Female here and I would not date or marry 10yrs younger than myself at this state in my life (37yrs) assuming my husband and I were not together anymore.
I just don't think I could possibly have much in common with someone that much younger.
As for older...it would depend on whether or not he acts his age.
I'd rather marry someone 20 year's older then men if we connected, loved each other and have mutual interests than marry someone 1 week older then me that I hated, had no connection with and had nothing in common with.
Age is just a number.
For me (guy in his early 40s), I can't have any more children, I don't want any more children, and I don't want to get married again. Dating women older than me is a win/win situation, as most women older than me don't want marriage or children either. If I dated women younger than me, most (not all) would want marriage and children. So for me, dating women older than me (as well as my age) is a good thing.
I wish I could get myself to think like this. I've turned down many a younger man because of my insecurities over other people's ageism.
I think as a woman gets older, she makes peace with the ageism. A man of 60 in the throes of ageism could marry a 50 year old woman and still think he is "settling"
No, because that would make her 29. I would date/marry a woman up to one year older and two years younger. If I'm over 24 and still unmarried, maybe I'll expand it to 3 years.
Oh the luxury of youth to set limits with months' precision. Somehow a 45 yo setting limits between 42 years 7 months and 47 years 3 months doesn't jive
My husband is 10 years older than me, we are soul mates, our hobbies, interests, values, morals, personalities, sense of humor, goals and religious views are pretty much aligned (not to say that we are clones or something). When I first starting dating him, it didn't even occur to me to ask how old he was, it just did not occur. I love him!!

What? I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by this.
My girlfriend is 9 yrs younger. It just happened that way. We are both in good shape and I can relate easier to her than lots of ladies my own age.
