Men how do you feel about older women? Would you date, even marry a woman 10 years older than you? 15 years older than you? Whats your limit?
Ladies - would you date, marry a man 10 years YOUNGER than you? 15 years? What is YOUR limit? Do you think it is all just a number and if the chemistry is right than age doesn't mater? Or do you believe it is essential to stay within an age range despite chemistry or love.
My boss is married to a man 13 years younger than her. She's also taller than him, haha. but they seem very in love so it works for them!
My dad was 10 years older than my mom. He had preteens and teenagers already when they met. I don't know how my mom tolerated that! but I think his kids (my half siblings) liked my mom anyways.

Yup, already did, he is almost 10 years older, currently married to him and loving it. Age is a man made chronological number and not really what counts in my opinion. Take away all the outside crap and the question should be do you Love that person without any of the other distractions.

I could easily marry younger than myself because people don't believe me when I tell them my age but, call it insecurity, I won't go younger. I'm afraid they'd one day wake up and wonder who the old woman next to them is. That would be heart-wrenching. So I'll stick with my age or older.

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.

My husband is 6 years older than me. I have always preferred older men. Don't know why. The younger ones just seemed immature at the time and not grounded or experienced. I guess the question for me now is this; now that I'm in my 40's, do I still want an older man? Of course age is just a number but there definitely has to be chemistry. I don't know if I could NOW go for a man 10-15 years older. I don't know if he could keep up with me. Did I say that out loud? LOL

We all have some sort of insecurities and there is nothing wrong with that it is just being human. I just happen to feel differently about this issue than you do. Can you imagine how boring humans would be if they all thought alike about everything?
My grandmother's second husband was 18 years younger than her, and they were married for almost 40 years, when he passed away. They got married in the late 60's, when marrying a younger man was definintely not the norm.
I'm a guy (early 40's), and I've dated different women 10 - 20 years older than myself. I've also dated women my age. To me, it's just how you click. I call it a coincidence, that the ones I clicked with more were older than I am.
If she's comfortable with dating me and could care less about our age difference, that's really cool. If she has hangups with the age difference, then that's her problem. Believe me, it's happened to me before, and frankly, that's her loss for not getting to know me for who I am, and not just rejecting me because of my age. I just figured I'm better off.
