Do you guys really care about age? be honest

>be me at 27. female
>have huge crush on 23 year old at work

my question is how much does age even bother you guys? is it true that guys only want 18-23 year olds? this dude invites me to hang out with his friends and sometimes i feel self conscious cause some of them dont even look 22 they could pass for 15 easily

am i overthinking this? should i just see if he's intersted and not wory about the 4-5 year age gap?

im decently successfull i think? i have my own place. a car. good credit. a degree. i dunno if guys even care about those things in women.

4-5 years?

That's almost granny-porn.

Some guys are into that, I guess.

idc about age. just depends on how you act.

Age difference is nothing. Doing someone at work is generally a bad idea.

some guys like cougars dammit

If he wants to hang out with you he obviously doesn't care about your age. It might be a turn on for him, go for it. Flirt with him and show your interest, or just downright ask him. I'm 24 and I've dated women who were in their 30's. It was a huge turn on for me when they flirted but I was a little too afraid/intimidated at first to ask them out

Some guys also enjoy the concept of pooping on one another. Now let that sink in for a minute.

In all seriousness though, that's not even something to be worried about. Twenty something is twenty something.

I felt really attracted to my cooking class partner, she is nice and curvy but she is 44 years old(she looks somewhat young, and the classroom is a bit dimlitted so I didn't notice it immediately), I'm 24 and that made me lose romantic interest in her, mainly because she will hit menopause within the next few years and I want to have children one day, having roughly 1 year-ish to start a family with a person would also be too much for me.
27 years old and only a few years of difference would be fine with me even if the woman would be older than me, so go ahead and hit that guy up.

5 years? Sounds okay for me. In my case I would be worried about self-sustenance (I'm a student and a 5 years older girl would probably be working and self-sufficient). I suggest you try.

Also, I think I would be hesitant if the girl was 30. That's not twenty-something and I think it's interesting how our numeral system affects our thinking.

Most guys don't care that much about getting with a girl that's a few years older. Other women tend to care though, and other guys will tease your guy about it. He might not care, but you will, especially given you're already panicking about it without anyone having said anything. It's not fair, but it's how the world works with older women/younger men.

Guys don't give two damns about your career, education, car, or house.

27 isn't too old, but you are close to hitting the wall, so you should be in a relationship soon.

Men only care about age when they're +40 themselves and the women around them are used-up roasties that wasted their youth on the cock carousel. A 4-year gap on two people on their twenties is nothing.

+2/-3 was my range until I hit 23 where it became +4/-4. You seem like a self sufficient and responsible adult which are good, attractive qualities but the 23 year old may not care about that stuff yet

Pretty sure no one cares if you are both above 20

This isn't true at all. Older woman younger man does get a lot of jeering. For some reason people find it much more objectionable than a guy getting with a girl young enough to be his daughter.

Of course, nowadays, a few years doesn't make a difference once you're at that point. But much beyond that and you do get some really judgmental people.

i was 23 working with a 27 year old woman at my old job. i didn't really try that hard to get with her, but it definitely wasnt her age that made her unappealing. she was boring as fuck.

honestly, just dont be boring.

>Your 27
>He is 23

No one gives a fuck, seriously. If it was 20 years, ya people might think you're weird but 4 years (or less in this case) is absolutely nothing.

>im decently successfull i think? i have my own place. a car. good credit. a degree. i dunno if guys even care about those things in women.

Trust me, they do. Just like women care about a stable partner.

If it was a ten year gap, then it would depend on how comfortable you are with it. Otherwise, a four year difference really isn't that surprising. Don't worry too much about it, but I would also advise not hooking up with coworkers. Makes for a strange environment if things go sour.

since I have been 21 I have been constantly trying to bang women in there 40's.

Age and experience is such a turn on for me and that is no joke.

Just follow the half your age plus 7 rule.

You're 27. Half your age is 13.5. 7 plus that is 20.5.

The lowest age you should be dating by that protocol is a 20 1/2 year old.

Or just do whatever you want who cares

I'm 27 too and my boyfriend is 23, he's never minded me being a few years older than he is

Kek I'm talking to a 24yo right now being 23 and I'm already regretting it.

If you're older than me it makes me feel unmanly, period.

As long as you spread your legs for him he'll be happy.

>woman's age dictates whether he feels manly or not
If you can feel manly only when interacting with inferior women, you are a girl in a drag, not a man.

Thats not even 5 years, youre more than fine here

You probably do look silly if you are financially responsible and have your shit together yet hang out with kids that don't.

However, if you are still having schoolgirl crushes on young guys and trying to empress them and their buddies perhaps 23 is too old.

OUCH

Clock's ticking, roastie.

Your age is fine OP, don't worry about it. Just worry whether or not the guy is mature enough himself not that being 23 is necessarily the issue here.

However, if you're going to date coworkers you guys have to work out what will happen if you end up breaking up. If you're ok with this guy talking to other women after your relationship didn't work out then whatever.

i know this is just an user thread that everyone will forget eventually but i still have trouble being completely honest here. i guess years of self censoring irl will do that to you

wow really? im gonna be honest there is a dude at work that looks like he's 15 years older than his gf its kinda weird but then i look at myself and realize i've liked guys who were like 20 or whatever before.

dang...well i think i'll find a guy before 40, i dont know if i will before 30 though. thats only 2.5 years that i have.

i know right yeah..

i mean...im not too panicked. i just wanna make sure i'm not like...being weird. to be compltely honest he is 4.5 years younger than me.but he is so mature he could definitely teach me things about life i feel.

the wall?!! is 30 the wall
can i get like a link to what this 'wall' is that everyone talks about. is this the euphemism for what it means to be too old to get an alpha cute boi

you know i was thinking the other day that i wouldn't mind dating a guy in his early 40's. they have money, maybe only 1 kid that is past their brat stage (over 12 years old) and most 40 year olds ive seen who take decent care of themselves look pretty good. i think maybe i should look for guys in that age range? they might want me more then an 18 year old since i still have my looks and i'm decently responsible. and most 18 year olds dont want a guy in their early 40's so maybe thats an advantage i have? i dunno.

i hate this world

im so boring too ):

thank you ):

you know lately i've been getting the vibe he is only mildly intersted in me. he will invite me somtimes, and then seem disinterested other times.

my ex boyfriend was obsessed with older girls too. i guess if i really cant find a guy by the time i'm 30 theres always a chance to look for guys like you who like experienced women

I'm 49, forget that kid and come to me. lol.

Age is just numbers, an equal level of maturity (and immaturity) is what counts.
Can we be serious when we need to be serious? & can we laugh at silly jokes when we want to do that?

whats wrong with having schoolgirl crushes ;-;

where would i be without Jow Forums's tough love

I prefer not to date women older than I am, but it's just a preference. With even basic good traits, I'd date someone my age, and for slightly unusually good traits, I'd date someone a year older. I don't think any number of good traits could make me date someone 5 years older, though. There are just too many decent opportunities with younger girls.

>inferior women
user...

It changes from person to person, but VERY generally speaking it would be an obstacle BUT bigger gaps have been bridged in the past.
Go ahead and give it a shot anyway, if he invites you to hang out that means he doesn't think you two are from 'different worlds' so to speak, which means your chances are fairly reasonable.

haha aww. well you do sound pretty cool user thank you ):

im thinking maybe i could just get super serious about my career and attend tons of events realted to my career and then find a guy that way. then at least i can knw that we are at the same level or at least trying to get to the same level.

honestly this sounds fair enough. maybe i can work on building my 'extroardinairy' traits so i can attract a 45 year old johnny depp guy haha

someone sounds bitter :3c

You strike me as very naive. The world is not run on your social hierarchy ideals. Is ambition important to you? Have you ever given thought as to why? That 45 year old Johnny Depp isn't going to be interested in you.

You need to figure yourself out if you want to do things right, but you're also 5 years late on the process. The reality is that you have a time limit simply because you're female -- feminine qualities fade with maturity and this is inescapable. You don't need advice about this latest crush. You need wisdom.

Just to give you an idea of what happens, my 30 year old manager once decided to date a high school boy. they moved out of state when he graduated.

his parents were pissed, but hey, the guy was into it.

No he will want to smash your puss puss regardless. But you will probably realize you have many differences are incompatible if you enter a relationship.

Build your career, make more £, but l'd say not to put too much into dating people from work.

I know these days its harder to find trustworthy people who don't want to just use each other for sex.
Yet will all the tech it seems even more confusing than ever.

>do you guys really care about age? be honest

I'm 30 and wouldn't date above 22. But I'm only one guy, not everyone is the same.

That's pretty unusual.

>inferior women
As opposed to?

my fucking sides.

valid point though

Nah we do. Having two people with a decent job in a relationship instead of just one can be the difference between exotic holidays three times a year and retiring in a house worth a million (or two in dollars). Or a 200k house and domestic trips. Dat disposable income.

I prefer younger personally yeah but it's really, really easy to overcome this if you don't suck. It's really some kind of weak instinct I think and dudes who refuse to date older probably don't think of women as people so whatever. Personally I have a crush on someone older than me right now because she's a good person.

>i have my own place. a car. good credit. a degree. i dunno if guys even care about those things in women.
You acknowledge it yourself. They sre of course fine to have for yourself, but it's not usually stuff men give a shit about in women.
Give him something other girls can't, yet every guy wants.
>not a thot
>look presentable
>make him feel comfortable around you
That's literally ALL you need to make a guy fall for you. Yet most thots can't.

I'm 20 and I'd screw anything that gave me attention

as long as your not a single mom and stay relatively fit, your ok in my book.

(27/2)+7= 21.5

The youngest you can date is a 22 year old, so you are safe.

>Am a 26 yr old female
>Bf is 24
>Have had multiple relationships with guys 2-4 years younger over the years.

Some dudes are just all about it. Then again, some dudes also have an oedipal complex. But also some guys like it because older women have that air of "I have my shit together" about them, emotionally and financially.

27 to 23 is not that much of an age cap.

You forgot to call me an incel

I dated a girl 5 years older than me (19-24) and it was the most meaningful relationship of my life. Personally as a guy I don't mind the age gap at all.

Good luck!

I'm 25 and dating an older woman doesn't bother me in the least. On a related topic, I also like dating girls that are around my height or taller. A lot of guys are intimidated by these kinds of things for some reason but I welcome it.

you are way over thinking this.

>>do you have a vagina?
guys will want you. dont sweat it. have you let this guy you have a crush on know you like him?
or does he just see you as a hang out buddy?

guys are easy to read
hungry = hungry
horny = horny
etc no hidden signals needed. if you dont let him know how you feel, how can he react?

If you're just looking for sex, it probably doesn't matter that you're 27 and he's 23.
If you want to get married, it probably does.

user im kidding theres no way im kidding a johnny depp dude

18 and 30 is kinda.....

damn thats a little too big of an age gap. i hope htat doesn't happen to me. haha

user thats so sweet ;-;

Stop robbing the cradle and get a man your own age. No 23 year old wants a used up roastie

For me it's the opposite. My fiance is 2 years older than me and (obviously) we're excited to get married. But I feel on average more sexually attracted to younger women (and would really never want to date/marry someone who was much younger than me). But that's just me I guess. 4 years for the OP isn't average, but it's really not far enough to be an issue at all, but it very much depends on the guy.

>im decently successfull i think? i have my own place. a car. good credit. a degree. i dunno if guys even care about those things in women.
I don't want to make a dichotomy that's too strict here, but the sort of guy that don't care about this, are either guys who prefer younger women in the first place because they (on average) are more attractive without putting much work into their looks, more innocent, and not to sound creepy, more childish/cute, which is definitely something some guys want, especially if they are mostly into relationships for the fun and sex. Other guys might not care about your skills and value beyond being a mother/housewife and are more traditional. These two groups can certainly overlap.

But there's guys who value those sort of things a lot, and even primarily, as well. I certainly do, as long as the woman is attractive and has good values, her smarts, responsibility and success are pretty important to me. Keep in mind that most 23-yo guys are not that mature, and are probably mostly looking for short-term relationships if you're in America at least. So get to know your 'crush' (lol) and what he's like, if he shows interest in a relationship and not just sex, then he might be a good catch. Good luck OP.

congrats user. im a little jelly though too

also I dont understand what you mean about ambition. ambition is the desire to be successfull, and there is not universal definition of success.some men define success as just being in love. my ex is dating a girl who isn't as attractive as I am (not trying to sound cocky, just being honest) and she can't do anything for herself, and she is almost 30 and overweight, yet he was attracted to her. this guy makes almost 30 dollars an hour.

Just go for him
Jow Forums hasn't ever had anything fucking useful to say about 'what X wants' because it's fucking Jow Forums
Just look at the absolute fucking state of this place. Everyone here is just a keyboard warrior because they know they'd get their asses kicked acting like this in real life
That's all most of the internet is, people posturing tough because they're too much of a little bitch to say shit like "men don't deserve rights" and "all women over 25 have no dateable value." They know they'd get their asses flattened for being stupid, whether literally or metaphorically.

Just go and try
And fucking ignore Jow Forums while you're at it, this place needs its plug pulled ever since moot took off

You are the token hot older chick. If you want some hot young cock go for it.

If you want a relationship go for guys in their 30s.

Thanks, but what are you jelly about?
