Are you old enough? (25)
Damianowen: How much age difference is to much in a relationship? My 21 year old cousin just had a baby to her 37 year old boyfriend. I had a friend who dated an 18 year old girl when he was 40. I have another friend who married a 52 year old woman when he was in his mid 20s. (At this point I would like to add that most of the people I know that are in relationships have only a few years age difference) What's the consensus at CS?
My personal thoughts on this Damian are simply that it depends on what stage of life someone is at...
So that means that it would be fine for a 35 year old to date a 25 year old in some circumstances... but also that it would be very innopriate in others...
Perhaps what needs to be looked at is the reason someone is particularly looking for a specific age group...
An example of this would be a young vunerable woman seeking an older man 'to look after' her...

I prefer my men older (not much older) than me but as long as they aren't too much younger and have similar life experience eg, had a serious relationship and kids, i would be happy enough with that. I say the life experience thing at this stage as there are a lot of guys around my age that haven't settled down and had kids and i really do not want that pressure. I have had all the kids i am having and I don't want to deny someone else that experience.

I do agree with you there. Sometimes there are ulterior motives for being with someone/anyone. But also, our preferences are the product of our experiences. eg. My friend who married a much older woman, I know his choice had a lot to do with the way he was brought up but being brought up that way, he had no other choice ! That's just what he wanted and he's still happy 10 years later.

Thanks for bringing this subject up Damian. Very relevant on this site!
I will be 57 in 2mths time and find that the vast majority of men in my "age bracket" are very boring!!! I want to get out there and have fun! I want to stay up all night talking or 'whatver'. Just coz I'm 3yrs off 60 doesn't mean I'm dead! I think too, that a lot of people have forgotten how to have fun, how to be kids again and enjoy life. Let's face it, the kid in us never dies! It just gets buried under whole heap of crap that life throws at us. Ir we can keep 'the kid' alive, we're winning hands down!
So, really, age does not matter one whit! As long as you both can relate to the child within.

Ive had relationships with men considerably older, and considerably younger. Age is not an issue for me.

No way never been into younger. Younger kinda creeps me out to be honest.------ This poll is Archived ------
I met a woman yesterday. She met her husband when she was 21. She's turning 43 soon and her husband is turning 60. She said she has no regrets what so ever about marying an older man. Her only gripe was that he spent to much time at work and not enough time with their children but that sounds familiar!

Believe it all not! 
My partner was 17 years older than me. 
We were together for 13 years. 
So now that is over I think I would prefer someone more my own age, give or take a few years. Age does not matter if you are confortable with it. Love is blind! I could not have anyone more than a five years younger as it would be my ego steppin in. Also I think it would be selfish on my part. But.....
I wont tell if u dont.

my last partner was ten years younger...now that had advantages as well as disadvantages
my sister had a partner 17 yrs older
would i be with someone younger again.....sure...if it was the right person...oh and id be just as happy with an older person too.
it doesnt really matter as long as you are happy with eachother...other people can think what they want

kimmyz18: I wouldn't date someone younger then me, only because of the maturity levels guys have. I have not yet met a guy younger then me that isn't immature!
Just stay away from guys altogether.A little motherly advice
