Do you prefer to date someone who is older or younger than you and why?

Question

BullShark · Accepted Answer

I can go eitherway; younger or older. If she's younger, I usually go no more than 2-3 years younger than I am (except that one time I dated an 18 year old at age 24) and the same goes for older too.

In my personal experience though, I will say that I have a lot more success with older women, just because they're usually more mature, know what they want and don't usually believe in playing games. Plus, they sometimes tend to find my intellectual and more "mature for my age" side very attractive, so I also tend to get frequent compliments like "you're so mature but you're still so young! Guys my age tend to be manchildren in comparison" or one of my personal favorites being "I wish you were a year or two older" lmao

Younger. I'm a guy, I don't want "older".

I have always dated the same age or younger. I dated the same age until I got to be about 20. Once I progressed through my 20's I started dating younger. My wife is about 5 years younger than me.

Why? Biology and culture. Men want to marry young women. Culture, modern western women are really promiscuous so a 25 year old is most likely ran through. 30? Forget about it. Many guys like non promiscuous women are long term mates... just like women like charming, successful, confident men. Each sex has their own unique mate selection preferences.

Same age, but I’m open to dating men ages 34 through 50 (but I’m always being told I should be only dating men aged 50 through 65-ish). I prefer someone who is in the same stage of life as me. We both lived through the same time frame, have the same problems, listened to the same music, watched the same shows, get each other’s pop culture references, etc.

Finchie40 · Answer

Younger mainly because of my horrible experiences with older , so I been leaning more to younger, younger girls’ usually don’t carry much baggage compared to an older girl , just my opinion

MrOracle · Answer

With the exception of my girlfriend in kindergarten (she was a worldly first-grader), I've only ever dated younger women.

HawkPerception · Answer

I don't care too much about age, but ideally the girl would be younger than myself.

SnowyOwl · Answer

Maturity is not entirely age dependent, unfortunately 😂 So, as long as they're an adult, and mature enough to have a healthy relationship... I prefer younger than me.

Stevepro68 · Answer

I have dated older and younger. No rules but when you get to my age single women are... If I had to use a single word- angry. My girlfriend is much younger we've been together for a while. Our kids from are precious marriages are the same age. We have a lot in common.

Alice18 · Answer

My boyfriend is a little older than me, but in fact we are the same age. Personally, I would only date my peers. Guys younger than me have nothing to offer me, even talking to them is boring, and I don't have fun with older guys.

Zack-Bann · Answer

I would say same age mentally.
Meaning that within a reasonable margin a few years older or younger doesn’t make a difference but once the gap becomes significant you know the relationship won’t last

thundernugget · Answer

Older. More mature, usually more stable with work and finances, etc. Especially for someone like me, it’s preferable. Usually someone my age or younger just wants to play games and I don’t have the time or patience for that.

Shiprex · Answer

It would vary. Age isn't the key here to attraction because as an adult it's more important to have an intellectual and/or emotional link as well as some kind of social skill to be able to communicate and learn with each other.

RHK36 · Answer

At this point I'm indifferent. Turns out to be younger women lately probably because they have less baggage and can still have kids. Older women tend to be more jaded with less time and less room for growing.
