37-year-old dood, 26-year-old chick, of course.

I'm on a coed sports team with an older friend and he has a crush on this girl whose also on our team. She just turned 26 (my friend turns 38 later this year). Does he have any chance at her?

This.

An attractive, young-looking, personable 38-year-old guy can get many (although not most) girls in that age group. Add money/success to the mix and you expand the pool of girls he can get.

There will be girls who will be turned off by this age difference and no amount of looks or money will sway them otherwise. But there will also be girls who prefer this age difference to dating someone close to their age or slightly younger.

If the girl likes older-looking doods and doesn't see much in common with guys closer to her age he could be successful. But without knowing more about her dating market value and personal preferences/dating patterns/what she wants out of a relationship I can't make a judgment.

Why doesn't he just approach her? Worst-case scenario is she says no. She's not going to cut his dick off. Best case scenario is that he finds himself dating a girl that he likes. I don't see any downside.

37's *later* 30s.

Girls in the 28-32 age group who have the highest dating market value can still do well within their age group without having to go older. To maximize quantity as well as quality his target age group should be 33-38.

Again, this depends on the guy and the girl. If the guy isn't particularly attractive or doesn't have many other options he might not have a choice. If the girl is particularly attractive and they get along he might not care about her age, especially if he's looking to settle down.

I've never had problems dating within this age group and neither have any of my friends who are also in this age group. Judging from the comments of the single girls on XO who are also in this age group, it seems like they don't have to "go older" to get dates either.

Single as in unmarried, yes.

Some of us are in relationships. Rowan's dating someone. Rowan also isn't a fan of a large age gap. Adidas has certain commitment issues (from what she tells us) but it doesn't look like she has any problem getting guys. My BF is 28. Of my friends who got married or are getting married in their 30s only 1 is marrying someone 5+ years older. The others are marrying or have married men within 3 years of their age. The other one of my girlfriends who got married in her thirties and is in a 5-year age difference marriage is the older of the two.

I'm not so sure that the quickest path to marital bliss for any of us would be to date in the 37-40 age group.

A girl who rejects him because she can find younger men and a girl who rejects him because she'd rather be single than deal with a large age gap produce the same result from his point of view, so it doesn't really matter.

Yep - it's more a preference than a necessity from what I've seen.

Not one of my friends has said to me "crap I'm having trouble getting a date with men my own age, looks like I'll have to go almost a decade older."

I have had a few friends tell me that they prefer older (5+) men for the same reasons that girls here state that they prefer older men. But it's not a universal preference by any stretch.

I was going to say something about how large age gaps like this were less common in American/Western European culture but could be much more accepted in Russia and elsewhere.

Don't know if the average 38-year-old with some degree of wealth would limit his selection pool to girls from certain countries just so he can keep his dating in the 18-22 age group. That might not even be a feasible option for some.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER IT'S YOU OR NOT. Just follow the advice in this thread if it is you. Go for it. It's a large age gap but some chicks are into that shit. Other chicks don't care about age or general initial attraction if there's a personality click. Just be cool. A slow burn might work best. Get to know her to see if you even like her as much as you think you do/would. Young doesn't always mean young in the head but I've met some pretty immature 26s.

yeah, ultimately - if the guy is attractive to her & there's chemistry, age is just a number.

This is highly dependent on the girl. I think there's a pretty wide range of opinions when it comes to age gaps. He might as well give it a shot.

I'm 25 and might be going out with an attractive 39 yr old later this week... I was attracted to a decently attractive, but incredibly brilliant and intriguing 42 yr old prof. before so i'm willing to give it a shot. I'm attractive & can easily get hot guys within my age range, even younger... but i'm just dating different types of guys for the experience, not sure what i'm looking for exactly. i'm going out with a 24 yr old personal trainer, who doesn't have much in common with me in terms of personality (except we're both into fitness) but who is really goodlooking and we have some chemistry, so willing to give it a shot.

26 yr old girl on a co-ed sports team = ugly and desperate

she'll take pretty much anything she can get.

You're both disgusting olds. If you want to and you think you can get away with it, go for it. Who gives a fuck?
