What is a reasonable age gap for a couple?


Recommended Posts

I'm not proud of the oldest one. I was out drinking until sunrise and woke up next to her at 2pm. Didn't even know who it was at first, did a "oh god damn it, again" and then did it again and then pretended to fall back asleep. :ols:

slightly off topic. Did anyone ever pass a couple on the street that makes you go, "How the **** did that happened?" I had many of those moments when I went to OBX last week.

Slightly off topic too to take this further, but I have a good friend who's nothing special to look at. Carrying some weight. Currently unemployed and driving a beat up ol' Ford escort for Pete's sake; but he never ceases to amaze with the hot woman he pulls. And I'm talking 9 and 10's here. The "How the **** did that happen" line has been mouthed amongst our group MANY times over the years. Dude just knows the exact right things to say to woman.

****!

Hail.

I am not a proud man some mornings. We thought she was an old russian hooker. She still may be, but I didn't spend any money. Skinny as a rail, with giant fake boobs. Whoops.

And they weren't dates. One was a coworker who I ended up staying out late with, she left while I was still asleep and my friend who was on the couch came upstairs and crawled into bed in the morning.

Exactly. It accounts for people getting a bit more mature as they age and keeps creepy 30 year olds from dating high school chicks.

For instance, a 30 year old dating an 18 year old is not acceptable. (30/2 = 15 + 7 equal 22, making 22 the minimum for a 30 year old, an 8 year gap).

However, if you are 50, then you can date a 32 year old, an 18 year gap (50/2 = 25 + 7 = 32).

I don't know, a 60 year old dating a 37 year old seems a little gross still.

I think as you get older, you want more than a POA.. so I'd say wherever you find the mark of where you have things in common.

Most people don't have very much in common with people 20 years their junior,, but some do. And as you get older, that gap widens.

I'm 47, prime age for the mid-life crisis. If I wanted to throw it all away and run off with someone new, it'd be nice to dream about all those 22 yr old little hardbodies roaming around.. but the charm would wear off pretty quick.

Like as soon as we got out of bed. There's just not a lot of life experience there to draw on.

besides, not to brag, but my wife looks like she's about 28, is very athletic and if I ever wanted to have my mid-life fantasy, I barely have to squint.

this entirely depends on the couple I believe. I've dated a woman who was 13 years older than me when I was in my 20's. Now I'm dating a woman who is 14 years younger than me (and going to marry her later this summer). I realize the age challenges going in, I'm 44 and she just turned 30. In all honesty I think, even at my relatively advanced age, that we're pretty close on a maturity level. I guess I'll make a follow up post in 5 years and report my findings. :)

Depends. There is no set rule but I think the age gap changes depending on if you are looking for a lifetime partner or just a hookup. If you are looking for a long time partner I have a hard time seeing the age gap at more than 6-8 years. I'm not saying that is a hardset rule but in my experience there is a lost of life and experience differences with that age that I've seen couples not be successful.

Now if you just want a meaningless hookup/relationship ... well go to town as long as they are of age but I think anything more than 10-15 years will obviously get you looks out in public and people assuming things about you and your relationship.

Please note I didn't mean to offend those that may have a relationship or partners outside my "range" just what I've seen and sort of follow and obviously there is an exception to every rule.

20 years.

21 year old and a one year old make a cute couple. Nah, that's gross.

10 years.

How about an 18 year old dating an eight year old. Yuck. Never mind.

How about five years? That 18 year old still needs to get his perverted hands away from that thirteen year old.

Hmm... 2 and a half months. I don't see any problems with that.

I'm almost 38 and have dates this week with girls who aren't in their early 20's and I'm very proud of myself. This past week, 21, 22, 30 and 43 were acceptable ages.

The CDC would like to have word with you. And the ages of your dates reads like a Fibonacci sequence.
