Would you be in a relationship with a younger guy?

I'm married to a guy 16 years younger than me, so I'd say I'd be open to a relationship with a younger man. Haha.
Before I met my now husband I refused to date a guy that was even a year younger than me. All my previous relationships were with older guys. I didn't want to date someone who would be in a different stage of life and/or would be more emotionally/mentally more immature. I also only look for relationships with the intent of commitment and younger guys often aren't as interested in that. It took quite a bit to convince me to go on a date with my now husband.
However, when I did go out with him we immediately clicked. I soon found out he was very mature. In fact, he was more mature than a lot of older guys I'd dated before. Moreover, he was completely ready for commitment, he was a college grad with a good job, and he had similar life goals as me. In fact, some aspects of him being younger were actually a great part of the relationship (he's more energetic, less baggage, he lasts longer in bed, etc).
I don't think the strong majority of guys 17 years younger would be a good match for me. However, my husband was an exception and I'm so glad I gave him a chance. Sometimes age truly is just a number!

At 27 I went out with a 21 year old man. Short lived due to his personality not age.

Younger than me, at my age, is middle age. I would if the timing was right meaning we were on similar paths. As we age we have different goals, maturing, nesting, revelations and life shifts. These things take place at different times for different people so timing is important.

I’d say the youngest men who showed interest were in their mid to late 30’s. Be it friendship or otherwise I didn’t reciprocate (I don’t look my age on a good day)

If he was ready for marriage and kids to death do us part than yes - The problem with younger guys is they might cheat on you or not want marriage

That can happen with guys our age and older guys too though unfortunately 😔

Depends on how young. I don't think I could go under a few years. But if he was mature, intelligent, and my type of guy then sure.

Age is not an issue. Sometimes younger men are much more mature than the older ones.

Well, I'm still quite young (18). So no, I wouldn't consider dating anyone younger than me. But later, during my mid 20's I'd be okay with dating someone a year or two younger. But I have a feeling that perhaps you might have been aiming this question towards women in their late 20's or 30's?

I have had a long standing crush on a man that is approximately 5 years younger than me. I am going to be 35 and I think that he is roughly between 29-31... it’s like anything else in life... if you two connect than she is truly just a number!

I prefer
guys, or a guy who is my age. I have a better rapport with older guys. I find them much more emotionally and mentally mature, and more levelheaded than younger guys. Younger guys aren't usually at the same stage in life as me.

If he’s really serious about a relationship. But most young guys go through a phase of wanting to experiment with older women. So, most are never serious.

I prefer guys my same age but I would and have dated guys who were a few years younger than me. If the connection is there, that’s more important

When I’m 35 , yes I would be into younger men such as 30-34. Once you get older , you will be more open to dating younger men.

If we fit well, sure. I don’t think I’d be able to date a guy more than a year younger though. It’d make me feel like I was dating a kid.
