I'm 40, I couldn't fathom the effort required to date anyone under the age of 25

The energy required is more a reflection of their extrovertedness, not young age

I'm in my mid 40s and my hard limit is 30. I'm thinking of raising that to 35 after a few bad relationships.

As a 33 year old, I went on a date with a 22 year old and yeah I just couldn't. I felt like I was babysitting. I can date a guy 20 years older but no one younger than me

I know these are just general limits nothing concrete but I just imagined ya rejecting a guy cuz he was born one picosecond after you.

Soo you need more energy to party and keep up with them BUT the key is finding a young one that doesn't know what a healthy relationship looks like. That way you save on having to put effort into the relationship and support them and all that other stuff you need to do with a mature partner

Wait, I was supposed to do that?
