With the way times change with what is accepted and what is not, what is "in" or "out", what do you think is an acceptable difference between ages for a man and a woman to fall in love? Obviously, underage is out of the question, but what is your opinion in age difference?

That depends on the 2 people. A wide gap is just one more thing that you have to overcome, but it works for some people.

I bring this up because from what I have witnessed in this present day. With the age 40 being the new "20's" as is said, I think it kind of changes the rules a little. If a 40 year old woman is with a 27 year old guy, well....again, the 40's is the new 20's and it seems more accpeted. BUT...if a 40 year old man is with a 27 year old woman, then it is considered kinda creepy.

Opinions???

hahaha ruckus you work for me! Tad on the young side there though Partner.

I guess it is all in the communication between 2 people. I mostly stay above the 44 age limit here. Gives me lots of lee-way and they are still mature enough to relate to me.

I think age doesn't play a big roll... Most woman I am attracted to are a little older then I am... Not grannies, but a LITTLE older... I find woman older then I am, no more or less what they want in life... I have been with a few younger woman, but didn't have much luck...

if both are mature enough to know what they want and there are not power issues I do not care about others. for myself I would not consider anyone yonger than 30 even though the girls are nice to look at I prefer a woman that has had some time to define themselves.

as for how much older a woman can be i would go with an off hand 15 years and make lots of exceptions.

Creepy? Heavens no. There is a 24 year age gap between me and my man....

What works for some, doesnt work for others.

I agree Mellybabez..I don't worry about age or gaps. Younger or older doesn't matter to me. It depends on too many other factors that I consider first.

For me, I prefer around a 10 years older age difference, or more. Men my own age just don't do it for me, and I certainly would not go younger. Give me a seasoned gentleman any day.

age is not a factor.. how you trat each other is... When I was married to my husband he was 22 and and half years older and I have dated fellows younger than myself. I think it more how you feel about each other and if you can honestly feel comfortable together.

are we talking about the business of marriage or true love??

I'f loving you is wrong ,I don't wanna be right!

lets not assume that an older gentleman is rich with some young hot ditz. Would if he's poor & she's ugly does it matter then???

it's only wrong if it makes you jealous

Well, I don't like counting very much even if it is my "bread". I would put 'AGE' thing under scrutiny in completely different way than mathematical one

My typical rule is this: If he's closer to my Mom's age (64) or my daughter's age (16) than he is to my age, then I usually pass. However, there are always exceptions.

I have found that once i turned 40 i seemed to have been attracting younger men (or maybe because i was getting older they seemed younger..lol) but i think that as someone said..the times are changing...what may have been taboo some time back...is considered the norm now...times ARE changing...and so is our views...

The older you get the wider that gap can be. This could've been posted in my thread

Of all the parameters out there...age difference is the least significant one. I care more about issues with kids, smoking, drugs, etc...get me past all of that abd if it was only age difference, I could deal with that.
