Age difference where the woman is older (dating, married, women)

[linkbr]

This question is mainly for women on this forum:

What is the MAXIMUM number of years junior in a man are you willing to date?

and I guess for the men, what is the maximum number of years senior in a woman are you willing to date?

As I man, I have dated a few women that were 7 years older and 4 years younger, when I was in my late 20s, early 30s, and now at 40 I've dated women 15 years younger. I should add they asked me out. As for older women I dont think I would date more than 10 years older...there are always exceptions though. You never know until you meet them.

That's a tough one... I know in High School when I was a senior, I dated a junior, although the age difference was under a year, I felt so dirty and it was scandalous.

Now that I am older, that seems like nothing at all, but(many if not most) younger guys so lack maturity...I would almost set the bottom limit at age 30, so that would be a 7 year difference mathematically. I really prefer them to be a little older. That being said, I ended up married to a man 14 years older than me.

I will likely never date anyone younger than me.

I like to stay within 6 or 7 years on either side. Once you start getting beyond that it's hard to find enough common ground.

I could see myself dating a woman up to 10 years older

10 years older is fine. I have a good friend who is 10 years older. She looks gooood too.

5 years. Any younger and I'd start to feel like I was dating my brother.

I could go five years younger, and that's it. It would also be creepy to date someone who was closer to my kids' ages than my own, so that would never happen!

probably 2 years.
