Age Difference (Gap) | Forum

I think sometimes, but not always, the age difference either way can interfere with communication due to different cultural references and expectations and it can require a little extra work. Many years ago I was involved for a while with a guy who was 20 years older than me. We had a good time and he taught me a lot about photography but it didn't last long.

<10-year difference; Male being older than the Female. NOT the other way around though. Unless of coz, you are JLO or Madonna. ;-)

jimmym, they WANT to chat, but you have to contact them first. The vast majority of middle-aged ladies register and wait for men to contact them. We have tons of them on the site, but... nobody writes to them (except for young overseas gigolos). 
And our middle-aged western gentlemen sit mute for some reason and only get unwanted messages from young visa-seekers.

Jimmym, have you ever given thought to the idea that 90% of the profiles on dating sites are fake ( both male and female)?? Meaning either they are scammers, or put there by companies that offer the service of providing those profiles to dating sites??
Did you know that a company from the UK that owns 18 "dating sites" was fined almost 2 years ago because of their fake practices??

that is just one company that got caught. Likely they got caught moreso due to their billing practices than posting fake profiles, too. I can't say for sure.
At least here you are sure the people are real, not virtual, and not outright scammers. Yeah, you still have to watch yourself and practice safe communications until you are sure of the person at the other end of the keyboard... but truth is you should always be practicing basic protections of yourself anyhow.

Not really, but it would be preferable because sometimes someone can act mature at any age, everyone live different experiences that can be relatable...

Age difference is not that important as long you are attracted to your partner. Age is just written on paper, its important what your feeling is. Don't think about your age too much.

I have seen couples who had a big diff in age who were happy. I've dated woman as young as 22 and as old as 70. I don't have to worry about visa as the ladies I'm looking at are born citizens, Puerto Rico.

Age, like anything else in life depends on your circumstances. But really age should not matter.

Does age difference affects your decision in a (potential) relationship?Age definitely affects my decision when I am looking to form a new relationship. I will always prefer the woman to be much younger than me. I could never look to form a new relationship with someone my age. I could only be with someone my age if we had been together faithfully since we were young.What is an acceptable age gap?

In my opinion and by what Ive experienced in my life, age does matter. Ive noticed that most younger men are very immature and I can handle that to an extent, but I want someone who acts like an adult and is calm but also who knows how to have fun. I already have kids, I dont need a big kid too. Lol

To some degree it does because age gaps can limit commonalities and there are also physical factors. However, these can be overcome.
