I will if you will!
I'm 18 months younger.
I was doing a bit of family tree research and found that men in family have tended to marry older women. Going back from my grandparents the gap averages 5 years. I'm sure Freud would make something of that.
Seven and a half years, not the eight years she keeps banging on about.
1 yr younger than wife here ... Or 11mths as she likes to say..
Age gaps bigger than 10yrs have got to be risky adventures.
Short term, great fun ...longer term, a real headache I imagine..
Five years, I'm the youngest.
Im 7years older than the one who must be obeyed! ,or the boss as our 7 year old keeps reminding me !
11 years younger at home, 16 years older when I'm working away...
8 years younger, lee I reckon you've got the right idea, any jobs going ?
I'm six years and one day older than Mrs ssstu.
Some impressive gaps here. Moi 40, Mrs Scamper 32.
I lied, I forgot she's 24 now.
No Jobs Paulo, but she's got a friend?
10 years senior here..
it was a whirlwind romance and a steep learning curve but I think we both appreciate and benefit from the cultural exchange so to speak..
20 years, 54/34 married 14 years this year
less than a year
Well we claim second place behind Magoo37, Sandy is 15 years older, and we've been married 12 years.
Rob
I'm 43 but look at least 48.
I don't care though because Mrs B is 40 but looks about 30! 8)
Just over a month (I'm the eldest) . . . and LeeW - have a slap! 👿
Me 44
Wifey 31
Kids 8,4 and sorta -8 months.
Mooman - over 13 years between us. Great fun from the start and still is. Only down side is that I will probably die first.
I will if you will!
Well the reason I started this is because I recently met someone and I'm 8 years older, I can't deny I do think about that gap and I think she does aswell as she teases me, but I thought sod if I like her go for it. Which judging by you lot I have the right plan.
I turned 28 a couple of days ago and she turns 20 in two weeks!
Lol lee count me in
I turned 28 a couple of days ago and she turns 20 in two weeks!
The older you get the narrower the gap becomes in maturity terms and therefore less important. It's also a question of the personalities involved. It's all about you and nothing to do with anyone else, if you're happy, go for it.
For me, I was 40 and she was 26. I didn't last , but bloody hell it was good fun. 🙂
im 40 and and the missus is 28...just under 13 years gap.no big problem really...her obvious greater maturity helps! im pretty young at heart so its all cool...
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!
