What is the age difference between you and your SO? What is your limit if you're single?

I'm one year younger than my husband. If I were looking, which I'm not, it would be for someone my own age or perhaps a few years older. The oldest person I've ever had designs on was about 20 years older than I was at the time.
 
My wife is eight years younger than me. I inadvertently used the old guidance “Half your age plus seven”. Didn’t do it intentionally but apparently there’s stuff written about it on line. So she was 22 and I was 30.

It (half plus seven) predates the internet by a long time. My wife struck a blow for feminism and used the theory on me. To turn the tables I would have to go for 34.5 to my 55, which is a bit awkward as the woman I would chase if free is younger than that.

So what age difference do you and your SO have? What's the greatest difference you think is ok?
My actual SO and I are less than a year apart. But it's open, so, while I'm not single, I'd go as much as ±20-25 years either way. That's a matter of taste, it's not about thinking it's "not ok" to go further.
 
Both 69, my age limit?? I couldn't go lower than 55. When I get below that its in my sons age group and probably don't have much in common. The girls at the gym, god damn their hot but me with one of those she'd kill me
 
My wife and I are almost exactly 10 years apart. 10 years and 3 days.

She turned 67 and was born in ‘57 on June 23.
I turned 57 and was. Porn in ‘67 on June 20th.

She’s an amazing woman with an amazing sex drive and great mind to match.
 
I was born in 1976. My wife was born in 1970. If I were to start dating again (most probable scenario being as a widower), well, I'd theoretically be cool with dating adults of any age, but the most likely age-range, as far as compatibility is concerned, would be forty-one to fifty-five. Since I'm forty-seven, the chances are more likely that I'm not necessarily dating to breed, though I couldn't rule it out entirely. If I wanted to date to breed, I'd talking more like twenty-one to thirty-five, though that carries the risk of someone trying to lock me down into another marriage, which I'd want to avoid. Cohabitation carries some risks, but they aren't as bad as those of marriage, especially to my finances. Of course, I am also poly and bi, but it is more difficult to arrange anything like that, especially in East Texas. Whoever dated me would just have to know that I would never consent to monogamy. Period. End of story.
 
I'm ten years older than my wife which is no big deal or now, but when I met her I was 32-to her 22 and her mother wasn't exactly thrilled with that early on.

If I were single....if we're talking a hook up only the youngest I'd be okay with would be twenties, and more towards 25 tan twenty. I don't want anyone with teen at the end of their age.

Dating? I'd be okay with going 'down' to late thirties/fortyish. Up, maybe a few years, but I'm 56 so not sure I'd be into someone 15 years older.
