Do you prefer older or younger romatic partners?

KatyO83 · 41-45, F

Either I've had bfs 20 years older and 10 years younger

helenS · 36-40, F

@KatyO83 I don't think I could learn anything from my male peers. I can learn a lot from older men though. Maybe I could teach younger men, I don't know. Anyway I stay away from men of my own age.

KatyO83 · 41-45, F

@helenS my latest bf is actually only a couple of years older than me. He's so far so good although maybe I'm teaching him more than I'm learning from him.

@KatyO83 Hello way over there across the pond 😉

3Dogmatic · 46-50, M

Either/or. Attraction for me is a very individual thing.

laurieluvsit · 26-30, F

I was brought up to some extent by much older men so I have a special fondness for them but I have been with much younger guys too.

Ducky · 31-35, F

I can’t say I have an age preference. Funnily enough, though, both of my recent partners are the same age as me.

helenS · 36-40, F

Definitely older. I'd have a hard time finding one of my peers attractive.

novaguy2u · 70-79, M

@helenS Really? I find that hard to believe.

helenS · 36-40, F

@novaguy2u Honest, true! I'm typically attracted to men who are ~15 years older, and the age gap was even larger when I was younger.
... and no, I don't think I have any "daddy issues" 😏

novaguy2u · 70-79, M

@helenS I can understand, to a point. I too was attracted to much older women when younger, but as I got older the objects of attraction grew closer to that of my own age. When in your age group I still drifted towards ladies some years older than me, but nonetheless found women in my age bracket attractive, and no, I wouldn't have guessed at "daddy issues", that tends to occur in much younger women.

Magenta · F

Older, but at my age they'd be near the grave. 😄 Oops. 🤭

Yourwildestdreams · 51-55, M

@Magenta 🤐🤭

Magenta · F

@Yourwildestdreams 😄 Well, if I were truly dating I would date younger, just not too much younger.

Yourwildestdreams · 51-55, M

@Magenta So are you saying you would card your dates 🧐 😅

beermeplease · M

depends on the circumstance and age of who you're asking...so i'll be 54 in a couple of months..would i like to have a fwb who are in their 20s.30s or 40s sure. likelihood of that happening is slim...well maybe i still have a shot at a lady in their mid 40s. but in reality at this point in my life i'd like to find a lady around my age who i can grow old with...women in their 50s can still rock it. likelihood of that happening is slim too as most are already taken.

pdockal · 56-60, M

Age is just a number but as i get older younger seems to be the optimal choice

Tastyfrzz · 61-69, M

At this point they'd have to be younger.

SissySecrets · 46-50, T

Older.

sirweighsalot · 22-25, M

@SissySecrets Me too!

SissySecrets · 46-50, T

@sirweighsalot older seem to be much better.

sirweighsalot · 22-25, M

@SissySecrets I agree

Jeephikelove · 51-55, F

Younger

Reject · 26-30, M

Older, unless someone younger was beyond their years emotionally, but that’s rare. Typically it’s the opposite and they’re emotionally younger than their age.

nazgul · 26-30, F

I don't really have a preference, but my current partner is the one I've meshed the most with and he's about 6 years older than me. Men my age or younger have been disappointing, historically.

RSquared · 61-69, M

Since I hit my late twenties I have always gravitated towards women younger than myself.

Cat2001 · 22-25, F

I prefer much older and mature men

beermeplease · M

@Cat2001 even if they worked as a walmart greeter who was a gentleman? or a ceo of some company who had crooked teeth and was a bit rough around the edges? my guess you'd pick the latter....

Cat2001 · 22-25, F

@beermeplease i dont have any preferences in that department.

beermeplease · M

@Cat2001 that's awesome

Anniedlr · 26-30, F

It really doesn’t matter so long as we are compatible 🙂

novaguy2u · 70-79, M

I used to find older partners more exciting.

val70 · 51-55

Try romantic first 🫣

Cybermale · 51-55, M

Both have merit

Bignakedguy · 31-35, M

Older

sirweighsalot · 22-25, M

@Bignakedguy me too

MarkRichardson · 46-50, M

I've been the toyboy, which was lovely, and I've been with the younger model too. I ended up marrying the younger model.

jackrabbit10 · M

when I was 16 or 17, I liked married women 20 to 30, , when I got to 20, or 30
I liked married women 18 to 20, 😇

666Maggotz · F

Similar age but I can date a few years younger or older.

Tahitiangrandma · 61-69, F

My husband is twenty years younger than me

aboveaverageaveragejoe · 51-55, M

@Tahitiangrandma dang cradle snatcher.

CarlaMommy · 41-45

Younger, prefer men under 30.

beermeplease · M

@CarlaMommy does that qualify you as a cougar 🤔

Pfuzylogic · M

Never had an older one

StarLily · 51-55, F

Younger

LemonWorld · F

Really old

nativespirit · 61-69, M

Either

popmol · 26-30, M

Older

ViciDraco · 36-40, M

I'm going to have to say younger. I've never actually dated someone older than me, and while I wouldn't rule it out most of my crushes have been younger as well. The closest to my age I've dated was two years younger and my largest gap has been six years younger. The other three I have dated all fell somewhere in that range.

NudasPriest

Yes

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

I prefer them to have a pulse.

NudasPriest

@LordShadowfire Strong preference, or?

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

@NudasPriest Yeah. Kind of a deal breaker.
