for a quicky, i dont think so, but a relationship, i think thye do.

especially big gaps (ie, younger partner is 20's and older is 50's) simply because the younger party will want to be going out all the time, if not straight away but later in life definitely.

when they turn 40, and want to start living life again, will the other party want to be going out in thier 60's? course not.

and thats when the cracks start appearing and things happen.

I think if you both want the same then then it's fine.

There's 18 years between me and my partner. He's done the marriage and kids thing and doesn't want to do it again. That's my ultimate goal in life and we both accept that. We love each other and are making each other happy until what we want comes along

Have you been in such relationship? I was 41 when i met jay he was 63, we are now 47 and 69. Would i ever have thought id be with someone that much older then my answer would be no. However, instead of cracks our relationship just gets stronger and stronger, and i wouldnt care if he was 79 as long as he was the person he is. He changed my life

the thing about being with a much older man is, they have seen it all and done it all, well not quite.

so nothing is so interesting and exciting as it is to you.

they also think they are smarter than you.

not so much to that extreme, but i got with my ex in her mid teens, and i was in my mid 20's.

i had already done all the clubbing shite and wasnt really interested, yet 10 years onto it, she wanted to start going out on a saturdya night

the music scene wasnt what i was interested in, so she went out with her friends.

hence she is my ex.

Was married very young to someone 26yrs my senior ... didn't work. Met someone else only 10yrs older, which was a bit better but still not right. Tried a toy boy with me 7yrs older and that REALLY didn't work (my kids were more mature than him!), then finally found someone only a few months older than me, which seemed to work for about 10yrs. Saying that, we split a few yrs ago and now I've met BamBam and he's 7yrs older, he's right where maturity, craziness, experience and sensuality all sit, so I would say a 7yr gap (guy older) seems to be about right. But hey, that's just how it's worked out for me

it will work if you want it to, as ive said before on threaes, the only time i think about the age is when i respond to threads on here. of cause we have some interests that are different but doesnt everyone, but we have much more in common than not.

Not sure what the age gap is between you and your partner, but something attracted you to them. I was conscious of the age gap to start with but not now and we have never had any negative comments(not so ive heard anyway lol)

Good lookxx

my brother is married to an older woman they seem quite happy.

it wouldnt bother me if my son married a woman who was 20 years older than him either.

if she didnt have any kids and was a nice person.

Do you feel you need to be accepted. Go with what you want, family and friends im sure will support you and does it really matter what strangers think.

You look young for your age so im sure that will narrow down how much the age gap looks. But go with what you want and dont think about other people

No issue with age gaps really as long as people are happy. I would consider though in long term relationships that the age gap may widen (in perception, of course only) and that 10 or 20 years down the line the original "match" may no longer be so compatible. But you can, of course, say that about relationships where there is no age gap.

I have a thing for older men, However at 32 I do want kids and I am finding that I am meeting men when I "date" that they have grown up kids and not want anymore so have had the snip.. Its difficult as I have met some really nice guys who I have got on with however they did not want the kids part.. So in my dating life I am considering dating younger men.. I just wish there was a 40ish year old man out there that had working sperm and wanted kids...

i know sex isnt everything, you need to be good friends with someone as well.

only sex is a lot more important to some people than it is to others.

When my sister was 17 she moved and moved in with someone who was 28 years older than her, to say my mother wasnt best pleased is the understatement of the year. However, over time she came to see that he treated her like a queen he absolutly worshipped the ground she walked on. They had six very happy years together. Then she married someone her own age, so its not as though she was naturally attracted to older guys

Exactl. If you meet someone who is right for you then you dismiss them just because of their date of birth that would be so sad. People worry about strange things imo x

I don't think worrying about the date of birth is strange, its my choice, I have never fancied or been attracted to anyone outside of my age as I was growing up so for me, my own age group is the norm not strange

As I am 24 years older than my partner, I have a vested interest in saying that age doesn't matter.

However, of course age gaps matter. It just depends on what kind of relationship you are looking for.

If it is purely sexual, as long as the chemistry is there, it shouldn't matter at all. If you are totally in love, you like to think that love should conquer all, but sometimes practicalities have to be taken into account depending on what is important in your life.

I stayed single for so long because I have no desire to have children and most of the women I have been with and wanted me long term, whether younger or older than me, have either had children or wanted them. Indeed, one previous partner went back to her "boring" hubbie, despite saying she was in love with me, had never had better sex and that I had saved her life because of health/psychological problems, because he wanted kids.

Fortunately, my present girlfriend does not want to have children in her life.

Of course, the fact that she is my dream woman - an intelligent, classy, elegant, politically and morally sound (vegan, environmentalist, left of centre), bi, highly-sexed, naturist swinger and totally gorgeous - helps a lot. So, even if she now decided that she wanted children, I might consider it.

Before she moved in with me, I insisted that she think about the downside of me being so much older than her - I can see more drawbacks for her than for me as I get older.

However, she said that she is in love with me and that this is the most important thing - and that she likes the fact that I am more mature, in body and mind, than the young "immature" guys she has met previously.

Of course, the fact that I enjoy watching her having sex with other men (and women) could be of benefit to us both as we get older, and could help avoid any sexual problems we might have later in life!

I have been in a relationship with a guy twice my age (I'm 31, he's 62), for 5 years and its been the only relationship that has worked for me. He has been my everything, emotionally and physically. I have always felt safe with him. Only downside is that he fusses so much, but thats because he has witnessed me going from a healthy, vivacious 26 year old, to a very poorly 31 year old.

Well there is a twenty year gap between us with the male being the older.

We've been together for over eight years and been married for five and it works for us.

Mind you this male never really grew up and is far too old to do so now. Maybe this makes a difference!

Invariably yes if you are after a specific type of playmate. Some want people older than their children, others want young studs so it matters if your criteria can be age related.
