For me, being practical I wouldn’t go past six years for older. For younger I don’t really care for younger men, honestly the youngest I’d date would be someone at my current age. I’d want someone at the same stage in life as I am or at least someone going in a similar pace. I’m not ready for a family or to settle down so dating someone much older can speed up that process or put unnecessary pressure towards areas like wanting a family and stufffff. As for dating younger I’m just not usually attracted to younger men. Either way, I need us to be on the same page and it can be challenging for that to happen if the person is a lot younger or older.
Of course, I’m just stating this without truly knowing how I would react if I do happen to develop feelings for someone past six years or younger than my current age. You never know what you would do in those situations until you’re in them. My parents are 9 years apart 🤷🏽♀️ So I don’t think it’s something completely impractical for me to date someone much older, but it’s just not ideal or likely.
