How big a deal is age?

I know some men have a certain age range that they stick to when their looking for a man, either for a long term, or casual relationship. But say you meet someone that is older, or younger then you would normally go for, but there is something about them that attracts you. Do you take a chance and go for it, or do you stick to your guns? I'am thinking maybe 10 to 20 years difference.
 
For sex, doesn't really matter

For relationship, 21-35. I'd ideally like to grow old with whomever I'm with.
 
I think it's a bigger deal than most people care to admit...

I wouldn't go much younger than myself, but I would definitely go older.

I'm the opposite. I wouldn't go older, but I'd go way younger. As long as they're 18+, I'm game.
 
I agree with the people who have said that everyone is different. You can't assume that an entire group of people is exactly the same. So, why even have age limitations when it comes to relationships? I mean, of course, you have to stay in terms of what is legal. But, you could throw away the one you could've been with for the rest of your life due to something as irrelevant as age. I'd rather take people for who they are as a person.
 
I lost my virginity to a guy in his 40s when I was 17. As everyone's said, age is just a number.

I have to agree with you. Their is a couple who live in my building, she's 66, attractive and very active. Her husband is in his 80's and has been home bound from a stroke the 5 years I have lived here. I give credit to people that can see past a large age gap.
 
It matters to me! I like guys my own age within a few years. Always have, even when I was a kid. I feel like I'm in the minority here, everyone else on this forum seems to be open to and even prefer wide age gap.

Personally, I wouldn't want the age difference to be more than five years.

That's about where I stand as well. Well five years older that is. Five years younger would be illegal. So i'll say 20-26 -ish.
 
Age is not just a number. Usually it corresponds with where you are in life. And if you're in different places, sometimes it is harder to build a connection that lasts. On the other hand, sometimes some people are just suited for each other, even with a significant age difference.

One thing I really am skeptical about is young people who say "I'm just more mature than people my age so I have to look for someone older."

Usually this means "I'm slightly more mature than people my age, so I will find someone older who is actually very immature for his age if I only stopped to think about it." That doesn't work out so well.
 
Where sex alone is concerned, age is of little importance to me if I find the guy attractive.* But I couldn't really imagine being in an LTR with anyone more than 10 years plus/minus my own age, and I would probably feel even more comfortable with a max of 5 years difference.

I have no problem with huge age differences in other people's relationships, but a 90 year old and a 16 year old together (legal in UK for heteros and homos) is somewhat more extreme than a 40 year old and a 20 year old.


*However, whereas I've shagged guys a lot younger than myself, I have still yet to find a gay guy of my own age who would even give me a second glance ... but I live in hope.
 
seven or eight years is the max I would have been willing to go. A difference of a decade or more would be too much for me.
 
Not really a big deal to me, as long as it is within reasonable range of my own age. I'm 24 and in the past year I've dated one guy who was 19 and currently with another who is 29. I can't say I could see myself dating someone older than 35 though.
 
I wouldn't judge. If two people wanted to date eachother and they had a significant age gap, then good for them.

But for me, I would be comfortable to be with someone up to ten years older than I am. I wouldn't really like being with someone who'd be a father-figure. I guess I'd be more comfortable with someone around my age.
 
I don't know if I could answer "either/or". I wouldn't "stick to my guns", nor would I "throw caution to the wind". I'd say to myself "Self, this guy is intriguing even though he's outside your normal age range. What do you say we get to know him better, see if we really click, and then decide if we should make it official?"

Honestly, I always thought it would be a bigger deal than it actually is. My partner is 17 years younger than me, and we click on almost every level.
 
Age can be an end all for me. I could never be with someone closer to my father's age than my own. On the same token I could never be with anyone much younger than myself.
