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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
