Would you date someone a lot older or younger than yourself?

By "a lot", I mean over 10 years younger or older. Of course, if you are already young, just answer the much older part. I tend to date people much younger. Men my age bore me, and older men hold no interest for me at all.

I have already no only dated, but married, twice. My first husband was 15 years older than I was, and my second husband was 10 years younger than I am. Since both of those marriages failed, maybe it's time to look for a man around my own age. :-)

I can't imagine that, but I am not saying that I would never do that. For me the most important thing is maturity. I want a man who is more patient and mature than me, and men tend to mature at much later age than women, so I think most of the younger men will be less mature. But there are some men that are very mature even though they're young, so if I can find such man I wouldn't hesitate to date him.

I probably would not. We just wouldn't be at the same place in our lives. I'm currently working on finishing my education, doing some travel, and enjoying being young. I want to move on to getting a house and having children. A man 10 years older than me would just not by in sync with those things, and if he was, it might actually speak to a level of emotional immaturity or something. I wouldn't expect a 35 guy to be thinking "well, I'll have kids in maybe six or seven years." But that's what I'm thinking, so we probably wouldn't "mesh."

I'm quite content with a partner who is my age. We click very well, are working on similar goals, and have a similar timeline for long term plans.

I can't say that I would. Age affects things that you would have in common. And I think that with too much of a distance, there would be alot that would cause difficulty that would affect the relationship. I like being able to talk about the good ol days, and have them be in the same decade. Remembering the same songs, movies and events together, rather than getting a history lesson from them, or feeling older because what they remember as a child, you remembered in college.

A few years with me is fine, more than that I would not be interested.

While this is hypothetical of course, I would likely only date someone younger. I'm still reasonably young myself, but I can't see having a successful relationship with someone older. I once dated someone who was just a couple of years older and it was still kind of a strange vibe. I think I'd be more comfortable being the older one than the younger one. Besides, lots of men tend to date younger women as they age, so it's not like my behavior would be an anomaly.

Also, if a man wants to wait an extra 10 years to have kids, he can date someone another 10 years younger who is becoming ready to be a parent at a more standard pace. Don't forget that Donald Trump had another baby not that long ago. If he was with someone his own age, it wouldn't be possible.

If I were single, I'd say I would date someone who's younger than me. You are right dsaldridge, men at my age seem to be boring and when they're 10 years older, they also seem to be a lot of pressure for me as I know I cannot think the way they think about life.

When I was younger I dated someone who was 11 years older than myself. Since then everyone I've dated was around my age.

If I liked someone and we had things in common I wouldn't give their age any thought at all. Of course I'm almost 50 so ten years older would be almost 60 so health issues would probably come into the equation at some point.
