Would you get romantically involved with someone 30 years younger (or older)?

I know that age has no limit, but I think the cut off line should be 20 years older or younger. My mother was involved with a man 20 years older than her and after he left her, she was with a man 17 years older than she was. I am with a man four years younger than me, and thankfully so, otherwise I would be breaking the law, for anyone to be dating anyone 30 years older or younger than themselves is too big of a gap. I know that people cannot help who they fall in love with, but come on, how do you find anything in common with someone who is 30 years older than yourself? It is pretty hard to do. It is a big generation gap.

Im inlove with a person right now whom sixteen years older than me. I can't say why i attracted to him. He is a nice,open minded and good looking person. All i know is I LOVE HIM. But thirty years???? I don't know. Maybe because i didn't encounter of it. Age doesn't matter when you talk about LOVE. When there is LOVE so its possible to be happen.

Personally, I don't think age should be a factor in love. But I do think that a 30 year age gap would be a HUGE obstacle to overcome. I mean how much could you possibly have in common? I am in my late 20's now, so I'm at the age where I have children of my own to raise. Someone 30 years older than me will probably have grandchildren. I'm still saving for retirement, someone 30 years older would be on the threshhold of retirement. I'm not saying that it is impossible for a relationship to work, I just think it would be extremely difficult to sustain a relationship with someone that much older.

I won't involve with someone who is 30 years younger or older. No way! Personally, the huge age gap is weird. However, it is okay if it is between 5 and 10 years older. I am not interested in someone who is younger than me. I don't know why. But who knows? If it is more mature than his age, I will take a look at it

I say take it as you find it, and you just never know where you might find it, younger, older, whatever. Thirty years is quite a span, but I can absolutely see it happening. When I was 25, I dated a man who was 55 and he was one of my favorite loves, so much fun, and so appreciative of my young little body, mmm mmm good. I remember him very fondly, for sure. And when I was 30, I dated a man who was almost 20 at the time, and I certainly appreciated his young, large, firm, strong, and infinitely sexy body. He was so much fun too, just a blast, and liked to come up behind me, pick me up and carry me out of wherever we were at the time, usually at the bar, and I would just waggle my fingers at my girlfriends, giggling, and loving every minute of it - a bit of a caveman mentality with that particular thing, but delightful. It was a great 6 months and I don't regret a minute of it. My husband of almost 12 years now is 7 years, 8 months and 1 day younger than I am and it works so well. We're remarkably well suited and he's a most loving person, and I am treated like such a princess, I should be wearing a tiara, believe me. We just never know where love will come from, but we should be open to it always. It's the thing I have the greatest faith in. Good discussion, darlin, way to go!

I think I would have trouble finding someone my own age. I don't know that I would go for someone 30 year older/younger than me, but I could see 10. Most people think I am 10 years younger than I am. I'm afraid if I went too far outside my age that they might think I was the parent/child instead of wife/girlfriend. I don't know if it would ever happen.

Dear friend, I am sure that love and romance have no age barrier. Hence I feel no wrong to marry a person who has too long age variation. Even those who had not much age barriers has faced a bad relationship. This makes me feel that even age has no restrictions in making love or romance. Personally I do if I feel more attracted to that person may be older or younger for me it is trustworthy love that I give importance.

Well 30 years is pushing it,my husband is 11 years older than me,but i really didn't look at his age when i met him,all i seen was a all around good guy.To me age is just a number,if you you get along have things in common,and have a good time together then why not?as long as the couple is happy thats all that matters.

no never I grew up with a father who was thirty years older than my mom and he always treated her like adaughter and he called her and my sis and I my three girls. He treated her like she was minus a few marbles when she was a vibrant intelligent woman whose only stupidity lay in marrying a man who was old enough to be her father In fact mymoms father lived with us and he was only one year older than my dad. That huge an age gap makes for only misery as one looks down on the other always. as for myself no way would I want to be romantically involved with a man younger than my own son.

someone 30yrs older than me ?ummmm she would have to be an absolute catch , ill admit there are some pretty fine cougars out there but for one to really turn my head and jump into a realationship that would be a one and a million , im also kinda skeptic about her bossing me around as if she was my mom or something you know ?..ummm idk its like a toss up to me

I am picking the younger ones.. even when I am not yet in my 20, I cannot stand to be with a 50 year old woman.. LoL

My brother in law has had two long term relationships with very much younger women....by 20 yeqars plus.Each time he was flattered i think that they took an interest in him...but actually they saw him as a good provider for want of a better expression!! Sady both relationships didnt work out,he is now with a partner around his own age,he is much more in tune with her...they come from the same generation,have the same ideas of values in life. Maybe for some it works though.

My first two relationships were with guys three years younger than me. Both of them failed as I see that I was more mature than them. From then on, I have told myself I will be in a relationship with men much older than me so I don't have to worry about maturity issues. I have had a boyfriend who was 35 years old (I was 24 back then), and my last relationship was with a 52 year old man (and I was 26). Older men attracts me because their outlook with life is much deeper than the younger ones, and they like to baby me, so there. =)

i think that 30 years is a huge gap that should be avoided i know that you cant help who you love but you can help you who let yourself start loving so i dont think that that large of a gap should be even thought of romantically

Would I sure I would... As a matter of fact when I was 18 I was seeing someone that was 42.. Than well things didn't work out the way we wanted and we both went on our separate ways... I think age is a number... That's all.. It's the PERSON and WHO THEY ARE as one that makes the difference.. I tend to get along more with people that are 20-30 years older than me... Maybe it's because we actually tend to see to eye to eye on things and not argue about the tiny things more mature if I can say that... Than really people my own age...

I have been married to a man nineteen years and one day older than I am. We are total opposits as far as personalities. However, we mesh together nicely. I do not see any alterior motives. Most of the time we are on the same page. There are time though when there is a generation gap. My husband and I do very well over coming the obsticles in our relationship. We have a loverly seventeen year old daughter. There are people who come up to my husband and ask if my daughter is his granddaughter. I think it is funny he doesn't. I do not think age has anything to do with a relationship. You either have a good bond or you don't. I have a cousin who is married to a man younger than her and they are still happily married. Love and soul mate had no age limit. Great communication has no age limits. I am glad that my husband did not suspect my motives. I used to tell him I only married him because I thought he was a millionair. LOL I am sure people look at us funny because of the age difference but we are very happy. My family had a problem at first with our age difference but they came around. They saw how happy we are and just accepted it. Again love has not age limits. Not real love at least.

I'm 31 years old so if I get involved with a woman 30 years older than me she would be 60+. That's almost my mother's age! No I wouldn't consider it. Maybe 40+ or even 50, but not 60+. Normally I would say that age doesn't matter, but in this case it does. LOL

I would probably have to go with getting involved with someone 30 years older. Being a woman, I think it's more acceptable in our society when the man is older than the woman... not just older, but we're talking about 30 years here. I don't think I can get involved with someone 30 years younger than I am. I think I wouldn't be comfortable being seen in public with a much, much, much younger man. I wouldn't want someone to approach me and ask if he was my son... :D ...but, then again, I never can tell for sure especially when you're faced with emotion we call love. :)

in my opinion, I think if u really love someone, you will not care about the ages

i could not date a guy 30 years older,we would have nothing to share.
