Thoughts on age gap relationships?

How many years older or younger would you date?
As long as its legal

younger? 45

older - don't dare go that high

I’ve been in one with a large age gap & it was one of the best relationships I’ve ever had. As long as both are adults I don’t see there is a problem. It’s usually those outside the relationship that have the problem anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️

@SW-User exactly
For me, being practical I wouldn’t go past six years for older. For younger I don’t really care for younger men, honestly the youngest I’d date would be someone at my current age. I’d want someone at the same stage in life as I am or at least someone going in a similar pace. I’m not ready for a family or to settle down so dating someone much older can speed up that process or put unnecessary pressure towards areas like wanting a family and stufffff. As for dating younger I’m just not usually attracted to younger men. Either way, I need us to be on the same page and it can be challenging for that to happen if the person is a lot younger or older.

Of course, I’m just stating this without truly knowing how I would react if I do happen to develop feelings for someone past six years or younger than my current age. You never know what you would do in those situations until you’re in them. My parents are 9 years apart 🤷🏽‍♀️ So I don’t think it’s something completely impractical for me to date someone much older, but it’s just not ideal or likely.

I married a man 9 years younger!
He's like a grumpy grandad!
She was 54 & me 28 .... Lasted for 5 years and still we are in touch.

@valobasa4ever That's not what I asked but ok. It sounds like you really miss her.
@quitwhendone I got your inner meaning , yes still i do miss her a lot . She is an amazing woman .
@valobasa4ever I guess she was the one to turn you out. Thanks for clarifying.

Go visit her.

I've dated guys half my age and a few were more than half. Obviously I have no problem with age gap relationships, whatever makes one happy works
I have a mental block with guys younger than me even though theyre so sexy & persistent😥😅😩
It’s funny, they are really persistent. It’s kind of cute, but also annoying and creepy. @DarlingSelah

I wouldn't mind older, but would have a hard time being with someone younger than me.
braveheart21 · 61-69, M
I ready been in the showern on my way.... @Sunnykel76

@Sunnykel76 Morning Sunny. 🤗☕🌹
Sunnykel76 · 46-50, F
@braveheart21 oh yeah lol
If you start thinking too much, too often of an age gap it might be the wrong relationship for you. A relationship should, in my beliefs be build around equality.

As a rule of thumb, I wouldn’t want to date anyone old enough to be my parent or young enough to be my kid.
SimpleKiwiGirl · 51-55, F
My sister is 46. Her partner is about to turn 70.

That's quite the age gap. Too much for me, that's for sure.
SW-User
My hub is 3 years older than me and I like that age difference.
SW-User
15 older and 12 younger.
Though younger would be just on rare cases.
I dont want anyone younger or older or my age 😡
@Degbeme 😆😆 peace deggy
Im so tired
Degbeme · 70-79, M
@Dewms Then go to bed. 🤗
@Degbeme ok will try
😊 hugsss
Keepitsimple · 51-55, F
-5 and it would depend on their mindset for older. I wouldn’t want to be around a fuddy duddy for older.
Degbeme · 70-79, M
@Keepitsimple *oils up the wheels on his walker* 🤭
Keepitsimple · 51-55, F
@Degbeme I think your wheels are spinning perfectly still 😁
Degbeme · 70-79, M
@Keepitsimple 😙 *whistles*
braveheart21 · 61-69, M
I fucked my girlfriends mom many years ago.... And a neighbour a few years ago... Both about 20yrs older than me
SW-User
I would want to have someone older than me, but not too much older. Probably between 4 to 8 years.
MattyB0621 · M
For me when I was under 25 years old the age gap that I found acceptable was 3-4 years, but when we all get older a wider age gap is perfectly ok. I think it mostly has to do with where two people are at in their lives and their mindset. A 30 year old is going to be in a completely different period of their life than a 20 year old, so that probably wouldn’t work out, but a 28 year old and a 38 year old could probably work out.
Chevy454 · 46-50, M
I would go maybe 15 years younger. The only problem is, they may want kids.
KA9ha · 31-35, M
as per the Materia Medica ,,,age gap should not exceed 5yrs.else there are problems with the ovaries /sperm counts /insertion and ejaculation.
Satisfaction thru orgasms is also limited to a major degree and usage or artificial techniques is a must for accumulated stored fluid removals
Thingschange4444 · 51-55, M
Quite a bit older than my eldest daughter and around 10 to 15 years older.
braveheart21 · 61-69, M
My apologies.... I thought it meant your own... Ooooops @Thingschange4444
Thingschange4444 · 51-55, M
@SW-User 32. So around late 30s onwards
Thingschange4444 · 51-55, M
@braveheart21 lol. No worries 🙂
Adamski24 · 41-45, M
Age doesn't matter as long as you are both happy that's all that matters in life.
It's got nothing to do with anyone else it's your private life.
I have always loved younger girls growing up I would play with them and still do with young women.

Hubs is nine years older than me. It isn't so much the difference in ages as it is the difference in life experiences for us.
rfhh1959 · 61-69, M
I would like to think that it would not matter but at a point it does I would say + or - 15 years
SW-User
As long as the love is there, and no laws are being broken, why should a difference in age be an issue?
QuietEd2019 · 31-35, M
Older have dated +14 younger umm -3 or 4 years from the age i was at the time which was 21/22
KA9ha · 31-35, M
really does not matter whether she is elder or younger...
However ,my preference is an elder mature girl ....

KA9ha · 31-35, M

My husband is 12 years older than I am.
SW-User
thought you were leaving
Beatbox34 · 31-35, M
None. I'm happy as I am and need nobody.
Yep. No problem with it.
The oldest guy I dated was ten years older and the youngest was seven years. I don’t date boys I don’t care what their age is.
MartinTheFirst · 22-25, M
@wilderflower I don’t date boys I don’t care what their age is. that's the most self-contradicting thing i've heard today.
@MartinTheFirst I’ll help you. A guy can be 47 years old and behaves like he’s 15. Chronologically he’s an adult but I wouldn’t date him. Understand?
MartinTheFirst · 22-25, M
@wilderflower Ah, I thought you meant you only date people way older than you.
rjc36 · 56-60, M
I feel it is not always that important but if you date someone that is less mature than you or is to set in their ways it can cause issues. It all depends on the person.
