This is amended from my original post....
Thanks in advance, for your replies and to those that already have posted.
I can’t think of a good tagline so this will have to do. Suggest a better one for me?

I would like to amend my original request......What is the largest age difference that you would consider for a serious relationship?
Thanks, in advance for your replies.

Wasn't a serious relationship as she was my friend's GF. We did have sex a few times. My friend knew. It was his idea!
I don’t think there is a limit if two people love one another and get along.
For a relationship like 10 years maybe but for something casual i wouldn't care how much different
I don't believe love cares about age, but as I get older it does worry me that the impact of the difference in age (16 years between me and the lady who holds my heart) will become greater, that I'll be a burdensome old man, while she's still full of life.
My now ex-wife was nearly three years younger than me.
Well, I'm 20 years older than my wife & we've been married 16 years.
Prior to that I lived with a woman for 6 years that was 11 years older than me.

10 years (he was older) we were together for 16 years (married for 6 of those) until he died last year.
Very sorry for your loss
Around 30 years younger to 10 years older
The older I get the wider the age range I consider lol.
Or maybe the more fun it is 😊
I've had relationships with women much younger, and they were fine. But being with someone the same-ish age as you allows a real comfort with cultural touchstones and simple shared memories. It's not a deal-beaker. But it's nice.
Tintinnabulation - first place (Free Spirit)
Comet Q - second place (Quick and Risqué Sex)
Amnesia - third place (Le Noir Erotique)
My first gf was 3 years older than me, no issues there. My second one who became my wife (now ex ) was 7years younger. No issues there either. I am hoping to meet, hoping as she currently has tonsillitis, a woman who is 14 years younger than I am and fingers crossed it works out to the good. I take the view, up to a point, that age is just a couple of digits.
"For a serious relationship? My spouse is 9 years older than me but I'm rather convinced that's really too big a margin for any number of reasons (e.g. she will be retired a few years before I am ready to do so). 5 years max either way as Meggsy suggests is probably about right." - Unknown User
So that appears to be old me (it won't let me quote it). It is still largely on the money for marriage or.living together.
However, for something like a "friend with benefits" where we have sex, hang out and go places together but maintain separate residences and lives otherwise, I would probably be okay with 10-15 years younger, maybe more if it was the right person.
And that's kind of what I would want if something happened to my present relationship.
A poem for your enjoyment. Little something that came to me a couple days ago

The rule I have used is that the you take the age if the older one, divide by 2, and add 7 to get the minimum age for the younger partner. So a 50 year-old should go no younger than 32; a 30 year-old could go as young as 22; and an 18 year-old can go to 16. At 53, I met my current wife, 36; we are 8 years happy.
