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 think they would not have worked out due to me being in my 50s now and they would still be in their 30s

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.
bigboyshaun · 36-40, M
age is just a number to me. its not important.
Hotelroom38 · 51-55, M

SweetMae · 70-79, F

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.

So please, enlighten me: what is this golden wisdom you wanted to impart to me about what I have clearly not learned about women in my lifetime?
My dialogue to you thus far has already revealed what you needed to know about your 'shrink' or any woman for that matter who wears a wedding ring.
My eventual intent was to encapsulate everything you ever needed to consider about women into once simple post, probably 3 short paragraphs at most. But instead, my input became thinly spread across damn near a dozen posts comprised of hate-filled comments and self-defensive posturing.
Truth is, your SW friend who only offered you "Yikes" instead of constructive wisdom or even likely a completely written sentence containing a single complete thought, is speaking more about her own self-image than what she perceives mine to be. Truth is, she knows nothing about me. The reason I know this is because I do not interact with people on SW who only offer one-word answers in any typical post that they make. Their inherent illiteracy is not worth dealing with.
And your other SW friend who blocked me 8 months ago, probably blocked me back then because I revealed to her, her own truth as well at some point or another and most likely she didn't like hearing it from a complete stranger.
So yes, it doesn't surprise me that she would choose to enter into a state of denial by blocking all contact with someone who knew as much about her as she did about herself of which probably scared the living shit out of her. After all, for a person to block someone on SW is really about that person choosing to enter into a state of 'hiding' as they exercise their panic option to push that 'block' button when they feel emotionally challenged in some way.
Do I give a shit about either of your SW friends? Absolutely not. I'm sure they're both very nice people when they're away from their computers. Their combined comments and opinions however, are totally irrelevant to our conversation in the grand scheme of things.
So I bless you to your good, hope your Patient/'Shrink' relationship proves to be nothing but medically fruitful for you and I wish nothing less than a plethora of stunningly beautiful women to flood endlessly into your life.
Have fun with those new women you will now attract to yourself and seek nothing but the best among them. And never settle for less. I mean it!

@swirlie While the sentiment is much appreciated, I really don't need a plethora - - I just want one!
