I’m 20 and probably wouldn’t date anyone over 39 or under 18-19. If i date someone who is 18, they also can’t be barely 18, they have to have been 18 for a while so birthday is important if they’re 18.
my current girlfriend is 19 x3

+/- 5 years (I am in my 30s).
And honestly (I will probably be killed for this) I have no problems with others having big age differences as long as the younger person is at least 21. It’s not like you are significantly more susceptible than later in your life and don’t know what you’re doing.
18-5000.
If you’re 5001, I’m sorry but you’re too old.
None, but I’m asexual/aromantic, so…
Whatever-whatever. I don’t have any strict age limit, if you care to make your case I’ll listen. I’m not that busy.
That being said I do have the most in common with women in their 30s, being in my 30s myself
[Error] to [Error]
(Don’t want a relationship. I’ve seen first hand how my parents are miserable with each other, not looking forward to that shit)
In theory maybe 10 years in either direction (I’m old) but in practice I’ve only had long term relationships with guys within a couple years of my age.
Lovers between times, for whatever reason I always ended up with younger guys, that seemed to be the people into me, but still never more than 10 years difference.
When I was your age? One or two years at most. Absolutely not anyone much older or younger, no.
+/- 6 years.
First step: Get permission from my wife to date.

single like a dollar bill, have it for free!
I’m 43 and if someone over 35 wants to date you it’s a pedophile
I feel like ±5 is appropriate until 35. After 35 you can’t get lower but you can get as higher as you want
if someone over 35 wants to date you it’s a pedophile
No…words have definitions for a reason. Pedophiles go after prepubescent children, not 20 year olds who are most certainly postpubes ent. It may not be ‘normal’ or viewed highly by people, but it’s not pedophilia.
Also it’s super weird to think 35 and 105 is cool to you, but 35 and 34 if no go territory.
a 20 yo is almost a teen, a 35 yo is someone that have lived and it’s not so easy to influence. A 35 with a 105 is weird but we all know both are aware of whats happening, if a 40 is after a 20 it’s because he likes them young and I don’t doubt it would go even lower.
Agree. Someone well into adulthood with a preference for dating people right at the border of adolescence is a massive red flag. It may be legal but flying as close to that line as society will allow suggests a more predatory nature.
This pedo muddying water shit is getting tiring.
Just because you don’t like something, it doesn’t make it a crime and it surely as fuck does it make it a pedo issue.
We already got enough pedo yearning for the wood chipper., j dont get why people waste their energy on Leonardo DiCaprio lol
The largest age gap I’ve been involved with was about 4 years. I was 31, she was 35, and we lasted about three months. Current partner and I are about 1.5 years apart.
If I were single and interested in dating, I think the lowest age I’d be willing to go is half my age plus 7. Someone at the absolute lowest end of that range would need to check a lot of other boxes for me to be willing. Most I’d be willing to go over my age is about 10 years.
But frankly, if I were single, I’d probably just stop the online dating thing and live my best life on my own, and if I met someone who was interested cool, and if not it ain’t the end of the world.
It depends entirely on the person. Some people are intelligent, self possessed adults by the time they’re 20, other people are immature shitbags well into their old age. Age is a poor metric for evaluating compatibility.

Wouldn’t want any 60 years olds creeping on 54s.

I don’t really even have an age range I guess, I’ve never met anyone I was interested in dating.
I’m 9 years older than my kid sister. We had an agreement, she doesn’t date anyone older than me and I don’t date anyone younger than her.
We both married people in that range.
Internet Creepieness Rule:
Your age / 2 + 7 is the low end limit.
This.
I strayed from this formula by 1 year once (I was 38, she was 25), and there was this strange generational gap where we just had completely different interests, we didn’t get each others’ references, and things fizzled pretty quickly.
Anyone else I’ve dated has been within this formula and we’ve gotten a long quite well. If they’re below this number for you, or you’re below this number for them, even by a little bit, it’ll get weird and you’ll run out of things to talk about pretty quickly.
I’m 38 and can’t imagine dating a 26 year old. The woman I’m currently seeing is my same age and it’s great.
Yeah, the farther away you get from your own age, the harder it gets to find a relationship that works for you. However, straying from that formula, even a little bit, seems to be a guaranteed breakdown point.
The woman I’m seeing now is three years younger than me, and we work incredibly well together. Gonna keep this one, I think 😝
If I were to date at the age of 42, I would not date anyone below the age of 39 or above the age of 46. I would prefer only a 4-year gap in either direction, as the number 4 feels right (very vibes and personal preference based reasoning).
