As a lady, I would prefer to date someone older than me for a few reasons. I have also dated someone younger than me and I sometimes wish I didn't.
Older partners often have more life experience and maturity. They've been through different situations and can offer valuable insights and guidance. This can create a sense of security and stability in the relationship.
Older partners may be more established in their careers and lives, which can be attractive. They might have a better understanding of what they want in life and be more focused on their goals. This can lead to a more balanced and fulfilling relationship dynamic.
Older partners might also be more financially stable. While money isn't the most important thing in a relationship, it can certainly relieve some of the stress and pressure that comes with financial uncertainty.
Dating someone older can provide opportunities for personal growth and learning. They may introduce you to new perspectives, hobbies, and experiences that you might not have encountered otherwise.
Although some younger people are more matured than the older ones, I would always settle for an older matured guy. I don't know about other people but when I date someone I'm older than, I don't feel comfortable. I kind of look down on the person and always treat the person as a child.
Age is just a number, and what matters most in a relationship is compatibility, mutual respect, and shared values. If someone older meets these criteria and makes me happy, then I would definitely consider dating them.
