Would you date or marry someone older (or younger) than you?

I'm fine with couples of different ages. But I think similarity attracts. And I might have a hard time dating someone who, for example, hadn't heard of Jimi Hendrix.

Personally, I think that it is all up to the individual. I married a guy several years younger than me... no problems so far lol.

I wont mind dating an olderwoman as long as she can still have a baby because I want to have children. The youngest woman I will date will be 28. I do not want to date a teenager as they are nightmare fuel for me.

At this point, I should be grateful for any woman being interested.

Age is just enough. It depends how compatible two people are.

My ex- husband was one year younger than me. I would prefer someone at least five years older.

My wife is two years younger than me, but that's not much. I dated a woman several years older than me when I was 20, but knew we didn't have a future. In the past, 10 or more years between a husband and his wife was not unusual as the man would often establish himself before taking a younger wife.

When you fall in love with someone you don't pick and choose their age. My husband is 9 years older than me, and it's never made the slightest difference until now, when he's becoming infirm. He's 86.

The greatest love of my life was over 20 years older than me. I would have stayed with him but there were unforeseen circumstances. My first husband was just 20 years older. It would not have mattered but we could not get over some differences that had nothing to do with age. Now my hubby is my soul mate and we have a six year difference.

What are five years? I don't find this difference worth mentioning.

My late X was five years older than me. That difference doesn't bother me. My problem comes when the age difference is as old as my kids. I simply won't date anyone 20 years or more younger than me.

I wouldn't. I like my men just a couple years older.

I don't think it is anything wrong with it. I guess it just depends on the person. I wouldn't mind marrying someone that is a couple of years younger or older than me.

I always liked the idea of a boyfriend younger than me but not more than 3 or 4 years. And as boyfriends they are great, just don`t ask for more than boyfriend.

No, I think its important to have some of the same interests and the maturity to get married. It means willing to work out problems and listen to each other.

I think there is nothing wrong if there is age gap in dating. Love is the most important thing.

I suppose if you were only seventeen and she was twelve, it would be a problem. However, five years - or more - as adults is nothing to worry about usually. My Nana was thirty years younger than my Grandad and she grew up with his children. It wasn't fishy though ... she had been married before and was widowed as a young woman.

I don't see any problems really. My son is 7 years younger than his wife but they get along just fine.

I would date some older or younger but since I'm 20 years old 18 is as low as I will date right now but that age will go up as I age. I don't think I could be 30 or 40 and date someone who is 18 or 20. Age doesn't matter to me but I just think that is weird. My current boyfriend is 3 years older than me but I have talked to someone who was 14 years old than I was. I believe as long as everyone is of legal age, consenting, and happy then it shouldn't matter what age they are.

I personally believe it depends on an individual. I would prefer a younger person than myself
