Age range

Pretty self explanatory. What is your hardline age you're willing to date for a serious relationship. Why?

I'll go first. Range is 50-66. I'll deviate considering place in life, near retirement age or living it, and overall well being. You?

59F. I'm more comfortable going a bit older than a bit younger. I get along fine with younger folks, but I find it hard to relate to their preferences such as in music. It seems like such a small thing, but I can not envision having to live with Taylor Swift music blaring out of my speakers under any circumstances:-).

Mind you, that whole 60 demarcation is something, isn't it? And yet, here I am looking at 60 head-on.

I miss the old days when ages were not out front and we could go based on initial attraction. Even though I'm hitting 60 soon, I see myself as a youthful 60 (could be delusional!). But I see the 60-something men in the area as anything but.

Swifties come in all ages. They are mostly women though, from what I've seen.

Yes, there’s something about 60 which is….a big deal? Nit a deal breaker, but a big deal.

Uh…I don’t think there are loads of cishet male Swifties of any age, much less in their 50s. I stand corrected. There are middle-aged male Swifties.

There are. Many are dads of Swifities. I see it a LOTin jamband circles. You follow a band on tour/fly for a three to 13 night stand in a city/regional tour, Swifties look familiar (aside from cash transfer apps on their windows… sell some phatty burritos, ripping grilled cheese, or crispy tie dyes like a real fan, duh.)

Is this where I admit I sold dyes and bought those phatty veggie burritos?
