How much of an age gap can you accept when it comes to dating?

depends, girl older or guy older

if girl older maybe 3 years max

if older guy not so sure, personally i have dated girls 10 years younger than me, my sis married a guy 20 years older than her

Wow.. 10 years younger, any issue like generation gap?

I dated someone like 19, or 21...22
got gap in terms of these girls will play more hard to get
secondly, they unsure of what they want from dating cause they get most male attentions

It can be frustrating
but once you able to ask them out in person
fuhh, the skin to skin sensation can be totally different compared to women in their mid 30s above

I guess 3 to 5 yrs should be ok. If age gap too big then better to have a strong common interest or topic.

Sometimes I find it hard to find topic when talking to someone with big age gap.

A lot

Im late 40s male and my gf is 17 years younger than me. And Ive dated girls younger than her (20+ years gap) before her.

No uni students tho..too much lalaland in their heads (n i scared I might accidentally date my friends kids 😅).

Usually not with the person, but more likely with their friends and family.

shes in her late 20s that time, very independent and mature, we really enjoyed being with each other

she remain special to me, always will be

i dated a 18 yr old when i was 28
fun times

I'd go up to 8 yrs older than me, anything more... depends on looks

i only accept those more than 10 years younger than me.

my wife is 20yrs younger. dont bother what ppl say.

Dont mind as long as he’s not others husband or single dad. Mine 28 and him 41 😆

Once I dated someone who was almost 18 years younger. She was indecisive, naive etc but it was understandable given her age. Didn't want to waste our time, so no go.

Later I met someone who was 7 years younger than me. She was a lot more mature, well educated and she knew what she wanted. I married her.

Girl older 3 years, younger 5 years.

True. Once a woman has given up her sexual access, then we can talk about money

30 years younger also no issue.

Ideally is the same age or 1-2 years different.

If the age gap is too far, got issue that the public may not be able to see it in near term. In longer time or years to come, the issue will arise. What issue?

Imagine the age gap is > 10 years gap.

When the husband retired , the wife still working , there is mismatch of lifestyle at the later phase of life. The bigger the gap, the worse it will become if the married pair still have commitment or responsibility to take care. It will cause imbalance of life. Extrapolate it further , if the husband is to leave world ahead, the wife need to endure the alone life for years to come ~ easily another 10-20 years alone ( male have shorter life expectancy vs female ).

If both of they are loaded with resources that they can bridge their life phase gap - both retired together after one retired, at least the one surviving after another one is gone, only need to endure the life of living alone at the old age.

Don”t expect the children to live together with you as they have their own commitment. Plan for the worst case scenario not best case scenario.

my wife is 6 years older and we've been happily married 15 years now

My girlfriend is 5 years younger but she's matured and she don't like guys at her age range somehow...

This is interesting research finding

female peak attractiveness age =18

Male peak attractiveness age = 50! 😲

Personally, this is also in line with my own experience. Dating in 40s is much easier than when in 20s.

So dont lose hope guys.
