Have you had a sugar daddy/mommy or toy boy/been accused of stealing the cradle.

Is age important in relationships? Where do you draw the line?

Is 22 years difference TOO much?

What are your thoughts?

(Speaking purely about over 18 relationships, not under)

I've dated someone 20 years older and someone 14 years younger. Age doesn't matter to me.

Whatever gap exists between 18 and my current age is perfect, so I believe the answer is flexible.

I don't think its fair to put limits on love
like age, race, religion etc.

but I really could't see myself dating someone older than my dad

Never dated older. Biggest age gap was 8 years younger.

everyone i've ever dated is between 10 and 14 years older than i.

Always dated older

biggest gap I was 20 he was 37

smallest gap, 5 yrs difference

I don't know, its just something magical about if a guy is my dads age or older
It would just be an instant turn off

but if he's a year younger, he's okay

....btw, I realize that this makes abosultely no sense, but hey, its honest

I'm 37, my wife is 47.

I am attracted to women older than myself.

My friends are usually younger women

I am standing on the edge of a 15 year age gap right now.

It's a careful balance. I have the feeling this might not be wise...

is he older or younger?

Age doesn't really matter to me. I have always like older men. They don't seem to like me though I usually date around my own age though 'cause that's who I tend to hang around. I think that the largest age gap in one of my relationships was about 7 years. He was the older one. The youngest I dated was 3 years younger than me.

Younger. Of course I fool myself with the notion he looks/act older and I act/look younger, but that just works at moments the butterflies flutter too loudly. Heh.

But he is cute, handsome and he's got naughty eyes. So I just go with the flow for now.

Funny you should start this thread; as you can tell it's been on my mind alot of late.

HamsterHuey said:

I say just have fun with him for now! (seems like you already are though )

thekidsgirl said:

Well yeah, but you would not let me share on the other thread.

HamsterHuey said:

start your own, punk!

When I was having my "difficulties", the alleged other party was 19...allegedly,I was 36 at the time....

seriously, the physical was good....the mental, not so much...and it wasn't because she wasn't smart or anything...to me, that's where the age difference was glaring...by virtue of being older, I'd just experienced more things in deeper ways....then there was the whole thing about me starting basic training (in 1984) 3 days before she was born........so it was fun while it lasted, but it was doomed to fail....

that was the largest difference.....when I was young (19-20), the woman I was seeing was 35...no convo, though...strictly physical (her rules!!)
