Personally, my preference is for women around about my age, give or take a few years, but it seems I only attract the younger version & it's beginning to bug me, as it doesn't bold well for a long & meaningful relationship. Does anyone else have this problem?

Well, I don't see that as a problem. True that age is just numbers, but for some people like me also prefer to meet someone around my age or even older :)
The age (number) is not so much of an issue as the respective maturity level of partners (IMO) and their willingness to create, and 'live the relationship'
My brother in law and sister in law have a 23 years age difference (he's the older of the two) they met and dated when she was 20, had a longish engagement during which they lived together and have been married now for 37 years.
That's certainly stronger, longer and more durable than seem to be the norm nowadays where, it sometimes seems' people are just 'looking for a relationship' as 'relationship were a 'thing' ie an item that could be acquired.
In actuality a 'relationship' is a dynamic living creation between two people who have strong positive feelings toward one another and a decent level of self esteem that enables them to know the other is sincere and so to experience the mutuality.
Without a decent level of self esteem in each there's only ever going to be difficulties
He has low self esteem she tries to build him up and he can't accept her sincerity ( and vice versa )
She has low self esteem and he grows tired of (either) feeling that he's not taken seriously when he offers her a sincere compliment, or he grows tired of her negativity ... let's face it squarely, people with low esteem do tend to be negative, pessimist, destructive thinkers ... y'know how they tend to suck the life out of you even when they have the fake happy jolly face on, they're always needling someone, trying to suck them into their dramas and so on and then they wonder why they're so lonely ...

I read anymore than 7 yrs difference is too much. For me, 4 yrs difference is the limit. I would probably call a cop on myself
