Depends, case by case.

Being 40 and going for an 18 year old with major daddy issues (using your age to fulfill a perverted adult male figure in the 18yo's life) is disgusting.

If you're 30 and going with a 50-60yo......well the heart wants what the heart wants.

It does to me. She'd have to be at least 25 and older for me. I don't mind she is older then me but that is the line. If it is someone else, then I don't bother too much with it. Seeing a grown man about 30 going for an 18 or 19 year old is wrong IMO.

@RemixGeneralFishy I agree

Age always matters to some extent. Keep in mind age does not equal maturity and vice versa. And experience is important in terms of gauging situations, but you can meet some inexperienced mature gems and experienced immature asses. The latter is what you want to avoid in all scenarios.

Examples of immature asses I know:

- 40 year old male, feels entitled to 20 year old females, has been through 1 marriage, has pretty poor character and brags about sleeping with virgins (despite not having sex in years), in the 1 year I've known him and have tried to distance myself from him, he's dated 0 people including 0 people in their 20s, he spends a lot of time putting up pictures of how great a guy he is on social media.

- 30 year old female, physically repulsive (and heavily overweight), feels entitled to date millionaires, same character as above, spreads rumors and gossips about guys who reject her and girls she sees as competition (in the few years I've known her and also have tried to distance myself from her she's dated 0 people, including 0 millionaires)

Examples of older gems I know:

- 30 year old female had a rough childhood, postponed dating while pursuing a career in medicine, stands up for bullied victims, volunteers with homeless kids

- 40 year old male, spent most of his 20/30's working where there were few, or no women, good character has stuck by the side of dying cancer patients and families as part of his volunteer work

I've noticed the common theme in the older turds is that they spend a lot of time working on their image via talk and social media posts and with the ones who are genuinely gems, they spend most of their time DOING things that would give them a good image if they spent an equivalent amount of time talking or posting about it.

Sorry that my "older" version of women are the ones in their 30s, those are just the ones i know, I am sure more exist that are older. Anyone of any age (or sex), if married and on the prowl are by definition asses and no where near "gems" no matter what story they have, including "the paperwork for divorce is in process"

You'd date older, but would you date younger?

Did you make another topic about age issue relationships?

@LadyNeptune Yes, the men have to be in their 20's.

@FirstDecanTaurianWomen0428

No someone else probably already made this topic

When two consenting adults decide to have a relationship it's between them and has nothing to do with the rest of us.

Age really is just a number. Maturity doesn't always come with increased years.

For God sake….

You want dating not a marriage…right?! You both are after the satisfactory results “either one or several days and nights later”, who the fuck cares about ages..??

Those are numbers through the other fucking people minds and eyes eg not even yours! Do you live by the other people standards..?

Get on with it before you loose and miss another one of the could- have-been- nice life experiences.

5 years up or down. No more than that in either direction

Younger is harder for me for some reason, but older no big deal to me at all.

Only been with guys 1 year older, my age, and 3 years younger..

So I would say I'm most comfortable with as much as a 3 year difference older or younger. I don't like them too young and too much older than I am. I remember having this discussion with my Aqua friend. She liked our boss at the time who was 12 years older than us. Lol And I was so not into that. That was a while ago; she is with someone about 5 years older than her now.

To me it matters.

Never younger. I like older men, 10 years is good enough to draw the line. Maybe 14... maximum.
