What is your age range for dating? 🤔 😮

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."

I don't really even have an age range I guess, I've never met anyone I was interested in dating.

+/- 6 years.

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

Hypothetically, I don't have a limit st the high end, and the low end would be based more on the individual, but no younger than eighteen.

In reality, chances of finding someone in their twenties that would mesh well with for dating is unlikely, so thirty-ish is a more realistic lower age.

Upper end is less restricted for dating, but on a realistic level, I'm not going to enter a relationship with someone that's into their seventies just because of life span probability after that.

Luckily, I'm happily married, so I don't have to worry about that shit. But I've never cared about ages for dating, since dating is essentially "trying on" someone for a more committed relationship. It makes it worth interacting with people that are less likely to be compatible on a surface level, when going into it with the knowledge that it's probably going to peter out anyway, so the risks of it having a high price are lower.

Seriously, every relationship has difficulties. You can't predict what's going to arise over decades of being together. So limiting options by age ends up being arbitrary. While I never went looking for people far away from my age, anyone old enough and developed enough to understand what a relationship is was the determinant.

Now, on a practical level, once you're out in the work force, chances are that you'll be interacting with people from their mid-to-late twenties up to their sixties. So you aren't going to end up dating outside of that range often. To date someone you have to meet them, and communicate often enough to ask them for time outside of whatever scope you meet them in. So I never really dated outside that range at any point. But I wouldn't have rejected the possibility if it came up.

I dunno, I just don't see age gaps as a problem.

18-5000.

If you're 5001, I'm sorry but you're too old.

+/- 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.

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).

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.

n/a to n/a

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.

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.
