What age would you prefer your partner to be in relation to your age?

[RyanEC]

Personally I would prefer a girl in her early or mid 20s because a girl in her early 30s would need to think about children soon while I’m not ready to have children.

Someone my age. (Within 5 years)

Someone older. (over 5 years older.)

Someone younger. (over 5 years younger)

[ShellyB]

I think the answer to this can change as you get older, like in my case, I would have no problem dating a 35yo guy but five years ago, I would not have wanted to date a 30yo if that makes sense. I think the gap in years becomes less important as you get older. Right now I guess I would say I would want to date a guy anywhere from my age to my age plus ten years. In the future I would be OK with an even larger age gap. I would not want to date a guy younger than me. My fiance is two years older than me. JMO!

[Sweetsurprize]

Well I'm already in a relationship. It's not fair that guys want someone younger, they aren't always the most matured! My partner currently is my same age. He doesn't mind having biological children as well as he is open to foster care or adoption. It takes MATURITY to not be so discriminatory. Plus, what would you really have in common with someone that age? ! They can also be looking out for someone better or more in their league which can put you at a disadvantage. Girls that age / women that age aren't really looking to settle down either and want to sleep around so make sure it's a woman you ACTUALLY may have in common with. Then again, I've seen women that age want to settle down too. Even if finances aren't in order. People that age and even people in their thirties can be in financial bad straits too. The rich is deemed to stay rich in the 1% while the poor and working class/middle class you can bet will always struggle!

I was 30 when I married my ex wife that was 42. We were married 18 years. I got along fairly well with her two adult children because I was better able to relate.


I did have to pay for the mistakes of her ex husband and I learned how to handle her issues.


Too me marrying up as I did taught me a lot. I just had wished she appreciated my willingness to give of myself and wished she had learned the lessons of picking her battles. I did my best to treat her right, but what she sacrificed from her previous marriage; she made sure not to let that happen again. I gave her plenty of leeway because of that.


The only mistake I made was marrying her too soon after dating. I should have allowed more time to figure her out.


But I do not regret those 18 years. They were VERY educational.


What doesn’t kill us; makes us stronger.

[Peter_Penetrator]

The benefit to age gap relationships is the maturity you gain from the discovery of the older partners past mistakes. It opens your eyes to what lies ahead for yourself and what to avoid. The baggage they carry hurts them but will help you the most.

So I am all for older/younger relationships. I personally don’t have children, but I can offer someone a bit of a mentorship.

This is for all the critics and bitter ex’s: The new, younger partner has yet to be tainted by the realities of the many marriages that go sour over time and offer a breath of fresh air to the older of the two. MALE or FEMALE alike. It isn’t about sex for ALL men. And it sure isn’t one of those damn pedo type accusations.

When it comes to the age gaps; it is much easier to enter into those relationships when either one of those partners have no ADULT aged children.

I can understand from the standpoint of those with ADULT children not easily accepting such an arrangement.

[Peter_Penetrator]

The real sicko pedos are the fathers that have wives their own age, are able to hide behind that, and also are able to hide their homosexual urges because they can act on those urges from the confines of that idealistic house with the white picket fence.

[Avicenna]

I prefer to date women in their 30s, but I mostly date women of other ages.

[Apple1996]

Same age or younger is fine. Would never go older

[OlderAndWiser]

I am 68 years old. My fiancee is 59 years old. Age is not an issue for us.

[Pinay_ako]

Someone who won’t look at my age but the woman that I am and as long as they’re over 35 🤣

[menina]

I would prefer someone around my age. Recently I became more open to the idea of dating someone younger, but not too young. I could date a guy in his late 20's.

But I wouldn't date a man 10 years older than me. I wouldn't be ready for that.

[pass_the_celery98]

Some girls say that but if a guy is 10,11,12 years older and you spent months to a few years looking for 1 genuine guy who has all the characteristics you want — handsome, in shape, stable, acts like a man and not a man-child, considerate, healthy, smart, hard working, etc. I’m sure you’ll give that guy who maybe 40 and stable with his own house/ or condo, car and job rather then dudes in their late 20s or early 30s looking for sex and don’t have their life together. Especially if a guy who’s older than you doesn’t look his age.

[menina]

@pass_the_celery98 I know what you mean and you're not wrong. I can only speak for myself. But I'm not ready to date a 40 year old. It would be a disaster for me and for him too. We both would regret it.

[pass_the_celery98]

You shouldn’t assume though, if he’s willing to work then that’s half of it right there. I think younger women assume if he’s older he’s going to be a controlling know it all. But women and girls also tell guys how to dress, who to hang around with, they do it so he looks sharp or he’s not with a bad influence of dudes. Every relationship requires chemistry and compromise. It’s different if you’re 30 and he’s 70.

[menina]

@pass_the_celery98 I agree with you. But it's not about being controlling, a man in his 30's or even younger than me can be controlling. The thing is that I don't have what it takes to date a 40 year old. He would be expecting things from me that I can't give him. Not to mention that I don't look 30.

[pass_the_celery98]

What if he was laid back and chill? He cooked and cleaned, and he wasn’t expecting the world from you like some sad puppy dog. Of course, a relationship should mean something where both people give.

[menina]

@pass_the_celery98 He sounds like a dream, but I still wouldn't be with him. Sure, both people give.
But there's something I would be unable to give him and he would be expecting it.

[pass_the_celery98]

Sex? Lol

[menina]

@pass_the_celery98 Yes

[Sweetsurprize]

@pass_the_celery98 I tried dating a 40 year old in 2015 when I was 31. He was already divorced with a 7 year old by that time. However, I was horny and desparate. Needless to say that didn't work out and he's now an ex.

I always WANTED his first child to come out of MY body and his first marriage too. Call it whatever you want, it's still what I wanted. ... Then I got lucky and found someone MY age that didn't have any of that sad baggage. Lucky me!

[pass_the_celery98]

@Sweetsurprize Listen everyone's story is different -- but I don't pursue girls because I feel horny, I don't think a 10 year age gap is a big deal. People assume if a guy is now a young man is just pursuing young women 10 years younger than him is because he's a prowler, meanwhile if a woman is middle aged and she's going after young men she's a cougar -- the pronouns, the narratives and terms need to stop. I'm cool with girls having their own preference but you shouldn't call his situation sad baggage. I may not agree with every girl I have dealt with but I don't want to ridicule others behind their back. Be happy that God blessed but don't speak ill of others.

[Sweetsurprize]

@pass_the_celery98 You cannot force me to like a man with baggage and it IS bagage that he had! How would you feel if your partner already experienced a lot of things you didn't get to do or give him! You'd feel INADEQUATE! ... And sometimes I don't believe in God seeing as how the world is so messed up. He even "blesses" people who don't deserve children to get them! Not talking about abuse but just people who are ugly (both physically and personality wise) and mean, etc. I can have preferences if I want that is my call! Got it? ! Thanks!

Also, for me, I realized it wasn't as bad an 8 year age gap but still, like said. You cannot FORCE me to be with someone with BAGGAGE as well as a big age gap. Age gaps are ANOTHER THING that is personal!

[Sweetsurprize]

@pass_the_celery98 And you're only 29 so no not really sure if you know what you are talking about. Some 29 year olds unfortunately look 49 while some 49 year olds look 30. So it really depends. I think people would only say that someone younger is with a DOM (a DIRTY OLD MAN) if he LOOKS it. But over all, you can't really force someone to be or not be with someone that's just not something within your control! People have their likes/dislikes personal preferences, etc! I hope you understand! I'd have more things in common with someone MY age instead of someone ten years or more (even 8 years or more, like my ex) age disparity.

[Sweetsurprize]

@pass_the_celery98 Oh and one more thing. How was his son a blessing to him? I mean the ex-wife basically DIVORCED him soon after their baby was born so he didn't really get to see Carlo all that much. She, the woman was just lucky that she was young enough (she married young at 22 while he was 29), and healthy enough to have a successful pregnancy and cute baby. It's all biology really, nothing really devine about it. ..! She just was smart/wise enough to not waste her eggs and be able to manipulate my unknowing ex into marriage and a baby!

[Anonymous]

OF COURSEEE THE PEDO MEN ANSWER THAT THEY WANT YOUNGER 🤡🤡🤡

🤮🤮🤮🤮

Are most men secretly PEDOS because they search for teen in XXX?

[Kaamraj]

There have been several studies on this topic, women prefer men a bit older than them, while men irrespective of age prefer a woman in her early to mid 20s, that is when she has the most sexual mean value (SMV). As long as both parties are above the age of consent, it's fine. But I would always want a woman a decade younger than me.

[Berethor]

Young women are superior, so I am going to be honest and vote for young women. :)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypergamy#Research

[Cuminginside]

The most fertile and the most ambitious. Interesting indeed.

[Biancam13]

I don't care as long as they have the maturity/values/personality I want. I wouldn't date younger than 21 though.

[MysticAngel5000]

I wouldn't even look at someone under 21. I don't want to consider dating/sleeping with anyone that's under 25. As for being older than me, I'd prefer someone under 50.

[andreasderjuengere]

The more I advance myself (in age), the more I have the impression that my age-mates (sic!) ( :D ) hurry to feel ''old''.

In the interest of a healthy sex life the gap opens wider and wider.

[Anemone978]

I like my partner to be my own age but I have to admit those 20 somethings are pretty hot lol

[ShesRad80]

doesn't matter to me if younger or older by 5 years, as long as we have communication, and chemistry and like being together

[Anonymous]

When I was younger I wanted someone my age or a couple years older. To me it felt wrong to date younger. Now that I’m 30 and still not married I prefer younger. The reason being is I’d like a family someday and it’s easier for younger women to get pregnant.

[Adaeva]

Typically I date boys my age or 1 older. However, occasionally I will date a boy one year younger or two years older.

[silvermoon84]

Someone my age (late 30’s/early 40’s), but I would date younger and older. No younger than 30, no older than 50.

[LiamJHayden]

Generally over five years older. My parents were older when I was born, so their friends' kids were always older than I was, and when I was 7 or 8 I was constantly around teens. It is what I grew accustomed to and feel most comfortable around.

[Sasha0426]

I’m confused. You want your partner to be younger than 30 so she has a better chance getting pregnant, which I get. But, YOU’RE not ready to have kids? Am I missing something?

[RyanEC]

It’s not that she has a better chance it’s because she has more time, I could wait a few years.

[driven159]

my wife is 25 years younger than me and we have been married for 12 years together for 15 so age is no big deal

[nastyb]

Im pretty sure your wife doesn't even have a sex life being married to a senior citizen

[driven159]

@nastyb you don't know me so you would say something like that, but I am the best lover she ever had and have no idea of slowing down and there is more to making love then just sticking a dick in a hole

[nastyb]

@driven159

Often times women aren't happy being married to old men. They usually only want to be with old senior citizens for money

[driven159]

@nastyb I make her work, so she has her own money she works part time to not make her get too lazy and have some income to take care of herself if I kick the bucket, we own are own are two cars are boat and have enough money to get by on and still have some left over

[nastyb]

@driven159

I"m pretty sure she married you for money cuz she can't live a financially good life on her own. nobody is attracted to senior citizens.

[Avicenna]

@nastyb: You are a nasty piece of work indeed. You ought to be more worried about yourself than speculating about others.

I haven't heard the term "senior citizen" used since the late 1980s.

[nastyb]

@Avicenna

who wants to be married to an old grandpa who can't fuck? there's gotta be something wrong with you if you find senior citizens sexy

[Avicenna]

@nastyb: It's beyond rude of you to post garbage like that. You have your preferences, others have theirs. And you don't know what anyone on here looks like, their physical health, or what they are like in rea life.

[nastyb]

@Avicenna

I'm not being rude. Just being honest. You're just offended by the honest truth. Honest people will always be real.

[Avicenna]

@nastyb: You need go see a therapist because you show some serious signs of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. You're not "being honest", you're being rude and arrogant.

[stepyo99]

As a general preference, definitely younger, but it's not a deal breaker if she's close to my age.

[DizzyDesii]

Preferably same age. Otherwise, 1-3 year age gap

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Close to my age but a little bit older. Highest I'd go is 30 years. old but that's it.

[Red-Blaze]

Someone my age with close to the same life exprince length, so they are in the same wave length

[asphaltrhymes]

If not my age, then a woman around 22+ 😁😁😁👀👀👀

[Dinklex3]

Same age. No more than 2 years younger, no older than 33.

[4ngelic]

1 year younger to 2 years older, golden range

[RavVid]

over 5 years younger is very functional. The guy can be more established then.

[CallMeTy21]

10 years is the biggest age gap I think is okay before it becomes weird. Within 5 or 6 years in either direction is probably ideal.

Personally I prefer older women. They are usually more mature and know what they want.

[nastyb]

Im 27. I prefer nothing more than 10 years older and nothing more than 3 years younger

[CuriousMufuxka]

Much younger like late 20's. Past the stage of being impressionable, but still young enough to not totally hate men yet. Exceptions aside of course.

[Jazzy54]

He can either be up to six years younger, but no more than 15 years older.

[AngryCarl2]

Back when I was dating I would have said my age, within 8 years. Now they have to be breathing.

[AdithyaR]

Same as my age but 5 years apart is too much.
The most I'm willing is one year younger or older.

[Christoff92]

I prefer younger but someone who ain't thinking of family and marriage yet.

[Blueeyes81]

Same age is preferable but 35-45 would work.

[Tstrbrainer]

Preferably early 20s, if it's a serious relationship

[Anonymous]

25. Doesn't matter how old I am, so whatever the gap happens to be.

[Anonymous]

He is 27 years older than me and it's a good thing, it means he's so much smarter than me

[justabuddy]

I will usually focus more on other traits that are important for a healthy relationship than age.

[fonduegirl]

Somebody my age or younger.

[Simslover92]

Someone around my age.

[petitedollbabee]
