Age Gap Relationships?

StunningSort3082 · 2024-01-13T00:27:47+00:00

My husband and I have a 5 year gap and it isn’t even noticeable.

Best to keep an open mind and look for the traits you are looking for rather than the age.

With men, there’s just so much variation in maturity. As a mid-late twenties gal, I’ve met ambitious 19 yr olds who seem totally mature and I’d have dated if I hadn’t heard their age, and middle aged men with no aim in life who act like babies.

Personally, I wouldn’t date more than 5 years younger than me. (And any guy who’s more than 1-2 years younger would have to really blow me away.) And I wouldn’t date anyone more than 10 years older than me.

Downsides of dating a younger guy would be they might not be on as much of a timeline to settle down and have kids. Also maturity. Downsides of dating a much older man are he’ll die way before you, and his health will deteriorate way before yours does.

All my exes were 11 years older than me and it was too much. It never ended well. Wayyyy too much life had happened for them before it even happened for me.

My husband is almost 43 and I'm 33

I was always into age gaps. I’m 24 and partner is 33. We started dating a year ago. Pros: more mature, more direction and focused in life, has his shit (more) together than a 20 year old. Cons: wants kids sooner than me, is less into the sex and excitement of a relationship and going out, and more into creating a life/family/etc., also less obsessed w sex than a 20 year old which I do miss, less intensity in general and more maturity and calmness. I of course prefer someone older but it’s not perfect either. Mid-20s I would say that 42 or should be ur absolute max

Average age of discrepancy in a US marriage is 1 year, man being older. There's some data out there suggesting the average age discrepancy for highest attraction from women is 6 years, man being older, and accounting for non-physical SMV. Of course it goes without saying that all of this is utterly dependent on the accomplishments and qualities of the two people involved. For example, my husband is several years younger than I. But due to an exceptional amount of life experience for his age, and a severe lack of life experience at mine due to a history of illness, it feels like the other way around.

Why are you asking, OP?

34-44

aussiedollface2 · 2024-01-14T20:22:33+00:00

If you’re late twenties then go for 28-34 ideally imo.

Pristine-Can3719 · 2024-01-13T15:23:29+00:00

Go for at least 10 years gap

I’m 28 and and my husband is 44. Started dating at 24. It comes with a lot of challenges bc he has two grown kids and doesn’t want anymore and I used to not want them but sometimes feel like I do. But I then think it’s just because I can’t with him. Lots of hoops, bc he is very traditional and things changed a bit when I became his “wife”. (More expectations, etc). it can work but it’s not for everyone imo

As the Great Granddaddy of Age Gap Relationships, let me say:

It depends on what you like.

Most women are going to want a man within 4 years of their own age, less if he's younger.

The women who actively want an older partner generally look for men 10-12 year older.

When I was at LS my gf's parents were 16 years apart and quite happily married.

Any older than that is pushing it, and, well, let's not get started on me. ;-)

So you have to decide what works for you, and go with that.
