My wife and I are 2 months apart. The biggest difference between my and any of my past grilfriends was 2 years. I dated a senior when I was a sophomore. I won’t brag by telling you that she was the homecoming queen though. ---

I’m ten days younger than **Pepper Mill**. I’ve always had a thing for older women – one woman I’ve known since we were 15 is One Day older. We’ve all three gotten together for simultaneous birthday parties many times. ---

Of course, the whippersnapper’s always calling me an old geezer. I’ll show him yet. I’m six weeks younger than my wife. As one might imagine, during those six weeks I’m _insufferable_. 😉 –Cliffy ---

My GF is 10 years and (approximately) 4 months older than me. She had some issues with it at first (she’s mostly dated older men), but those seem to have gone away for the most part. It’s never bothered me at all. ---

I am female and 3 years and 1 month older than my boyfriend. The previous boyfriend just before him was 2 years younger than me. Each of them were once asked if they were my father. I have also briefly dated a guy that was 11 years younger than me and another that was 11 years older. My grandmothers also went for younger men, one was 4 years older than her husband and the other was two years older than hers. ---

I am five months and five days older than ACBG. For the first time I am the older one. He thinks it’s funny telling people he’s taking the geezer out to dinner. I’m dating a clown, a regular comedian. But he’s a cute lil’ critter so I overlook it. 😃 ---

I’m 2 years older than my Succubus. I don’t have a problem with someone slightly younger, but personally I don’t find the appeal of some guys’ tendency to date women half my age. My grandfather (when he was alive) was dating a girl the same age as me! :eek: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/age-difference-between-you-and-your-g-f-b-f-spouse/302842.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/age-difference-between-you-and-your-g-f-b-f-spouse/302842.md?page=4)
