If even age doesn't seem like it matter about being mature, I'm still never going to be interested in getting into a relationship with someone too younger or too older more than 10 years.
Age doesn't matter and I can never date someone that's too old because it will be too boring or someone that's too young because it will look as a childish play.

What age would you consider to be too old and too young for you to date someone?
For me, my partner can't be older than me with 6 years, anything that's more than that looks old in my eyes. I can't be older than my partner with 5 years because it will look like we are doing childish play.

I know it will work for other people but to me, I never like it that way.
 
I tried dating a 19-year-old when I was 29. That didn't go over well. I should've realized someone that age just coming into the fruition of adulthood would still be immature and lack understanding of certain aspects of human beings. I would probably only date someone 5 - 7 years younger/older than me at this point.

Yeah 10-year age gap can be challenging even if age is just a number. But maturity levels and life experiences matters here. I don't really care about the age, if I’m able to get want I wanted. I’m fine!
 
I am cool with a two to five years age gap in my relationships. I don't get involved with anyone that is more than five years older or five years younger than me. Any age difference beyond five years, I always feel we are from different generations.
 
Many years back, I'd say it doesn't matter as long as they're 18. Few years after that, I said only those who could buy me a beer (21+). A few years after 30, I said once their brain has completely developed (26+).

Nowadays, I guess it just depends. I'm already in a committed relationship with a man 6 years younger than me. I guess if chemistry wasnt an issue, I'd still want someone over 30 at this point.

It is about being with someone that understands you better and aligns with your goals. That is the first thing that I consider when I think about going into any relationship.

I can never date any lady who's older than me. It's never going to work out because a lot of them are very disrespectful thinking you can't correct them because they are older than you. It's a risk I wouldn't be willing to take with any lady.

A man ought to be older than the woman that he is dating, but what happens when a man finds an older woman to be attractive? Just curious to know.

Yeah, it is right to be in love or relationship with someone as far as the chemistry fits better. That is surely the way to go. As long as I am cool with such a person, age should just be a number.

I'm going to personalise this and say if I found out she's older, I would walk away from the relationship. It's a deal breaker for me in a relationship no matter how beautiful the lady looks.

Not to drag this further, but I want to know if you do this when the relationship is at the early stage or when she's fallen deeply in love with you?

It's at the early stage. I wouldn't be doing anything blind in any relationship. I would have all the information from the beginning especially on or before the first date.

This is a good mentality. Knowing who you want to get into a relationship with even before you start it. The information that you have can help you decide which way that you are going with the person. I like that 👌
