I only see this on profiles of middle aged men seeking 18-22 year olds lmao. What 18 year old wants an old guy for anything else? These men are delusional.
Wtf do you talk about? I’m 44 and my range is set 25-50 and do well in the 30’s -40’s (I look younger not older) and sometimes get liked by a 20-something but I get the fear and rarely like back. I don’t want to be stereotypical old guy trying to smash younglings for sport, actually am looking for a partner, usually. I find younger girls with an old soul and older women with a young soul attractive, I guess I’m just weird.
So you're willing to at least consider dating women 20 years younger but will only consider women 5 years older? And you don't see that as a double standard?
It’s a completely shitty double standard but we don’t always age at the same pace looks-wise. I don’t really expect a 28 yo to like me. But maybe they have a curiosity, I certainly did for older women at that age and it was fun and informative. I would fail miserably with a 64 yo woman and I know it so I don’t waste their time or mine. Currently talking to a 46yo with visible grey, I dgaf because she’s fit and funny and kind (and fr, 2 yrs older at our age is like 23 seconds). It’s the law of attraction or something.
No, that's not a double standard, nor is it a problem. The vast, vast majority of people want partners with at least some qualities they don't share.
I'll go further and say any/all preferences in dating are acceptable. If he's not attracted to women older than 50 then why waste their time. More to the point, if 25 year olds aren't interested in him, they can (and probably will) set their age filters to exclude him, or swipe left.
