I think this is somewhat of a relevant question as we are often asked to quantify this range in all the dating apps. What do you list as your range?
most women (not all, but most) undergo a psychological change around 26 years old...they start thinking more long term and become more strategic (not totally Machiavellian, but in that general direction).
So, depending on what you are looking for, i would suggest choosing a side of 26
22-26 for fun, carefree, and all the possibilities in the world
27-32 if looking to get married in the near future and have kids
meeting women over 32 is tricky... women have difficulty getting pregnant around 34/35+ and so you are really limiting your chances for a genetic family (from a statistical perspective)
You're going to ask us for ours but won't show us yours? >:(
18 - 25
Currently mid-20s and usually throw the range finder on 18-39, not using the apps for "serious" dating.
Ourtime.com, GILFs over 50 galore
In the current environment, I’ll take whatever I can get.
in normal times, 18-35 is a good range. Mostly on the lower end, but there is something to be said about a more mature women.
Jesus Christ dude you're in college and would date a 35 year old 😂😂😂
Bro you can laugh, but there are some HOT 35 year olds. I was being conservative in my range, honestly I would date a 40+ as well. Of course, they can’t be the average 35-40 year old, and I can’t see myself in a serious relationship, but a short term thing with them could be fun. Alessandra Ambrosio is incredibly attractive to me, I picture a woman like her when I say 35-40.
A woman who's hot, smart, and potentially makes enough to spoil you a little bit? Ain't nothing wrong with a little cougar sugar.
I'm 26. Would say my age range is 24-27. College chicks + recent postgrads tend to be a bit immature and I think hookup culture is damaging so I steer clear of it as much as possible.
if you want to date for fun, have lots of sex, lots of adventures, lots of "endless possibilities" where everything feels "new"...then stay under 26.
If you want to date to find a relationship, get married and have kids, then 26-30 is the sweetspot.
Yeah I think this is correct
You'll be surprised how many women 26-30 have no desire for marriage/kids.
Unless you're in Kansas.
20 < age < 28
I feel like the 25 age is the prefect break to determine someone long term date ability. Do they have some goals they are working towards? have they completed something already?
Currently 22. Dating range is 21-24. Would consider a 20 year old but highly unlikely.
at your age, i would be targeting 19-23....you aren't looking to get married, and so just looking for fun, carefree, and high spirited.
19 is little too young for me. That’s fresh out of high school/college sophomore at best. I’m already a college grad starting my career. There would be too much contrast.
Has anyone here got married to a girl they met in college? Would love to hear more about that experience if anyone has it.
I met my wife in college. Everything’s going great.
Ditto to Malta. Met her in college, been together ever since
Did y'all smash in your first hookup in college?
33, age range is 26-34. When I was 30 I dated a smokeshow 22 year old (not a "bimbo", she was an Ivy CS grad working at a unicorn startup), and I will never do that kind of life experience gap again.
Follow up with her, she's got 3 years of life experience now and close to your minimum threshold.
Aside from the fact she's living with her 36 year old boyfriend, we also are a terrible fit personality-wise.
I'm 28, and I prefer no younger than maybe 26 and no older than 32 or 33. I've actually been doing good with that early 30s range and I'm not complaining. Girls in their early twenties seem too immature and don't come off as stable, so its mostly a turnoff or viewed less serious for me. Too much older than me, I feel like it's a serious husband hunt for those women where they're hoping to get hitched at lightning speed which is way too soon for me.
As someone in their late twenties looking for something serious, 24-28 is what I set the apps to. If I end up single in my thirties, would probably bump the upper end to whatever my age is.
At least in new york you generally see a mental shift in women from wanting something chill to something serious at ~25, but I have seen some of my friends score 10/10 wife-material by "investing early" (if you will) with 23/24 year olds on the apps. It is usually pretty clear what their deal is on the first date, and I am upfront about what Im looking for which avoids wasted time.
18&0d - 18&364d (gotta strike while its hot lol)
Wonder if Leon Black is going to chime in on this topic....
I am a 21 year old female and I have my age range set at 26-35...but if I met someone at work or through friends I would go higher or lower. I am more concerned about someone fitting the qualities I am looking for rather than a specific age, but in my experience, my age range seems to fit what I am looking for best.
Wow, everyone is so opinionated here with such narrow ranges... when I was single, I would date women much older or younger than me.
My more serious relationships tended to be within a few years of me (my wife is 2 months younger), but if you are in a stage of "exploration and fun", why not a wide range. I've dated 22yos that were more mature than some 32yos...
Agreed, this is basically what I said. I'm 21 right now, don't care about a serious relationship, still 18-35, fuck it 40+ is my range. Granted don't really want to marry anyone 15+ years older than me, but why limit yourself? There are some sugar mamas out there, and I'll have sex for nice things.
(I'm not a whore)
Wanted to weigh in on the "pick a side of 26" thing. While I agree that 18-22 is a tough age range for anything serious since people are still figuring themselves out, the concept that a switch suddenly flips is a little misleading. First of all: you will find just as many stable/relationship-oriented 24 year old women as you will 26+ who are still a mess. I have found a number of serious contenders in the 23-25 range. My best advice is to keep the filters wide and then use your discretion to figure out what kind of individual you are dealing with. If you just communicate you want something more long-term the flakes will usually see themselves out the door.
Second of all: this is highly-dependent on where you are at in your timeline. Eg I am in my late twenties, would ideally get married in my early thirties, and want to have a couple DINK years before having kids. That is overall a four to five year process assuming a couple years of dating, year long engagement, and about two years before having kids. Dating 24-27 year olds makes a lot of sense in my situation because it ends up being a max four year age gap, which imo is ideal because we can still relate to each other but aren't running into biological clock issues since she will only be about 29-32 when we have our first kid. My friends aged 26-32 generally keep their age filters down to 24 as well. Now if you are 35, feel like you know enough to speed that process up to two years...dating a 24 year old makes less sense.
EDIT: (meant to comment this in general thread- not as a reply)
I would go 14-17.
I'm in high school.
You may not be in HS for much longer if you are 17 and going after 14 year olds.
