What's your cutoff age for too old to date?

[Anonymous]

I know some very active professional women in their 40s-60s who won't date above around 55. I was surprised about that especially for the people in their 60s but it sounds like they feel like men age faster after that time and don't want to be stuck with someone who is not physically or mentally as fit as them or taking care of them in a few years if the relationship gets serious. Is this reasonable in your opinion?

Lol, this is funny as I'm a man in the same age group. I know lots of active professional men in their 40s to 60s, and they don't want to date above about 40. They've got the wealth to make that play, so more power to them.

That's your circle. Makes no sense to rule out a man 0-5years older when you are in your 50s and 60s.

I guess that means women 41 and over are really out of luck.

They could date someone in their 70s lol.

60F here. My age range is 48-70. I have plenty of very fit male friends in their upper 60s so that doesn't scare me off. But interestingly it's the 48/49/early 50s who seem most interested in dating me, which is fine.

Only in those circles. From what I've seen, the over-40 women do pretty well with the balding public school teacher set.

So you are confirming that they really are old and tired as women in the OP assume, and use their money to buy some attention.

Looks like those women don't need that money, and therefore they are wise to go younger.

You mean the broke women 41 and over who are willing to put up with these men for the money.

This is some crazy girl math.

I'm a woman in my early 50s. I assume that lacking amazing looks or significant independent wealth, I am nobody's target audience. It's oddly freeing.

I think it is reasonable to set whatever parameters you want. They can always be adjusted if it isn't working out as planned.

52 yr old male here I don’t date women over 35.

I don’t date men over 55 and never will. I’d rather be single than a caretaker.

My cutoff has been 28 for the last 30 years. Never found a reason to change it. The heart wants what it wants.

Great. That leaves the best Lovers for me. I'm 60's with power to play. Sex with a 30's female usually has a better body, but not nearly as good a lover as 40-60.
