And how about the women posting here that are saying they are dating 10 to 20+ years younger
The difference is women don't seek out guys 10 or 20 years younger. Most women prefer men their age. It's the younger guys who seek out the older women. This guy, on the other hand, says he prefers women about half his age. You guys just don't get how women think. They prefer mature guys in their own age-range. But if a younger guy shows interest, is mature enough for them, and doesn't mind the age difference, they won't turn him away, if they're compatible. Unlike men, few women (if any) go around lusting after guys young enough to be their kids.

I honestly don't know. I think if you fall in love age doesn't matter. But at times I'm a realistic. Too old for either sex you have to think of medical problems and different points in life.
I am 33 myself and the girls I am in a relationship with are 31 and 25. The age differences have been insignificant.
I have no issue with any age difference per se. It is up to the people in a relationship to decide what they each want from that relationship and list them. Having decided that they should ask if the age difference is a factor that will in some way preclude or harm the things on that list. If yes then they need to rethink. If no then where is the problem?
When I was in my 20's, I was dead set on not dating anyone more than 4 years older than me. Then I met my late husband, who was 7 1/2 years older than me. I learned the guy who was perfect for me was nothing like the guy I had decided would be perfect for me and was looking for.
Now I'm 38 and my age range is 30-45. Having been widowed at 34, I'm a little hesitant to date someone older again. I also don't want to date someone who is going to retire 5-10 years before me and have nothing but free time when I still have to work. The friends I spend the most time with these days are 30-32 and it rarely feels like there is an age difference there.

For a while I was dating younger, but after dealing with a slew of immaturity issues, I raised the bar.
I'm 38 and now my range is 35-45. While I am flexible to a point on this range, I think maturity and personality factor in a lot more than age.
Now that I'm 39...I feel like the youngest I could comfortably go would be around 35 or so. I've dated a few guys significantly younger than me and it seems like we've had so little in common.
