You could answer if you were going to meet someone in a first date what age difference would be acceptable to you or there’s an option for it does not matter what age

Um ok then... Maybe 5 years younger than me as long as they dont call me mum Older is ok I spose as long as I dont call him gramps
I think it can matter depending on how the relationship develops. I was married to someone 15yrs older than me for 16yrs. Then jealousy started to creep in and we both wanted to do different things.
Have also had a relationship with someone younger, and i had a problem with the fact i was older, the children thing for example.

That was so very nice of you to say to her I would love if we could be friends
For me, it would be within ten years either way. Too much difference if you go more than that...not enough in common. For Buzzy and I it's a 6 year gap, and it's perfect. Gives us enough commonality of experience.
I am sorry to say I might be going off men as there are some sick perverts on here like the new poll again just as well I am bi I can switch off Sorry Elaine for going off about some of the other polls just freaks me out Now to get back to yours Apart from the perverts I like older men as they treat you more like a lady and tend to be very respectful and can be as mad as hell they can be so much fun to be with my age and younger it's all about drink

I find it hard to place a limit on age. I have spent most of my adult life with someone very much older than me. And we had a wonderful time together for the most part. Yet recently I dated someone only 6 years younger and struggled with the age gap. Age is just a number as far as I have found in my life. But each to their own.
I don't view age as important in making a decision of my heart; however, I have stopped and analyzed who I have been dating. The youngest was 15 years younger than me. The oldest was my age. I believe there are far more important aspects to a partner than age. If all of those "things" match up, than go for it.

Age is not a factor for me either. I’ve dated men far younger and some much older. I've run the gamut so to speak. It really has far less to do with the chronological number and what a person’s actual individual life experiences have entailed and what they have chosen to take away from those experiences. I have met younger men that were quite stoic. I have dated older men that were silly and immature. There is no telling until you really get involved with a person.
at 22 i had a relationship with a woman 10 years older. it didnt matter then...........but at 49 now, i wouldnt do that....honest....i would prefer a younger woman, thougn not much younger 0-10 years, i guess.........so for me its relative.........
I voted same age or younger and I believe that age does matter.
For some reason I end up with people +/- 2 yrs and that works. I think the max I could tolerate would be -8, but that'd be pushing it, considering that I have a 22 yr old son. Besides, I'd be really self-conscious with a 30 yr old guy. Older men tend to be too settled, too calm and collected for my taste. They can keep up for a short time, but then they crash and need their sofa, peace and quiet to chill out. That's a wild generalization, of course and certainly not true for all, but it's been my experience.
Mental age is the key for me. If they truly have a mental age that is mature, secure, knowledgeable, inquisitive, imaginative, and vibrant, then their calendar age is not important to me, well of course legalities apply also.
I likely have this kind of a view from my parents having a 22 year difference in their ages, a sister who had close to that with her relationship, and two other friends that have had 20 and 18 year differences for theirs as well. All of which are or were good strong relationships. (Were being deceased parties on one side or the other)
So a relationship with two people of the same 'mental age' just seems natural to me.
