friends were all older than I was by 5 or more years. Because of this, I grew up seeing people five or more years older as my contemporaries.

I don’t date but if I was forced to date, then it would only be someone substantially older than me. The reason is simple.


Older people tend to enjoy life and not just think of fornication. That would be ideal for me since I don’t copulate. They are much more mature and have life experience and more wisdom than younger men.


They have other priorities in life than just the ones younger men have. They do not think so much with their genitals and are no longer ruled by their testosterone.

No one forces you to date.

[SueShe]

@Peridot25 and that is exactly why I don't date, because I have that liberty.

Perfecto opinion

✨I'm so excited to see your questions! They are always so thoughtful, lighthearted, and oh so fun!

For myself, I do prefer older men. I am a student of philosophers which are the most wise ones on earth. My husband is older than me and he teaches me things which I love. He encourages being educated, well-behaved, and well-spoken.🌹

I don’t care much. I have dated someone my age, younger, 20 year older, and currently I am dating someone 8 year older.

[sage2021]

For some reason, I think it's because I look so much younger than I am, I always end up with younger guys.

My last boyfriend, who passed away 6 months ago was 6 years younger than me.

I've dated guys 10 years younger than me m

But I really would like to have an older man next time, if I ever date again.

[Starrrboy]

My absolute favorite is a girl exactly my age or 1-2 years younger.. but lately I've been quite into older girls cuz they tend to be much better personality wise.. although I never had a full experience with them..

[Serkee]

Older. I don't really like most women my age or younger than me, they tend to just get on my nerves. I don't want dating to feel like I'm babysitting a 25 year old teenager.

[lmkimcurious]

I never intended to be with an older man but I married someone much older than me and it was amazing. Part of my attraction to him was his maturity but that’s such an individual thing. You can’t really equate it to age.

[Benjiman19]

Honestly, it doesn't really matter to me all that much. Younger girls are more wild and older girls are more mature/experienced. But I'd be happy with either.

[molonski2]

Well for me there is only one choice , they need to younger and they need to be quite a bit younger..

[Peridot25]

How young you talking here?

[molonski2]

My absolute preference would be 40 plus , my previous girl is 41 years , the one after that 29 years , but 29 looked older than the 41 ( looked very young , often the case here ) ..
The older the better in many ways but ideal over 40 , it makes it easier.
Anyhow , that's still much younger than me..

[RetroReviews]

Older only for hopes of they will be more mature because immaturity is such a turn off

[PeachyPie93]

I don't really care as long as he is emotionally smart and a good person.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Someone just a bit older. They have to be around my age. 25-30 years. Old works for me.

[Nikki1989]

It was always older men for me. I am far more flexible when it comes to dating women.

[Berethor]

I'm 36, women older than myself have problems with fertility, so I prefer younger women.

[thegreenyogi]

I'd prefer my same age. Not necessarily the exact same age. It can be a 2-5 years older or younger but that's my limit.

[TonyMetal___86]

Younger but it's okay if she's in my age range, might accept her if she's a little older than me if she was special!

[LiamS95]

Older they're generally far more mature and established and stable.

[MsBrie]

either younger or older as long as they act they age.

[SYTHOX]

I want younger woman (20-21) but think an older would be a better match (27-28) personally

[handsomelad70]

Younger !!!(Seriously, even as a younger man, I've never been into the older broads.)

[dolemite58]

Definitely younger, older women can be fun for flings but they’re usually frightening to be around aside from that.

[Flatmanlewis]

I’ve dated both older and younger in my days. In the end I married younger but age was not a dominant factor in my decision to propose.
