You like who you like - whats wrong with that?

Assuming relationships broadly follow marriage age gaps there are some stats on age gaps. About 10% of couples have a 10 year or more age gap. Most common is a 2 or 3 year gap. It is not every other couple has a big gap but it is not exactly rare - there is a significant minority you are in.

Now I am a bit older I am more established, you'll get what you see and I have become more tolerant and have less angst than when I was younger plus I know what I like and want and I value a woman who is that.

I think there is something in an age gap for women.

Not wrong at all. Like any relationship, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Age difference isn't always a deal-breaker.

My father was 30 years older than my mother, and they were happily married for 30 years,, had my sister and me, until he died.

So long as you've got compatible levels of maturity, compatible life goals, and he's not trying to use a power imbalance to control you, then there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. In fact, for some women older men are often much better options

Definitely not, it's ok, we all have our own preferences. Older men=wiser men and it's wonderful

Probably the reason why he's a ex. Big age gaps in relationships rarely ever work out

Avicenna · Answer

You're both adults, so it's fine

"Likely to work out" or "wrong"... because they're not the same thing. The former may be an uphill battle but I wouldn't call it wrong. I get hit on by college-aged women with some regularity just based on availability in the environment. I don't think there's anything "wrong" with them.

What I find interesting is the difference between the responses to this question and if a man were asking if it's okay to like women 15 years younger than him.

That question would be filled with used-up 30 and 40 year old feminists whining about that man being a pedo or stalker or some other weirdo stuff.

not wrong, but dont be suprised if people stare or look tho

Ali4Sy · Answer

I think it is not wrong, but it'll be harmful for you and mostly after a while you will regret it Briefly : it is ok but only for a short time, cause for long periods it will be difficult

Ms_Facesitter · Answer

It isn't, as long as the relationship itself is healthy

Soldieronmission · Answer

Not wrong at all. Generally men mature slower then women so dating an older guy helps so you're both around the same level of maturity.
