What is the maximum age difference you'd want with a romantic

The rule is unironically half your age plus 7

Anything between 18-40 is on.

>>17857782
How would it be that ironically?

I feel like up from 23 it's 8 years and up from 26 it's 10 years.

Don't ask why, it just sound quite natural.
That said, I think these 20+ what ever gender, are all just gold diggers or glory hunters.

I'm 24. I think I'd date up to 30ish, but I don't think I'd date younger by any more than a few months

>>17857761
She has to be at least sixteen and at least a year younger than me

>>17857782
So if I'm a 32 year old woman, I can date only up from 23? But old men are fine?
Even though I look almost underage, younger than her for instance. If I dated anyone few years older than me, they would look like a pedophile. But dating young hot toyboys is too unethical in my mind, anything under 25 is too pedo.

>>17857761
18 year age difference I say max

But then again I'm a 20 year old guy and desu wouldn't have any problem dating a women up to 44 desu

>>17857847
Because it's a silly made up answer that most people pay no attention to. Though more often than not it actually works pretty well.

I'm 22, my bf is 34. I think everything is fair game if it's past a reasonable age of consent, but I wouldn't recommend it. "Your 20's are for exploring" is the more diligent answer, but I guess exceptions can be made if you really like the person and if they're willing to sacrifice procreation to be with you.

>>17857999
>under 25
>pedo
Being imprecise with diction to that extent is retarded

>>17857761

When I was 16 I hooked up with a girl that told me she was 14, and we got to third base then dated for like a week. My JROTC instructor reprimanded me because she was actually a freshman and only just turned 13.

I will never forget the smell of grool soaked wool Navy dress pants.

>>17857999
Nah you reverse the equation to get the upper limit. Yours would be 50.

>>17858041
he feels like a grandfather :D

me: m / 31
range: 18 - 40

I'm uncomfortable at around the 5 year mark, but that's because the ages of my relatives are all about 5 years apart. I kind of class the memories things I'd like to relate to with them as being slightly too distant.

I dated a 15 year old at 18 and now it just goes up by a year each birthday

22 dating a 19 year old currently

>>17858042
Unless there is some sort of weird pedophilla/really early perburty I think that's genetically impossible.

I'm 18 and would rather date someone within the 18-21 range, but I'm open to whatever.

I kind of have a crush on a 17 year old but I'm scared the cops will have something to say to me if I try hitting it up with him, aha.

>>17858079
What kind of police state do you live in where an 18 year old can't date a 17 year old?

The "Half your age plus 7" rule is totally legit, it's pretty sure fire.

But it only really applies to Men in regards to the minimum age their girl can be so that nobody would socially bat an eye at them.

>>17858110
I'm a legal adult, they're not. Granted, I live in Texas and that's the sex having age here, but they're still a minor technically. I just have some obnoxious deep rooted fear.

>>17858133
>>17858079
You know you can date someone without having sex with them, right? Or do you think now that you're an 'adult' you have to do 'adult' things?

It's weird/scary how panicky women (who want children) start acting around 30's mark.

>>17858137
Literary there is another thread about a dude getting fucked over by the parents of a girl. Parents can get on the way things still as they have legal control.

>Or do you think now that you're an 'adult' you have to do 'adult' things?

Naw dude. All things considered, I really don't wanna be an adult and wish I could keep dicking around forever. But I wanna have sex. It's just a natural human desire, and holy smokes, wouldja look at that? Reports are in that I'm human and have these desires. Wowza.

for me it would be, at max, 4 years older or younger than myself.
i dated a guy 7 yrs older and another guy 6 yrs younger. although we had hobbies in common, we just didnt click when it came to religion, politics, marriage, family, or education. the older one didnt give a shit about anything because he was over the college bs and was very cynical. the younger one started his college phase: cared too much about shit he had no control over and loved to argue. if i didnt support his opinion then he would get abusive.

imo i think it's gross if a 20 something yr old dates a 40 something yr old.

Hello, -89 dating -94 and we'r doing fine. Met at work, went from there and here we are.

I am a 200 year old dating a 100 year old. It's alright but eventually it gets really tiring being immortal and sucking blood and all that. Maybe in another 50 years I'll get another bride. I'm relatively young.

i'm 28 and my bf is 22.
i still find it strange at times. mainly because i simply have a lot more life experience than he does and because i am afraid of keeping him from doing what 22 year olds might need to do to not feel like they missed out later on (fuck around?). but our relationship is very good, so most of the time i don't care about the gap.

my mom's partner is 17 years younger than she is. he's 33, she's 50. but they live together since more than 10 years (which is pretty weird, when they met, he was 23 and she was 40...) and have a very good relationship.
guess it greatly depends on the persons involved if it works or not.

>>17858300
Why do I get the feeling you and your family are white trash?

>>17858304
maybe they both are dominas who need young toys

>>17857761
I'm 23, I prefer to date between 21 and 30, but with rare exceptions will I date 18 to 35

>>17858304
because it isn't a sign of mental stability to date so out of your agerange?

granted, we aren't the most sane family ever, probably hard on the edge. it also depends on your definition of white trash..

>>17858317
yeah, that is kind of a reason too. we both like to be in charge.

>>17858333
Most people don't date someone 17 years younger. Even 6 years is a big gap when you're in your 20s. Usually there's so little in common and they're at different life stages that they're just not compatible. From an outsider's perspective it just looks like the older one's immature or trying to make themselves feel young again and/or the younger one is using the older one for money

dont care whatsoever

>What is the maximum age difference you'd want with a romantic partner?

well, realistically, i wouldent like my partners to be no more than 10 years older or more than 4 years younger (im 22). having said that, i was sexually and romantically involved with a women of 40 when i was 20 so im open to date someone twice my age if i really like them. i doubt i will ever date someone so much older than me again, it was kinda of a one off that happened because we became really close and shit happened.

16-30
f-m

>>17858300
>what 22 year olds might need to do to not feel like they missed out later on (fuck around?).

i understand that worry. im 22 now, and i have never fucked around, mostly because its too much effort for so little. i feel like i might feel an urge to later in life.

I am a 23 year old girl.

Ideally, I'd prefer to date someone slightly older than me - 25-29.
I could go for 21-24 or 30-33, too.

So I guess I'd date from two years younger up to 10 years older.

The equation is usually only given in the form that equals the lower limit, because usually the question usually comes from a man lusting after young woman, and wondering if he's creepy for doing so.

Lower limit you can date/fuck without being creepy = (Your age / 2) + 7

Upper limit you can date/fuck without it being creepy = (Your age - 7) * 2

>>17859167
most girls prefer older guys desu. my last gf was older and i know she found it weird. im 22, and most of the girls that flirt with me are about 18.

>>17859165
lol that is retarded. the court should of dismissed it.

>>17858038

>Navy
Don't lie it was a feminine penis you fucking fag

Women lose all brain function until they are 27 because they realize all the whoring around they did to get free meals is quickly coming to an end.

I personally wouldn't even consider dating a woman under the age of 28. After you turn 28, pretty much everything is game on.

>>17859175
I genuinely find men more attractive as they age.
It's not even a matter of age itself - one of the guys I liked more is two years younger than me and I would gladly have dated him if he didn't move on the other side of earth. But, yeah, he looked older. I just find a baby face and generally childish features to be a turn off in guys.

>>17859165

The laws are stupid. Granted. Granted.

But in America, when you're 18, you can vote, you can buy cigarettes, you can buy porn, you can be in porn, you can make a will, you can sign a contract to own a car or a home in your own name, you can get a credit card in your own name, the list goes on and on.

At 18, the law says, here is a big pile of rights you now have, that you didn't have before. ALSO: here is a big pile of responsibilities you have that you didn't have before. You are an adult now. You're expected to act like it, and you should expect to be treated like it under the law.

So if you then stick your dick into someone who, under the law, is a minor, welcome to a life of fucking hurt.

It SUCKS that things are this way. Granted. Granted. But it's hard to think of a way that doesn't suck for somebody. A person matures from childhood to adulthood by degrees, and on no particular schedule. Laws requires unambiguous boundaries to be enforceable. Right now, "barely adults" are getting ruined for having sex with "barely children," but we, as a society, are MORE OKAY with that than we are with denying the parents of "barely children" legal recourse against "barely adults" having sex with their child.

>>17859185
>. I just find a baby face and generally childish features to be a turn off in guys.

this is why i am in a dilemma when it comes to dating. im 22 but i look about 16-17 in the face, nothing i can do about it. i typically find younger women too immature. fair enough if you like guys that look older though, makes sense to like masculine features.

>>17859199
Oh, yeah - obviously older guys tend to be a bit more mature and it is very much appreciated, but it isn't a general statement. The 21 year old I liked was absolutely amazing and one of the most emotionally mature human beings I've ever met.

35 y.o. male anon

Younger than 24 - wouldn't date, I see them as mostly kids. Hot kids, but kids nonetheless

24-28 - would certainly fuck, would maybe consider a relationship if unusually mature

28 or older - would date and build a life

Basically what this guy said:
>>17859183

>>17859164
>i feel like i might feel an urge to later in life.

Unless you are specially ugly, you will.

If you are a guy, not much problem, you can get pussy

If you are a girl, fuck around while you still can.

47yr old male here my wife is 28 and it works very well for us.

And nope she's not a gold digger (I wish I had enough money to make her one lol)

I'm 18 my (ldr)bf is 28. We have the same birthday and started dating about a year ago. He's such an immature cunt but I'm just marrying him because he's cute as fuck.

>>17859405
You see, this is creepy as fuck. You two shouldn't be dating.

As long as youre both adults and both comfortable with each other who the fuck cares. Love is ageless surely?

>>17859405
>He's such an immature cunt but I'm just marrying him because he's cute as fuck.
You're obviously just a child.

>>17859428
I wish more people would think this age difference is creepy. My problem is he isn't into ddlg but I am so when the age difference is emphasized it's more of a turn on for me.

I recently met a 20 year old Japanese girl married to a 75 year old American.

For me it's three years. Anything other than that throws our interests off base too far. I talk about my childhood watching Pokemon and all I hear back is Twilight, f dat.

>>17859474
Most people are just thinking about the sex and companionship, not the compatibility and the future. Basically it's very short sighted thinking.

I mean really it's not that awful to fuck people younger than you but to string them along with a relationship is kind of foolish. I don't mean too young either, there's gotta be limits you set up for yourself and frankly they should follow social norms. Speaking of social norms, it's like some people just don't understand what they are, or really they just wanna get laid on a regular a basis...

I'm 30. The youngest I'd date is probably around 26-27. It's someone who is out of college, been working a few years, and been independent in the real world. Now I would fuck a 21 year old in a second but I wouldn't want to date them.

I have a really good relationships with my parents and I would be uncomfortable dating someone who is close to their age. I can't imagine how weirded out my parents would be either. At 27, my dating range goes from 23 to 35.

>>17859505
So he is just with me because he wants to have sex when we see each other?

>>17859526
It's very likely... Don't get me wrong there could be some special connection there, and he could have true intentions for you. I'm just pulling numbers out of my ass but I'm under the impression that for every ten relationships with a huge age disparity only a quarter of them pan out. Like most people have mentioned, there are too many variables in life for both of you to be compatible. Something is bound to break the relationship.

>>17859489
>I recently met a 20 year old Japanese girl married to a 75 year old American.
Well that's just plain wierd

>>17857761
That guy in pic is 44 i think

I would date a guy up till 30 something but less than 40. I think 20yrs diference would be too much for me

>>17857761

age isn't as important as looks.

if a really old but young looking person gets with a young looking person, people can still tell / know the oldie is old. but becuase of how youthful they look (And presumably, act) no one really thinks of it that way.

its when someones clearly past their prime and they're with someone just starting out in life that it gets weird cuz there's generally a vibe of parental issues involved.

>>17859505
In a second? You mean for a second because you'd pretty much prejac and then she'd laugh at you, you old piece of shit

I find that + or - 3-5 years is probably the best. I'm 25 now, and I'm not at the same place or have the same goals as I was when I was 20, and I can't see myself having a lasting connection with anyone younger than 20(And honestly even that's a stretch). When I'm 30 I don't see myself relating to a 25 year old very well. I also don't even think sex past a 5 year difference is a very smart idea. It's a lot like an open relationship- sounds good on paper, but it hardly ever works out and one party ALWAYS has different expectation of what will happen and how it will go and ends up getting hurt.

>>17857761
when I was 24, I hooked up with a 15yr girl. We dated, we fucked and 5 years later we're gonna get married, so I'd say things worked out pretty well.

>>17859825
lol, you think 30 is old... I bet I'm in better shape than you physically, mentally, and spiritually.

>prejac
>30

Nah, I'm not some teenage boy.

>>17859183
Losing brain function implies they had it before. It goes only for old people.
But otherwise, there are plenty of smart girls already in elementary school, they just don't end up in a meat market type nightclub

>>17859405
>He's such an immature cunt
but so are you

>>17859474

This is what large age gap relationships are like. One partner is embarrassingly immature and the other has mental issues. It's gross.

>>17859489
How do you even marry someone with that much of an age gap? Old enough to be your grandfather? Like is it a money thing?

>20 year old Japanese girl married to a 75 year old American.
How can you even connect with someone that much older than you on an emotional or sexual level?

>>17857761
As long as it's legal, who cares

>>17857761
I'm 23.

I guess I would date a girl who is 18, but she would have to be done with high school. The funny thing is that the legal age in my state is 17 which I find fucking strange.

The oldest age I would go for would be 26

>>17857761
Personally, it gets weird arouns +5. There's always been a gap in my dating (not preference just chance) and it's usually around 2-3 years.

>>17858030
why don't you recommend it? Do you feel you are sacrificing for your older partner?

>tfw 22 y/o partnered with a 51 y/o
basically I have a third parent who yells at me to clean the hous etc.

>>17859925
You're gross. It's none of your business what other people do. Go gossip about it with your knitting circle.

>>17861358
Are you boy or girl?

>>17857761
When I was 19, I was dating a 27 y/o woman for about a year.
Always felt kinda weird. She had her own career, was going to college to advance in said career, and I was some fuckface working landscaping and partying all the time. Felt like our ages didn't really mesh too well. Might've just been our personalities and goals, though.
Also, I always called her "Mom" and she'd flip shit. I still laugh about it.

>>17861552
>Also, I always called her "Mom" and she'd flip shit.
Well i guess as long as it wasn't during sex

>>17857761

I'm 25. Younger than 17 is a no from me ( 16 is legal where I live). I wouldn't date a woman less than a year younger than me save very exceptional circumstances.

>>17859194

In Canada age of consent is 16, and yet people can't vote until they are 18. Some states are like that as well I believe. We also have laws that allow for 15 year olds to sleep with anyone under 19 or 20 and etc. You can make the laws more fair in general.

>>17861572
A couple times.
The comedic value was totally worth no sex for a couple days.
Mostly it was when she nagged me. "Anon, you forgot to put gas in my damn car!" "... Sorry mom"

Depends. I was about to say maybe 10 older older, 5 younger (I'm 25, wouldn't mind dating a 35 year old woman, the younger heir is dating that one hot chick who's like 35 and there's 2 victoria secret models who are that old but look better than the rest) but then I remembered Sofia Vergara and that woman that woman who is married to the Thor actor are 40 or 45. Then again it's hard to relate to anyone who's not in the same range. At least for me.

Would really just prefer 23-28.

I'm 24f. I like guys 19-29. 5 year age difference maximum.

I'm 19f. Oldest i'd date would be 35, but realistically i'll probably settle down with someone 2-5 years older than me.

I'm 28 and currently going after a 21 year old. I have moments where I second guess myself because she is mature, but has immature moments expected of people that age.

>>17857761
Im 20 m, for some reason I really don't like dating people younger than me and always try to go older. I guess min of go 18 if i REALLY feel a connection and max like late 30s for a serious relationship and early 40s for like a less serious thing if they're hot.

I guess I have a double standard of sorts

10 years

more than that is unhealthy for a long term babymaking relationship

if you dont want babies do whatever you like

I'm 28 and talk to two girls. One is 21 and the other is 18. The 18 year old is clearly too immature for me, and likewise she probably thinks i'm too old for her even though we flirt a little sometimes.

Something inside me tells me that the 21 year old is free game though. We're pretty compatible even though I recognize she's not as experienced in life as me. I guess the half your age plus 7 rule is pretty legit.

>>17857761
When dating up: It's okay as long as they're younger than your parents. Not in the same decade.

>>17859199
I know that feel. I had one girl older than me interested in me despite my babyface, but boy, mentally she was like a 19 years old

>>17857761
Depends. When I was 16/17, I'd only date someone older, at 20/21, one year below would be the absolute minimum. Now in my mid twenties, it's 21-41. Doubt I could ever go below 21-22, since I want to date a partner and not babysit a kid.

I am 28 and my boyfriend is 55. I hardly notice anymore and most people I know don't care either, though the initial reactions were interesting.

>>17859194
Fuck you you know that it is immoral to punish that boy.

>>17858030
I have a close emotional only relationship with a 37 y/o. I'm 20, that's a pretty significant gap.

Not so bad though, we both have very similar interests and are both very informed. In fact I am quite happy that it isn't sexual since I feel uncomfortable engaging in that sort of thing

I feel like relationships with that large of a gap require special people on both ends
there is no completely perfect rule on age, I tend to lean towards the person matters more than the number
