Ladies: How big a deal is a 10-15 year age difference in a man (older than you)?

It’s not important to me, whether 10-15 years older or younger, it’s the individual person that matters & whether you are happy with each other

It depends On his Personality, Stamina and Attitude 🤷‍♀️

10+ years can be a huge deal if you have nothing in common and come from 2 totally different backgrounds. It depends what is important to you. That I know personally.

I am married to a man older than me. He acts like he’s dead so it can be a big deal.

I find it exciting 💋. Still on the lookout, though..

For me it isn't a big deal, but for a 14 year old it could make a huge difference to the man.

It's never been a big deal. The majority of the men I've dated were much older and respectful

Depends how old they are. If she’s 40 and he’s 55, not so much. But 18 and 33 is like a generational difference.

Can’t see who that is below you’re having a polite ‘debate’ with, so it must be someone I have Blocked lol, but just wanted to say good on you for defending yourself so vehemently 😁🤗

At my age, older is a turn on.

Not at all.
My bf is 10 years older. Most of my partners are older than me.

Not a lady, but on this theme: When I was in my twenties I was with a woman in her forties and it was great. But we are still in touch and now she is MUCH older than I am and I can't imagine it would have been good if we had stayed together.

That surely does depend on the ages of both parties at the time. The age difference was not a big deal to [i]me[/i], the times I've been in a 'romantic' sort of relation with a man several years older than I.

Im old now so it doesnt matter lol

Thank you for BA 🤗

Not a big deal at all

I think that it depends on how old you are.. on both ends, the age difference probably matters the most and in the middle, the least...

The older I am, the less age difference I want. My oldest partner was 9-years older when I was 26, but now that may be too much difference.

When I was 40 I was dating 24 and 25 yr old women.

I like older men but not too much older. I think if i was 16 I Would have been scared of a large age gap like 10 to 15 years older.

age is just a number to me. its not important.

no big deal at all... niggest gap I have had was 24 years

It isn't a big deal.

Let ladies tell stories..

When I was 16, I fell in lust for a guy of 31 years who worked at my gym. We hung out for quite a while, but the mere 15 year age difference made it hard to keep up with him. He was into 'things' that I wasn't and his interest in music was lightyears behind mine. As well, he had more in common with my father than I did which really wasn't cool at the time.

After I turned 20, I would have business contacts with men who had 15 to 20 and sometimes 30 years of difference between our ages, which seemed to be fine all the time because age was suddenly declared irrelevant by all concerned.

But recently, a female business associate of mine who is now 65, mentioned to me that her husband is a mere 15 years older than she is and that they both met when she was 16 and he 31, which of course was equal to my own experience at the age of 16. Her husband however, just turned 80 last month, which would make sense since that mere 15 years of age gap seemed to follow them in lockstep for the past 46 years without missing a beat.

The problem is, when she turns 75 in ten years and is still running and doing yoga as she has always done, her husband will be 90.

It suddenly then occurred to me that age differences are only irrelevant in the mid-spectrum of life where both parties could conceivably have one night stands together on a whim or even go skydiving or water-skiing together and nobody would think anything of it. The fact that each one could keep up with the other meant that age differences were irrelevant.

But at the younger-end of life's spectrum where a legal 16 year old girl is spending her time with a 31 year old guy, it only looks weird and awkward, but if she doesn't actually look like him in any way then she can never be mistaken for his daughter in front of his friends.

And at the senior-end of life's spectrum where a legal 75 year old girl is now pushing the wheelchair of her 90 year old geriatric life-mate through the hallowed halls of a long-term care facility, it not only looks weird and awkward, the girl is more likely to be mistaken as the guy's daughter than she would ever have been when she was 16. That is not cool.

Is a 10 or 15 year age difference a big deal you ask?

As long as you're currently living life within the mid-spectrum of life itself and neither one of you require a personal aid to assist you into or out of a bathtub or the back seat of his 20 year old Crown Vic at drive-in movie theater, then no, 15 years of age difference is not a big deal.[/c]
