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

Question

Since I'm 20. I like guys similar to my age.

WhitneySnow · Accepted Answer

Same age, same as you. Maybe a couple years older but no more than that. Theoretically I might go a year or two younger but I’ve never done that and I’m not sure I want to.

Note: this might change and my range might get broader in like ten years or so if I’m single (right now I’m seeing someone and we’re very happy so it’s all theoretical like what if I were single now)

Crimsyjo · Accepted Answer

I prefer a bit younger. Because I think they match my energy levels more. I can't trust a relationship to last if it's with a guy too much younger than me. So I'd be comfortable with 37 and up. I would go older. But it's rare to find a guy on my level who is older.

HawkPerception · Accepted Answer

Younger because I prefer a dominant submissive dynamic in a relationship, but honestly I'm open dating much older... like 15 to 20 years older as well.

As long as I have chemistry and I'm physically attracted to them, I'd gladly date someone.

Of course, one issue is that I want a family of my own, and dating older than myself probably would not allow that.

I prefer younger girls’ but age doesn’t really matter to me as long as her and I have great chemistry and connection together , I dated younger girls’ that were more respectful and maturer than girls’ my age or older , so her age doesn’t determine whether I would be interested in her or not.

AviatorTom · Answer

I've dated women slightly older than me and slightly younger than me. Age isn't really thst important. My first wife was 5 years younger. My current wife is a few months older.

Berethor · Answer

Women older than me can't give me a baby, and less likely to be virgin, pretty useless.

Subtle_Luminescence · Answer

I never had a preference for age as such. I have been with girls who were my age, a two year younger/older than me and someone who was 10+ years older than me. If I am finding them attractive, easy to bond with and intellectually stimulating enough, I don't care about age at all.

Anonymous · Answer

Same , don’t know how girls go for older guys

paledreams · Answer

Since I'm 30, I'm slowly hitting a mid life crisis ahahahaha and so I could still plausible date any sensible woman aged 18-24 or even aged 18-29 if I really wanted to go further into late 20s.

If I was a 35-40 year old man saying I still wanted to date a woman who's 20 or 21, that's just sick 🤢🥶♂️ ♀️ 🤢🤮🤮🤢🤮🤢

Older guys I guess. Been married 4 years. Id hate to have met a guy my own age as guys don't mature until they are 30. Guys by age 30 have their life together, car, career, education, savings, house etc. My husband is 35 and I was so attracted the day I met him in church that I had to change my underwear when I got home.

Anonymous · Answer

My girlfriend is a few years younger than me and I like that. If we broke up I'd probably wait until I'm 30-40 and marry a 20 year old. That seems like a good investment. I didn't really think about age prior to my current girlfriend because I was too young to date someone significantly younger without being a pedo.

Starrrboy · Answer

For a long time I've been usually attracted to older girls.. but recently I went for younger ( both were college girls )... aaand they made me like older girls even more now lol... Ideally I want a girl my age or very close but man that's hard..

Djaay · Answer

Relationship with a woman much to my senior 48 -me 18 for 12 years till she passed. Was just awesome. Childless tho , I then found a much younger girl to marry for kids and her too of course. Another new born this Sept. And it's been going on 9 years together so far. And that too is so awesome. Sure been different than I ever imagined, although wouldn't do it any othercway.

Lliam · Answer

I guess younger.
When I was 16, my first girlfriend was over a year younger.
All my girlfriends were younger.
The biggest age gap was when I was 36 and my girlfriend was 30.
My wife is 2.5 years younger.

NathanDavis · Answer

it doesn't really matter much to me... but they just happened to be my same age or slightly younger (younger ex-girlfriend was almost four years younger)

but I've also met women who were four, six and even 10 years older than me

Emmaky02 · Answer

I’ve dated a guy my age (a few mths older), and a guy younger than me by one year. so generally, as long as they are close to my age. but when i was single, i did look for guys a bit older.

Caroline91 · Answer

I went for older than me by 15 years. Although I never dated him... I just married him and skipped the whole dating part.

Seinna · Answer

Close to my age... up to 2 years younger and up to 5 years older. Larger age difference increase likelihood of divorce/relationship is not as stable. My husband is one year older.

EmmaMary · Answer

@myloveforuisinfinte  Well my husband is almost three years older than me... Hope this helps.

Anonymous · Answer

I am dating someone much younger than me. However, I wouldn't say that's because I prefer younger men. It's just sort of what happened.

In fact, I was actually pretty hesitant at first because I was concerned about him being younger

Miristheiss · Answer

Younger. My wife is a few years younger.  I'd guess the majority of men prefer to date the same age and younger and most women prefer to date the same age and older.

Lavandin · Answer

The best age range is 1 year old. I would definitely want to have a relationship with a 20 or 22 year old woman. The best in every way.

molonski2 · Answer

For females' the man should always be older..  And of course for me , they need to be a considerable younger or I'd have no interest.

Ever since my teens, I have never dated anyone older than me.

Naughty-Nymph · Answer

It depends on the person honestly, some people are more mature/ experienced than others. But generally I would prefer someone a bit older than me or my age. Max 5 years not more than that cause then there tends to be a generation gap.
