Personally 9 yrs is the most I'd go when it comes to dating an older guy. Some say age doesn't matter if you love each other but in a way I think it does. Anyway pls feel free to give me your opinion. Thank you.

Finding a lifetime mate is very difficult in this millennium. My sister married a guy who is almost 17 years older than she is and her friends ridiculed her. To make a long story every one of her friends who did ridiculed her 39 years ago never married and raised a bunch of illegitimate children. My sister will be celebrating her 39th year of marriage this summer.

Probably not more than 12 years older than me. I won't date anyone younger than 30 because it seems to be a pivotal age for men.

After that age, you can't trust them. So they say!

I believe age appropriate relationships make the most sense too.

True story: A friend of mine married a man who was 20 years older. Now my friend who loves life and is very active doesn't get to be as active as her friends who are married to men their age. She misses out on a lot of events and has experienced serious problems in other "areas" of their relationship due to the fact her husband is elderly. Age does impact stage of life.

So keep in mind "older men" get elderly fast and there is a very high chance you will end up being his care taker.

Way too old for her. What was she thinking? Was he extremely wealthy and was she like Anna Nicole Smith?
