A male friend of mine who is nearly fifty and divorced is dating a woman who is about thirty. When people see them together I suspect they think he is her father. He disagrees and says he looks 40 and so people just assume they are a couple.
Could you see yourself in a relationship with someone who is twenty years older or younger? Or is that just a Hollywood situation or a woman who wants a sugar daddy?
How many years difference in age would cause you to feel ill at ease?
I don't care about age. I care about, can he take me out to dinner! If he can take me to nice restaurants and buy a good bottle of wine or champagne and not flinch at the bill, well, heck, I don't care if he's 15 or 65!!!
The last thing I want to do is date a good looking guy that invites me over to sit on his couch and watch cable! I don't care if he's got 6-pack abs. You can have him!!!
However, when I get past 65 myself, I'll probably just be satisfied with a man who has a pulse and flosses regularly.

If I'm happy, I couldn't care less what other people think. I don't think I would actively pursue anyone 10+ years in either direction but if I met an incredible person of any age I would be open to getting to know them.
I'm 47 and would date anyone between 40-52, maybe up to 55, if he were young in spirit. The biggest problem I have with guys around my age are that their idea of exercise or a good time is a round of golf, and I just can't see myself as being that sedate ever. No offense to any golfers, but golf, to me, is just too slow of a game. My parents were both athletes and everyone in my family were always playing sports. My mom played tennis 3xs a week until she died at 79 years old and my dad played until he was 82, even with congestive heart failure. So if a guy is active, either plays sports or likes to hike, go whitewater rafting, etc., then I don't care how old he is. But if hanging out at the country club is his idea of a good time, I'm going to be bored. I feel like I have the energy level of a 27 year old (sometimes more like 17), so while I adjust for other people's level of activity, really prefer someone that can keep up, or push me to do more.

When I was 25/26, I dated a man who was 49/50 (I wouldn't say it's necessarily common among gay folks so much as there isn't as much of a stigma attached to it). Pop culture stuff didn't really present a problem but it did start to feel like I was dating my dad after a bit. I'm with someone my own age now and it's definitely different. I'm 30 now and I don't think I'd date someone over 40, and certainly not younger than about 27 or so.
I'm in a relationship and my bf is 23 years younger. I've already been married, built a home, had children, got divorced, you name it....I didn't set out to be involved with someone so young but it's just how it is.
Einstein gave us the theory of relativity; we thrive on agreement. Big age differences are "not in agreement" with the main stream. I'm happy and he's happy. Already tried life the convential way & it just didn't work for me.
I've got fabulous life experience & a pretty good outlook as well.
haha that is pretty funny.
