Just wondering if you care about age differences? How much of an age gap is too much?

I think age matters, while it is not a popular belief for some. I like someone in my own age range.

In my opinion, as long as both people are adults and both are consenting to the relationship, itās fine. Iām 30 years old, The youngest woman iād date would be early 20ās and the oldest iād date would probably be late 40ās. I would love for my partner to be the exact same age as me but Iām fine with younger or older. As long as sheās an adult.

Not really. I mean I wouldnt date a 18 year old or a 90 year old, but for the most part, no. There are limits based on my personal preferences. There is too young and too old for me personally, but I agree with @TheCanuk for the most part. If they are consenting adults, let them do what they want.

My father is 93 and my mother is 85. I am 55 and would like someone within 5 years of me or my age for a relationship.

I dont think so. It just depends if you āclickā, imo. You DO have to consider that if you are thinking about a long term relationship the later impact that age gap my have, though.
I mean, when you are 45, he will be 60ā¦when you are 60, decent chance he will be either dead or very elderly.
So, if you are talking long term, there are things to consider.
Personally, I am 52 and my fiance is 48.

Yes. I will never go out with a too-young man again. He lies about me.

The fact that you have this question makes me think thereās something in the back of your mind about this issue. Is it something personal with you or how you think others see the age difference or both. For me I have personal issues with a drastic age difference. But I have read of many relationships with big age differences being awsome and great relationships and marriages.

I would stay + or - 5 years for me. Thereās a difference in maturity outside that but I guess thereās a difference regardless of age.

my first wife was 10 years older than meā¦she taught me a lot, I taught her a lotā¦mostly about music. I would do it againā¦ten years younger or ten years older is fine with me.

It doesenāt matter unless it matters to yourself.
Ofcourse a woman dating a considerably older man is more ānormalā in the eyes of society than the other way around. Men have traditionally usually been older than the woman in a relationship. But even for a man dating a much older woman is starting to be less ātabooā in current times.
My wife was nearly 22 years older .We were together 22 years, and married nearly 19. She was the dominant one,until she developed vascular dementia. She died in 2005 at the age of 70.

Dating a woman the age of my daughter would be creepy AF to me.

I donāt think this is a big deal. Youāve always struck me as a bit mature beyond your years, and perhaps he is young at heart.
Good luck with your new relationship!

I donāt make friends with people significantly younger than me typically. Either my age or older is fine too. I have plenty of middle aged and even elderly online friends.
If youāre referring to romantic relationships, Iām married now but before that my rule was Iād date 2 years younger to 2 years older. So pretty much only people my age. I find older people wanting to date people my age tend to beā¦immatureā¦grossā¦and younger people also too immature. My husband is my age, a couple months older than me is all.
Thatās all my opinion.

My sisterās husband is 15 years older than her. They married in 1991 and are still married. They get along really well. Theyāve been through good times and bad, but have managed to work through it all.
