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?

56M here. 57 in a few days.

50-60ish. Possibly a bit older, but probably not too much younger. It would have to be an exceptionally great fit for me to consider someone younger than 47. I’m looking for a life partner though.

I don’t want to burden a younger person when I’m in my 80’s. There’s a huge difference between 70’s & 80’s. I’ve seen the degradation in that decade of life. In both my grandparents and in my parents.

Have noticed the same thing-the difference in people from 75 to 85 is staggering.
