Age gaps in relationships

[Deleted member 34491]

Can relationships work with large differences in age?

I'm 42 and 10 years older than my gf (no pics) and feel that is probably the limit of what can work.

The difference is mainly small things like cultural references, things you remember from growing up.

But there's also inter-generarional differences in attitudes (Gen X v milllenial) that crop up every now and then. Nothing major, but definate differences that take some adjusting to.

I know some people do it, but I just can't imagine being with someone where the age difference is bigger, and especially anyone younger than 30. Would feel a bit wrong and just cant imagine having much in common.

Interested if anyone else as got experiences of similar or bigger age differences?

Half your age plus 7 or double your age minus 14 gives the most normal parameters. Anything else is creepy.

I am over 45, 5 years difference, we haven’t a clue what the other talks about.

I'm single and 38 and would consider any female between 20 and 65.

I could see how it worked in the past with older blokes and younger lasses, the blokes could more likely get away with being patriarchal and not giving much of a stuff about a younger lasses different points of view. Increasing unlikely to be tolerated now, with the exception of full on gold diggers / air heads.

Is that just men/women differences, or age related?

My ex was 21, I'm 35. Emphasis on the EX bit.

It was like dating someone with the mental age of a child. Doomed to fail.

The sex was canny though.

We are on different planets!

I am suave, sophisticated, mysterious, serious, almost menacing.

She is a fluffy pink happy hippo.
