Following a previous question, what age is more appropriate for a 23 year old woman to date.

I've gone 20. As a 30 year old female, there's nothing I'd ever want from a 20 year old male! That decade is too big of a difference in terms of life experience and maturity.

I think back to who I was at 20 and no way would I have been a good match for a 30 year old with a child 🤣 I was enjoying being 20 too much.

A 23 year old should enjoy being 23 and therefore personally I'd say the 20 year old is a better match. There's plenty of time to be 33 and grown up

People mature with damage not age so age doesn’t matter. There are 20 year olds who are more responsible than 50 year olds… honestly it’s all down to character and compatibility with your daughter. And of course about who’s really into looking for real love and not lust needs.

Honestly I hate seeing people judging people with age. There are lots of more things than just age. Of course age can be a starting point to think about maturity on the basis of how much that specific person could have experienced in life. When my husband was 20 was so much more mature than his peers, he left back home to come to canada earn and support his family back home and build his life too. At 25 he opened his own restaurant whilst his friends were partying and getting spoiled. Lots of people tried to tempt him into getting spoiled but he’s always said he has a family to look after and a future to build. He’s worked so hard and is sooo much more mature than all his friends.

same way a 30 year old woman is more closer to a 27 year old man than she is with a 40 year old man.

My sister and me are only 4 years apart and we grew up watching the same things and listening to the same music. We both even had the same phone brands whilst growing up.

So honestly it’s all down to what your daughter is seeking..

Whoever respects and treats her well.

I wouldnt go out with neither of them! The scenarios is I’m 23 so personally I certainly wouldn’t want to go younger especially as young as 20, cuz that person can’t even legally buy himself a drink and they just left their freaking teen years like yesterday. It’s like a newborn and a 3yr old toddler, so much development happens within those 3yrs for babies so I view it the same way with young adults. I always thot it was weird when ppl past 21 would be in 18+ plus clubs smh. Bt I also wouldn’t be dating someone who is 33 & Im 23. I turned 34 in November & I don’t have anything in common with a women 10 yrs younger than me so idk how a man is dating a woman 10yrs younger that him, cuz what do they have to talk abt. At 23, ur entering the mid twenties so I would say date someone who is same age as or up to late twenties :)

my same thoughts. I would never date someone younger than me. I spoke to someone 7 years older than me once I felt like it was a pretty large age gap and I never did it again.

Either is fine imo. Depends on the character and quality of the man

Can't she find a nice 27 year old? 🤣

what’s wrong with a 20 year old ? He’s only 3 years younger than her which is a very small age gap. 20-23 doesn’t make any difference expect maybe you can’t buy alcohol until your 21 by law

Women mature faster than men. Most women prefer to date a bit older. 10 years is probably a bit too old, they may find it hard to relate.

How old are u incognito?

30

I picked 20 just because I think a 10 year age gap is too old for anyone under 25. But I'm 22 and would date neither ages. Most 20 year Olds are just not ready to settle (and I have a kid and the majority wouldn't be ready for that) and my BD is almost 10 years older and I'm pretty sure he only dated me because the vast majority of people with developed frontal lobes wouldn't have.

I would prefer the 33yo man. Nothing good comes from 20yo men. Too young, too much life to live ahead of them. Trying to be serious w a 20 year old is unrealistic. I’d rather a somewhat more mature 33 yo that’s already been w “other women besides me” so it’s not an issue. Cuz 95% of the time w a 20yo that’s will be an issue that leads to infidelity or plain breaking up! My son’s father is 10 years older than me and we’re pretty much on the same maturity level, he’s def a bit wiser and calmer which is nice lol. My dad and stepmom are also 10 yrs apart and have been together for 12 years.

I'm 27 and my partner is 38, It works for us, We met through a mutual friend and hit it off, I've never been with a man that's been more respectful or kind, However i think that's more down to the way his mother raised him, we've been together almost 5 years and I've never been happier. Realistically once 2 people are adults age doesn't factor into much as long as they're consenting adults and it didn't start when one was a teen etc x

33! I had a baby and was living independently at 19 though and at 22, met my partner who was 28. At 23, a 20yr old would have been too much of a baby maturity wise.

I mean I’m on dating apps and there are still men who are 40, 44 and 46 who think they still have time to play in the field. I received messages from these men saying things like “Hey Sexy”, “You have nice ****” and they are 10-16 years older than me.
I’m 30.

And I’ve had messages from a man as young as 24 saying “I know your older than me, but I’d love to take you out” “Your beautiful bdw”. From a 24 year old man. Who is only 6 years younger than me

It seems the younger guy clearly has more respect and is more decent than these old pervy men.

Absolutely men at any age can be pervy i think alot of older men on dating apps tend to go full force to get women's attention, I guess ultimately it comes down to the individual man, regardless of age. I was just sharing my experience with an older man, I think the 23 year old woman can only really decide what one to date once she gets to know them abit better, I haven't seen the 1st part of your question so I've missed alot of context.. it does appear from your replies you'd prefer her to date the younger man and you have more information than everyone else on the situation so hopefully you can help her abit more than than strangers on the Internet 😊

I would choose 33. I met my now husband when I was 23 years old. We survived a 5 years long distance relationship. Then we got together, married and have a daughter. He is respectful, calm and loves me. Couldn’t find better. My sister has 10 years difference with her husband too and they have been since 15 years. They love each other a lot and have 2 kids. So I think 10 years is perfect if you want a mature and serious relationship

Men have different maturity levels, the 20 yo could act 33 and vise versa😂😂

that’s what I thought men have different maturity levels what’s age got to do with anything. There’s some 40 year old men who act immature compared to a 25 year old lol. Just because it worked out for them does mean it will for others.
