A lot of gays have strict rules about the kinda guys they date. We have already established that with our previous poll about what guys would not accept in a potential boyfriend, physically speaking. (Deodorant, anyone?) So, now it was time to talk about age. Yes, that old tune! Are most guys comfortable dating men that are 5, 10 or even 20 years younger or older than them? Or would we all just rather date someone our own age? Let's have a look, the results could surprise you!
ManCentral recently polled over 3,000 members to find out how much younger or older they were all willing to go when they were looking to go on a date or finding Mr.Right or Mr.Tonight, you get the point!

This was a two part question that started out with: How much older are most guys willing to go when looking for a boyfriend, fuck buddy, sugar daddy etc... and the options were A) 10 years or more B) 5 years is enough C) I like them when they've got one foot in the grave D) A couple of years older and E) I ONLY date guys my age.
Most were quite open-minded when it came to dating older guys as a whopping 39% said they would not have a problem dating a guy that is 10 years older than they are. 33% said they would date a guy only 5 years older. 17% said they would date someone that was a couple of years older. So all in all 89% of you said that you would date someone older. It's good to see that we are keeping our options open!
6% of the members asked date guys who are their age ONLY. Surprisingly 5% of you said you would date a guy that has got "one foot in the grave." We knew it! There is a little bit of Anna Nicole Smith in some of you!

Part 2 asked how much younger were you willing to go and the options were A) 10 years younger B) 5 years younger C) I don't date younger guys D) I ONLY date guys my age and E) a couple of years younger.
A huge percentage, 53% said they would date someone 10 years younger while 18% said they would date someone 5 years younger and 13% said they would date a guy who is a couple years younger. That's a total of 84% that would date a younger guy. Again keeping the door wide open for romance! 10% said they don't date younger guys at all and finally 6% said the ONLY date dudes their age.
So there you have it. It is all very clear now and I think that we can all conclude that when it comes to age we really couldn't care less about your date of birth! 89% said they would date someone older and 84% said they would date someone younger, so now when someone says: "oh he's too young/old for me" look them straight in the face and tell them:"shut the fuck up and just ask them out!"
