Wife is 3.5 years younger. The biggest age difference would have been 10, me 30, her 20.

My wife is 2 years and almost 3 months younger than me. We met in college, I was in my senior year and she was a freshman.

I have dated someone 4ish years younger than me. In high school I dated a girl 2ish years older than me. I don't think I would've ever dated someone that was more than 5 years older/younger than me. I pray I never have to go through the dating scene again.

Why would anyone want to not do the "dating scene" ever again? It's pretty nice having a new chick to play around with every few weeks and the cost is fairly minimal(really after the 1st date, the cost is practically zero).

The wife is from 4 months older than me. We met right before my 21st birthday and married when we were 23... Almost been 3 years now.

I'll never forget that she told me I must be special because she NEVER dated anyone younger/the same age as her. Her ex-fiance was a few years older than her. She always sated someone at least 3-4 years older than her.

Now my mother on the other hand will be 50 this summer, and my step dad is 37 lol. My mom has a niece that's the same age as her husband haha.

My ex and myself were pretty close in age. About six months difference with me being older.

My parents were 15 years apart, so things like age difference don't really matter that much to me. They were both older when they married (51/36) which might be different than if I did it right now (38/23), but maybe not. I know a few younger types who seem brighter and more entertaining to be around then most that are more in my age group (and, as most could attest, I'm surprisingly immature for a guy pushing 40). So I guess I don't really care about their age, but more at just how I exist with them.

I'm 11 months older than my girlfriend. I once dated a woman eight years older (I was 23 she was 31) That was a disaster.

Fiancee is about a year and a half older than me. Generally I think the "half age + 7" rule works in determining what's creepy vs. what's not. For example, a 40 year old shouldn't be dating anyone younger than 27.

I like to keep it around my age, preferably a little older.

Youngest I've dated is a chick about 6 months younger than me, oldest was about 3 years older than me. I've only dated one chick younger than me.
