And do you have any experiences or stories from old relationships, new relationships, current relationships?

I'm willing to go down to mid-20s, so about 7 years younger, but ideally, no more than 4-5 years younger.

I think at the moment it means roughly late 20s which is around 8-9 years. If they are mature (aka act their age) then it works out ok.

I don't have any experiences or stories. But I wouldn't go younger than 27 or older then 43 and I am 34.

I only went out with 5 younger.One was a cheap b* and I picked him up to go to a haunted house.He convently
"Forgot his wallet".Then wanted me to drive him around.(I know how you dudes feel).Then next guy was my goodguy friend's best friend (he ruled! Still friends with him) An online guy I met lied about his pic and was clearly way too young.lol Never wanted to see him again.Another online guy was a wackjob that talked into his coat and thought it was funny. (Weirdo) The most recent was in 2012 he was 30 and I was 34.He was a friend of a friend set up date.He was soooo boring talked more than a woman.My eyes glazed over.

Unwilling. I don't get involved with younger. I'm 29. When I reentered the dating scene I found myself matched with older men. The very first guy I went out with was 40, and I was 27. We went out on a about 3-4 dates. The next guy was 41/42.

The two relationships I was in the men were 41 (at 27) and 39 (28) respectively. The vast majority have been in their late 30's to early 40's. I can count about six or seven men, out of dozens, that were under 35. One time dates with all of them.

After a while I knew older men were more my speed, and would not look for or date anyone younger than, say, 34 unless we had similar backgrounds and objectives. My husband is one of the youngest, 36 next month.

My ex-husband will be 31 in August. However, we met/married as teens, and he's not quite the typical 30 year old in mindset or demeanor at all.

I don't care about a number. I'm fine with a guy my age, as long as they are in decent shape and healthy. Unfortunately, most men my age are not, so I tend to date younger.

I've had multi-year relationships 10 years younger and 9 years older. Both were a stretch, for me, but I would have married them if other factors had been different.

Those were unusual situations, though. I am much more often compatible with someone within 5 years of my age, 7 at the outside.
