After all the furore about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes ... about the age difference (about 16 years). I was first shocked by Messr Cruise being referred to in terms that he was practically geriatric at 42 :eek: :tears: , but then the 'baby snatching' comments. On reflection I didnt think there was an issue here, possible due to the fact that I've been in a relationship with a wider age gap.

So ... what is an acceptable age difference for a bloke? AND I KNOW it can go the other way ... but I just curious as to what the consensus is.

:yeah:
I've got no sympathy with the "She's too young / old for him" argument, especially when it's a visual or physical basis being used for such a judgement. That's just sad.

Medically, you could argue that women should always look for men 5-7 years younger than them, in that their life expectancies are likely to be similar. But hell, you could also make a case for saying women should look for men significantly older than them, in that they are likely to be a better provider for any children.

In this life, if you find someone who makes you happy, that's the only thing that matters.

Having said that... age difference is like other differences - if it's too big, it can be one of the factors making relationships difficult. It's like different ethnicities, different nationalities, and other cultural factors - people of the same age are more likely share many of the shame cultural experiences and values, and this can make things easier in relationships.

On the other hand, you want some differentiators to keep things interesting - the trick is to strike the balance.

So a large age difference can potentially make relationships difficult - but compared to the many other things that can make relationships difficult, we (and the media) place far far too much emphasis on the age thing.

Or, to quote Cordelia in an Angel episode "I mean, you're half-demon, that is so far down the list. Way under short... and poor.."

Where's the women dating younger men option then eh ????

Its a well known fact that, sexually, men peak in their late teens early twenties, and women in their 30's.... So in theory, for sexual compatibility, and nothing else, honest, it should be older women dating younger men... Surely.... come on girls you must agree with me.... :drool:

Older men should really be put out to pasture to admire the daisies....:wink:

I have no problem with that. It's quite a relief not to be at the mercy of all those 'orrible 'ormones. And if the daisies are light and responsive, that's all that matters.

IMHO I prefer the older man and I dont mean geriatric but I mean at least 5+ years older than me.
I find that they have a confidence sort of self assurance with who they are and what they are about, more focused than the average 20 year old.:D

I find that men who are significantly older than me are often far more sexist than younger men because of the era they were brought up in. That illusion of focussed self-assurance tends to diminish in importance the older a woman gets, IMO.

From the woman's point of view, it might not seem to matter that a man is 20years older when she is 20 and he is 40. But when she is 50, and in the prime of life, he will be a geriatric, impotent, 70 year old. Well, we hope not, but such things do happen! She might also expect to have a long widowhood (though that could be quite fun :devil:)
Also, at 20, a woman still has a lot of growing-up to do and that could destabilise the relationship in the future, especially if the dynamics depend on her taking a diffident, dependent or child-like role.

Like Foxylady, I think we should have a poll about women dating younger men.
Not that I advocate this, in my limited experience it would make me even more insecure than I am already!

I think relationships stand most chance of success when there is a match across a range of values, attitudes & characteristics, and age might be one of these. But not necessarily.

Just happened to read it, huh, David? :whistle:

From that article, this quote made me laugh: "Thanks to Strictly Come Dancing, Brendan is now a big star - and she fell for him."
Big star? Whoo, the Ego Has Landed.

Going back to the original point:

After all the furore about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes ... about the age difference (about 16 years).
I think it's interesting that in both these cases, it's not so much the age difference as the (real or not) power difference.

Is Brendan exploiting this teenager? Dunno, but you have to wonder, Brendan's got bad-boy form after all, so I'd be worried if I were her parent.

Is Tom Cruise exploiting Katie Holmes? He's arguably the biggest movie star on the planet, and again you have to wonder, the whole "Have my babies for the sake of Scientology" thing is fairly weird...

But then, so many of these relationships occur in celeb-land, and some of them do seem to work - look at Brucie and his wife, or Paul McCartney and Heather Mills.

So age doesn't matter, but power imbalances may do - it's like going out with your boss or your teacher, there's always a potential for exploitation. Not that I'd ever suggest any male MJ teacher would ever use his position to get the hot chicks, oh no. :whistle:

IMHO it's all down to differences. Be they age, culture, aspirations, etc.

Differences can make a relationship difficult and they can make a relationship fun. It probably depends on the attitude of both partners. If you have an image of the person you should be with and the person you are with doesn't fit that image you've got a problem :tears:

I personally prefer older men....... In my experience, men seem to mature veeeeeery slowly....... And dating younger men sometimes feels more like baby-sitting! :rolleyes: :rofl:

I also think it's highly unfair that men very often look great as they get older (up to a certain point, anyway!), but women seem to just droop and look old, not distinguished! Grrr....:mad:

I have no real problems with older men dating younger women, or indeed the other way around, unless one of them is indeed so young an inexperienced that they are being taken advantage of by the older partner. I've seen that happen a few times. :( And I don't think it's just women who like older partners, some men seem quite attracted to more mature women, too. A friend of mine, who's in her 40s, dated a guy about 20 years her junior. She said the sex was great! :D

Isn't the standard rule "half the guy's age and add 7"?

So a 40 year old should go no younger than a 27 year old.

If you believe in rules...

My ex husband was 22 years older than me. We were together 13 years & had 3 children. I loved him dearly it just didn't work out in the long term.

Yes my family disapproved, yes people frowned down on us, but we were happy & within a short space of time people could see that & we were accepted as a couple.

I have no regrets!!!!!

I think age is irrelevant as long as you have the love and trust needed for a good relationship. I haven't dated for 20 years and my husband is slightly younger than me and all my boyfriends previous were younger than myself. I've never found older men attractive! But then maybe because i'm not single and looking, probably couldn't afford to be quite so fussy if i was.:devil: Aren't we all the same age in our heads? I still feel the same as i did when i was in my 20's, i just try to avoid the mirror as it reminds me of the time that's passed.:tears:
The dancing scene does seem to diminish age gaps, i can remember going to a venue with good mates Nigel 60, myself 40 and Emma 20,so 3 generations in one car but all having a ball together. :clap:

:yeah:

I agree, I've dated men of a variety of ages (from 8 years younger to 14 years older than me) and everytime it's the person themself not the age that is the attraction, be it a mutual interest, or even a difference, when you meet someone there has to be a connection. That connection may last for a relatively short time or a longer time, just because there may be a difference in the ages of the people does not mean that the relationship isn't valid or any less real to the people involved. We are attracted to other people for a variety of reasons, some relationships last others don't, but every relationship teaches you more about who you are and what you do and don't want from life.

Getting back onto topic

Any age difference is acceptable - providing it's legal and there is no obvious misuse of position and most importantly the people involved are happy.

Although still fairly true , wifey 1 wouldnt tell me how old she was for first 4 months (she was 7 yrs older then me) we nearly split up over it ! (why the hell she did tell me after 4 months Ill never know :sad: several more years to endure , why did she have to tell me !:sad: :sad: )

:yeah:

I am in my 30's and frequently spend time with a group of good friends in the dancing scene who are in their 40's and 50's. I tend to forget their age.

I think regarding an "age limit" that is up to the individuals concerned. If we were all the same life would be boring. I've gone out with younger and older men, personally I have always preferred older as (IMHO) I have found them to be more interesting and usually know what they want out of life.

I would agree with those who are saying that it is all about being happy, for some people that age gap is going to cause too many problems for the happiness to last. How far into the future should you be looking when going into such a relationship?

The biggest age gap I've come across on the MJ scene is 32 years, both great dancers and charming people. I had no idea that there was such a gap until the guy cryptically let it slip, and although it was interesting to know, it seemed irrelevant.

One thing I would not be expecting a partner to do is to devote her life to nursing me in my dotage. (Not that I'm planning to grow old and infirm, I'd prefer to go out with a bang!) How could I expect someone to commit to, and be happy with that as their main role in life? Perversely I think I would be more accepting if the role was reversed and I was doing the nursing. How can you plan for tragedy in life though?There are plenty of people who end up doing a similar role due to accident or illness when age is not a factor.

I don't think age should make a difference I spent 13 years with with a partner my own age and although was good at start and difficult towards end he made a choice to seek many an older woman.
(I got better deal so no soap box 4 great kids! and single life which meant lots and lots of dancing:clap: )
In the last 4 half years since joining the singletons I have had one short relationship with someone 9 years my junior(is also one of my bestest friends) which was fantastic great fun good sex but did find that many of his priorities as a 23 old at the time were no where near the same as mine. We decided to go back to being friends and can now reflect back on good things as well as bad and still have a giggle to this day about it.
I do spend my time whether dancing or not in mixed company of friends from their early 20's - ? ( Actually really don't know how old some of my friends are!:blush: ) After seeing someone more than 10 years my senior :whistle: for a while I think different things atttracted us similar interests, a good laugh,great sex :whistle: and greater understanding of that we all have a past I guess!

So if both people involved are happy and no-one is being hurt it shouldn't make any difference what others think is right or wrong!:yeah:

Did anyone see the documentary 'old enough to be his mother' on Channel 5 last night? In one case, the woman was old to enough to be his grandmother, there was a 39 year old age difference :really: The bit I found hard to digest was the scene of this couple having a shower together. Fair enough they are 'in love' but IMO the scene was unnecessary, especially as it didn't have this slant with any of the other couples. The funniest bit for me was when the English woman who emigrated to Spain (the papers accused her of abandoning her daughter) for her spanish toyboy, started talking about having kids and the guy looked aghast, all he is interested in is marriage and err....perhaps citizenship?? :rofl:

One of my best freinds is engaged (after a few years) to someone that is roughly the same age as his mum - they met at a night out with her youngest daughter when she was at uni (only a couple of years between the daughter and my friend). :shrug:
The only negative is that my freind will never have children of his own because she has been there & done that and they have all now fled home. But his sister has four and I have three that keep him amused :D

The problem with all this of course is there maybe genuine people out there looking fro love marriage and long commitment. (wether there from Russia or South East Asia or where ever)

I can only see a growing number of men and I guess women being dis encharted with what is 'on offer' in UK and going down this route .

I read and it maybe crap but the average duration of an English man marrying a russian women last longer then the average duration of English man marrying a English women

One may question the 'type' of man marrying russian/philipino etc brides?:whistle: Less likely to let go og such an expensive asset?


What is that 'type' of man. Dirty old men in raincoats going to Moscow aged 65 looking for 25yr old brides. Or lawyers/doctors in there 30s/40s who are 'fed up' with whats on offer here and look a abroad for women with plough expereince

Ive read a few of the replies and there are two unexamined assumptions that need to be questioned:
1) that all individuals of the same (sort of) age are in the same shape
2) that if there is a large disparity in age it is the younger which is the exploited one (if exploitation occurs).

On (1), clearly if you eat the right things and get plenty of exercise and have the right genotype you will look younger and, physically, you will be younger. One test is the skin test - if you pinch the skin on the back of your and it springs back immediately you are younger than the person whose skin dallies around..
On (2) it might be argued that an older person might have material goods and spiritual/intelectual "properties" that could well be "exploitable". Suppose a young girl lives at home out of necessity, hasnt had much experience of life and isnt well read (for whatever reason(s)) and meets a guy who has a nice flat, wellstocked bookshelf and is "experienced" (in the Hendrix sense) - she might well think "I"ll have some of that, thankyou very much.."

(that should be back of your hand, by the way - see on (1))!!!

The problem with all this of course is there maybe genuine people out there looking fro love marriage and long commitment. (wether there from Russia or South East Asia or where ever)

I can only see a growing number of men and I guess women being dis encharted with what is 'on offer' in UK and going down this route .

I read and it maybe crap but the average duration of an English man marrying a russian women last longer then the average duration of English man marrying a English women

Marriages always did last longer when women were economically dependent on men. One of the prime causes of the high divorce rate is that women are more free to choose now that they usually have independent means.

If it meant a choice between a cosy semi in the Home Counties with a fridge full of M&S food or back to the grimy,crumbling tenement shared with 5 other families in Novosibirsk I think even I would find the motivation to make a relationship work.

C'mon, there must be a few other closet realists out there on the forum. Delightful & inspiring though it is to hear so many tales of marital bliss, surely not everyone is starry-eyed and loved-up?

It was also why I believed that I was seeing an "old-looking" (and behaving) 40 year-old - he was a workaholic - who was actually a "young-looking" (and behaving) 52 year-old. I was 32. Twenty years was too much difference for me.

When all this 'came out' - as these things inevitably do - he said he'd lied because I wouldn't have looked at him otherwise. He was right - even now, I wouldn't knowingly start a relationship with someone 20 years older than myself because I'm selfish enough to want not to be left alone - of course you can't predict illnesses or accidents, but in the natural course of events, he would have died of old age well before I did. IMO, there is nothing intrinsically wrong or immoral about age differences. But I can't/won't get involved with someone much older or younger than me. Perhaps this is down to personal experience - my 81-year old grandfather died when I was only 10 or 11 - leaving my grandmother devastated (they had been very happy together) at the age of only 59.

My older partner and I got along well (and the sex was fantastic) so the relationship staggered on for another year or so after the age gap was revealed. If it had not been for the age difference, then maybe I would have been prepared to make an effort to resolve other issues (not relevant here), but ultimately, I could not get over the age difference - my uncle, who I have always thought of as being in my parents generation is a year younger than this particular ex, for goodness sake!

An old man of ninety was sitting on a park bench crying. A policeman noticed this and asked him why he was crying. "Well," says the old man, "I just got married to a twenty-five year old woman. Every morning she makes me a wonderful breakfast and then we make love. In the afternoon she makes me a wonderful lunch and then we make love. At dinner time she makes me a wonderful supper and then we make love." The policeman looks at the old man and says, "You shouldn't be crying! You should be the happiest man in the world!" So the old man says, "I know! I'm crying because I don't remember where I live!"

What really matters is how people get on with each other and is nothing to with any age difference.

Historically wealthy men used to take a young bride and the bride was often under 16 but that was in the days when we didn,t have the health and wealth we have now and it was not uncommon for women to have 10- offspring or die in childbirth.

If 2 people care for each other and look after each other let them be whatever age difference there is.

It's one of those decisions, isn't it? You don't bounce up to someone and say "Hey, I'm twenty years older than you! Fancy a shag?"
When it turns into more than you were expecting, the fear factor steps in and you never have the guts to say, "actually, there's something I ought to tell you..."

My mum remarried only a few years after she divorced my dad. She was a little - er - shy about her real age, and so was my stepfather. Accordingly, it wasn't until they were signing the register in the church that they realised he had claimed to be 5 years older than he was, and she to be 5 years younger - they were ten years apart!!

No, but you don't bounce up to people and say "Hey, we're the same age, fancy a shag?" either, do you?

Age isn't really that important. If two peole fancy each other and want to be together, surely that's what matters, as long as both partners are aware of, and happy about, the age gap? But if I'd found out that my partner had lied about his age, I would probably dump him! Not because he's older (or indeed younger) than he'd led me to believe, but because he'd lied to me. And that's completely unacceptable!

Hmmm, sounds like a really nice guy you were dating. :what:

So, how many of the guys online do you think lie about their age, then? I came across a couple that actually lied and said they were older than they actually were, 'cus they wanted to date older women, and found that most women wanted someone their own age or older! Then, after admitting to being much younger than they'd initially said, they asked me if I'd be interested in a date, to which my reply was "No, I don't date liars".

I also know that there was a pattern of men marrying very late here in Ireland - they had to wait until they inherited land before they could be financially able to marry, then they married younger women in order to be able to have children. People no longer have those limiting factors.

Have no real opinion of this.

As has already been said, generally chronological age doesn't matter much. However emotional age is really quite important, and there is plenty of adolescent 40 year olds running around (mostly blokes as far as I can tell).

Having said that, as a general rule, my suspicions would be raised where there were a greater than 15 year gap.

Yeah, I've been in a similar situation- 16 year age gap but he lied about it (I was later tipped off by some friends)... the fact that he didn't see fit to explain the presence of a child car seat in his car (until I asked him straight out- he had a 3year old daughter) didn't really help either.
I realized that I was not comfortable with the age gap and in particular the fact he had a daughter- but in the end, even if I had been, the lies/avoidance would have been a massive red light. Made me wonder what else he was hiding!
Even now I can't work out why he bothered lying about his age- he knew I had a problem about it, but saying he was 37 rather than 41ish really didn't make that big a difference. :mad: Grrrr.

I haven't been on this thread for some time but if I may put my twopenneth(?) in for what its worth.

Julie is 24 years younger than me;it didnt matter one bit when we first got together but if I am perfectly honest, as I now reach the age of 65 both the physical and emotional aspects take on a more demanding role and there are times when I am sure we both find it very stressful.
Sometimes I feel that the word LOVE means different things to different people at various stages in their relationship.
I love my wife now with the same passion that I felt when we first met but that is because I still look at her and think she is,in my eyes,young and beautiful.
On the other hand I believe that my wifes love for me is on a different level simply because of that age difference.
I obviously wouldn't change things as they are (well,yes I do wish I was 20 years younger) but the bottom line is when you start to get into the retirement zone 20 years difference is too much.

Thanks for this excellent and honest post, DJ Trev. I think this sums up for me that you can't just pretend that physical differences don't exist or are of no importance whatsoever. However, they may not matter in the end because for most people, emotional compatibility is paramount and can overcome the problems created by age disparity. Though I don't think that's true for everyone.

You don't want young men. They know nothing. Nothing, I tell you. Viz the old story:

Young bull: (hyperventilating) "Let's rush down there and shag a cow!! Whaddaya say? Huh? Huh?"

Old bull: "Let's amble down there and shag the lot."

By 'shag', of course, one is referring to the 60s dance craze...

That sounds like an attempt to justify keeping men in the dark so they don't spoil...

Well, there are plenty of things that can be done in the dark... you say it like it's a bad thing! :rofl:

I hope that typo meant to say "my age limit is 32 years older".
Else, I'll hare to die my hair, pay for a face lift and all the other bits that need rejuvenating.

Yep, i meant i don't date guys beyond 32 years old at the age that i am now.


The best saying in life - why have a boy, when you can have a man? I've also heard this saying about women, but can make it fit men - Men are like a fine wine, they get better with age


You actually made me embarassed just reading that! I need a drink!

So you'll be drinking wine then? :wink: :rofl:

Only some men get better with age :rolleyes: LOL. LuLu you have a varity of men to choose ;) LOL

Age shouldn't matter because its about the personality and matual attraction that should count. But everyone's different.

One of my best freinds is engaged (after a few years) to someone that is roughly the same age as his mum - they met at a night out with her youngest daughter when she was at uni (only a couple of years between the daughter and my friend). :shrug:
The only negative is that my freind will never have children of his own because she has been there & done that and they have all now fled home. But his sister has four and I have three that keep him amused :D

I wonder who that was ! :whistle:

My now ex was 19 years my senior and it was fun while it lasted. it didn't work out not because of the age gap but because we were just too different.

My current Girlfriend is ever so slightly older than me.. only by about 3 to 4 years though.

Nothing wrong with an age difference if you ask me.

Yup.. My-ex is (now) 57 going on 27 and I'm 38 going on 68 !! Despite her being chronologically older than me.. the problem was I was far too grown up for her / She too immature for me :)

So perhaps the question should be does chronological/mental age difference matter?

Now if you excuse me I have some youngsters to growl at, I have some important reminiscing to do about "the good old days" and the 2nd series of “Grumpy old men” to watch on DVD ;)

But then, so many of these relationships occur in celeb-land, and some of them do seem to work - look at Brucie and his wife, or Paul McCartney and Heather Mills.
