I think it depends on the people, but generally 10 ys is about the biggest, after that it seems a bit odd, you don't meld as well, don't have the same life experience, heck, even just being different generations, you don't share the same pop cultural references...
Not saying it couldn't work out, there are plenty of marriages where there is a 20 yr age gap...... specially when the people are older.... I can see a 60 yr guy with a 40, 41 yr old woman....... well, IDK.....maybe cause even then when you see them, you're still like "hmm, he must have some dough"
Why isn't it normal? Whatever works for them. Btw I think a 60 year old man dating a 41 year old woman is gross and no I wouldn't consider a man old enough to be my dad.
How is that gross? 60 year old is not that old, and a 41 year old woman is certainly all grown and mature, and start to wringle a little.

Because I don't want an old man nor do I know any other women my age who wants an old man either. I am tired of old men hitting on me, they need to find women their age.
I'm curious why you're asking, since you're married? If you already unhappy after 19 months of marriage (per your other post), maybe you should just wait until you're divorced and then take some time to figure out why you leapt into marriage with someone you apparently didn't know all that well. Jumping into dating without doing that introspection is going to make you a horrible dating partner and will likely lead to the same kind of mistakes you've made already.
Well, ask the women who marry Jack Nicholson what they think...guess it depends on how many zeros you can put on your resume?
When I was 25 I dated a 40 year old lady. It didn't hurt that she used to be a model for a famous european designer and had a body that would make a 20 year old envious.
My father was 19 years older than my mother, and I don't recall ever realizing the difference when I was a child. I am 15 years older than my wife, but we are still within the same generation (baby boomers), so we relate well on music, politics, etc.
Different folks, different strokes.
I think it's about what you prefer. There are good things and bad things about going too far under or staying within the same age range. It depends on many things and your own age. For instance do you want kids and a family or are you okay with being an "old" father if the women you meet have marriage/family as a goal? Will you feel older if you don't know who her and her friends are talking about if they talk about music, etc? Do you like being able to share nostalgia with someone who will get your references to music, movies, the times you grew up in? Will you feel funny bringing home someone 20 years younger to family events, etc? Are you likely to have similar interests, want to go on the same type vacations, concerts, etc?
Are you asking in general or is there someone you are wondering if you should pursue?
Just asking in general. Cause i dated someone10yrs younger,16yrs younger and now married somone 7yrs younger, not sure where I was happiest?
Maybe you need to focus on being happy inside first, because with all those marriages, the latest 19 months old and already unraveling, it's possible that part of the problem is you're looking for a woman to make you happy rather than working from inside out and then finding someone to share your happiness with? How long have you spent alone between these relationships?
