Are you talking about mid /late 30s going out with a 20 something? That I have no idea about. Doesn't sound very desirable on either side as hopefully you'd be in very different places in your lives.
Well look at you!

OP, I'm no longer in the dating scene, but when I was I almost exclusively dated men 10-15 years my senior. At 27, the gentleman I was in a relationship with was 41, and the following year, the gentleman was 39.

Not really. They may have issues, but they are still physically attractive, so can land most guys.
So will tend to go for guys who are wealthy and or good looking. Of course there are exceptions but thats the general rule.

How long that relationship lasts is a different story.

Yeah, age is just a number. I would be with someone 18 or 60, assuming I was sexually attracted.

How about this, which person is more experienced, a 21 year old woman or a 40 year old man? Some would say it is automatically the 40 year old man, but what if I told you this:

  • 21 year old woman, just returned from second tour of combat duty in Afghanistan with the USMC. She has killed 10 bad guys using her M-16 and three using her knife. Several people from her unit were killed while she was deployed there.
  • 40 year old man who has never left US soil and always lived in a low crime area
I would argue that the 21 year old has lived more life and seen more of the real world than the 40 year old could ever hope to (not that he would wish to experience that).


So it all depends on the individuals.

Again I'm talking about your average joe who's a blue collar guy. Bc of course if your mega wealthy and/or super good looking....your experience is skewed.
Depends on how much younger you're looking for. For a mid 30's guy, you're actually going to have a better shot with a woman 1-5 years younger than you will with a woman your own age, in general. Any younger than that, and you'd better have something else to bring to the table. It skews HARD once you get 10 years younger or more. So if you're 35, you're ok dating women in their early 30's, late 20's, or possibly as low as 25/26. Younger than that will NOT be easy for you.

My last gf/FWB was 27 years younger - she was about 30. She picked me, and it lasted 2 years. She was smart, attractive, responsible, employed, child-free, and sexy. She wasn't interested in my money, and even took me out sometimes. She was interested in me for who I am and for sex.
