When it comes to relationships, do you care about age gaps or not? I've seen some people dating someone or getting married to someone who's more than 30 years older than them. I can't feel comfortable in such a relationship.

The max age gap I can deal with is 10 years. Anything above 10 years, I'm out.

I’m fine with dating someone 5-10 years older than me, and I’ve dated someone 4 years older in the past.

I'm fine dating up. I met my wife when I was 19 and she was 28...

She's still as beautiful now as she was when she was 28.

As long as you're a consenting adult, and they are too, I'm out of it.

Nine or ten years the highest I can take, or consider acceptable. Anything above that, makes me worried about the future compatibility. But what really bothers me is the possible disagreement and objectives that two people may have because of different ages, and different approaches to life.
 
5-10 years older is typically fine, but just depends on the ages as that should be people in their 20s and going into 30s. Never should be old to young.
I can never be comfortable with doing age canyon gap in a relationship. Our thinking will never be the same because the gap of understanding is too much.

I want to marry someone who is mature in the mind and not even age. As a man, she shouldn't be older than me as well. I want to be the leader and she supporting me to excel in everything that I do.

You're right. Maturity is very important when it comes to getting married because age is just a number.

They used to say that older ladies tend to manipulate their younger male partners. Would you say that's true from your experience?
 
I was 5 years older than my ex when we are still together in a relationship. We have a baby girl but she's no longer part of her life as she choose not to be. I can't do more than 5 years gap.
 
I used to tell anybody that cares to listen that age doesn't mean you are matured. In relationship, I will like my man to be older than me with 3-5 years old but if I just see that you don't reason like a matured person, the relationship won't work.

If even age doesn't seem like it matter about being mature, I'm still never going to be interested in getting into a relationship with someone too younger or too older more than 10 years.

It's really painful to have a baby, and the mother is not there for her. How is your daughter coping? Does she stay with you or with a guardian right now?

It broke my heart because I felt like she left me at two cross roads with her decision to leave. She's doing well and I'm more happy to be there for her.
 
Honestly as long as the two people are consenting adults age doesn't bother me too much. Could be 5, 10 years, heck even 15 doesn't bother me. Though I don't think I personally could be with someone much older than me, my wife is only a few months older than I am. We were born the same year so we grew up during the same time and have similar hobbies.
