Default Age Gap Relationships

Was just reading on SkyNews website about Sharon Stone and her obsession with toyboys and now I'm curious.

Would you become, or are you currently, involved with someone old enough to be your parent or young enough to be your child?

Did you care what anyone else thought? Did anyone else say anything? Is it ahrder for older women and younger men than the other way around?

Is it something you feel strongly about? If so, how big an age gap does it have to be before it becomes a problem?

Hmmm - maybe I should have stipulated meaningful relationships.

Sounds like you have underage sex with yourself on a regular basis then!

My old man is 60 and his 2nd wife is about late 30's. I personally cannot stand her as she behaves like a spolit teenager.

However they have been together for about 10 years so it works for them.

My Bro went to Greece for 3 months when he was 21 and came back with a Danish wife of 32 who was stunning!

I think the age gap that is deemed acceptable" seems to get wider as you get older. When I was 19 I was going out with a 16 yr old and my mates thought that was too much of a gap, I now know several people in their 30's who have a partner with more than 5 years difference.

Chris - tbh her neice was trying to pull me.

i was a bit nervous as she only looked about 14

when she introduced me to aunty i quickly decided which was gonna be the best option!



it was a case of "changing horses in mid-stream"

I dont think the age difference should be a problem at all. Its how you feel that matters not what date you were born.

My Newish husband is 10 years my junior.
If anything, in our relationship, he's the boss man. He keeps my feet firmly on the terra firma. But at the same time, he's a laugh a minute. We must look ok together because we never get any quizzical looks. Certainly doesn't bother either of us. We is vereee happeeee!

My mum was 10 years younger than my dad, so I've never seen it as an issue. It's just that the media seems to get all in a lather when older women date younger blokes. (My hubby is only 4 years younger than me - still plenty of life in the old dog yet!)

There is seven years between me and my better half (I started seeing here when I was 27 and she was 20). Still going strong 3 years later. The trouble is I do look 30 and she still looks 20.

I met B2Z when i was 17 But i had other fish to fry at the time so that didn't happen. But it doesn't help when i could easily pass for 18yrs old and he looks 30-probably why we get looks

personally it does not bother me at all, as long as the people are happy and there is no golddigging going from either party, then it's fine.

To be honest, all the girls I've dated have been older than me, if only by a few months or years. It's kinda cool being a toyboy lol
