What are your thoughts on age gap relationship?

trackman11 · 61-69, M Best Comment
Although I have seen it work, I suspect that it would be very difficult. I work with college age athletes and although I love the young people I work with I can’t imagine a relationship with someone their age. Upper 20s and 30s are years spent building a life and family. I’ve been there done that and would much rather listen and play with my grandchildren without the constant responsibility I once enjoyed. Physical attraction from old to young and maybe admiration/respect from young to old might make the idea appealing but maintaining a relationship is hard work and it helps to have empathy and understanding that comes from being in a similar stage of life I think. Sorry for the long answer.

Age, race, religion? Who cares as long as you're happy inthe relationship.

Age is only a number

I've experienced the joy of that. Communication and being open and honest about expectations for the relationship are important. Age gap relationships can have some unique challenges. That said, such a bond can be fantastic.

As long as both are legal adults nothing wrong with it as long as both of you are happy

I won't say anything about it if everyone involved is of age, but I'm still gonna think it's creepy when fully grown adults jump at the chance to date barely legal teens.

@SW-User Agree and don't understand it much...don't have much in common

As long as it’s two consenting adults, then whatever floats your goat.

As long as they're between 2 consenting adults, I have no problem with them whatsoever.

I love them!

My girlfriend is 27 years younger than myself. Been together for 4 years, we get along fine.
monkeysdevil007 · 46-50, M
My sweetheart is 20 years younger than me and the six years we have spent together have been the best of my life
QuietEd2019 · 31-35, M
I had a girlfriend 14 years older than me and was a lovely relationship

It depends on the age(s)..?
Justcurious86 · 36-40, M
I think it depends on age and interests because your really need to relate on a deeper level than just sex lol@AbbySvenz

Love has no boundaries in anycase

I'm not into them. I think it would be hard to have a serious relationship with somebody who's not in my age group. I think that'd probably be hard for most people, but clearly it works for some couples. More power to them, I guess.
NewBeginning · 22-25, M
The older you are the larger the age cmgso can be (ie, 50 and a 30 YO) if you're in highschool and there is a big difference in personal development (greater than 2 years) I start to cringe) aside from that, whatever's legal

Weird but I kinda wanna date a 30 year old to see what it’s like
SW-User
@Serendipitymaybe No it feels creepy
Serendipitymaybe · 51-55, M
@SW-User ouch
SW-User
@Serendipitymaybe I didn’t mean to be rude lol its just that I can’t imagine it 😂

My hubby is almost 21 years older than me so I'm not against a large age gap. I wouldn't be against being with a guy 21 years younger than me either. Should he kick the bucket.
Syktur · 26-30, M
I think that they’re fine as long as there’s happiness and stability but in the long run they’re not usually successful because of how different two ages can be.
Love is love, unless they’re under 18, then it’s 5-15 in prison. I’ve loved older women, and they loved me without reservation.

I think it's dumb to date people your children's/ grandkid's ages...but not my business, really
I wanna limit to 7 years older than me but Id make an exception for Chadwick Boseman lmao

If everyone's legal, spread your wings and fly like an eagle

Of course there are many different types of relationships. But when I was 17 I began a 3 year amorous fling with a woman 32 years older than I(you would not have guessed she was that age). I wouldn't trade that for anything. Opened my eyes and my mind.

To each his/her own...Personally I never believed in going more than 10 years in either direction because it does work out in some cases but not most.
Joker2019 · 26-30, M
I prefer girls who are between 2 to 6 years younger than me as far as younger women go and girls who are at least 2 to 5 years older than me for older women.
Serendipitymaybe · 51-55, M
We can all suggest it’s immoral or try to intellectualize it but truth is it is incredibly erotic! 20 or 25 years is hot!
they CAN work out.. but often people are disturbed
if it is consentual all is just fine.

are you in one?
lubovont · 70-79, M
my first really serious relationship was a big age gap relationship but it worked for a while anyeay
ThisIsCrazy · 46-50, MVIP
Age gap friendships and relationships are very fun and very enlightening. They promote open mindedness.
DownTheStreet · 56-60, M
First I thought you wrote thigh gap, which I'm fine with.
Age gap is good, too, whatever works.
djjohnson · 41-45, M
after a certain lever of maturity is reached it isn't a problem anymore.
Don't care what anyone chooses as long as minors aren't involved
Rhodesianman · 56-60, M
No problem at all age is just a number love is far more important .
Serendipitymaybe · 51-55, M
I’ll give you my perspective. DM me.
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
If both people are happy. Go with it.
Khenpal1 · M
for your age plus 50 is a good start.
Serendipitymaybe · 51-55, M
They can be incredibly erotic!
SW-User
I prefer thigh gap relationships.
496sbc · 36-40, M
6 years either way
vetguy1991 · 51-55, M
They aren't easy
MrBrownstone · 46-50, M
Too each their own
