So I am curious. When looking for a relationships romantic, sexual, or just looking for a friend do you prefer someone younger or older? Maybe the same?
I tend to hang out with younger people but I also hang out with people my age as well as older people. I really don't care about people's ages I care more about what they bring to the table.
Age doesn't matter to me. I am more interested in personality. My husband and I are around the same age (I'm six months older than he), but his age is not what attracted me to him. It was his intellect, sense of humor, compassion, and ambition (just to name a few things.)
I've always been drawn to older men. Not sure why...
@SACatWalker I almost stated in my original post that I don't have daddy issues, lol. I have not heard any objections as my friends are mostly open minded. Some women are really into younger men and that's ok too. We're drawn to what we're drawn to.
Was married for 27 years and no significant other relationships since then, so mostly guessing.
I have always looked younger thus most bfs have been 8-25 years younger. I also need to meet someone who enjoys 420 and live music.
Connection is all that matters - age is just a number.
It's nice being around people that are close in age, but as long as there's a connection age doesn't matter.
"just friends"...I find friendships between young and old are not common here, not much enduring interaction...I was a teacher in China for 3 years, so many many young friends there...
First wife within a year or two, second wife 7 years younger...girlfriends(and playmates) have ranged from 30+ years younger to 5 years older...I have never felt a need to check ID
Hard to say, my wife was 11 years older, my last girlfriend was about 10 years younger.
No Vote. You give a Female that is a sexual, romantic and soul match. An Old Soul with a lot to live for. Comfortable were she is as an experienced Lady.
Around same age, but with a couple of years on me.
With regard to friendship, I have no age limit and my friends range from teenagers to 70+. For romantic relationships, I tend to stick to within seven years older or younger (we had an earlier discussion on this site about this and, for some reason, a lot of people seem to feel seven years either way is the ideal age range), but am willing to make allowances if there's a mutually-felt connection. I think that at least 99.9% of the time, however, my lower limit would be 30 as I can't imagine having much in common with someone younger than that.
When I was 19-20 it was “three above, three below” but the older I get the more that number expands. Now I’m almost 30 and the youngest i would probably date is 24 and the oldest I’m not sure of.
I don't think chronological age is a big factor, there needs to be a lot of rapport and connection. I think an age difference of > 30% or so makes that a little harder but it's not impossible.
I've date 11 years older to 13 years younger, the younger woman didn't get many of my 80s jokes but she was super smart and a great thinker. We dated for about 6 months and she had to move for her job, she's one of 2 I think would have been a possible life mate.
