Kyle Richards Opens Up About Her Dating Preferences: Out With The Old, In With The Youthful

Is Kyle Ready for a New Chapter?

Kyle Richards, the ever-glamorous star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, has been dropping some serious hints about her romantic future. During an engaging chat on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills After Show for Season 15, Episode 10, Kyle made it clear that dating an older man is off the table. The conversation steered into the territory of "ideal" partners and producer-driven questions about whether the ladies of Beverly Hills prefer their men on the older side.

Kyle's Youthful Mindset

Kyle candidly shared, “In my mind and in my heart, in my soul, I’m, like, 27 years old.” She continued to explain that while she doesn't have a strict age limit, she doesn't envision herself with someone older. Her estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky, is only about a year-and-a-half her junior, but Kyle seems to be craving a different vibe these days.

“I think it depends on the person,” Kyle added. “It could be somebody who’s, you know, a little bit older than you, but also acts really young.”

Age is Just a Number… in L.A.

Adding to the playful banter, her co-star Erika Jayne chimed in with a quintessential Beverly Hills perspective: “There’s L.A. age, and then there’s the rest of the country’s age. … So, if you’re 60 in Los Angeles and if you take care of yourself, you probably look 40 to the rest of the nation.”

In Kyle’s eyes, the location also influences how appealing someone might be. She humorously noted that men outside California might have a rugged charm because "they’re doing more things… hauling things around, not having people do s–t for them and getting lazy.”

The Future Looks Energized

So, what's on the horizon for Kyle’s love life? She's set on finding someone who matches her energy and zest for life. Whether it's someone slightly older who still has a young soul or a younger partner, one thing's for sure – Kyle's not settling for anything less than vibrant.

In the world of Beverly Hills, where age can be as fluid as fashion, Kyle’s openness to youthful energy may just be the perfect plot twist she needs.
