Man must be at least 5 years younger.

About ten years. But my friend recently married a man who’s 25 years older. So I guess it depends on the people involved. Two people can be the same age, one can be old while the other looks and acts young.

I personally would not want an age gap of more than 6-10 years. I feel like there oils be too much of a difference in life stages. One is retiring whilst the other has to continue working 5-10 more years, one is settled into quiet life, the other wants to continue a heavy social life. One feels ready for a family or even almost past it, the other may not be close to ready etc.
