most of my responses are from young women ,when does age become a problem

The best spread is 3 years, 3 months, and 3 days.

A generation would be the limit for me. Like 15-20 years

There is no right answer except what ever works for two consenting ADULTS. Everybody has, and is entitled to, their own views. What you do need to know is that at least 999 out of 1000 of those young women are really scammers. Most of them are dudes sitting in an internet cafe somewhere hoping to separate you from your money.

I guess it's different for everyone. I'd say within 5 years age difference.

Most Really young women are not interested. In Older men.

Ages 18 - 30

My opinion!

I think, when guacamole spread starts growing
colonies, maybe it should be replaced.

Not the good ones..

But there are a lot of Bad ones.

It really depends on the persons involved.

It is a very individual thing, right?

for me, it has always been more about matching EMOTIONAL age, than matching biological. Some times a 30 and 50 year old may be at the same stage of emotional maturity. Most times a 19 year old and a 50 year old will not be, or at least if they are, something is probably seriously off with one or the other.

At 50, a person is more likely to have experiences that the 19 year old should not have even come close to experiencing yet. That 50 year old has had to handle responsibilities the 19 year old cant fathom. That 50 year old has lived through times and standards which are going to be foreign to the 19 year old. I also tend to believe men, GENERALLY, will mature much slower than a female but that type of a gap is still far too large in terms of said maturity. Older male younger female seems more emotionally matchable, to me, than older female, younger male.

I would look more to someone having similar life experience as I have, someone who has been a parent, supported someone other than themselves, had to be concerned about someone other than themself, had to give attention to someone other than themself, than someone who has just been a 'bachelor' with no other concerns or dependents their whole life and no concerns except what makes them 'happy'.

I also would feel far too awkward with anyone not old enough to have naturally been a parent to children my kids' ages (11 and 26).

But those are my INDIVIDUAL standards ... and of course, everyone has their own.

-- I agree except I am going to say 800 out of 1000. With the other 200 or two out of ten, half or 1 out of 10 are looking for a sex partner and the other half, 1 out of 10 are looking for a long term relationship that leads to marriage.

Whatever spread keeps this question from arising.

Or..um...11? That's a good spread as they look like legs? Dammit, I know there's a spread joke similar to "is your left leg thanksgiving and your right leg christmas? I want to spread some holiday cheer," somewhere here.


Personally? Or legally?
Legally depends on state/country.
Personally, it can become a problem at any time if you want, hope, or fear it to.

I agree with you..I also looking for a elder woman..Nothing wrong with that...

Ms harmony. .you have a good understanding. .

Having never married I've dated and found myself in attractions with multiple years difference. Every situation is unique. You can't put an age on attraction but you can put an age on common decency.

If you're male the tide is already against you on all levels dating anything more than a four year spread and here's the psychology behind this: When you were in high school you were exposed to four different age groups. It isn't uncommon to see high school seniors dating freshmen and vice versa. So rule of thumb would be to avoid anything more than a high school age spread in years.

*There are always exceptions to the rule!

My last lover was 12 years older and we had fabulous chemistry. I have also dated a 22 when I was 30 years old and we were genuinely in-love. We had known each other for years and had a foundation between us and that's why it worked.

But, because this IS the internet: And, because this is a haven for stalkers and sick people with ulterior motives I would say that your best bet is to keep your interactions with those of like age in general.

The key words above being that in the above relationship we had a relationship with an age difference but we "had known each other for years", which, is very likely NOT going to be the case with online dating platforms.

Keep it clean.

Me too, but every time I paid their plane tickets to come visiting me they didn't show up. When I tried to call them on the phone, they never answered.

Can it be something I said :(

What about Anna Nicole Smith and that 90 year old millionaire? That must have been true love??

Or Hugh Hefner's girls? True love for sure!

:D

Not talking about Hollywood Stars they don't Always do the Norm.

I think diffierent people have different answers. For me, I think age dones' t matter if I really fall in love with someone. True love is precious, important than anything for me.
