Is a ten year age gap too much for a relationship? So I've been talking to a girl on a job for...

Yes but I'm sure you won't let us stop you.

My son is 38, his live in girlfriend is 25 and they are very happy together

Rissareborn · 22-25, F

My BF is six years older, so I vote no!

Depends on how cute her butt is.

It wouldn’t work for me but I know long term couples with a 10 year gap

It depends on the person. Women tend to have a maturity level 5 years senior to a man of the same age. So a 25 year old woman is equivalent to a 30 year old man maturity-wise.

As long as her maturity level is acceptable and she is older than 21, there's a possibility it can be successful.

if they don't recognize the "Have you have your break today?" ad campaign

I would think you’d need to live together to see if it would work. I was in a relationship with a larger age gap, and it worked for a year. It was nice too, but we never discussed marriage.

Her age mostly matters for level of purity and lifetime of health viability

The push-pull would be a "No" from me... I'm not into playing games.

18 and 28 nope but 24 and 34 is fine so depends but the oh shes mature for her age 21 and under is BS no matter what and that guy is a creep

Not really an issue for the most part, but some may present themselves down the line if things progress in terms of where you are mentally, emotionally etc

My partner and I have a gap like that but thankfully also have quite a lot in common as well so it depends 🤷🏾

idk how old is the younger person? the older one is the less ten years matters imo as long as they are over 30 who cares?

GeistInTheMachine · 31-35, M

It sort of depends on who is older. In which case, the main issue may be more the distance more than the age gap.

Also depends on how serious you want to take things, but my pair bonding ability is really messed up at this point, so... I dunno.

Oh, I just read the push-pull part again. I wouldn't get attached at all because of that. Definitely don't go out of your way.

Don't want to be wasting much time, sanity and energy on someone who can take you or leave you on a whim. Life is very short these days.
