Hef and Berlusconi come to mind...

I've always been drawn to older women. They're straight up about what they want, confident enough to know they can get it, and are willing to take that extra step to do something about it. Younger women always need to have everything brought to them. Older women will grab that shit while its in front of their face.

If the relationship is casual, there probably aren't any significant barriers (barring the legal ones) to large age differences. If, on the other hand, you are looking for a life-partner, my experience suggests that closer in age is better.

In addition, the power balance/imbalance in the relationship probably also plays a role -- if you are interested in relative equality, closer in age is likely best; if you are a control-freak or submissive, then greater age disparity may be your thing.

In my opinion, age doesn't matter. Like someone else said in this topic, it doesn't matter if it's love.

I'm 20 and dating a 27, going on 28 very soon, guy. It's not much of a difference, but if you think about it, we're at different stages in our lives. Although, I think our relationship is different than others only because we see eye to eye on almost everything. Almost. (; And many other things that I cannot explain. I can also see age related issues at times. They are not HUGE problems, if they were then we wouldn't be discussing marriage. I guess what I'm saying is that it all depends on the people involved in the relationship, as with any form of relationship. I had an ex-boyfriend of many years that was a few months older than me, even though we were almost the same age, we were NOT at the same maturity level. It was a train wreck, actually.

Anyways! I think it all depends on the people involved. Love is love!
..Unless you're 51 marrying a 16 year old. That's pushing it!

They are generally more interesting to talk to IMO.I've found my self bored to tears having conversations with women my age.

for what it's worth, ms. foodguy is 6 years older than i am. was a little odd when we were first married ... then through the 30s and 40s not a second thought. she's retiring (early) next week, though, and i'm still looking at another 6-7 years and i'm all .
seriously, though, what really matters is not chronological age but maturity. i was older when i was younger and she's younger now that she's older.
