When I was last dating as a 40 year old I set my range to + or - 8 years. I started off with 10 but realized that was too much. Current partner is 5 years older.

I'm a 49 year old woman and don't want to remarry. However, my dating range is 43-55 and I usually date men in their early 50s. 59 and healthy and active beats a 45 year old couch potato any day.

When I was 25 I liked the idea of an older man. Now that I'm almost 50, the idea of an older man, more than 8 years older than me, is a total turn off. I'm so glad I married someone my own age.

No more than 10

He doesn't want to either. Look around you. Women are unhealthy. They drink, eat as much as men, and are not physically active. Yet they keep saying they don't want to be a nurse to someone. It's amazing.

You don't seem to understand math.

On average women still live 6 years longer on average vs men so in this aged the husband should be 5-6 years younger to live the same lifestyle and die same day.
I’m not interested in being a nurse in my 70s. My mom is very active and travels at 72. She’s divorced and very happily so.

You NEED to marry if you don’t want to live in sin….. unless you’re going to be celibate for rest of your life

Many women are delusional

I would not marry. Especially not someone 10 years older. I am a 47-year-old woman.

As a woman married to someone nine years older I agree with this assessment.

Ten years is the complete max
Ideally five years

sure if you don't have kids why not. Max I'd go is a dozen or so years up or down. I'm 47

If you are 49, would you marry someone 59? What is your max age difference you would date as a woman?
