| | Is a 9 year age difference too much?Page 6 of 11 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11) | | My father was 10 years older than my mother. I was 6 years older than my wife of 23 years...have an uncle that's been married for 30 years to a woman 30 years younger...when I was 52 I dated a 26 year old for a long time but she had kids ,I had kids...so now we're just best freinds. My oldest daughters is 25 and with a 37 year old. Age doesn't mean anything if you're into each other. In my opinion age can be a problem when other issues are involved . If I married a 24 ear old it would be rediculous because she'd have a step daughter a year older than her. But 38 and 29 is nothing my friend | |

Posted: 9/5/2007 8:19:19 PM | | I dated someone who was 15 years older than me once. I was 23 and he was 38. It depends on the two people and their maturity levels. Unfortunately that relationship didn't last - While we was on my mental level - he just couldn't keep up in other areas (I don't mean all sexual either). I'm a very energetic person. I can't sit around and do nothing all day. Great conversation, but otherwise - not compatible. | |

Posted: 9/5/2007 8:24:58 PM | | I was 9 years older than my ex, it was weird at first, but after a while you just grow into it and it doesnt even matter. If you have a lot of the same interests and love each other, whats the difference?? | |

Posted: 9/6/2007 8:05:10 AM | | I was 21 and my ex was 30, he was more immature than me- but the age gap made a lot of difference in our relationship in that he was so stuck in his ways after being stubborn all his life that there was no room for change! I think with us it had a big effect, not becasue of the actual age difference- but in that he was an immature t**t!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |

Posted: 9/6/2007 8:09:39 AM | Of course, it depends how the personalities mesh but otherwise 38 to 29 shouldn't be a problem. Neither of you are kids anymore...I assume.

I wouldn't date a man much older than me because they don't care how they look like. Even when they do sports etc but the skin, teeth, you name it - still give away the age. Women generally look after themselves.......however, I always think about that when I date someone 10-14 years younger.
I think men try to kid themselves when they put on their profiles ages they want to date 20-15 years younger...........maybe they want to but who will let them............LOL | |

Posted: 9/6/2007 9:13:46 AM | | Sunnybunny is right. I prefer younger men also,,because of looks. Older men or close to it >>let themselves go,,mostly,,and I seem to be attracted to younger,,some times younger,,andthey r to me// Im not saying Im against men close to my age,,just that in most cases,,, if they r 10---20 plus years younger,I have had more in comon and more of an attraction,BUTTTT I am open,,and do try to date men closer to my age,,all depends on them,,, I am 56 now,,and I am told I dont look or act it,,so if I meet a man near my age that has a young attitude and appearance then,,we will c......

Posted: 9/6/2007 2:43:14 PM | | A good rule of thumb is when they start to date a woman should be half the man's age plus seven years. In your case 19+7=26; so 29 is within an acceptable range for you. | |

Posted: 9/6/2007 2:47:01 PM | YEAH! My EX-husband is 12 yrs older than I. That's WAY too old - he's an old fart now! LOL.... but the other way around... like as in a younger guy! Oh YEAH!!!! YEAH BABY YEAH!!!
Usually it's other differences between people that make them incompatible - certainly some things that are associated with age can make a difference - but maturity (or immaturity) is not always directly correlated to age.

Posted: 9/6/2007 2:55:17 PM | My first wife was 10 yrs younger and the second 9, had no age problems at all. I have dated girls 20 yrs younger and 8 yrs older at times. It was some connection that was needed to make them work. I have had girls just 5 yrs younger say I was too old so go figure! | |
