I'm 23 and 10 above would probably be my max and maybe 3 below.
I think it's easier for women to date up and men to date down0 -
Not much interest in dating any younger than me (I'm 24). I once dated a 32 year old....then he found out he was a dad to ex-gf's baby....that leap into a different stage of life was a no go for me. Otherwise even close to 10 years was cool with me.0

I'm dating someone 3.5 years younger than me. I am 26 year old female. He is 22 but will be 23 soon. There has been and are issues with dating a guy younger than me. It DOES help that people say I look significantly younger than what I really am. A lot of people think I am 20 years old tops. Most people think my boyfriend is older than me, but really it's the other way around. Only issues with being with a guy younger are of course maturity level and our stage in life ( although I'm not way ahead of him ). Most of our issues don't have to do with our age differences, but rather our lifestyle, where we want to be in the future, direction, and hobbies/interests. I'm a runner; he is a musician. I want to move; he wants to stay put.
I think age matters less as we get older.
For me, I'm not opposed to dating younger than me, but if I am not with my current boyfriend forever, I do not think I will date a man that much younger than me. I would date/marry a man 1-2 years my junior, or a guy my age. As far as older, I am unsure. I want to say up to 4-5 years older.0 -
I was 39, divorced with 3 kids. He was 26.5. We've been happily married 21 years. We're both self-employed and can easily spend together. We have similar interests. I think he is more mature than me. His mom thinks I'm the best thing ever for him!0

I'm 46 and he's 34. When I was dating I also had dated older. I probably wouldn't date too much further than 12 years either way. If I'm talking about something I wouldn't want to be with a man who, for example, who never heard of eight track tapes, someone who I'd have to explain things to like I'm ancient history. On the other end of the spectrum, I wouldn't want someone so much older I felt like their daughter. Just my preferences.
Me too! My husband is 12 years younger. He can hardly remember his own age, much less mine - he says it doesn't matter. Definitely sharing the same sense of humor is important in a relationship. A few older guys I dated I think were, I guess... boring, or scared of me - hahaha!0 -
Similar to my situation, I was 25, she was 43 and divorced with 3 kids (all teenagers).I was 39, divorced with 3 kids. He was 26.5. We've been happily married 21 years. We're both self-employed and can easily spend together. We have similar interests. I think he is more mature than me. His mom thinks I'm the best thing ever for him!
Been married 30 years this Sept.

I'm 18....would only date a person a year younger than me and older....maybe like 45 is the cut off age? I wouldn't marry someone aged 45 at 18 but I would be interested in having fun...0

I'm 46. I'd go 38 to 520

Whatever makes you both Happy as long as it's legal 0

I dated a 23 year old last year. Age really is just a number.0
-
I'm dating someone 5 years older, but he seems more like my age. I don't think numbers matter so much as maturity0
-
10 years older is my limit and never younger
0 -
well my wife was a decade younger than me nearly and that didnt matter at.0

My father was 22 years older than my mum, no longer together but they were for 10 years, for me age shouldnt not matter as long as you have a connection0

I've seriously dated (would wife up) 12 years younger and 6 older. Playfully dated a slightly wider range. Fit women are my weakness.
Age Only matters in relation to the fact that I would really like (not a complete deal breaker) to have another kid.0 -
As adults age is not relevant in a relationship. It is the quality of the bond two people have together, can they grow together in the future and do we respect each other that counts. I fell in love with my husband when I was 19. He was 13 years older and age never played a role in our relationship. We were very happily married for 25 years until he passed away in 2006 at the age if 57.0

age is a number. you have 25yo people that act like 80yo and 50yo people that think like 25yo
It depends on the two persons, the attraction, the state of mind and also, the physical condition0 -
My husband is 16 years younger than me. I am 51 but can't imagine being with a man that age. Maybe it would be fun, but I don't know.0

I'm 4 years younger than my boyfriend, but we're at the same point in our education with my 2 years ahead of where I should be, and him 2 years behind due to working. That makes a huge difference for us, if I'd been still in high school when he asked me out it would have been really awkward.0

I'm sorry to hear that
And you're absolutely right. My fiancé is 14 years older than me, and it's just not an issue, it practically never comes up because it's not relevant. We're right for each other, that's what is.

Thats a good point, depends on what you both want outta life.. you also can't help who you fall for.
True, can't help who you fall for. I stay in shape to give myself more quality of life years, so that I can share them with someone I love0
