Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yWell sometimes there's no defense for some of these guys, they are just creepy lol, but playing devil's advocate, I know myself I'm absolutely horrible when it comes to guessing people's ages. I'm often WAY off and/or have no idea. Maybe it might be obvious to someone else, but not to me. Also when it comes to my own age, I often have to remind myself how old I am LOL, seriously. I still feel like I'm in my 20's, and I'm in my 40's. Time goes by so, so quickly as you get older, you "forget" sometimes and it's like "oh yeah, I'm..." And younger women tend to be less "jaded" as well, friendlier, happier, energetic which is attractive so it think it's a BIG reason why we are attracted to younger. Having said that, personally I don't go around hitting on women period, never mind much younger, BUT, I could see this as is the case a lot for me a lot of the time. And, there are some women that like older guys as well, and most guys know that, so they'll try and see.

+1 yIt's actually biology for men to be attracted to younger girls. It's the same reason why you'd choose to get a new bag of crackers instead of ones that been out for a while. Just better anyways if you're legal I don't see how it's pedo. Technically you're old to be a father at any age soo

And when I’m like 25, my dating range would be from 25-40
Asker+1 yI think that your dating range at 25 should be from 25 to 30

Well, okay, maybe 40 is too old. Why not 35?
Asker+1 yBecause abuse is higher in relationship with big age gap

Yes, age gaps do contribute to divorce, but many people make it work
Asker+1 yand you are just starting your career while he is at his career peak also most quality guy are not single in their early 30s
Asker+1 yMost women in Reddit regret being in a age gap relationship (it won't and don't end well)
- +1 y
There are good single guys in their early 30s and it all narrows down to age. I’m just a bit more open with my options than you
Asker+1 yYes they can make it work but do you think your relationship would work? I am not trying to be rude just realistic why he even want to date a young girl (also do you know that women live more than men so you are gonna spend decade alone age gaps don't have any long term benifit do your research (I did mine)
- +1 y
Well, yeah, I mean, it’s be tough, obviously, but with trust, communication and love, I’m pretty sure I can. Also, maybe I can reduce it to 35, because 25 and 35 is jus like a 10 year age gap and that’s fine
Asker+1 y10 year is huge I have cousin who are 10 year old I don't relate with them. but please do more research on negative effect of age gap and why most woman regret being in one.
- +1 y
Maturity doesn’t depend on one’s age. Being in a relationship with a 10 year age gap is hard, but people do make it work
Asker+1 yListen I want you to be happy you can whatever you want to do with your life I am just trying to give you best advice based on my research. believe me you would be happier with someone around your age (in long term also please concentrate on your career and education it is way more important than boys (education and career stay with you while boys can leave) all the best I hope that you would have a successful life

lol, I know. My mum did her post graduation after she got married and had my brother. She found it really hard, so I’d never make the same mistake as her. I’d have kids only after I turn 30, after I start earning. Thank you very much. I get where you’re coming from, and yeah, I always put my education and career first :) <3
+1 yOld enough to be my father... that’s gross
Other than that, older men are waay better in my opinion220 Reply
Asker+1 yHow old are we talking about? Yes someone who is like 4 or 5 year older than me can be cute but anything more than than is getting into gross category
- +1 y
Well I’m 20 and I say 25-35...
Asker+1 y25 is okay but I think 35 is too old (and 15 year old can have kids so he is old enough to be your father)
Asker+1 yI mean his friends would talk about their kids and job while you are studying and doing internship how would you fit in?
Asker+1 yany reason why you like them?
- +1 y
I can’t look at guys my age, I think they’re too immature... or they’re at that “I’m a fuckboy” stage in life which is a complete turn off for me.
Personality and character is what attracts me the most to a man, so if a guy is everything I want then I don’t care about his age or what he looks like. He’s already caught my attention and he’ll have it until he gives me a reason to take it back. Age is just a number and people of different ages have different maturity levels. But I would never go for a guy younger than me...
So I think early 30s is a reasonable limit for me and my personality.
Asker+1 yage don't make anyone mature my 17 year old cousin is super mature (she care about her future and already have planned everything and she also work and she want to become a doctor also have backup plan in case she didn't) she don't waste her time in partying or doing drugs or video games (unlike many adult who are still trying to find themselves) (she already know what she want to do and is working hard for it)
- +1 y
lol that’s what I said
“people of different ages have different maturity levels...”
Asker+1 yalso many old men are in that fuckboy phase too ever heard of forever girlfriend term. Many old men do this they never purpose also many are attracted to youth so they can and actually leave you for another 20
Asker+1 yage is not a number it is more than it (why do you think that those men in their early 30s are not married with someone or dating someone because there is probably something wrong with them I rarely see a quality guy in his 30s who is actually single
either don't like commitment
only into young girl
still fuckboy
can't stay in a long term relationship
Asker+1 ypeople say that age is a number so men can go after young girls they're glorifying age gap relationship which is so creepy. dating old men is like wasting your youth go to dating website most problematic relationship have age gap.
Asker+1 yalso in abusive relationship according to statistics men is usually older than average age gap in the country.

The fact that you think that there must be something wrong with a guy who’s not married in his early 30s makes you seem narrow minded...
there are a lot of things that could stop someone from marrying in their 20s, both men and women. Lots of women are single in their early 30s, does that automatically mean that there’s something wrong with them?
Some people just choose to prioritise themselves, their career and health before pursuing a relationship, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that in my opinion. Of course there’s limits to how big the age gap can be until it sends out red flags... but for me personally early 30s is good.
Asker+1 yusually woman who are single in their 30s are because guy (their guy ended up cheated on them or was abusing them just my experience it is different from men being a fuckboy)
Asker+1 ywhy don't these people who were prioritising their education are not dating someone around their age? there is reason why age gap is bigger in abusive relationship. these guys don't have anything in common with a college girl
they think young girl are naive (easy to control)
have fetish for youth (would leave you for a younger girl)
Asker+1 yjust go to dating or relationship sub reddit most old woman regret dating old guys and in most abusive relationship guy there is always older
Asker+1 ythink about it society look down on old men going after young girl (how creepy you need to to pursue young girls even after it)
Asker+1 yand how do you fit in his social circle (his friends literally are talking about their kids lol)
- +1 y
Okay girl let me just say one thing. You’re being biased and you’re not looking at it from different perspectives which makes it hard to have a discussion about it with you. So let’s agree to disagree lol
Asker+1 yOkay let's do it but remember me if you end up regretting it after 15 year (I see so many old lady's who do) hope you won't through and all the best bye

+1 yThe rule that a man is supposed to use when dating a younger woman goes like this.
Take your age and divide it in half and then add seven years and that is the youngest woman that you can date.
For example I am 50. So take 50 divided by 2 and you get 25. Add 7 to the 25 and the youngest woman I can date is 32 years old.00 Reply
