Which do you prefer, someone younger then you or someone older?

Asked by kayysamm (435points) April 7th, 2009

If you were to start dating someone would you rather them be older or younger then you ? Why?

I’ve always dated older guys because I find them more mature and easier to get along with then younger guys. Younger guys are great for friends but I could never date one. Everyone thinks its weird that I only like older guys but I dont find it that odd or different.

Older. My s/o is over a decade older than me

My husband is almost 3 years younger than I am. It’s not a major difference, but I kind of like it. Statistically we should live about the same time. However , in the past I’ve dated older and younger. They offer different things. The important thing seems to be that you’re both in the same place at approximately the same time. If one partner is significantly older and wants to settle down while the other is “rarin’ to go”, it can cause a lot of conflict.

I usually prefer older. My best relationships have been with older men. I like the maturity and I think I have more in common with older guys.
I’d never say I could never date a younger guy though. I take people as who they are, not how many birthdays they’ve had.
