Age Gap? How much is too much?

[Anonymous]

The guy is 24 and the lady is 46. The guy is absolutely besotted and the lady, as much as things are currently mutual, is unsure because of the big age difference. They have known each other for 2.5 months. The guy is in the process of buying a house so they can move forward together.
Male perspective, please.

Now the age difference is ok, she probably knows stuff, and he is able to deliver, but if they stay together you can do the math, in 20 years he is 44, she is 66, 30 years he is 54, she is 76, and that right there can be tough, depending on her health, not saying that he couldn't have health issues either, but as we age for many it can be harder to be as active as we get older.

I think a lot of it would depend on his maturity level. 24yrs old is pretty young but I know a few guys at 24 that are plenty mature. If they both have the same goals and are interested in the same things I see no problem.

Some couples do make the age gap work. George Clooney and Amal Clooney have an age gap of 17 years, they have 2 kids together and are happily married. Priyanka Chopra is older than Nick Jonas by 10 years. They've made it work. They seem happy and in love. For some couples, the gap may seem too much and it makes it difficult to make the marriage work, and hence they drift apart and fall out of love. As long as both are consenting adults, I say, go for it. However, I would never date someone who is old enough to be my father. That's just awkward. I'm 16, now, the limit for me is 19. When I'm 20, the limit for me would be 25. When I'm 21, it'd be 27. When I'm 25, it'd be 32. When I'm 27, it'd be 35. It just depends as I age.

If there is doubt then it’s likely too much.

both need to be comfortable and compatible with each other and the age difference.

A lot will hinge on his maturity or not, older women can struggle with younger guys due to maturity.

the gap it’s self is okay, however going in to it uncertain means there is a bit of a shaky start.

I'm 46, (yes, my age is wrong, still need to fix that) and my age limit personally is around 30... depending on maturity level. I get hit on by very young women a lot so I had to set that standard about 12 years ago.

WOAH!!! She is TWICE his age. WAY TOO BIG of a gap. They have only known each other for not even three months and already he wants to move in together? THIS GUY IS MOVING WAYYYYY TOO FAST!!! He needs to slow it the hell down.

It happens. Some of the girls I seen they going after 10 plus and daddy figures.

If you both have chemistry and mutual feelings go for it

He's buying a house and they've only known each other 2.5 months. Wow. That's unsettling.

Too much is when one individual is under 18; otherwise who cares. Love who you want to love.

Well I’m not used to that The young guy dating the older woman

I feel my max difference would be 10 years.

25+ is too much
