When is an age difference too much? (135)
itsmejackie: I do not care about age. As long as we love each-other .... age would not matter.
OK then so - Come to the UK and marry me
Bump.....
When the individual/s involved decide it is. It's up to them.
when one is old enough to be the other ones great-grand-parent
I figure anything under the age of 18 is not a good thing but if you are over that age and you figure out that you are in love with someone and they are in love with you then who is to say it is not right
Can't read all the responses, so forgive if I am repeating...
My mother was seven years older than my Dad, and he died years before she did.
10 years is not that much of a difference.
I would base it on how much compatibility and love was in the relationship; that's what makes it last; not the age.
Don't let other people's "disapproval" deprive you of happiness; unless you agree with them that the match won't work. Many old stigma's are being slowly broken down, and there are happy couples that remain married with much larger age differences.

Elegsabiff: When a guy is not only over 10 years younger, but looks 10 years younger than he really is, insists he is seriously keen on a woman he knows well in real life, and the woman is saying NO purely on the basis of what people will think of them as a couple ... is she right or wrong?
It truly is up to the people involved. Can they interact as a couple with out caring or worrying what others say or think?
My own reservations limit roughly 8 years younger than me. Not sure I trust mid 30's much.
I don't mind up to 12 years older how ever. I can't explain why that is, but that's the range I seem to be feel most comfortable with, and no internal questioning.
Keep in mind that what we say or "type" here, could be dramatically subject to change in life. We never know when that exception to the rule will strike us down and make us eat crow.
If there's a spark or interest and it's possible; those people should find out to know for certain. At the very least, one or both gain some sort of closure. At the very best, you have your partner to continue the journey where ever it may lead.
for me age is an important factor in the equation – (+- 5years). don’t want Lolita’s or “mothers” - both physical and mental.
ageism is actually illegal in the European Union. These ole timer threads are so funny to read. It's like threads about when should you whip your field niggaz. Quaint
Would you rather meet her, fall in love with her, and see how ashamed she is of you everytime you look into her eyes?

I don't understand, if she is ashamed of you why would you want to be with her?

Regarding the aging cheese.
Now we know that's not true.
Would be nice though.

The facts are that regardless of what you think, if two adults above the age of consent regardless of any age gap decide they wish to be together they have the legal right to be so.
