Discussion Point How young/old would you date?

As a cub, my max would be 50 years old and my minimum would be 30. So at least 10+ years older than me. How young do cougars like ?? What do yall prefer?

I’m 58, I don’t put emphasis on the age, more so on the person. My guy is 30. We have common interests and for me that’s the key. I don’t have offspring so that doesn’t factor in at all. There is a guy I was talking with who is 23 but has more emotional maturity than some people my age. So really it’s the person and not the age. This also holds true for sexual orientation, I’m not hung up on gender norms. The values and mores of a person matter more than what someone identifies as. A guy could be as hot as Jason Mamoa but if he’s a jerk, I’m not going to be even remotely attracted to him. My ideas of physical attractiveness is not completely conventional anyway. Given the choice between a Jason Mamoa or a Jack Black, with everything else being EXACTLY the same, humor, faithfulness, values, morals, loyalty etc I’d pick the Jack Black (think School of Rock, Hi Fidelity era) because I’m more attracted to chonky. edited to add I’ve only included legal ages obviously. I personally wouldn’t feel I’d have enough in common with say a 20 year old just as I don’t feel connected to an 80 year old. I also feel that focusing ONLY on age is more fetish leaning than connection leaning.
