+/- 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.
I've always dated around +- 3-4 years. I usually didn't get along with men who were a lot older or younger. My husband is one year and four month younger.
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
First step: Get permission from my wife to date.
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.
That is a strange way to say she's 57...
But anyway! Range varies wildly with age. 6 years is something you at least ponder at age 25, but will feel like "same age" around 50.
My feeling based on what people seem to at least not care to even gossip lightly about: max 1 year at age 15. 5 years at 40. 10 years at age 60+.
Wider ranges are not problematic, but gets into at least "interesting to talk about". E.g. "They are 33 and 40! Huh! Good for them."
Your current girlfriend is 57?
Iโm pretty sure itโs supposed to be a little face guy. Like this :) or this :O
x3 is like a dead cat face I think
I am aware. It was a joke.
oh, oops.
3 girlfriends, each one is 19.
Or something went wrong and they somehow seduced an entire nursery.
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.
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 is the correct answer. For me, it's about 5 years in either direction.
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.
Iโm 38 and canโt imagine dating a 26 year old. The woman Iโm currently seeing is my same age and itโs 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 ๐
