Is 37 and 26 too big an age difference?
Date: May 31st, 2010 12:47 PM Author: burgundy nubile doctorate 37-year-old dood, 26-year-old chick, of course.
I'm on a coed sports team with an older friend and he has a crush on this girl whose also on our team. She just turned 26 (my friend turns 38 later this year). Does he have any chance at her? |

An attractive, young-looking, personable 38-year-old guy can get many (although not most) girls in that age group. Add money/success to the mix and you expand the pool of girls he can get.
There will be girls who will be turned off by this age difference and no amount of looks or money will sway them otherwise. But there will also be girls who prefer this age difference to dating someone close to their age or slightly younger. |

Date: May 31st, 2010 12:52 PM Author: burgundy nubile doctorate This dood doesn't look young. He is tall and works in PE though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1325985&forum_id=2#15125827) |
|
Date: May 31st, 2010 1:01 PM Author: Cyan hall If the girl likes older-looking doods and doesn't see much in common with guys closer to her age he could be successful. But without knowing more about her dating market value and personal preferences/dating patterns/what she wants out of a relationship I can't make a judgment.
Why doesn't he just approach her? Worst-case scenario is she says no. She's not going to cut his dick off. Best case scenario is that he finds himself dating a girl that he likes. I don't see any downside. |

Date: May 31st, 2010 12:50 PM Author: scarlet fluffy orchestra pit legal warrant Depends. I think it's pushing it but it could happen.

Girls in the 28-32 age group who have the highest dating market value can still do well within their age group without having to go older. To maximize quantity as well as quality his target age group should be 33-38. |
|
Date: May 31st, 2010 1:09 PM Author: burgundy nubile doctorate Guys who are 28-32 don't want to date girls in that age group though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1325985&forum_id=2#15125997) |
|
Date: May 31st, 2010 1:14 PM Author: Cyan hall Again, this depends on the guy and the girl. If the guy isn't particularly attractive or doesn't have many other options he might not have a choice. If the girl is particularly attractive and they get along he might not care about her age, especially if he's looking to settle down.
I've never had problems dating within this age group and neither have any of my friends who are also in this age group. Judging from the comments of the single girls on XO who are also in this age group, it seems like they don't have to "go older" to get dates either. |

Date: May 31st, 2010 1:20 PM Author: burgundy nubile doctorate Most of you are about 30 and single. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1325985&forum_id=2#15126097) |

Date: May 31st, 2010 1:23 PM Author: Cyan hall Single as in unmarried, yes.
Some of us are in relationships. Rowan's dating someone. Rowan also isn't a fan of a large age gap. Adidas has certain commitment issues (from what she tells us) but it doesn't look like she has any problem getting guys. My BF is 28. Of my friends who got married or are getting married in their 30s only 1 is marrying someone 5+ years older. The others are marrying or have married men within 3 years of their age. The other one of my girlfriends who got married in her thirties and is in a 5-year age difference marriage is the older of the two.
I'm not so sure that the quickest path to marital bliss for any of us would be to date in the 37-40 age group. |

|
Date: June 1st, 2010 12:18 AM Author: Cyan hall Yep - it's more a preference than a necessity from what I've seen.
Not one of my friends has said to me "crap I'm having trouble getting a date with men my own age, looks like I'll have to go almost a decade older."
I have had a few friends tell me that they prefer older (5+) men for the same reasons that girls here state that they prefer older men. But it's not a universal preference by any stretch. |

No way. If I were rich, single and attractive I would date 18 (or whatever AOC is)-22 year olds. Period. |
|
Date: June 1st, 2010 12:16 AM Author: Cyan hall And that's your preference which you're completely entitled to.
I don't know how much success you or any other man in his mid 30s would have with that age group, or what kinds of women in that age group you'd attract.

|
Date: June 1st, 2010 12:20 AM Author: Cyan hall I was going to say something about how large age gaps like this were less common in American/Western European culture but could be much more accepted in Russia and elsewhere.
Don't know if the average 38-year-old with some degree of wealth would limit his selection pool to girls from certain countries just so he can keep his dating in the 18-22 age group. That might not even be a feasible option for some. |
|
Date: June 1st, 2010 12:26 AM Author: Talented frum senate yarmulke You have to understand, I'm the opposite of the wealthy 38 year old playboy. I'm much younger and laughably poorer.

Date: May 31st, 2010 1:59 PM Author: mauve office knife His sweet spot is probably early 30s. Much lower than that, and he'll deal with a mix of women who are fine with his age and women who will consider it a problem. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1325985&forum_id=2#15126425) |
