Men Over Thirty. When it comes to dating, what's your age cut-off? (feddit.uk)

So I've got a friend at work; just turned thirty. He's perhaps not the smartest tool in the shed, and whilst he does look thirty, I think if we were guessing his age by his level of maturity, we'd place him fairly squarely in the 18-22 age range.

Anyway, 30 has had this ongoing thing with this girl at work. She's 19. He sees nothing wrong with it, and whilst that may be true from a legal standpoint....most of us think it a bit ... untoward at best.

This post isn't about him though. It's about you. What's your age cut-off, both high and low for dating?

People's brains tend to continue developing until the mid-20's. Up until then biology dictates that there will be differences in "planning, prioritizing, and making good decisions". People are different, and developmental factors like maturity can vary a lot from person to person but dating after later 20's was just so much better I'd need a compelling reason to go younger. It's really nice to date a reasonable adult, which happens at different ages for different people.

As for high limits, if the attraction is there that's good enough.
