For many Americans, age plays a very small role in that decision-making process. But others have a preferred dating age range that they take quite seriously. For this campaign, we conducted a survey to learn more about the dating age range preferences of the average American.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Methodology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our survey ran for 10 days in February 2022 and received over 3,500 responses overall. We asked questions about the largest age gaps people have had in relationships, if a person\u2019s income or occupation affects how young or old people will date, and if people would rather date someone older or younger than themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dating Age Range Insights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1485\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shaneco-avgdatingrange-graphic-v2_1-1.png\" alt=\"A table depicting some of the most popular dating age range preferences in the U.S.\" class=\"wp-image-6767 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shaneco-avgdatingrange-graphic-v2_1-1.png 800w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shaneco-avgdatingrange-graphic-v2_1-1-162x300.png 162w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shaneco-avgdatingrange-graphic-v2_1-1-207x384.png 207w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shaneco-avgdatingrange-graphic-v2_1-1-768x1426.png 768w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shaneco-avgdatingrange-graphic-v2_1-1-380x705.png 380w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/1485;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The people of Delaware and Minnesota strongly prefer to date someone their own age, but there are actually more states that prefer a partner that\u2019s a little bit older (1-5 years).

For example, while men were split about 50\/50, 70% of women agreed that dating someone too young (when compared to their preferred dating range) is probably going to mean dating someone that\u2019s immature. Meanwhile, about three in four men prefer to date someone younger than themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Divorce is an interesting point of contention between generations. For example, the overwhelming majority of Baby Boomers (89%) don\u2019t mind if a partner has been divorced before, but over one in four Millennials (28%) say it would make them reconsider pursuing a relationship with an individual if said individual had been divorced before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Would you Rather Meet Someone Online or in Person?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"685\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shaneco-avgdatingrange-graphic-v2_4-1.png\" alt=\"A table depicting the online and offline dating preferences of the various genders and generations\" class=\"wp-image-6770 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shaneco-avgdatingrange-graphic-v2_4-1.png 800w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shaneco-avgdatingrange-graphic-v2_4-1-300x257.png 300w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shaneco-avgdatingrange-graphic-v2_4-1-448x384.png 448w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shaneco-avgdatingrange-graphic-v2_4-1-768x658.png 768w, https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/shaneco-avgdatingrange-graphic-v2_4-1-380x325.png 380w\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/685;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Even in the age of the internet, the majority of people prefer to meet others in person rather than online regardless of gender or generation. For example, about 80% of both men and women prefer to meet someone in person, while just 20% prefer meeting online, and the furthest any of the generations get from those same percentages are Millennials (28% prefer to meet others online and 72% prefer in person) and Baby Boomers (85% prefer to meet in person and 15% prefer to meet online).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you can\u2019t always get what you want. Even though the majority of our respondents prefer to meet others in person, 22% of baby boomers, 32% of Gen Xers, 43% of millennials, and 38% of Gen Zers say they typically meet people online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Closing Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As it turns out, maybe people out there do have a preferred dating age range, but at the end of the day, love is love.
