    I'm a 45 year old divorced mom and I am currently dating a 35 year old single dad. I don't think that quite qualifies me as a cougar, but I'm having fun!!

    I'm 47 and he's 32 so thats 15 years difference. We've been together almost 5 years. A previous relationship was 6 years younger than me. I'm just young at heart I guess.:happy:

    I am 8 years older than my husband and we will be married for 7 years in July. I also like reminding him that I will outlive him because of our food choices. :laugh:

    You dont look 47 - or even close. I would have guessed late 20's early 30's. Damn.

    I fell into dating a friend who was 14 years older than me. We ended up spending so much time together when me and a girlfriend were trying to match-make him with an older friend of ours that I guess we kinda fell into dating. There were serious generational (age gap) differences though so it wasn't gonna last.

    One thing I miss about him is he was very gentlemanly (open doors, hand on your back as you walked), and he was very respectful of my boundaries and "old-fashioned-ness" and most guys in my decade are NOT.

    I was 19 when I met my daughter's father. He was 44 -- that's 25 years. Not something I would be interested in doing again, but I was young, and we were together for 5 years.

    Only 3 years. I'm 21, he's 24.

    I've had lots of (married) men in their 50s try to hit on me, and I find it so gross. That would be like dating a parent. Euuu. I kind of get what they want me for (I'm young, they're bored with their wives) but (1) I'm not a jerk face and I'm not going to break up 20-30 years of marriage and (2) what am I going to get out of the relationship? I would never have sex with someone that old. Just...no.

    Oldest I would consider dating at this point in my life (I recognize it will likely change as I get older) is 5 or 6 years. Youngest is my age. I like older men rsrsrs

    That's a fun question! When I was 18 & 19, I dated two men 35 & 36 respectively. At 25, I ultimately ended up marrying my beloved husband who is 8 years older than me. I've got a soft spot for an older, bald guy!!

    The oldest guy I had been with was 40 when I was 20. He had the mentality of a 20 year old though. :grumble:

    Every serious relationship I've had, he's only been a month or two older than me.

    @ 26 I dated a 19 year old.

    Did not last very long. As we were in different places emotionally.

    @ 18 I dated a 28 year old. This ended badly! After about 6 months she proposed! I had to walk away, I was no where near ready to make that kind of commitment.

    17 year age difference...(with me being younger by age) he was about 20 years younger in personality...total mistake

    Now married and my husband and I only have a 7 year age difference (he's still older)

    My spouse is 15 years older than me. I love him but will point out to any 25 year old interested in a 40 year old man that there does come a period where you feel a bit mismatched in terms of interests because of the age difference. Now that he is nearly 60, we're having troubles finding things we both enjoy. He's slowing down....

    My wife is 8 years younger than I am, but light years ahead of me in maturity.
