Age preferences - what is yours?

I definitely believe you should atleast approach him. 23 to 27 is definitely a reasonable difference. Both of you would be at similar stages in life.

My age preference has essentially always been whatever my current age is through 2 years older.

However, that is just a "Perfect World Preference". In reality, if I met a guy who was a little older than that, then I probably wouldnt think twice as long as he isnt noticeably older.(Over 5 years is pushing it for me.) Naturally, I dont usually find myself attracted to men younger than me. I dont suddenly assume them to be less mature of anything, it just doesnt happen...

 

I'd go 5 years or so older, but not much more than that, and I absolutely would not date anyone under 20, unless there was some major reason to make an exception. The youngest I dated was 18. The oldest was 26. In my experience...younger guys are just way more immature, emotionally. I don't mind dating guys younger than me, but I don't like it either. I'd prefer to be with someone older than me. It's always been that way.

 

My ex was about 4 years older.
I'm 15 which makes it hard to date anyone with a 3 or more years difference seems 'bad'. But personally I don't see anything wrong dating someone that is 4 years older, even though legally I believe it is illegal, its not THAT much difference. Though I'm a little more hesitant going under, maybe a year or 2 younger?

 

I am 26, and I prefer to date in the range 24-30. They can be up to 5 years older than me, but not more than 2 years younger. Then they`re my sisters age, and that`s weird to me. But if they are too much older, then they`ll be in somewhat different stage in life, compared to me, so that wouldn`t work out well either.

 

I'm 22 and I prefer 25-35, I find most guys my age too immature and that they don't know what they want, I like older men but someone in his 40s might not be realistic long-term but if I find an amazing guy who happens to be in his 40s, I'm game

 

I'm 21 and my hypothetical range is about 19 to 25. I don't really want to go outside of that. I wouldn't immediately deny someone older than 25 but I would be very reluctant; on the other hand I would immediately deny someone 18 or younger. My absolute ideal partner age would be 21: the same as me.

However another thing that I'm pretty certain I want is that they have to be finished with their education - I'm very much over that stage of life and having my partner still in it wouldn't be ideal for me. Maybe if they were close to finishing, or it was part-time, but otherwise I don't want to have to deal with that sort of thing any more.

 

I want between 15-19. I hate hairy men. :yuck:

 

well i do not have any age preference, i do not go with people who are 5 years above my age, below my age i go with all particularly above age 30

 

We've had this thread before... basically a majority of people, guys or girls, are happy to date someone a fair bit older but aren't happy with someone considerably younger. That could be a stigma thing, idk.

 

I do like older guys say 30+ but I wouldn't turn down a younger guy like 16+ if they were hot .

 

Someone around my own age. The younger ones understandably get bored and don't hang around very long. There aren't that many older ones left anymore. :roflmao:

 

After my past experiences I'm shooting for a mature 30+ from now on. I am to the point in my life that I want stability; not an emotional teen style romance. I've had my fill of "I'm sorry, but I need to discover myself!" and "You're so nice that we can't be together!" style of logic/lack-of-logic. That and I simply do not have the energy to keep up with the younger crowd anymore.

 

I'd say from my age to at most 10 years older. Anymore than 10 years difference would have to be an exception. I don't feel comfortable dating someone younger than me, since it's weird for me and I feel old enough as is. :lol:

 

I LOVE men in their 40's

 

Hmm.. My age preference is from around 19 to 26.

 

My ideal is between 20 and 26. Roughly three years in both directions. My hard limit is between 19 and 32 using the famous "divide by 2 and add 7" rule.

 

Well I am turning 22 in a few weeks. The guy I am with is 18 and a freshman in college.... I thought he was my age when we started dating. Oops. He even had the nerve to call me a daddy! Normally I prefer 20-30. Even then early 30's is not a big deal to me.

 

My preference would be to be younger but that won't happen so I live with it. Oh you mean in a partner is really doesn't matter. If we have things in common and a heart for each other the age doesn't matter.My partner is the same age as I am . It works but so do other ages. Hugs and love
