What age difference are you comfortable with in a LTR?

Lets say you are looking for a partner, maybe for a very long term relationship or future spouse. What sort of ages would you prefer or consider?

Me I would prefer a girl 5 years younger. Would accept 10 years younger (when I am older like 40) and 2-3 years older if they were really great.

Right now im only 20 so i wouldnt go older than 24, purely for the fact that i want someone who has the same level of maturity as me. A 30 year old now would probably be more interested in settling down than i am.

When i'm 30 though up to about 10 years older would be fine.

I'm 22, and probabley wouldnt go any younger then 19 (Defifnatly no yoounger then 18).. and no older then 24.

Regardless of the distance.
I'm 18, and my preferable age range would be about 17-22.

Don't know what you're talking about mate

[Guys age] / 2 + 7 = [Girl's Age]

22 / 2 = 11 + 7 = 18

the minimum age a 22 year old can go out with is 18

No.
You divide the guy's age by 2 and add 7.
This is the lowest they guy can go.


Personally I don't think more than three years would work.
But I have no desire for a relationship right now,
so my post is void.

I do love the Age/2+7 rule, works a charm xD.
