Yes, I would and even married a guy 15 years younger than me. Although he's now my ex-husband, age was not the issue and I'd do it again if the person was right for me. I've always been attracted to younger man.

Of course. Many, many cultures promote older men and younger women especially. Whatever two people feel comfortable with is the key. Of course, a marked difference in sexual energy could be a problem if that is allowed to happen.

My mom was 19 when I was born, so a man 15 years older than me is too close to my mom's age! 10 years either way is my limit.

Well, I was married for 37 yeares to a man 41/2 yrs older than I, and I can see the difference in this small age gap, so 15 years either way seems like a whole lot. But there's always the exception to the rule, so maybe it would be ok.

At 46, I tend to look for younger, since I would like more kids. There is a point where biology makes the rules.

It really does depend on the person. I dated a man 15 years older than me and he was my best friend. I have seen a man 10 younger than me and it just isn't the same.

I've tried it before and found the age difference was too great, at least at this point in my life.

A few years younger and a little more older. Any more and I'd feel uncomfortable.

A few years younger and a few older but 15 is too many. I would feel uncomfortable.

I grew up with several aunts and uncles where there was a large age difference between them - although I didn't know it until I was much older. I never noticed the age difference - what I noticed was their love and respect for each other and what great relationships they had together. I wouldn't base my decision for dating a person on their age - it would depend more on whether or not we had common interests, chemistry, etc.
