Yes I do. I believe a 40-90-100 year old has nothing to do with a 20-30 year old or a 18-19 year old. They have nothing in common so to speak So, how do they keep the relationship interesting? And the older man or woman will become uninteresting for the younger male or female partner in the relationship after a while. At least, that's what I've seen in most relationships like this one. How about you? How do you feel about it in your opinion?

As long as they're over the age of 18, have at it.

I am not sure if I am reading this correctly. But are you saying a 40 year old and a 30 year old have nothing in common?

Nop, a 90-100 year old has nothing in common, no common language, generations apart, no common interest with 20-30 year old or 18-19 year old, their great-grandkids' age. A 30 year old and a 60 year old? Old enough to be their parents, I personally wouldn't want to date my dad, granddad or great-granddad.

Thank you for the clarification, that makes sense. I try not to judge, but it is an arrangement I find difficult to understand. Granted when I was 18 I had a mad crush on a 28 year old. 😂😂 She turned me down for the same reasoning you have presented.
 
Me and my wife are 7 years apart. It doesn’t create any issues at all really and we have been together almost ten years.

So I would say that subjective and not always the case
 
I’m 1 and a half years older than @tonychu. Not much of an age gap.

I think it would be odd to be with someone who’s way older or way younger than me, but to each their own.
 
My husband is 9 years older than me. I don't see an issue with some age gaps in people.
 
No i do not when you like and connect with someone that age gap goes out the window.
 
As long as it's within the confines of the law, a personal relationship should be between 2 consenting adults. Despite whatever age they are, that is their business. No one else's. It has no effect on anyone else's life.
 
My first actual relationship was 20 years difference that one was a bipolar mess, My husband and i were 14 years apart, and age didnt matter to us. i dated a 21 year old when i was in my early 30s and i could not stand that persons immaturity. My last/ ex was 8 years apart. we broke up due to drug addiction my current is roughly 18 years apart so far we are doing really well.

Out of all of them only 2 really clicked, I do tend to get along better in a more intellectual level than the ones that were younger than me or even close to my age though.
 
I tried dating someone 10 years younger than me and it didn't turn out too well in the end. At this point, I'd probably rather date someone closer to my age range.
 
He's Ninety-something, she's Fifty-something.

They're married.





 
My husband is 9 years older than me. My dad was 13 years older than my mom. They were married over 40 years when my dad passed. As far as a 90 year old dating a person in their 20s or 30s, I couldn't do it, but whatever floats their boat.
