I dated a girl who was 22 - just shy of 23 - when I was 17 and a senior in HS. We worked together; and even better, she was smoking hot. It only last like a month and a half.... But she made it a VERY good month and a half ;) I was also the coolest kid at the lunch table.
I'm 23 now. I'd probably date up to 29, and down to like 19/20 (she,d have to be older than my 19 y/o sister). |

I've been friendzoned by a woman who's 13 years older than me. I still kinda love her so it's painful.
I have another crush on a girl who's 8 years older than me but I know I'm in her friend zone too so I won't even bother asking her out.

I'm 22 and currently with a chick that's 28, I never imagined myself getting with a girl that much older than me tbh but when I first met her I was really drunk and didn't even find out her age til I asked her when I woke up at hers the next morning, I genuinely thought she was like 22-23 she looks quite young for her age, being seeing her for 6 months now and shits good, can't complain, some people act weird about it like my buddies and stuff but I don't really care, age is a no issue to me.

Age doesn't completely matter...but she needs to be smart/mature, and I rather she look young (I look young myself). Can be anywhere from 20-30, really.

How are you friends with a woman 13 years older? do you mean a work colleague? |

For me it was always a 4 year range (either plus or minus). I needed someone that was always near the same place in life as me.
For others? I don't judge. Everyone has their own path in life and they often do things based on what has happened before. |

Both girls are former fellow students/colleagues (but they don't know each other). The first/older one worked 10 years in the United States before she came back to France and went to the university in order to become a teacher. The other one is a PhD/researcher who somehow wanted extra qualification and ended up in the same Masters course as mine.

Pretty much this. In my case I don't like younger girls, most seem to be airheaded and immature. Now I'm not some lighthouse of maturity in the dark sea of crude jokes and wild abandon, but there's a limit to how far I go with such things.

For people with huge age gaps that are married. Its going to really suck when your partner dies like 20 years before you. Hell, it may even be something more ridic like 40 years. Can't imagine that. So I'm not in favor of it. But hey, do whatever makes you happy.

You could walk outside and have a plane fall and kill you today. Why worry about stuff down the road?

Just my nature I suppose. When picking a long term partner that was one of my criteria. If I met someone dying of cancer on a first date I probably wouldn't choose to marry them. Probably an extreme example but that's just how I think.

I understand what you are saying. It's something I don't want to think about but which is sadly the reality in my case. Needless to say, thinking about it does not really make me happy...

Funny this should come up. I am 26 dating a 43 year old woman for 1 1/2 years now. I have always been attracted to older women. I honestly have never really been able to relate to girls my age and got tired of the partying/clubbing thing real quick. She is an incredible woman and she does look really good (people guess her age at late 20s) and she is very intelligent, smart, funny, and we even play video games together :)
She's incredible in every way and I'm thinking of asking her to marry me soon. |

When my wife and I met, she had just turned 18 and I was 24. We've been together for almost five years now. The only real problem I've had with the age difference is that she has a lack of real-world experience, but of course, that comes naturally with age so it's less and less of an issue as time goes by. I was in the military from age 18 to 24, so that pushed me into the world sooner than many other people at that age, so that's where most of the real-world experience comes from.

Currently, my gf is 1 year older than me, and it seems to be working out fine.
But I think if I were ever looking, or before I had my current GF, I felt like +/- 5 years comfortably and then maybe a maximum of like 8 years either way. I feel like once you go over that decade mark at any age, it starts to get harder and less commonalities would be shared. I am speaking as someone who has never tried it, but just my estimation of the scenario. |
