As a man, what’s the youngest age you’d date if given the chance?

    I need someone who is mentally at a similar maturity to me, given that I’m in my late 20s that means someone who’s probably no younger than 24ish. Now for a hookup, 20 or so would probably be fine, anything younger and I’d feel weird.

    As a 29 year old woman, i find myself more and more attracted to men in their late 30s-40s. Men really do get better with age, that being said……… 18-25 year old boys can fuck for hours and hours and i have a hard time saying no to them 🙈

      As a man nearing 50 I can definitely say that age has little to do with how long someone can fuck, but more importantly length of sexual contact has little correlation to satisfaction.

      Quality definitely reigns supreme and those that are younger do not have this. I will admit though a large portion of sexuality is just in your head. So if you think younger equals better then it will be a self fulfilling prophecy.

    Meaningless question without clarifying if “date” means “meeting someone I might partner with for life” or “fuck”.

    Whatever is socially acceptable in the local community.

    Dating is about finding a good partner. For men this is brining strong genes and resources demonstrated over a lifetime, for women this is fertility and health. People will make the best of whatever options they have

        Which fine for people who are heteronormative and fit into gender stereotypes as long as they aren’t preventing those who aren’t from dating as they choose

    A friend of mine introduced the “creepiness rule”:

    if ((age_of_older_partner / 2) + 7 > age_of_younger_partner) {
       let creepy = true;
    }
    

    I think it is a pretty good approximation. Edit: ‘+7’, not ‘-7’

    I’m a 32 year old guy. When I had dating apps I had my age range set from 26-56.

    I know I could legally date an 18 year old but those people are like children to me. Just listening to them speak you can feel the lack of life experience and lack self confidence or something. I think you all will understand what I’m trying to say there lol.

    As for loving the milfs/gilfs I don’t mind me an older woman, but I feel anything past 56 and we will be at a significantly different point in our lives.

    I don’t have strict boundaries though. If I met someone a little outside those limits and I was hitting it off I would have no problem ignoring it.

    I don’t like to judge people until after I meet them. But Irresponsible people really grinds my gears, and the younger are generally worse in that regard.

    Myage -10 is usually good enough. Which makes them later half of 20s. It’s not a hard limit, and I’ll hear your case if you care you make it.

    Early 30s. But that’s pushing it.

    I don’t pay attention to pop culture/media, and it’s very unlikely that I’d have a lot of cultural moments in common with someone that was younger than their early 30s. OTOH, I’m considered fairly extreme for my age on a number of points, so it’s more likely that I’d be complementary to someone that’s younger (i.e., I don’t act my age).

    This is one of those subjects I’ve hard set very early in my life. No matter what, anything below or above two years of age is off limits.

      As you age that range can expand without being creepy. Someone 70 years old might find it very difficult to stick within a 2 year range.

      The “half your age plus seven” rule might be a bit more universal.
