What should be the maximum age difference between a man and a younger woman?

What if the man really wants to have a child, but that would mean a woman for him, being realistic, would have to be over 20 years younger? Does just an ordinary guy have a chance in that situation, especially if he has relatively high expectations in a mate?

I think that you could definitely have a chance, but you would have to be with somebody that you truly loved and wanted to have a child and family with, not just someone who would be able to reproduce.
You would definitely have to have your priorities in order, and make sure you were getting with the person for the right reasons.
I don't think that age difference prevents love, so if you make the effort, you could definitely find somebody that you love who is also able to give you children during your relationship.
Goodluck, Malyck.

I don't care about age differences as long as both people are of legal age and they are in the relationship willingly. I don't think we could put a number on love and true feelings. Of course, I know people who are in those kinds of relationships. It just depends. As long as there are true feelings involved, then I don't have a problem with age.

Age is just a number. There are women these days in their 40's that are having kids without any medical problems. Why does the female have to be 20 years younger? If the guy is 40 and the girl is 20 - when he is 60 she will be 40 .. that is a recipe for disaster.

I hope it isn't a recipe for disaster since that would make for a bleak future for me. My ex didn't want kids which might have been O'K if the marriage had lasted, but it turned out she had issues from her family that were the reason she did not want kids and also led to our problems. After getting divorced, it became clear to me how much I wanted a child and now I'm in the position of being single and looking for someone who would be special to me and me to her and who would be young enough ( which means the age difference under consideration) to safely have a child.
