Do you personally consider age when dating someone? Like only dating someone younger/older/the same exact age?

Disclaimer: Obviously when I say consider age I mean in appropriate way. Yes, age is only a number but that only goes for if both underage parties are about the same age or if you're and adult and your partner is 18+. I shouldn't have to say this, but I've been on here long enough to know that someone will try to twist my words into something they're not.
Anyways- Does it matter to you if the person is the same age, older than you, or younger than you or no?
For me I tend to date people who are either the same age of me maybe within a year young or people who are older (3-7 years). It's not that I would never consider dating someone younger than me within reason but most younger guys I know tend to either be too immature or they look down on me because of the fact that I look younger and treat me like a child so I tend to kind of stay away from guys who are more than a year younger than me.

My thoughts on this have changed over time. Now an age gap up or down isn't necessarily a big deal....within reason obviously. Personality and connection are more important.

I don't care about age at all. Its the connection I pay attention to. But keeping that in mind... guys my age tend to be immature and self centered. So I do tend to date older than me.

But if my dad says "hey, didn't we play college baseball together?" I know I'm pushing the limit!

THAT WAS A JOKE!!!!
Most girls I date had been older , like an year or two. Never bothered me or them. Instead, I would call them sis to piss them off once in a while.

The reason they are older because I merit-skipped two years in high school.

I wouldn't date much younger, no need for me to fuck their life up. Prolly not much older, because there is a big difference between 51 and 61 and 71, etc...
Firstly Spleen
Secondly I would be hard pressed to date someone 20 years younger. And doubt I would find that many interested either

I’m sick of dating younger guys. My favorite ex was 6 years older than me and that’s what I’m going to look for from now on.

I like to think I consider experience first, perspective second. And of course attraction

btw the older you get the less significant a few years becomes in a relatnsp.

Yes. It's important to me that I'm with someone close to me in age. I'm not really attracted to people much older (or younger) than me. We need to be at similar points in our life so I can relate to them and vice versa.

Really doesn’t matter to me. Over the journey I’ve dated older and younger. Personality and chemistry are more important
Slightly older or younger it doesn’t matter and my personal favourite is dating someone the same age.

I don't care about age. Not so much anyway.
