Susan Noles is open to dating younger men, but not too young.

In a recent sitdown, Noles opened up about what she is looking for in a man and how open she is to dating a younger gentleman.

Susan Noles is willing to date younger men

Susan Noles might be open to dating younger men, but she isn’t particularly interested in dating a man who is much younger than her. Noles revealed her dating preferences during an interview with Us Weekly. While she thinks the active nature of younger men appeals, she wants to ensure she’s on the same page and season of life as her next partner. She said she would probably date men 10 to 12 years younger than her, but no younger than that. Even then, the younger man would have to bring something special to the table.

Noles, a wedding officiant, is 67, so her would-be suitors would need to be at least 55 years old. She isn’t opposed to dating men who are a bit older than her, either. While she and Gerry Turner didn’t find a love connection on The Golden Bachelor, his age wasn’t part of the problem. Turner was 72 when the series premiered.
