Dating age range

[InbetweenDreams]

Personally when I was looking for someone I looked at the age group of 20-35
im 26, so plus 9 years to minus 6. Someone in their teens is MOST LIKELY immature, certainly not always the case but its common enough I try not to go there . I personally would rather a bit older and mature oppose to younger and annoying.

I made the mistake a few years ago to go on a date, sorta, or whatever the hell it was with someone who was 18. They basically wanted me to take them to the ABC store and drink with them. So yeah, if they aren't old enough to drink (21 in the US for those who might not know) definitely too young. Plus 100% of the time they're immature, I don't care what they say. "I'm mature for my age!" Yeah, sure whatever lol

So pretty much if they're not around 24-25 they're typically too immature, etc. No that's not always the case, you do have to odd ones who do have a good head on their shoulders....just don't expect it

Anyway, on the flip side I'd say 35 would be the max for the most part, for me anyway....Exceptions yes, basically I just have to find them attractive and there have been men who were 50 that I thought were pleasing to the eyes, but that's atypical. About as atypical as finding someone who I think is great. Hell if I met two guys I really really liked in one year I would go rush to the Casino because it must be my lucky year lol

From 25 to mid-50s is my comfort range, within which age holds no importance to me.

There are younger guys who are on a more mature side (but let's not confuse ''mature'' with ''attractive'' either), but it is a concern to me, and I'd rather not deal with all that unless I have a strong enough reason to put up with it. In addition, I don't really feel that we have a common ground, at least not significantly enough, and I am mainly interested in men with whom I do have that.

On the other end, men continue to be attractive well into their 50s. That's also as far as my first hand experience has gone. Beyond that age I start approaching my limits.

6 years, but preferably closer to my age.


It's unusual for couples to be over 5 years apart here, and if that's so, it's typically an older male and younger woman.


I'm so strict in my ways, I will rarely make an exception. It's just how I was raised

In theory I have an age range but it's become very flexible. I seem to make exceptions easily. No one younger than 20 No one older than 35

But I slept with a 45 year old Belgian because I really liked the guy. He was clever and a sweetheart with a deliciously sarcastic, black and bitter humour.
(and it turned out that he was ripped for his age, nice middle-aged abs. Not that I knew that before.)

And I slept with a 19 year old.... which I regret. It wasn't that fun and now I feel like a cradle robbing perv.

Judge your suitors not by the numbers attached to them but by the contents of their hearts, minds and trousers

I wouldn't say that age is of primary importance, if I had to give numbers I'd say between 20 - 40 probably. But I think compatability is so much more important. Not necessarily what you have in common but how you complement each other as a couple. And of course wanting the same things out of life helps too.

I do too think compatibility is by far most important, but I still think one should be attracted to someone, unless you're not going to be sexually active...
