Age gap's in relationships, how much older / younger would you go?

[Accipiter]

If choosing a partner how much older / younger would you go / find attractive?

I find that men seem to go younger and women seem to go for older usually!

Apologies if this questions already been asked to, I can never be arsed to dig around!

I'm definitely far more attracted to men older than me but I know not all my friends are like that. I wouldn't go younger if they went to my school but if they were in a different school and had their birthday in the same year as me (1994) then I wouldn't mind.

i don't really see the point in having specific types but i usually go for aged 20-28
as long as they ACT IT, i've met more mature 18 year olds than 25 year olds
i'm 18 btw n have almost always went for guys my age or older

I do tend to find it weird when you see an older girl with a younger guy when they're in their teens! But my friend is currently in relationship (he's 19 she's 20, possibly born the same year) but they have an age gap of 1 year I believe, but when I see them together I find it totally natural and normal because they do appreciate each other!

Another thing i've always found slightly weird when seeing in relationships is a girl who is (not slightly) but having quite the height on their boyfriend, it's just not something you tend to find but sometimes crosses your path. Possibly just me but I just never can grasp onto the idea haha.

When growing up I always thought it had to be someone your age etc, but when I grew up I found that 2 years younger / 1 year older seemed acceptable!

But I'll probably find when getting older that the age gaps get bigger as you can often see late 20 year old men with young 20 year old women

I normally think 10 years either way is a good indicator for me. Or it will be when I get older because I'm 19 now and I obviously wouldn't date a 9 year old but if I was 40 dating a 30 year old, it doesn't sound too bad that way

10 years sounds good to me

Right now it would be around 1-2 years because I'm 16, but when I'm older, say 24+ it would be around 5 years. I think it's better for me when I'm older because obviously I'm not looking to seriously settle down right this minute, and I think when I'm 24 I'll be more mature than I am now

[lawrawrrr]

Yeah, right now I'd say max 2 years either way... but I tend to base it on maturity levels rather than physical age.

[Special]

would never go younger, 3 years older maybe?

[Meanies]

Well the difference between me and my girlfriend is 2 and a half years, and I'd say that's probably as low as I'd go, I think the max higher I'd go is 1 year, if that, because the girl being older is a bit weird
