    How far have you strayed from your own age with a partner?

    Do you find the idea of being with someone 10 years older or younger disgusting?

    As a lad I guess my range would be 5 years younger and 3 older.

    It's always been younger, two years has been the max

    15 years as a one night snog and stuff, 14 years diff in a relationship.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Younger or older Wibbs?

    For some reason I have a vintage, they are always 6 years older.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,528 ✭✭✭TomCo


    3 years either way, 18-24.

    one night stand. 21 years difference. Got the shock of my life when i found out.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,944 ✭✭✭Jay P


    About a year and a half. I think it was a bit much considering the circumstances.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,671 ✭✭✭BraziliaNZ


    wow, I'm glad this came up. My last proper girlfriend was about 6.5 years older than me and recently I've been humping a 21 year old which makes her 6.5 years younger than me. Yin/Yan. I prefer the older ones though, alas :(.

    Younger. Women around my age or older know that I'm talking absolute crap. In fairness it's the finest quality crap, picked from the south slope of the vineyard, aged in oak barrels to the point of perfection, but crap nonetheless.:D

    I have a vintage too, but it comes in bottles and while enjoyable at the time, gives me a hangover. I suspect you have may the same problem.:D

    Humping? The day I define it as humping is the day I've suddenly gotten fitter or they've made up for my indolence.

    About 8/9 years older. If I had to choose, I prefer older, but not something I care much for - despite all the talk I don't find it makes a blind bit of difference provided there's a good spark with those being compared.

    Ok, I don't know what either of these posts mean :(. I must be stupid.

    Edit: More room because her vagina is bigger due to her having been humped more or something?

    I wouldn't worry about it, neither do we. It is AH after all. Not knowing is half the fun.

    Only 3 years. Older.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 41,926 ✭✭✭✭_blank_


    When I was 21-23 I had an affair with a woman who was 37-39, so 16 Years.

    Other times I've gone out with girls who have been 2 years older, 2 years younger, another one 3 years younger. God knows the rest, I don't remember.

    The current one is 5 years older, give or take a few months.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,314 ✭✭✭Marcus.Aurelius


    Going out with a girl 2 years older for the last while, but before was with a 28 year old when I was 20, so that's 8 years. Youngest was 3 years younger, which felt a bit cradle-snatchery


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,367 ✭✭✭✭watna


    I had a thing with an American guy the summer after I left school. I was 18, he was 25. At the time it wasn't an issue but now that I'm almost 25 I couldn't imagine being with an 18 year old. Guess it's different if you're a girl and the guy is older I suppose.

    OP, I was with a girl 8 years older than me a few weeks back....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,817 ✭✭✭✭Dord


    The youngest would have been about 2 or 3 years younger than me, and the oldest about 5 years older.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    No idea, I never think of asking them for their age.
    Does everyone drop that line in at some stage, I would find it a bit awkward...

    "
    Standard Creepiness Rule (Rule of Seven)

    If a man dates a woman younger than (his_age / 2 + 7). While it is not forbidden, dating a woman who would be in violation of this rule is ill-advised. See http://xkcd.com/314/. Furthermore, no man should date a woman over twice his age, minus 14."






    there you go :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,073 ✭✭✭sam34


    always older than me.... my first kiss was with a guy who was 9 yrs older than me ( i was 17, a late starter!). my longest ever relationship was for 4 yrs with a guy who was 11 yrs older than me, and ive since gone out with someone who was 23 yrs older...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 361 ✭✭litup


    I was snogging a guy when I was 15/16 who was 32. At the time I didn't see anything wrong with it. Now I see many, many things wrong with it...

    In a relationship the biggest gap was 8 years older. Current boyfriend is 3 years older.

    I'd normally prefer younger than me. Girl I'm with at the moment is 19...I'm 28!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 507 ✭✭✭Popinjay


    Oldest was 43 years my senior*.
    Youngest maybe three of four years my junior.

    No it's not some creepy priest story before anybody jumps to conclusions. I was 21 and in Whelan's at a Carnival Saloon gig with a friend a few years back. The two of us were quite significantly blathered and he got a-chattin' with some pretty young Polish/Czech girl. Said girl was there with someone who on closer inspection appeared to be more Grandmother than Mother. In the truest moment of wingman-dom in the history of Top Gun, I distracted said Granny. She said she was 64 but tbh might have been a wee bit older. It can truly be said I took one for the team. We call her my Polish Goat Lady because of the slight beard issue and friends still delight in telling girlfriends about it to this day.

    Lucky me.

    I salute you sir! You're truly a hero among wingmen! Your friend is still paying you back I presume?

    A true wing man never asks to be paid back (and also he was the first one to tell my current missus about it. Fortunately she saw the funny side.)

    And yes, yes they are. Although Mr. Waits should be quite awesome himself.
