Stemming off of the how old are you thread I’m curious on this topic with age gaps being a more prevalent conversation these days. I haven’t been single for 10 years so I really don’t know what my answer would be if I were so. Generally I think I dated more women older than me than younger than me though. But for reference my wife is 6 years younger than me.

Man is unhappy because he doesn't know he's happy. It's only that.

My husband is 4 years younger than me, and we started dating when he was 25. Let's say age gap is less relevant when it's a small percentage of your age.

I'm with someone 10 years younger and I disgust myself. That's because (your words) "My back hurts and my knees hurt. And my shoulders and ankles hurt too." To fix your back, remember to use your abs as if you wanted to eliminate the curve in your lumbar vertebrae. Basically push your abs towards your column. I've been doing that since I was 16, taught by a ballet dancer friend, and I never had issues even at my age.

Well my 2 favorite current actors fathered kids at ~ 80 + so there ya go....... Um, as young as 18 and as old as you're (or I'm) attracted to........it's a stupid question to me for males & females.......this presentism idea of the infantilization of adult females specifically - like an 18 year old girl isn't mature enough to refuse my old ass or some shit if I ask her out In fact -it's the very infantilization of culture now that enhances the age differences of what I - and that in theory MAR -would date - like do you ever see the bands I like? I'm not some dude in my 20s who likes a 15+ year old band like the Arctic Monkeys only (no offense, I like em too, that's not my point) - I like bands that just formed this month ffs.....that's something...... .odd..........are you an adult man who likes Star Wars and The Dark Knight and comic books? That's something odd too...........just sayin it is.....not a putdown .......the trash of the past is the fast food of today........pfffft My very behavior is adolescent not just my appreciation of the Arts .........if anything so is my worldview ........politically I question everything - I'm far more radical than the members of Generation Useless - or just outside of it - on this board think they are (yeah, Che Gueverra was cool - right you poseur - okay, sure )............. I quesiton everything.......trust me if anybody gets arrested for blowing up a federal building it's..........well it's Joaquim ........but after that it's me not that circle jerk of the Pete Buttigieg fanclub So, nowadays I date my gf and that's it ........but if not for her I'd date far younger - and have for a while - because I don't attract females of a comparable age........the topic of conversation is likely to skew younger, and so are the interests and compatibility......I'm not likely to want to talk my 401k and landscaping yanno?

Heath Ledger started dating Lisa Zane (Billy's sister) when he was 17 and she was 35. She's the reason he came to Los Angeles in the first place. In short... I think it's dependent on the person, not the person's age.

I guess the youngest I’ll go is 21. If I can’t take my date to a bar she’s probably too young for me and maybe I shouldn’t be dating her. As for the oldest I’ll go, I guess her age doesn’t matter if she makes my penis take over my cognitive functions

I'm 32 now and dated both a 20 and 46 year old for significant periods when I was 30. Those are probably around what the limits are now.
Zoomers need to chill with the constant age gap judgements.

I wouldn't go under 21, but I generally lean within a closer range for those younger than me. As for the upper limit, I would like to have biological kids so there is a limit for a long-term relationship. That being said, Mary Steenburgen can get it to this day and Salma Hayek is still my top celebrity crush.

Yeah, it's not like I'd say no if JLO or Monica Bellucci asked me out (LOL) which is why I said "around" for the upper limit, it just depends.

I turn 34 next week and would feel weird dating anyone younger than 25. I’m not convinced anyone has really settled into their adult self until around that age, so it’s likely someone younger than that is going to be in a significantly different place in life in terms of personal identity, emotional maturity, worldview, self-awareness, etc.
As for dating older, it would depend on the person. There’s plenty of people who behave younger than they are, so a gap might feel smaller than it actually is. My wife is 4 years older than me but I often forget that because we feel the same age.
