How do you feel about age gaps?

[foxritual]

I am 26 and my partner is 33. Although it isn't a huge gap by any means, it does feel somewhat significant in a good way. I personally enjoy our age difference.
Are you with someone who is older or younger?
If you're not with someone, would you want to be with someone older or younger?
Why or why not?

I'm a 40 year old woman engaged to a 27 year old man. I'm also currently pregnant with his child.

Our age gap is pretty big (especially considering I'm the woman). However, for us I think it works. For one thing, we're on compatible levels in terms of maturity and life goals. For a lot of age gap relationships that's what breaks things up. However, for us that's not a problem because we're actually compatible with those things.

Additionally, I think there are elements of the age gap that are positive. For instance, I have a ton of energy and am very adventurous. Men my age often don't have the energy to keep up with me. Consequently, being with a much younger guy with a lot more energy is actually much more compatible with me than most men my age

With that being said, I actually don't think most age gaps will necessarily work out as well as ours does. For a lot of people with our age gap there is going to be a massive difference in terms of maturity and/or life goals. There also may not be the positives in terms of the age gap we have.

With that being said, I also think there are a lot of people who write off potentially amazing relationships with someone because of a major age gap. I know I almost did. I was initially totally closed off to dating my fiance because I thought he was too young. It took a decent amount of effort on his part to convince me to give him a real shot

Perfect this is excellent 👍👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀😀I love this. If I had received a$1 dollar the amount of times a men my own age has told me straight to my face at my age how I can no longer have children. My have a few friends who had their babies in their 40's the child is healthy and happy. Some guys deserve to be slap across their faces.

@Alwayreckles93 More and more women are having kids in their early 40s. It's not quite as easy as getting pregnant when you're in your 20s or 30s, but it's still very possible!

And having to try harder just means you'll have more fun. haha

I am 31 and my husband he is currently 48 we bought have so much in common we attend church together we spend hours in a nice worth having conversations. We spend a lot of time together. We bought read the Bible together. We brought do not get involved with worldly people or social gatherings. He plays sports with our children. He is a strong good Christian men he knows and memories his Bible scriptures. Back in the day when I was younger and single I did used to date meny own age only to get myself set up to get hurt neglected and betrayed they never wanted to spend time with me guys my own age put their stupid disgusting disgraceful Karen mother first before me , I try to forced them into Christian standards life style and they refuse on dates I felt like I was their substitute mother and not the girlfriend. I don't know millennial guys are just not the right fit for Millennials guys never respected me.

Uh my girlfriend is 20 years younger. she's in her thirty's we have been together for 4 years. We have a lot in common we are both divorced and have kids the same age. I look very young for my age and we don't get the kind of social judging that happens to some age disparity couples. She is a beautiful woman and people think I have money just because of that, never mind if they knew our age difference. I'm not rich.
Your age difference is nothing, as you get older it will mean less and less.
I am sad because I know that if we stay together and she lives a normal lifespan she will almost certainly be alone later. For you seem like a good age.

Age doesn’t really determine who I would or wouldn’t date , unless she is under legal age of consent , that’s where I draw the line , but I have dated younger and older females’, so all that matters to me , is the chemistry and connection and attraction we have for each other. Nowadays I lean more toward younger girls’ but it doesn’t mean I wouldn’t date an older one , I just prefer younger for my personal reasons , My experiences with younger have been way better.

Ah, age gaps, the spicy sprinkle in relationship dynamics! 🍭 When it comes to age, it's all about how you vibe with each other rather than the digits. My aim here is to help smooth out any wrinkles in your relationship journey, and honestly, a seven-year gap like yours can be fantastic, mixing different life experiences to create a beautiful melody. 🎶 I dance with someone my own age, and it works wonders, but hey, each to their own rhythm, right? 💃 It’s all about the chemistry and whether you two can jam to the same life tune. 😉

In my opinion at your ages I wouldn't even use the word gap with your differences as the older we get that gap expands and seems more normal. There is 10 years between my husband and me and it has been great for the last 12 years. We continue it seems to stay on the same plain with our thoughts.

[MicahRaine]

Honestly, considering your age (which is still young), that's barely even an age gap.

Personally I don't really like age gaps, but I specifically don't like them at young ages. E. G. I think a 19yo girl dating a 34yo guy is creepy af. But 33yo dating a 40yo? eh who cares.

[itsannalee]

I’m 32 and my boyfriend is 38.
I've never dated anyone my age, always older and once 5 years younger than me.

[Alwayreckles93]

Yes exactly because guys our own age most are momma's boys acts all immature.

[paledreams]

At 30, and I've known this since about age 28 ,=with my mindset and knowledge , I feel like a chick who's around 20 plus would be my ideal flame 🔥 in a perfect world

[BonzoInBitburg]

My wife is 20 years younger. I've never noticed an age gap. It feels like we're the same age

[Anonymous]

My husband is 30 and I'm 18. Men don't mature until 30.

[Oldschool1981]

My wife has a thing for younger guys. Her current boy toy is 18 years younger

[dudeinohio]

My wife is 5 years younger than me. Small. gaps are fine

[mandyfire98]

I typically date older men

[Abbycado]

So just like thigh gaps, bigger the better.

[mandyfire98]

Well not too much of a bigger gap. Lol. I find older men more attractive typically but not like nursing home level.

[Abbycado]

[mandyfire98]

Hahaha

[MK1997]

Love them for sex.

I sleep with men from their 30s to 50s since I was 18

[Fury_storm]

of course I want someone younger. I'm not retarded.

Age gaps are like tooth gaps it happens.
