How old are you and what age would you prefer to date?

43 comments

1. 29, and I only want to date someone who is exactly 429 days younger than myself.

2. 42, married but if I were single I’d date +/- 10 years my age as long as we have things in common and good chemistry.

3. 20.

   18 to 24.

4. Almost 24, prefer 21 to 25

5. 29.

   25-35

6. 35. Don’t want to date anyone!

7. 28 and I would go from 26 to 33.

8. I’m 30, I prefer between 23-30

9. 37 and when I was single until last summer, my preferences were 32-41.

10. 33 and wouldnt touch anything younger then 30. Too much drama surrounds them.

11. 35.

    I couldn’t see dating below mid twenties. I’d have no issues dating a woman in her 40s either.

12. 16 and the age I would prefer to date is the age where I am ready. Relationships are a commitment and I don’t think I am ready for one

13. I’m 22 and would prefer to date the same

14. 36

    30 to 40s

15. 33M.

    My age range is 26-35

16. 25 male. 20-25.

17. I was 23 and just escaping from a codependency trap my ex set for me. I decided I wouldn’t date anyone older and nobody more than a year younger than me. Two weeks later I met the woman who’s still sharing my life 26 years later and she was 7 years younger than me (it’s legal here, I’ve had the conversation, drop it)

    The more barriers you set, and the more rigidly you stick to them, the more opportunities you miss.

18. 20 i think 20-25 is the highest I’ll go for now

19. i just turned 27
    27-34

20. 33 and I’d say between 28 and 38

21. In my mid to late 30s, my preference would be 30+ but I’d go as low as late 20s if our lifestyle preferences matched up enough. I’m married so it doesn’t really matter

22. Almost 30, my wife is 48, but I think I won’t go higher than difference than that

23. About to be 30, I would date in the range of 25 to 40.

24. 26, and anywhere between 24-32

25. I’m 36 and I’m happily single. But if I were to date someone, if they were 30 (and I think that is pushing it) – 40ish.

26. 33, 25-35.

27. 28, so I would go as low as 24, 23 pushing it and as for older women, 40 at the limit.

28. I’m 39. My ideal age range would be 35-43, but would be willing to go down to late 20s or up to late 40s if we had truly amazing chemistry.

29. I’m 31 and usually prefer 24-35 range.

30. 21, I greatly prefer women older than me. 28-38.

31. I am in my late 20s, and I prefer to date men who 5-7 years older than me, and women around my age or older. Maybe about 10 years older

32. 29, 5 years younger to 5 years older.

33. 35 and 25 to 40.

34. You guys are dating?

35. 24, I would like to date someone older than me because below my age range is hard to find a keeper

36. 16 and would date 16-17 maybe 15

37. 24 myself and ~22-30. I’ve went through so much shit in my late teens and early twenties (debt, depression, homelessness etc.) that i cant deal with how immature a lot of the “just started uni, living on parents dime” crowd generally are.

38. 25. The youngest I’d date is 5 years younger. The oldest is 3 years older

39. 27

    23-32

40. 26

    21-33

41. I’m 36. Ideally would date someone between 28 and 41.

42. I wish these kinds of questions were asked in more dating centric subs. It seems like this is 75% of /r/askmen

43. Early 30s, I’d date early 20s and up
