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.

I'm 29, my girlfriend is 21 yrs old. It doesn't bother me and she doesn't care either. Been together for 8 months now and I'm very happy in this relationship. She's quite mature for her age also and I do like her goofyness on the other hand.

Generally no younger than 20. The girl in my last relationship was 6 years my senior, so dating older doesn't really bother me.

At 25 I could easily see myself dating someone in their 40s.

I'm closing in on 30. Id date 22-34 although I'm starting to find younger girls too annoying do I generally avoid.

If it was just sex the it doesn't really matter as long as you're legal and look good.

Around my age, normally.

First girlfriend was a year younger.
Second was 2 months younger.
Current girlfriend is a year and 5 months younger.

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.

That said she's always looked a good 6 years or so younger than she is :D

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.

Current GF is 11 or 12 years younger, depending on time of year. Previous one was 10/11 years younger.

I prefer younger women. Though I am not completely closed off to dating a woman my age or a little bit older.

I probably wouldn't date anyone under 24/25.

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.

I think that generally any gap less than ten years is acceptable, as long as both persons are of age and willing. Of course, when one partner is fifty and the other is forty, the gap becomes much less significant.

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.

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.

Before my husband and I got together I dated guys that were anywhere from a few months older than me to almost 10+ years older.

I'm 28 and my husband is 25.
