    29 because I'm in denial about the rapidly approaching 30s

    My husband is 8 years younger than I am. I'm turning 34 this year and he's 26. We started dating when he was 18 and I was 26. It works for us. I'm just really immature and we meet somewhere in the middle.

    My late hubby was 9 years older so I will say a 10 year gap is good for me. My new hubby is 1 year older. I think 5 years younger would have been my dating limit.

    I am 22 years old and my bf is 46 and it's the best relationship I have ever been in. He complete me. As cliche as that sounds but I have never been so happy.

    this is fascinating to me.

    can you tell us a bit more about your relationship? how did you meet? how long have you been together? has he been married? does he have kids? are they older than you are? do your parents approve? do you want kids? does he? what do your friends think? does he go out with your group of pals and do what 22yos do? i give him a lot of credit if he can keep up lol. (and just for the record, i know it doesnt necessarily matter what other people think about a relationship, im really just curious. sorry for the 3rd degree, im just very interested.)

    thats quite an age gap.

    i think i could go 4-5ish years in either direction (im 36). who knows....maybe im wrong and theres a perfect 60yo out there for me. i "dated" a 31yo chick when i was 19, but it was really just a summer of having a consistent hookup and being wined and dined. it was nice, but at the end of the day, i dont think i could have had a deep emotional relationship with her. perhaps i was too young at the time, but when she got out some of her old records from high school and reminisced about the past, i felt so young and she seemed so old.

    I prefer younger guys. Those my age and older can't seem to keep up.

    Go there to play if you wish, but what ever you do, you'll 99.9% probably regret it if you get serious with someone more than just a few years older than you. I was 29 when I divorced my husband who was 49 at the time, and I still shudder when I see how old he is now compared to me (I'm 37 and he's 57). Lots of regret there.

    And how old are you?

    I'm 19 and a 50 year old man (my college professor) had made it clear that he likes me. To be honest though I actually wouldn't mind going with a man that age! The only thing stopping me would be my parents and friends I guess.

    It's weird but I've only ever been attracted to men between the ages of 35-60.

    What about you guys? :D

    Lol depends on the grade u would get. BTW I'm 31 my husbands 47.

    I've always gone older, but that's never worked out so I think it's time to swing the pendulum.

    If you're attracted to him, go for it. Just be wary if he's married or something like that. And make sure you understand what you're getting into ahead of time. Is it just a friends with benefits kind of thing or serious relationship. You can learn a lot from older partners, and I don't just mean about sex.

    Americans are kind of weird about age issues. Personally, I view worrying about age too much as being unsubstantive and shallow, but that's just me. If you like someone, age shouldn't be an issue (of course, not including kids). I've been with women 17 years younger and 15 years older, and everything in between.

    It's also noteworthy that when an older woman like a significantly younger man, she's a 'cougar'; however, when an older man likes a significantly younger woman, he's 'creepy.'

    I'm 47 my husband is a very young and healthy 75. We got married when I was 27 and he was 54 and I have to say we have a very happy marriage, and three amazing kids (two biological kids, 12 and 17, and one adopted 17 year old) he is very involved with the kids and if you didn't know his age, you would never guess it from how he is. As a matter of fact, he retired in December only because his company closed down, he is just now outlining the beginnings of his own IT business plus he takes care of everything around the house both inside and out now that he's home. I think age is a number and if I had let the number bother me, I would have missed out on a truly awesome life.

    My partner's 18 years older than me. We have been together for 7 years. He is wonderful, and he thinks I am wonderful too, so i am pretty lucky I guess. Mind you, I am in my late 40s, so the gap between age and experience is not so vast as it would be if I was 19 and he was 37.

    Just be aware that there really IS a gap between age and experience when you are in your late teens and you meet someone hot who is 50. Such a gap could lead to a power imbalance if his motivation is not in your best interests. What do you want out of the relationship? What does he want? If you want the same things, you will be fine. If not ....
