What age gap is okay in a serious relationship?

[Anonymous]

If a woman is 25 to 29 years old, how much older should the man she dates be?

This is completely up to the people involved. Some people like someone much older, say 15 to 25 years, others like a younger man, say 5 to 10 years. There are all sorts of age gaps.

But remember, it's the package and its contents that you're getting involved with, not simply an AGE. What if the guy is 3 years younger and everything about him is great? What if he's 10 year older and you feel the same about him?

You aren't going to throw the baby out with the bathwater. It's about the COMPLETE person you're considering. Is it a match? Are you both satisfied? Are there issues you have to consider if someone is much younger or older than you? How will your friends and family react? Can you handle hearing negative things from others: He's too young, too old for you?

It's is completely up to WHAT SUITS YOU and WHAT SUITS HIM.. If you find joy in a person and the life you'll have with them, GO FOR IT!.

It just depends on the man and what you are attracted to. I have a bunch of 29 yro's on my roster. in my opinion the 29-32 range is probably the easiest to attract for a ton of obvious reasons.

I'm 48 and my girlfriend is 40, seems an ok gap.
I had a manager at work and he was 20 years older but it worked for him

Less than 10, anything more than that it becomes "sugar daddy-baby"...

I wouldn't recommend looking for anyone more than 10 years plus or minus. Once you get outside of 10 years you'll have a lot less in common.

If the man is 12 to 15 years older than the woman, could that cause issues in the relationship? Even if they share similar mindsets despite the age gap, is it still possible they might not get along?

It could, I'm not saying it will. I tried 15 years once, it was disaster.
Yes there are older people with young souls and there are some young people with old souls. But in general people meet someone with a wide age difference and then project on to them that they have a lot in common because the may share a couple views. When in reality they really don't. Something that tends to become apparent over time. But again there are exceptions to every rule. This is why I worded it the way I did. I said "I wouldn't go LOOKING for anyone plus or minus 10 years". Personally though, I'm a guy. And as a guy I cannot afford to be as picky as women can. And even still I'm not sure I'd ever date that wide of an age difference again.

Personally, I think the guy should be approximately 4 months older.

Whatever age she wants.

2(her age) - 7 = True Love

age won't matter if both sexually compatible.

4 years isn’t a huge difference
