| | | My father was 18 years older than my mother. They were happy, they'd probably still be married if he hadn't died. I work with someone 18 years older than me and if he weren't married...well, you get the idea. You just feel something there, some kind of weird sexual tension that even the people we work with feel. We fight like we're married and damn it, sometimes we may as well be. In my case, I'm 38 and he's 56. Honestly I don't see an issue, other than he's married and I'm seeing somebody. Personally, I don't think it matters if it's 8 months, 8 years or 80 years difference, as long as both are over age and they're happy.

| | | Posted by Jonsered Didn't realize I hadn't actually answered the question.
| Oh yeah! There was a question! I personally set a +/-5 year cap that I stuck with in my mid-to-late 20s, but that was mainly because I didn't want to deal with creepy old men and arbitrary "rules" are what dating is all about right? Typically, I've dated younger... at most 5 years younger than myself. Most of those typically didn't last very long, whether by accident or by design. The younger ones were always fun, but not on the same track as my life. My long-term relationships have been with people within +/-2 years. Our goals were more in line in these cases, but because we were still relatively young, our paths eventually diverged. I can see how relationships with a greater age span can work though. It seems that history (social issues, fashion, etc) has a tendency to repeat itself, and so someone of an older generation may have lived through a similar experience as the younger generation may currently be experiencing. Not saying that anyone will be brought together solely by pegged pants, but to think that someone has to be within a certain age bracket to have commonalities with another is not entirely true. That seems to be the biggest question that comes to mind, "What could those two possibly have in common???" and it could be more than we think.

| | | Posted by heinrick Sure, it's just a number, but it sounds like we all have our little prejudices and preferences. Women generally look for older men, and men like younger ladies. Girls like to be entertained by a sugar daddy and men like to have somebody to take care of—is that an unfair assumption?
I seem to prefer women I'm not at all ready for, and the ones that like me are too immature. This sounds like the makings of a Woody Allen script.
| I think that is unfair. I have never ever wanted a man just to buy me things and I actually hate being taken care of...unless I am ill, but that doesn't count. I am VERY independent and always have been. I have always been the one that made more money in my relationships. The only issue with my making more money is that that seems to bother a lot of men. One reason I am single does tend to be the fact I am an independent woman, but I think age has nothing to do with that. I once dated a guy who used to buy me stuff all the time, anytime there was a problem...I got a new piece of jewelry, or a gift of some sort, be it candles, a new bass, jewelry box, so on and so forth. Those were nice little gifts and I enjoyed them...but they did not make up for the relationship problems that we were having at the time.
