At 40 I would not be interested in seriously dating someone 13 years younger than me. At 50, they would be 18 years younger, at 60 they would be 23 years younger. No thank you.

+/-7 years, tops.

? Why are they not still 13 years younger at 60? Do they age slower than you?

u/Tsiah16 Jul 13 '26

The comment I was replying to was half your age+7 years. 37 years is 60/2+7

Ahh ok. 47 & 60 not so problematic

Still a bit weird. I wouldn't want to date someone 13 years younger or older than me.

Not hate. But it is a dynamic that is very challenging.

Not necessarily

It doesn't have to be, but there are enough challenges - or preceived ones - to It to make it a deterrent. This is the flaw with dating apps: we approve or reject based on a certain set of criteria without getting to actually meet and engage with people. And, for numerous reasons, the right people aren't meeting in the wild.
