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

[Anonymous]

I'm 30 and not comfortable dating guys in their 40s. Tried it once last year and he was a handsome early 40s guy who looked no older than 35, but I figured I'd probably lose interest as we aged and the differences were more pronounced. Also, I was turned off that he'd never been married/had kids by then. I feel like if a handsome man isn't married by then, something's wrong.

28 when I married my DH; he was 48 at the time. Never thought much of the age difference and we have been very happy.

anything is possible if you look good and are nice
i have a friend who in his 50's married a gal in her early 30's...they are 20+ years apart and have kids
he did say that he is worried about her leaving him when he's 70

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.

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

I'm moved away to go to a different university. We lost touch. Caught up with each other a few years ago on facebook.

Some women can be bought, some cannot. Money aside, I agree with PPs in compatible age ranges (outliers aside) is max 7 on either side for either sex for a true long term pairing.

It's hard to connect with someone intimately who didn't share your generational experiences. Just my opinion.

I agree and particularly prefer 2 years younger to 5 years older for this reason. I've dated and will date younger and older, but this is the sweet spot for me. I'd like to grow together.

Did he have baggage?

Yes it does. Baby-making.

Because these older guys are just looking to have a baby? Interesting theory.

Hey if the man is loaded, trust me....It won't matter what he looks like. He'll most definitely get women. Look at Donald Trump.

Imagine if he worked as the manager of McDonald's.
Do you think he would have landed such a beautiful wife??!

My point exactly.
I rest my case.

I'm 35 and would not go lower than 35 or older than 48 and not shorter than 6'1" or heavier than 190.

However that is me. I'm not the dating police so I say date who you want. Hugh Hefner is fine by me. He's gonna die happy.

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.

So 50 year old women message you even though they're not in your age range? Weird. Why would you even date older than you at all? You can date anyone in their 30's (even lower 30's) if you're attractive with a good job.

A man can date a woman in her 30's or younger as long has he has $1 million in assets for every year in his 40's or older.

I'm 35 (m) and like two to six years younger for serious dating. Most guys want a woman a bit younger but I prefer one with some relatibility too. I've had some 23-24 yr olds interested, but I really don't consider it for a long term thing.

6'1?? Good luck with that, excluding 90% of men off the bat
