5 years max, even that's pushing it. I don't believe "age is just a number". Sure, people mature depending on personal experiences and when those happen to them. There are some 25 year olds with better EQ than people twice their age. However, that doesn't have to change personal preferences. The way I see it, 80s kids and 00s kids would have initial differences in interests and other experiences (non personal). Smaller age gap means higher probability of having things to relate to, from the get go. Ideally, the person would have both the EQ and be within your preferred age range. (edited)

I’m hijacking this question to point out there’s about a 200 year gap between Wolverine and (most?) of his love interests. You’re welcome. Seriously though, I think a 5 year gap either side. In some cases, I think I’m okay with someone more than 5 years older, but not more than 5 years younger (edited)

Hmm. I used to think I didn't like dating younger men, but I went on a couple dates with a couple men that were 10+ older than me. And they were the most immature people I have met. That being said I'm now pretty open to whatever. Just not where they are in a different mindset than me.

Love is a every feeling that ever existed. It is us, who defines it. Love has no age, no face, no true rules. Love is and always will be what we make of it... Most especially love shouldn't be hurting! Cheers! 🫶✨️🥰🫰🫶🌈🌻

Depends on the age. If was in my 50's and I met a 63 year old man, I'd be okay with it. But right now, no more than a year younger and no more than five years older. Even that's a stretch tho

I think it mostly depends on circumstance but I would say probably 10 years is the limit for me 🤷 I think the younger you are tho the smaller the age gap should be for example if you had just turned 18 then 28 would be kinda 🚔👮‍♂️

Maybe 3-5 years? I think if someone is too young or too old we won't have many subjects to talk about and our value systems maybe too different to combine in a mutually fulfilling way.

There's actually a math problem for this, you take your age and cut it in half before adding 7. That's the minimum age you can date. Reverse it to find your oldest, subtract seven by your age and multiply by 2. That means the oldest I can date is 22, for right now. Do the math for several ages and you see that it is not linear. This makes complete sense, the older you get the lesser the difference in maturity. A 10 year difference won't seem so big when you're 50, y'know? However, if I'm not dating someone by 30, I don't expect to be dating in my 50s either. (edited)

It depends on mental age as well, I would feel a certain type of way if I went out with someone that acted like a teenager. 🤷‍♀️

A notable age gap doesn't dictate the quality of a relationship, as long as both individuals have mutual respect, understanding, and shared life goals. Nonetheless, naturally, I desire to grow old with him as much as possible. 🤍☺ Also ME: I don't care about that age gap anymore, even if the person is twice my age. All I know is I'm tired of waking up early and working! I just want to lie down on a bed of money! That's why I'm off to find a 🍯 daddy! 🤣🤣🖤

I think it depends on the people and how the couple interacts with one another. As long as everything is consensual (no kids, animals, or those without the ability to consent) then I don't care what people do in the bedroom or how old they are. But I personally don't date anyone more than 1 year younger than me but that's a personal preference.

As a man I'm supposed to say my age minus 18 years, right? Seriously though, I don't think it matters as long as it's legal, moral and consentual (ie not grooming, or gold digging for an inheritance)
