I'm into older guys. The guy I've been seeing is 10 years older than me. I've also been with a guy my dad's age lol. Right at 30 years older then me.
@mandyfire98 do you by chance answer questions about hook ups, and approaching women? If not it is fine, just trying to get some opinions from girls.
Close to the same age, but I would say within 5 years either way is just fine.

Close to the same age. Within 10 years is fine too after that it starts getting weird
Ideally, they should be close in age, within 5 years. But any age gap is possible. My father was 30 years older than my mother and they had a long happy marriage of 30 years, until he passed away.
Whatever is comfortable for the couple. No rules.
I think it depends on the couple.
My ex and I had a difference of 1.5 years.
My mom and dad have a difference of 5 years, my mom was 20 and dad was 25 when they married.
My grandpa and grandma had a 10 year difference, my grandma was 23 and grandpa was 33 when they married.
Out of these relationship, all were amazing at some point in the life, but my grandparents relationship has been happiest.
It depends on the couples I think.
My grandma was an aspiring actress and a very intelligent girl coming from a poor family with 9 siblings.
She was very successful for her age, had won the award of the best actress of Soviet Union at just 23.
She was beautiful and smart.
My grandpa was promiscuous, very handsome man, who has spent his whole life sleeping with the girls in the whole city.
He also had a girlfriend before my grandma who he lived together with for years, until that girl cheated on him.
That time my grandpa left and some time later he met my grandma. They had been married for 50 years when grandpa passed away.
I voted <5 as a typical answer that I think applies in most situations however I do not think there is a universal rule, to me it mostly depends on their ages at the time they meet. A few years difference is huge when you are a teenager but matters a lot less once you are an adult and then even moreso the older you are. I doubt I would date a younger guy, even one year younger, I am not sure why some sort of hangup I guess. I am not single but if I was, I would be comfortable dating a guy anywhere from my age to age 40 just depending on the person. JMO!
I like same age. That way you all know what you alls talking about and are more likely to have things in common. Same generation, same music, same pretty much a lot of stuff that's happend. You can connect in that way. For all the things people in relationships already fight about, this can be one thing that's eliminated. Plus, you don't want to be tempted to stray when you don't find your partner that attractive anymore. I mean, yeah, unless you are a really good and committed person, the odds just increase the older (or at least the bigger) the age gap.
It can be any age as long as you love each other, but even when I’m an adult an age gap of more than ten years will probably be too much for me personally to even date the person, let alone marry them.
Doesn't matter people fall in love and marry at any age gap. Younger women are starting to find older men attractive. Because one of the main reasons why is because they settled, they mature, and they don't want to play.
Secondly tons of older men are looking much younger for ther age then ever. Look at the results below. Well over their 40's but haven't age a day.




So. It really doesn't matter anymore. As long as the women are over 18 and are big girls. Love and marriage is what comes 😃
They are celebrities, bro. They have tons of money. Of course, a good lifestyle (without drugs) and a lot of aesthetic procedures help them age slowly.
@Darkrainbow It's not THAT hard to eat vegetables and work out instead of fried chicken and the couch every day, though most of the USA seems to think so. It's called discipline, and doesn't require tons of money.
Bureau of Marriage and Divorce stats. says that when the wife is older, (13 years, which seems extreme to me) the marriage seems to hold together. I work with a man at DMV and his wife is at least 10 years older and they have been married for quite a while and have a child. I think he is 35-38? P. S his wife is gorgeous!!!
The most successful marriages in Hollywood have at least a 14 year age gap between the man and the woman.
If there isn't a 10+ year age gap, the man will just end up trading her for a younger woman once she reaches a certain age. Young women keep the men feeling young.
Absolutely not more than one day. Ideally, no more than 15 minutes. …but in the case of a leap year birthday, I could see settling for as much as, say…8 hours?
Age is just a number, it doesn't matter. If the two get along really well, why should anyone care that there's a 40 year age difference, for example?
I wouldn't date anyone older then 28 or yonger then 21.
I always figures 5 years or less, simply because people can relate to certain eras you grew up in. You may have similar tastes and recollection of events, etc.
2-3 years is the majority age age gap - about 50%. Another 20% from 2-3 years to 6 years. Falls to 10% with 10+ years.
Really doesn't matter in my view.
as much, or as little as they're comfortable and genuinely happy with...
5-10 years is ok in my opinion
I'd say within 5 years either way is a good gap. It doesn't matter who is older or younger.
There is no should. As long as it works and you're happy.
5 and under of your under 30 then 3 and under!
You're probably going to have to ask him since it's only their business not mine whatever makes them happy and whatever pisses everybody else off
In my opinion, less than five years is ideal and the closer the better, but not necessarily a hard requirement.
We are the same age, we're so close in age that we are both the same Zodiac Sign
She is older by 9 days and 6.25hrs.
She is the cougar between us
Depends at what age they both get married, and also the maturity level of both people. I have seen couples 10 years apart and they were completely in sync. and I have seen some couples same age.. and i wonder how they got married lol.
My crush is 7 months younger than me (same age) but he is extremely intelligent, like he has an IQ of one in 100 000 people or more so he is older than me in that way
My hubby is 5 years older than me.
My mom's boyfriend is 11 years younger than her :)
Loll ur mom is cougar? 😏
Don't think so. They're both in love.
Oh its cool for her ☺️
Doesn't really matter if they can work with the differences
Man should always be older , and it should preferably be at least 10 years difference.
Age is not a good measurement for a relationship. There is 6 mo between my wife and myself. We have good friends who have a 20 year gap. So don't base a decision om age.
Any age as long as he is a mature individual. An older man being older doesn't always make him mature.
I think as long as you're close enough in age to enjoy a decent amount of time together. There's no real answer here.
I feel like anything from the same age to 15 years difference maximum
Mentally, I'm pretty close to your age, Apple! 🙂🙃🤣
I'm NOT sure age matters as much as compatibility, similarity and communication (assuming everyone is a legal consenting adult!)
You flatter me. I'm as immature as the next guy!
Age is just a number. As long as they love each other it shouldn't matter.
Back when, it was 5-10 years as the man needs education and career first. The woman would have been raised to be a wife.
Nowadays, you tell me.
A loving heart is always young. Marry any mature age.
There shouldn't be one. You'll never get along or make progress with an age gap.
Hello,
I think it can be five years at the most and more can cause a jealousy attack.
No one has control over when love will strike! Regardless of the age gap.
Two things people on this site are really obsessed with:
1. Body count
2. Age gaps
Ideally, same age if not then not more than 10 years apart.
Age isn’t an issue for me, but yet again I don’t act one it being my age, I don't know right now I wouldn’t maybe once I’m older
I think as long as they are both consenting adults it's fine
And when I said ten years ment an age difference of up too 10 years seems fair
What ever works for them I guess. Up to 10 years isn’t strange
I'd say no older then 10 years apart.
Close to the same age in my opinion
No more than 10.
depends on what you desire
I prefer older than 10+ years is okay with me.
same age or a bit older
Ideally the guy should be 15-20 years older
Anything they choose!
About the same age
depends more on Love then Age
any of these are okay
Age gap doesn't matter
I support adoption. We need not more children, but saving children from foster care.
@HippieVeganJewslim everyone has a view. Indeed orphans and abandoned children do need a home too
Giving abandoned kids a good life is necessary, so adoption is a great head start.
@HippieVeganJewslim we forget something here. People in my country don't adopt and the orphans that we do think of adoptive parents as enemies in most cases.
I don't want to talk about it
It depends on the situation
Whatever it happens to be.
Whatever the hell they want it to be
