    It depends on how old you are to begin with. At 20I wouldn't have dated a30-35 year old, but as you get older the age thing doesn't make a huge difference

    My husband is almost 14 years older than I am. When I was 20 and he was 34, it was shocking. Now that I am 56 and he is 70, it is no big deal.

    My husband is 8yrs older than me. IMO older men are more stable, and mature. I was 19 when I married my husband and he was 27.

    I've always had older boyfriends, okay to be fair the oldest was only seven years older than I was but my point is I'm not opposed to it. I personally prefer them being older than I am, don't know why lol. Age is just a number though at the end of the day, if you get on and you believe you could have something special then I don't see why not lol:).

    I personally prefer older men. I'm 27 and I would much rather be with a guy that's in his 30s. I know it isn't that much older, but I just can't be with guys my age.

    I wouldn't advise a 10 year age gap at your age.

    I don't think it has anything to do with age and is all about the individual and how well you get along. I wouldn't pick anyone out based on age. I have a short list of a set list of qualities I appreciate in a potential partner, with the biggest one on that list being that they are fun and like to play a lot, and a short list of deal breakers. As long as I find someone physically appealing to me and they fall within my guidelines of want/do not want then I'm game for giving it a try. I have dated 18 years younger than me and 16 years older than me and a lot in between those two ranges.

    Ugh. My dad just married a woman from Thailand who is a year younger than me (she's 31, he's 56.) He's going through the paperwork now to move her here (US) in about six months. I'm really trying to be positive about the whole thing, as he seems happy, but I just can't shake this :grumble: :sick::explode: :sick: :huh: feeling. Am I wrong to find the whole situation unappealing?

    I really wouldn't date someone more than 5 years older than me but never younger . I prefer someone who is going through the same thing as me in terms of life process such as college, buying a new house etc. Its funny because I just told a man who was 35 that he is too old for me yesterday ( I am 24). Honestly, at my age, I don't want to date someone with a impending mid-life crisis in a few years.

    My guy is almost 13 years older. He is the absolute love of my life, and we plan on getting married and having kids. I couldn't imagine my life without him.. Some women like guys older, I didn't know that until I met my man :) Now guys my age, it just seems weird. Too young and immature. ( some )

    Going to slightly "bogard" my way on to this thread. Age is a question of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. My woman just turned 30. I'm 45. We've been in a committed relationship for over 3 years and have an 8-month-old son. We relate on so many different levels despite the age difference. Its working for us.

    My grandpa was 18 years older than my grandma. Age is just a number. You can't help who you fall in love with.

    I lived a lot of life early on. So when i was in my early 20s and newly divorced, i found i didn't have anything in common with the males my age in college. So i dated men twice my age. Even today, i find something incredibly sexy about a man around 50-55. That confidence and maturity that "boys" just don't have.

    All that said, my husband is a year younger than me, and we've been together almost 20 years. :D

    I have dated both older and younger guys. to be honest I had more bad experinces with the older guys. I wouldn't say its wrong per sey it depends on the maturity of the guy. but a big age difference would be very awkward and weird for me. my being almost 37 years old I personally couldn't picture dating someone that much older than me they could almost be old enough to by my dad.

    personally I myself wouldn't go for anyone more than 6 years younger or 3 years older than me.

    My husband is 10.5 years older than me and we have a son. He's not a big fan of me reminding him of the gap but it works very well for us. After all, don't men take longer to mature? I'd say it's true since hubby dear acts my age most of the time, if not younger lol.

    It doesn't bother me, it's up to the 2 people involved. I've dated older, younger, taller, shorter - its about personality and chemistry- I wouldn't let a number be a deciding factor

    I'm 10 years older than my husband! He was 39 and I was 49 when we married. Been a great marriage and neither of us wanted children, anyway! :)

    My partner is 7 years older than me (19/26). We get along perfectly. For whatever reason I just can't relate to guys that are my age.
    My dad is 7 years older than my mom.
    My paternal grandpa was 8 years older than my paternal grandma.

    *I* only EVER date older men. I haven't dated a man my age since high school... even that was a mistake. Of course, I was jailbait back then too, so the older men wouldn't bother me much at that time lol My current man of 7 years (also the father of my child) is 14 years older than I am.

    Due to the early absence of my father (my mother and I left him when I was 9 - abusive drunk/druggie), I suppose there could be some sort of deep-seated psychological explanations to the age preference... no one can ever REALLY know what happens in the human psyche, so I couldn't completely ignore that theory.

    However, my dislike towards [MOST - not all] men my age also contributes to my preference in older men. I've never had a good experience with a man my age because they were all too irresponsible, childish/juvenile, selfish, and obnoxious. They don't know chivalry, loyalty, or common sense for that matter, and they aren't typically in it for the long run. Granted, a man, or women, in their 20's may sometimes be considered too young to even know what "forever" really means, but that's always been what I was personally looking for - someone I could at least see a future with.

    Anyways, not to write a book or anything lol but all the older men I've been with have been wonderful to me, to my family, very respectful and just ... mature. Of course, I'm not generalizing, not all older men are marriage-worthy supermen, and not all younger men are obnoxious, juvenile delinquents, but from my experiences with both age groups I just personally find that an older man fits my personality, my wants and my needs better than younger men. Which is why my vote goes to: Older Men! lol

    BUT... to each their own! As long as we're all happy, nothing matters. Love knows nothing but love.

    Love and Alohas,

    I know the initial post was referring to a 10-15 year gap, but even then I don't see a huge issue with it. It really depends on the people. You have to be compatible, regardless of age. Age plays a factor in that, but shouldn't be the deciding one.

    I've had relationships with older guys - usually no more than about 5 or 6 years older. I prefer it.
    I know my nan dated my grandad - married him - 20 year age gap. He was older. They were happily married for a very long time.

    I don't think it's wrong at all. I think if A couple share similar interests, passions, goals etc and they're happy together, then age isn't really an issue. Maybe 20 years is a little much personally for me. Ten year gap maximum.

    My last boyfriend was 10 years older than me. I'm 22.
    I found his age attractive.
