How big a difference does age make?

4 years max age difference
anything more is nasty

If there is chemistry that's great. A guy who's got it together emotionally that's a Biggie, that's coming from an area of strength(Emotional intelligence - awareness) As a guy gets older his reality(mature boundary's, presence) becomes stronger, you can feel their strength and not every guy has this nail down. lots of older guys are broken. If they work on themselves as they get older there should be a radiance that's stands out, kind of like coming into their own power. That should give you something to look out for in relationships.

5 to 10 years difference is a decent difference because in general men mature later then women therefore a 25 year old women is equally mature to a 33 to 35 year old men , she is probably ready to settle down , get married have a house ,men at 25 are not there yet they still wanna discover life and live and party.

10-15 years Difference is a a big difference , we are talking almost a genaration now the priorities in life are different but the older the couple is , the difference becomes very little. for example a 45 year old women with a 55-60 year old men are a perfect match at this age the women is starting to slow down , she wants to be secure and the men at this age wants a companion that he can enjoy a lot of activities with. if they were 20 and 35 then the difference a huge because at 20 a women wants to just discover her life and a men at 35 wants to start a family.

15-20 years or 20 + were talking a generation here and unless its a 60 year old women with a 75 to 80 year old men then there is a slight chance for this couple to succeed . a 25 year old women for example cannot be with a 45 year old women ,. different crown , mentality , hobbies , I would not suggest.

I fell into the 5-10 year difference with my ex. He's 7 years older than I am, and I've got to admit, it had it's moments to be good, but there were still moments when I really didn't know why I bothered. He may have been 7 years older than me, but he was still very immature. I was 21 when we met, and he was 27 (turned 28 while we were together), but he had toys on his walls, and he was very into computer games and video games and wasn't big on serious things, conversations or serious dates. It was frustrating.

I have a friend who falls into the 20+ category. All seems to be working well there. She's settled with her daughter from a previous marriage and he's settled with his career and life, and they've been together almost a year now and they're getting married and everything.

So I'm really not sure what works and what doesn't, I think it mostly depends on the people involved and where they are in their lives at the time. Personally, just because my ex was really immature for his age, I wouldn't write off a guy who's older than me by more than a couple of years. Like I said, it depends on the people involved.

Hope this helped.
