Can't argue with that, and I'm a 60 year old man. I think I'm almost thru the "idiot phase"!

Wow, I couldn't date/marry anyone that much older.

My husband is 13 years older than I am. I was 27 and he was 40 when we met. His childish behavior makes me the adult in the relationship.

A four year difference with female being younger, is not really significant past college.

I'm too old to work this out.

Not really a noticeable difference. I would get with someone up to 5 years older.

I know a 27yo dating a 31yo, and at that age, the difference is noticeable. (Life experience) But a 38yo dating a 34yo doesn't. Thoughts?

Interesting. I don't this age difference is a big deal no matter the genders or even if you go as young as 18 and 22.

Wow.

I wish my math skills were this on point.

My husband is 7 years older than me. We met as adults and it never seemed weird.

There is a significant difference between a 33 and 37 year old woman with regard to her child clock. There is no real difference between a 25 and 29 year old woman, or a 41 and 45 year old woman.

I married a woman 5 years younger than me. It was somewhat noticeable when she was 20 & I was 25. But, when we married 4 years later, it wasn't that noticeable.

That is not a difference to be concerned about.

Younger partner's age should be more than half the older partner's age plus 7.
