Curious what people's age ranges for dating are. There's the classic "half your age plus seven" rule, but wondering if that's actually followed.

Please comment below with your age, gender, and range.

24M, 21-28. I think as I approach edge cases (21, 27-28) the standards go up

I only find really good dates with 22/23 year olds, which I guess is backed by the evidence in this thread lol

32M, 28-40

29F, range 23-43. But young guys tend to always approach me. I have a baby face and I’m skinny so I look like a high schooler 😂

30 m ny/nj. US citizen. Moved as a teenager. INTJ. Single since I figured I’m not fighting the biological clock and have all the time in the world to meet someone and get settled.

While the show was staged, there might be truth to the latter part.

I'm in finance/tech FPA, looking to go back to the defense industry for a 25% increase in TC. But wanted to see if I should leverage the new salary with current company to see if they'll match.

Background: got a promotion at current company that didn't come with sufficient increase . After stating my case I was told it would be evaluated next October, which is what prompted the initial job search.

Current TC 103K [88/15], offer 125k base [+discretionary bonus].
