At what age can a man no longer date a woman in her 30s or younger?

when I was 37 I dated a 53 year old. And he was not rich. Lovely guy, really handsome and sexy, but I ended it because the age difference was going to be too great going forward. I'd say late 40s/50. But who knows, my other ex, who is 52, puts on his match profile that he wont date anyone over 38. Or anyone who has been married before. He is a 52 year old guy who has never been married and is not rich, and wants to find a slim, educated, blue eyed, never married woman between 28 and 38.

OP here. I'm actually a woman in my early 30s and have an ex that is 50 who is very similar to what this PP described above except he makes a good salary even by dcum standards. I broke things off because of the age difference too. I also have a Match profile and get lots of messages from men in their 50s, so I was wondering if it was more common than I thought.

I'm 38, married, but am considering divorcing my Dh for a 51 year old man. He is also married and considering ending it with his wife for me.

He is not rich, by any means. We first met when I was 19 and he was 32, and were very attracted to each other, but never dated because we were both uncomfortable with the age difference.

Regular guys? I'd guess the cut off is 65.

I'm a PP so I'm totally sockpuppeting but I had to add to my previous post. Why do you think a woman in her 30s (or younger) would be romantically interested in a 65 year old, especially a regular 65 yr old? I mean I'm sure there are exceptions but it would be very rare. Hell, my dad's only 56!

PP you're quoting here. You know why I picked that cut off (not average, but hard stop cut off)? Because my 39 year old sister, never married sister got married to a 63 yr old widower a few years ago. Obv. no kids. Big careers, world travelers, very happy and -- IMHO -- well matched.

How about you may not date someone younger than your eldest daughter without appearing creepy?

I'm a 42 yo man here. I wouldn't date women younger than 35 and probably would date up to 50.

I'd totally bang a 25 yo tho.

Does not make sense to date a younger woman. However, young men should go for older women because the libidos of both parties match.

Marvelous. So now we have two more broken homes and shattered lives so that the two of you selfish idiots can find yourselves.

41 year old divorced guy here - and date women from 32-47. But I seem to get a lot messages from women 49+ (like another PP, I have a profile on match.com too).

the 20-somethings are lots of fun to look at for sure (especially in yoga pants) but I can't deal with the immaturity - need a woman who is fit, mature and confident and who has actually lived and done something in her life.

+1 I've seen it happen, and it's weird.

If you knew him since you were 19 and had feelings for him, then why did you marry someone else?

Different Pp here. Naah they're just trying their luck. I have a profile somewhere too and you wouldn't believe how many messages I get from much older men. Many are quite delusional.

Yes it does. Baby-making.

I'm 32. If I were single, the oldest I would go would be 45. For my single girlfriends my age, the oldest they date seems to be 40 (and they prefer mid 30s). I have a gorgeous 36 year old colleague who only dates men in their 50s. She admits she has issues and the men are always well off.

People having affairs don't care about anyone but themselves so hurting spouse and kids is just collateral damage to get what they want.
