Age range

Why are we infantilizing adults? Interpersonal relationships are complex and nuanced; we can acknowledge and even warn against the potential dangers of severe age-gap relationships without insulting the autonomy and choices of those involved. These neo-puritanical bullshit tendencies creeping in on the left needs to stop; it's a trojan horse for the next generation of conservatives. Reject non-nuanced conservative-bate thinking.

What on earth is going on with that picture? Apparently the main source is this picture here.

Who processed it and why?

Happily married but from what I’ve encountered in the wild, I wouldn’t/couldn’t do anything under 28 or so. It’s a completely different worldview.

Half your age plus seven.

Shit’s not hard, guys.

Nah on tinder it's 18 to 118 for me. Keep it legal, don't hurt anybody, have fun.

How do people deal with getting older when the hottest girls are out of your age range.

I was hoping as I get older women I'm most attracted to would get older. Seems my standards are just lowering but a 20 year is still banging.

In my experience, it doesn't matter what you set your age or distance range to in Tinder, because you're going to get people 10 years older or younger and a hundred miles farther away than you specify anyway.

Divorced? Who the hell can even afford to get married anymore...

As an actual 40 YO divorced dust that used apps for a bit, I felt weird doing 10 +/-, but I can't imagine there are THAT many guys with such a wide range.

As a 40 year old dude I don't think I'd be setting my age range to that upper bound if I were to be divorced. More like 35 and that's with large caveats.

You mean 18-99? Haven't used tinder in ~7 years or so, but I believe there was an upper limit. Found out by trial and error that apparently some women enter their year of birth instead of their age, when I matched with someone who was allegedly 97 years old.

I thought this was the default setting until the user goes in to edit preferences. It was doing that to me until I went in to stop it from flinging my profile at literally everyone.

Isn't the rule of thumb half your age plus 7?

So 27 is cool for a 40year old?

Sometimes women want a real man with real skills, not a 25-year-old boy living with his parents. Young healthy women are attractive. Win-win.

If you're rated X, you're some kinda gold even men turning silver try to make

And they'd go younger if they were legally allowed to, unfortunately

FOR REAL lmao. These guys are so freaking gross. Anyone more than 6 years younger looks like they have baby face, no thanks, its so creepy at that point.

Well it may seem outlandish, but this is the age range that guys truly think about. At least it's honest. I know everyone will say "I don't," well done for putting forth the effort to maintain a social mask of being above it all - but you're not. In the west, we associate youth with beauty and desirability, so it's no wonder men go after school girls (or younger). Shame, shame on them for being so human! The rest of us are above this sort of behavior!
