I prefer someone close in age, but attitude is more important to me. If a man calls himself and "old man" I lose all interest. To me they are resistant to change or learning about new things. I had coffee with a man 5 years younger then myself a few years ago, and he said to me "If I had known that I was going live this long, I would have taken better of myself". Red flags for me. He was in terrible health and proud of it. Each day is an adventure and I want to share my life with someone who is inquisitive and enjoys each day, instead of complaining about it.
Age would be a factor in finding a mate, IMO. But it's not a big factor in dating. If that's confusing to anyone, it's probably because they believe finding a mate is the purpose of dating. I believe a mate is a possible outcome from dating, not the objective.
I always liked my woman to be younger it makes me feel younger and i look younger to.
but now i have a gray beard but feel younger.'
