How much of an age gap is too much in romantic relationships?

All the concerned parties would be at least mid twenties. No teenagers or early twenties. For me personally if I dated younger never under 25. I’m 33. Usually i have dated around my age ( a few months younger) to several years older. I probably am ok dating someone mid 20s to late 40s. I don’t know if that would considered too much of an age gap but where do you personally draw the line for romantic relationships and marriage for age ranges?

I don't believe there is a limit. One of my first serious boyfriends was about 3x my age and we were very happy together

It really depends how and where you want that relationship in long term.

And it depends on the maturity level of the concern parties and their objectives and the goals in the relationship.

I have dated both younger and older woman. But mostly my age and or older specially in late 20s and 30s.

Moving target. The distance between 18 and 23 is more than the distance between 30 and 35.
I won't date anyone unless they are the exact same age as me, same date of birth exactly. And they must be able to swim fifty meters in their pyjamas.

I've dated someone who was 15 years younger then me. Not a good idea. I prefer between 10 and 5 year age difference

It would depend on how mature they are but anything beyond 10 years older/younger would be a bit too much
I don't care about age. There's too much else to care about as it is. I've always had age gaps in my relationships. I've only ever been with one girl close to my age (5-6 yrs apart) but most of my relationships have been 10+ yrs in gap.

Half-plus-seven is the classic rule. But I’m a firm believer of doing what feels right for all parties involved.
It’s only an issue if you find it an issue (and you are both adults of course). I guess I’d say the gap could be half your age plus 7 (as long as that makes the two both adults)
I don’t think it matter that much is both parries are above 35

I know my opinion isn't popular but there's no need to censor.

basically women my age really never gave me much of a chance. not blaming them but... I'm sure you'll delete my comment.
