[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH and I are 7 years apart, which isn't huge but ...

Second marriage for both of us.[/quote]

I don't consider that huge, fwiw. To me "huge" is much more than 10-12 years [/quote]

It really depends on the younger person's age. A 12 year difference is "huge" if the younger person is in their early 20s. If they are in their mid-30s, it's not that big of a deal.[/quote]
DP.. I actually think it's the other way around.

When I was in my 20s, I was attracted to older men, like in their 30s.  Fast forward, I'm 48, and I would never date a 60+ year old.[/quote]

So, what are you going to do if you are single and 55? I guess you're assuming that it doesn't matter because you'll be happily married by then. I think that's the hidden assumption that underscores a lot of the "eew" reactions to age differences. You never think that you might one day be the "creepy" old person. Of course, not! You'll be married and living happily ever after! This is something that other people do![/quote]
Well, I married a man six years older when I was 32.  If I had to get remarried, I'd hope to find someone within a few years of my own age.  I certainly wouldn't think to date a man in his 60s.[/quote]
