Kimberly, You would love the book Dataclysm (in source notes). So Rudder explored this topic and you are not going to like the answer. Men’s preferred age came out at 20…universally. (The average age on OKC is 29). Women tended to mark their preferences in a three-year window.

I only date men younger than me and I am making no apologies about it. But I really think this question depends on what stage you are at in your life. And also lifestyle. If you are active and healthy, why not date younger?
