Ten times older than me? He'd be 300.

My husband is sixteen years older than I am. We've been together for over a decade now.

I do not think I would like to date someone who is not my age. If I was dating again.

Ten times older than me? No one has lived that long. So, uh, no.

No to a thirty-six-year-old and no to a two-hundred-and-sixty- year-old. I like my partners to be about my age, actually. Maybe a bit younger, maybe a bit older, but not by much.

Tada:


From xkcd #314. ... more
I love XKCD!!!

And my husband is 15 years younger than me. I'm glad that he was not only willing to date me. But was persistent enough to convince me to date him, even though I thought he was too young for me. We've been together eight years now, married for five.

I was thinking the same thing lol.

As for 10 years older than me, at my age now, I would consider it if I was still dating. A few years ago a friend of mine who's almost 10 years older than me had tried to get me to go out with him, but I wasn't interested in the age difference at the time. 10 years can be a huge difference, but it can also not matter. It really depends on the relationship in general.

I agree with Sam.

It depends on the relationship in general. My favourite past relationships have been with men who are about fifteen years or so older than me. I just seem to have more in common with them than other men.

Given I am about 50, I don't think I will ever get the chance, so no thanks. Likewise, going in the other direction, I have no interest in child abuse either! Presuming you really meant ten years, sure. However, given that we have been married for almost 24 years and are about the same age, it is unlikely that will happen either unless one of us kicks the bucket.

Oh he has short term partners, just no long term relationships. He's relatively wealthy and uses economic disparity to his advantage. As well he's generous with those short term partners. It's just that he places more value on their appearance than personality. And when the girl figures that out she dumps him.

Like everyone else I'm guessing you mean 10 years older not 10x older and my answer is YES My partner atm is 15 years my senior and it's all amazing.

I personally prefer to be with someone who is close to my age, but if the personality fits just right, age really doesn't matter.

And I think I would be afraid to date a vamp so... 10X.....probably not likely. I DO surprise myself constantly though!
