OP when I was 23 I went out with a 32yr old for 5 years.
I don't think age was really factor and we broke up for other reasons...there are a lot of factors but no point in worrying about any of them really, especially in the early stages.
Im 11 years younger
I'm 7 years younger than my wife. I've been out with a woman who was old enough to be my mum though. I bet a phsycologist would have a field day with those two facts.
My sister is married to a bloke 12 years younger than her.
I'm 7 years older, but my father was 25 years older than my mother - beating magoo37!
Sara is a a bit less than a year older than me.
Magoo's now into 2nd place
I'm 46 and a half
Mrs Gixer is 24 and a third
So she's got 22 years on me and is 5 inch taller - not done too bad for a short, bald, grumpy scotsman.
Met at work when she was on a scholarship placement.
Married last July, Baby Gixer due in June 😉
fair play Gixer!! The age really isnt an issue as long as you go into the relationship having talked about the pitfalls etc ... we are getting married next year (having proposed to Sam on xmas day shortly after we spent the morning riding downhill tracks!!)
Now I'd be REALLY impressed if anyone beats Gixer and me!!
I'm almost 31 and mrs peter file just turned 24.
She's far more grown up than me 🙂
There were 13yrs between me and my ex.
I was 27 , he was 40 when we met, and were together for 5 yrs.
But, he got old and boring and stuck in his ways, so had to go.
12 years older married 10 years in july.
Nothing wrong their Tails, have some fun mate. All down to the individuals not the age.
My wife is 13 years younger than me, she's 36 yesterday. Took a while for the mother in law to come to terms with me whisking her then 21 year old daughter away, but soon won over and we have two little ones.
I'm 4 years older than the missus, pretty average I expect
9 days
Current (lovely) bf is 4 years older than me.
Ex was 21 years older than me. After the initial bit it was awful. And really really hard to get out of (my house and it feels pretty shit throwing an older bloke out, even after I discovered that he was hacking my emails and had nicked my phone).
Anyway, if any of you older blokes with lovely young wives and girlfriends have so much as a single green-eyed thought, go and get your head examined before you make her life a misery.
I'm 37, the missus is 28.
Peterfile had so much potential to put this thread to bed, Shame 😆
2 weeks for me
Me 36, hubs 71 (30 ish in the head!)
Married 7 yrs, together 12.
Just works, can't explain it.
Sorry magoo37.
Impressive stuff from STL - we've got a 13 year age gap; I'm just about to turn 50 and mrs D_J is 37 this year. We've been married 10 years. I had a long think about it before committing to marriage, but in practice it's been pretty straightforward so far. We have a lot in common in terms of interests and activities, which helps, and enough stuff we like doing separately to keep the whole thing healthy and both of us developing as people.
I'm 4 days older
5th July my bday
6th July our wedding day (4yrs ago)
10th July her bday !
you're as old as the woman feel !
2 1/2 years. I was cougared. It's ace.
I'm older by just over 5 years.
I rather like the idea of a 19 year old between us.
3 months between us, and it's a real issue, seeing as I'm so much wiser.
I'm 12 years older than Mrs Stratobiker.
We've been together 20 years.
Married 7 years.
SB
2 days, im older
13 year age gap for us, surprisingly I'm the older.
Maturity wise we meet somewhere in the middle.
Wife is four years older than me. We met at ages 29/33, knew what we wanted in a partner and are now married with two kids and very happy.
6 years older than Zoe, so no biggie in the context of this thread. Together 11 years, married 6.
Met when I was 31, so age gap not really noticeable, especially since I'm just a big kid and Zoe was pretty much born middle-aged.
slainte 😆 rob
Bit of a pattern emerging that looks like most of the guys are a few years older. Are women our age really that bad? 🙂
Nearly 7 years and she is older than me. Been married 22 years, so I am not sure it is much of an issue. Both active helps
shes a year older / i'm a year younger.
Previous partner was 5 years younger than me, current bf is 5 years older.
Age differences are fine in either direction (older or younger), it's interests / attitudes / behaviour that's important in terms of compatability, not age.
im 3 months older
met at uni same year etc
real bias toward older guys/younger women here
is that reflected in society as a whole
or is it because all us mtbers have rippling muscley pecs, gluts and abs? and a childish enjoyment of playing on bicycles?

Its the oher way round I think.
Women are more emotionally mature than men in general , so don't want to go out with somebody who is more like a kid than a partner!
i was 21 when I met a 42 year old.
22 years later I am still with her and happy. Not sure if she is still older than me as I struggle with maths and don't really care enough to count
I'm 18 years older and we're getting on really well... now she lives in a different house.
Missus is 7 years older (49 to my tender 42). I was the inoccent ausie in brixton and she was the next door neighbour. Met on both our first brixton cycles ride. Still going strong 2 kids and 11 years down the track.

Im 7 years older
Met mine when i was 27 she was 40. 13yrs later still together 8yrs of being married. Happy as larry. She was always young at hart and i can be a bit of an old git at times.
2.5 years older - Im 39 and she is 36.5....
6 years older than current partner. Not sure I would feel comfortable with a bigger age gap so am always intrigued by the 20yrs plus differences and how that works in practice. I certainly couldn't cope with a lass 20 yrs younger. I don't like One Direction for a start....
i'm a toyboy. she is six months older than me.....
I am 3yrs older and wiser than my wife 8)
