Preferred Age Range ( Archived) (122)

Jun 18, 2014 8:48 PM CST Preferred Age Range
The dating of younger/older partners had received some attention on here lately (but mostly in troll bait posts). So, in all honesty what is your preferred age range.

No baiting, no judgements - if u like older say so, if not say so if you like younger partners, or no- do you have a preference? How important id the preference to you?

My preference is someone where there is a mutual attraction, and around my same age, but I will see older or younger men if all the right ingredients for compatibility are thereheart wings teddybear

I have 40-58 as my date range, but I truly am looking for someone closer to my age. I just have the younger range, as that seems to be who contacts me/asks me out more???
I have had a few dates w/ a gent my age and they've gone pretty good.I have also had some dates w/ a few younger men. It truly does depend on the person though, as the maturity level differes.

I agree! To me, have that compatibility and spark of attraction is very important...found out some time ago that I cannot date just for the sake of saying I have a date...there;s gotta be that magnetic pull :)hug

If I were looking, I'd look for as close to my own age as possible (give or take 3 years, no more). If push came to shove with a greater age difference, I'd go with younger rather than older (i.e. -6, but not +6). Anything outside that, it's a no-go.

I have read the various posts on the topic and (maybe erroneously) have the impression that it's not pc to set limits, but that's what works for me. Fortunately we have the freedom to choose what suits us individually.

yes N, that is what I think also ...the FREEDOM to set our own preferences. I don;t think anyone should be made to feel unworthy because of their preference among adults here....when people fall in love I doubt they are thinking much about preferences on some profile somewhere lollaugh wave

wave I agree with you. It is a bit of a mystery why the laundry list goes out the window when one falls for someone laugh It's a bit like God and insurance companies: you never know what you're going to get laugh

Hello Felix,
I would say I don' t have a preference for older or younger, the ingredients like you mentioned are way more important for me. At 38 years old, turning 39 in a little while I have 30-50 as the age range on my profile. I feel the closer to my age the better though, but once again the ingredients.
Interesting though if I think back to when I was 30. Then I didn' t go more than 3-4 years either way. I wonder if something changed in me or if it' s just that I am older. Probably the latter, no need to over analyze it.laugh

right. I find often as soon as I try to set something in stone an "exception" immediately pops up...lol

IDK, I think the older we get the less significant age differences become to some degree. Remember 17....a 3 year age differnce would be close to shocking...but at 38 or even 28 , 3 years is practically the same age - jmho

Absolutely hun! I so agree!! And a "spark" just doesn't need to be in the physical sense for me....it's a combination of many things.
I usually go with my heart & not my head! And I'll admit, I'm not always right with my choices because of that!

I like to date close to my own age and up to 5 years older.

It's just a preference I have.

I've never dated younger than myself. The exception was my children's Dad who was a year younger.
