Dating age difference

I usually date men older than me...usually up to 20 yrs older. I'm not sure why, just a preference.0
-
Well at 54 and just now entering back into the "dating" arena, I find that I would be interested in probably down to mid to late 30s, but when you read the profiles it seems most ladies up to the mid to late 40s want someone their age or younger. As to above age, probably around 60.0

My husband is 14 years older. We've been married 17 years. It's not always easy but, age is never the issue.0

If you put the biggest age difference down and up that I've dated in the same room, you would have a 27yr old talking to a 72yr old. That kinda freaks me out.0

I am not so much stuck on age as I am maturity. I am 9.5 years younger than my hubby.0

Been married 30 years to a woman 18 years older.
Kids, grandkids, empty nester's.
'nuff said.0 -
I am confident that I would not do well in jail, so anyone I date must be at least 18.0 -
I'm not too fond of dating younger guys; however, I'd say the youngest would be somewhere around 27 (I'm 30). As for older, I'd say 36ish...0

said it many times...date and go out for fun, no age limits. Anything serious though...I have a hard time thinking I would have that much in common with someone too many years my junior or senior. In some cases, I am thinking about retiring and they are still trying to complete college. Not sure that would every work out.0

I'm 7 years older than my wife and we've been together 10 years.
I never dated more than a year or two older but a few in the range of 5 years younger.0 -
My husband is 10 years younger than me. Best relationship ever!0

If this is true, I LOVE YOU.
Yep its true. Met when I was 24 and she was 41. She thought I was in my early 30's and I thought she was in her 30's so in our minds it was a good fit. Married a year later in 1985. She had 3 teenagers from her first marriage, I get along fine with the oldest son, good with middle son, and great with our daughter. She calls me Dad...
Each kid has been married (and divorced and remarried LOL) and has kids. Grandkids are 24 - 23 - 22 - 16 - 14 - and twins that are just turning 5.

I'm surprised you haven't been offered a reality TV show. This is so precious and I'm no optimist but this is a truly optimistic love story. Nice!

I have to throw some gas on this fire. Ready?
I will be 54 in July (but most people guess me 42 or younger) and I am an unemployed college student.
She just turned 26 yesterday. She is a fitness trainer, specializes in bikini fitness, and competes and wins.
Oh! She approached me first! And she asked "I hope you do not mind I am younger then you, but I have a question for you."
So almost 28 years difference, and if you saw us you would never know, and if we told you, well you would not believe it!0 -
I don't have hard rules on this, but some soft ones, such as... if a guy is old enough for my mom to consider dating (she's only 20 yrs older than me), he's off limits. As for younger... I have to say 5ish years, but I've "crushed" on a guy that was 6 years younger than me, so yeah. Ideally, I'd be with a guy that's 2-3 years younger to 5-6 years older. But that's just a range...0

3 yrs younger and 12 yrs older. Maturity is the real issue here obviously.0
-
I have to say, ladies - women outlive men as a general rule. If you are going to choose to be with someone 10 or more years older than you, you will be either taking care of them when they get old or you will be alone because they will be dead. My dad died at 55 and my mom was alone until age 93 (not that she had to be, just sayin') when she died.
I'm 67 (most people take me for 10 to 15 years younger) and would never date a guy over 4 or 5 years older than me and preferably up to 8 younger.0 -
have dated 20 years younger up to 40 yo. im 43. Wont date past 40 I think. and wont be serious with women that have kids.0
-
10 years down, 5 years up...sounds reasonable..0
-
Well at 24 I can't date much younger at the moment (maturity purposes) and my boyfriend is 8 years older and I don't think I'd go any higher.0
