My boyfriend is 22 years older then me and it's easily the best relationship of my life. I've had 4 boyfriends before him (all my age) and they were all way too immature for me and had no interest in a real commitment. From my experience guys my age are a lot more likely to only be interested in "dating" me in order to get into my pants (and when you do have sex with them they're often really bad lovers as they're very selfish and not interested in your pleasure so long as they get theirs)
My boyfriend now is the exact opposite of all that. I think the fact he's so much older actually makes him more compatible for me then someone my age. Moreover, since I've had a past of boyfriends just wanting me for sex I told him that he was going to have to wait a long while to get sex. He was completely patient, supportive, and understanding about that (even though I could tell he really, really, really wanted it). He told me he was willing to wait for however long it took because being with me was worth it. I never told him how long it would be, so as far as he knew it would be forever. However, when we did finally start having sex (3 months into our relationship) he was an amazing lover. My sexual needs are a major priority for him in bed. He wasn't selfish (unlike the guys my age I slept with) Consequently it's easily the best sex I've ever had. In fact, I can pretty confidently say I want sex even more then he does (which is a first for me in the relationship world)
I finally found someone (in my boyfriend) who loves and cares for me like no one ever has before. I am so lucky to have him- he means the world to me. Again, I think that it in part is due to older men being more mature and more interested in real committed monogamist relationships. Again, I'm sure there are exceptions both ways, but I also think there's a strong pattern there.
I obviously couldn't date someone who was significantly younger then me. Firstly, I'm already with someone. However, even if I was single that would be illegal. haha. Also, I'm not interested in dating guys who are way too immature and not interested in moving towards commitment. Since the guys my age are usually like that I think it's safe to say younger guys are even more likely to be like that.
I'm 17 and will be turning 18 in February. In the US, whatever are the states' AOC. (Some are 16 and some are 18).
Even when I am going to turn 18, since my state's AOC is 16, I see no problem in dating them. It's not illegal unless you're the AOC and if they give consent. This won't change until I hit 30 years old.
Basically I'll date 16yos before I hit 30. There's nothing wrong with platonic relationships and relationships that involves no sex, though that is the least of my worries.
The oldest age I'd date is 40.
In all fairness, 17 is still pretty young and immature (not saying it in a bad way). You're in high school. You have so much more to see and experience. This can definitely shape what you want out of a partner and a relationship. You say you're willing to date someone 16 years old, which is fine now because you're still a minor and haven't matured mentally yet (which doesn't even really happen until your early to mid 20s!). But that will probably ost likely change when you get older, even just 2 or 3 years older. I'm 25 right and I don't even remember who I was when I was 17. I changed so much that I feel like a different person. I've also dated a lot since then and my standards and preferences have completely reinvented themselves. As a woman, dating someone who is 18-20 years old feel just plain wrong and pedophilic because of how different our mental maturity would be, let alone 16.
Even if a lot of states have age of consent laws that say 16 yr olds can sex, there are a lot of restrictions that come along with it as well. Check out Romeo and juliet laws. I don't remember exactly, but I think the oldest a 16 yr can have sex with is 3 years older than them, which would be 19. The age of consent law where the age is lower than a legal adult will still not let a 25 or 30 yr old have sex with a 16 yr old. That's just plain wrong
Never really dated much over my own age, maybe two years older than me and I am 60 now but five years ago 21 and 22 year old women, but other than those to women I have not dated since 2007 0r 2008 and she was 6 years younger, before that 1992 and she was 6 years younger. But for 27 years of that I have not been dating anyone. 21 years locked up for shooting the man I caught my love with and it was because he pulled a gun first. In 2012 I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer that was really aggressive and I have not be able to perform. I have been through cancer treatment 2 times. With no Prostate, all the radiation, rerouting of my male plumbing and the mental blows from the 1992 issue with closure and not being able to do much after treatment I am not much of a dating catch anymore, especially with my age, lack of funds to explore more treatment to ED, along with my declining over all health because I can barely walk now, my dating life is non-existing. I will put it this way I don't have women beating my door down for sex or dates.
u I would be very flattered if a woman younger than 50 had any romantic interest in me, and if I was single, I might at least have one date with her to see whether we had any common interests, but
1. I don't expect to ever attract the attention of a lady younger than 50.
2. Although a sexual relationship with a younger woman would be exciting, that is not enough to make a relationship work. I don't think that a relationship with a younger woman would have any chance of success.
When I was 62, I had a date with a woman who was 82 and I also had a few dates with a woman who was 78. Both of them were healthy and active and looked younger than their age. My upper limit is defined not by their age but by their health, fitness, and whether they are maintaining an active lifestyle.
My current girlfriend is 57 years old. I think she is the final girlfriend, my partner for the rest of my life. I hope!

My preference is a guy no older than 50 and no younger than mid 20s. I might go up to 70 if the guy is healthy.
I'm 25, the max I will take seriously for a husband potential guy is 33. The youngest I'd go for is 25. Guys younger than me usually do not come close to matching me.
I would date 35-40 yr old guys but I really wouldn't take them seriously as marriage potential unless the connection is extremely unique and cannot be found in anyone else. But even if so, I would still be reluctant to marry them. I want to marry someone I can grow old and spend the rest of my life with, not someone who will hit the grave way earlier than me.
I'm 25 and I would only consider dating someone a couple years younger than me or older than me. It's not like age would stop me if I find someone that I really like but what I look more is for someone who has the same mental maturity as me and who has the same core values as me. Usually I don't find this in guys younger than me. Only guys older than me but not too old. The most I would do is maybe 10 years older but we would have to be at the same level of understanding. I can't have a guy who is too old fashioned or too "dominant," "macho," or "controlling," which you find a lot in guys who are older.
I'm chronologically old but don't look it. I inadvertently fall into age gap relationships and have so for decades. Younger women are just more fun, playful, less jaded, more excited about having adventures, and not stuck in their ways. 17 (legal here) to 27 is my range because of a desire to start a family without being rushed. There's plenty of hotties around but I'm looking past that for personality traits. Mostly, I look for intelligence, actual maturity, sanity/self-control, goals (or general areas of interest/aptitude/success potential), sense of humor, forward thinking, honesty/integrity/reliability, conscientiousness, badass resourcefulness, and reasonableness. To this end, I discard as many arbitrary, meaningless preferences as possible. I do have to check IDs carefully because there's so many fake ID jailbait brats out there who are very aggressive, good actresses, and look older than they are.
I'm 61. Been single 10 years. My age range is 50's and early 60s. But if some 30 year old thinks I'm hot, who am I to argue? Truthfully though, as to younger ones, when their points of reference are so different than yours, in terms of music, world events, childhood memories, favorite actors, etc, that you can't enjoy those conversations, then you might be happier cuddling up with your favorite porn site.
just because someone thinks you're hot , it doesn't mean they want to date you. If you're 61, chances are they want nothing to do with you. They just want to fuck. We are looking for men we can grow old with, not someone who will die mid way
@Arabella_Rose Hey, a man can dream, right? But as I was saying, I wouldn't want a relationship with her either. Just a fuck. But when you're looking for a soulmate, you have to some things in common. And that works best when you're about the same age. FYI, I've known at least a dozen solid relationships where the woman was 10 years older than the man. It's more common than you'd think.
there is a reason why overwhelming majority of married couples are 0-8 years apart. Its only old people who tend to obsess over huge age gaps. Young people don't like huge age gaps.
@viking463
Empirical evidence has also accumulated in support of women's preferences for older men, and as you might expect, the data often overlap with those data supporting men's preferences. As this sample of Conroy-Beam and Buss's (2019) review suggests:
Cross-culturally, women report wanting partners who are (on average) 3.5 years older than them.
In online dating, women make the first contact with older men at a greater than rate they do younger men.
Marriage records show that women are marrying men who are older than they are by about 3 years.
I have had a long term relationship with someone that was 11 years younger.
Of course I was younger back then as well.
I did notice that there were some differences in music, going out, friends.
I think at the ages that we were back then it made a slight issue at times.
Now I don't think it would be an issue.
I have also dated a few years older than I was and that didn't create any issues.
My current relationship we are 9 years apart without any problems caused by it.
I wouldn't like to be with someone under 20 because I think they're psychologically not fully developed yet and I would be taking advantage of them.. And most of the girls i like are in late 20s or in 30s... I don't know why but it's really hard finding cool girls close to my age...
I would prefer 40 to 50. It doesn't really matter to me very much. My husband is older than 50. But... If anything happens to us, I'll be looking for someone younger!
As a 20 yr old female I would date up to a 30 year old man and as young as 18 😭
When i was dating, i preferred dating guys my own age.
I'm 41.
I'm into women 30 to about 46 years old.
I have dated younger, in their 20's but it isn't realistic, it makes me feel old because I am compared to them.
Exaclty... when people say age doesn't matter is so messed up.
@midnightmoon05
Yes, I've learned my lesson about falling for these women in their 20's.
I end up with a broken heart when she meets a younger guy and I feel old when she ghosts me.
I don't answer their messages now and I also avoid older married women now too.
Older married women? or divorced women?
@midnightmoon05
Married ones.
I have a habit of getting involved with married women who are bored with their marriages.
They want attention, passion and somebody new who desires them.
I get pulled into their relationships and it gets me in trouble.
Now when married try to get closer with me, I try to run away.
Why do you think you have such habit?
@midnightmoon05
It's because I live a very modest life.
I am a single dad and I have a small house, I'm not looking to get married again right away or have more kids. When I try to date single women my age, lots of them they have certain goals that I'm not in a position to be a part of.
When I encounter married women, they already have their own house and kids and husband etc.
They are not looking for that from me.
They just want love and sex and attention.
Those are my favourite things to give.
I understand what you mean about single women having certain standards (marriage, kids, love, support for her and her offspring)
What about divorced women?
Married women… sounds like a lot of drama.
@midnightmoon05
I'm fine with divorced women, I just haven't been attracting them I guess?
It could be because a lot of them are out traveling or hooking up with guys on tinder, trying to make up for the single years they missed maybe?
I'm not sure, I just don't cross paths with them.
I get women who say that they're separated, but turn out to still be married. 😅
As long as it works for you and no one is getting hurt. At this point, only child/children matter.
I can’t catch up with the ever changing world out there.
@midnightmoon05
Me neither.
I'm honestly scared of the way people hook up on apps and have friends with benefits and stuff now.
I'm used to being married and attaching myself completely to one woman.
That's all I know.
I'm 28, I'd be willing to date anyone aged 18-40 although maturity could be an issue to go 10 years younger.
I'd date a woman between 20 and 34.
23 to 30 is ideal to me, and if I had to pick an age for her, it'd be 28 (born in '93).
I would casually go on a date anyone 18 to 45. I would date for a relationship any girl 18 to 25. I prefer to date 18 to 20.
you date 18 yr old girls, but you start the dumping by the time she turns 25
@Arabella_Rose are y'all the same person following me around saying the exact same thing? Smh. Having one gag account is bad enough its my guilty taking a shit time waster. You have must be 10 accounts... thats a lot of shitting. Damn.
if both parties are happy then why should there be a problem what the age gap is i know a guy who was 30 years older than his girl friend if you like what you see go get it don't hold back
My minimum age would be 30, maximum age would be 50
so 32 would fall in that age range? 🤔😉
31M here. My age range for dating is between 21-35 if I'm honest with myself.
17-24, women older than that usually have issues breaking bad habits and are much less coachable.
At your age, about 5-7 years. Past thirty, maybe up to ten, and past forty then maybe up to 15-20.
Dating sites are for losers. You'll see.
I'm in my 40s and I'll date 21-40. Just that I prefer younger than me.
I have given up hope of ever getting a girlfriend besides 54 is too old to start dating but if it was meant to be I would accept anyone who was desperate enough to date an ugly man like me!
If you are date some one special, I thing no age matter..
Youngest I would date is 16 (really 18) and oldest is 29. I like younger women.
My absolute minimum age would be 15 and my maximum would be 23. Anything older than that is just a massive downgrade.
9 is less than 15. are you a dumb cunt?
15 is legal over here and if it's legal it's fuckable
Then go marry a 9 year old you pedophile! At least I do everything legally.
@Ayanna240 in my opinion even dating a 18 year old as a 30 year old is not cool. Law don't decide my morals.
I'm OK with a very wide range. I'd say 18-70 it really depends on who/how they are.
I'm 36
Min 25, max 45, for anything serious.
Min 18 max 55 for anything shirt term.
This is only based on age, there is more criteria to be met.
Probably someone close to my age or at least 10 to 20 years older maximum.
I’m 25, and I think around 22-29ish would be a good range for me
Age has no meaning when you fall in love but if just for sex its up to you because older men has much more experience and last longer
@Yyyyu you are death wrong about it let me tell you the proof first of all de is a sickness not every men have it ok , young guy can last 20 second maybe to ejeculate but me i can last 35 minutes can you handle it , and i would know where to touch to stimulate you do you think young guys have that experience?
To me it wouldn't matter what the age is if we are both attracted to each other.
Minimum 24. Maximum 35.
I'm 23 so there to 40 maybe 45, older for certain exceptions
I am 22 so anything from 19 to 27 but my preference is 22
21 to 55 as a 38yr. age less important to me vs having similar interests
Minimum 18
Maximum 25
Minimum 22. Maximum early 40s. Like 43-45
20-60, but I'd prefer 28-38
24 sounds about right.
Minimum 18, maximum 62
I’ll go 2 years over and 5 years under.
I would go ten years either way,.
Minimum 22 maximum 26
I'd go 8 years younger and one year older.
24-45
Date would be say 26 to 31.
16-40
Anyone i could enjoy their company
18 to 40 odd
Minimum age: 20
