Does the age difference between two people in a relationship matter to you? It's a really big deal to a lot of people, and to others it seems insignificant. If it is an issue, what do you consider to be an appropriate age difference for a relationship?

okay well with that being said, would you say that 10 years difference is more acceptable for a couple when that's not almost half of their life? Or does it matter? I've heard argument that it doesn't matter quite as much for a couple to be in the 30-40 range as much as it does for a 20 yr old to date a 30 yr old, because 10 years is the half-life of the 20 yr old. Is that a common rule of thumb, or is it bogus thinking?

Mrs Snilloc and I met and married when I was 35 and she was 27 so personally I say 7 1/2 years difference works for us. But we have a daughter of 17 (next week) and if she wanted to go out with someone in there mid 20’s all hell would break loose.
So to answer your question, personally what’s good for me is not good for my daughter. Hypocritical, unreasonable but factual.
If you understand this then you are better than me because I dont
