do you guys make age difference an issue?

[espanish]

today I was talking to this girl, she seemed very interested. unlike most women who pretend they have a life and walk away, she actually stayed and would not walk away. so respectful. had sticky eyes. I guess I was caught off guard becasue most women are rude so I didn't know how to handle someone who is not rude? everything was going well until I found out she is 15 years younger than me. then I told her "that might be too young for me" and suddenly my age became a problem for her and she realized I am too old for her. I don't know why I said "you are too young for me" it just felt weird me dating someone that young, I felt like those old creepy men. I also wanted to be fair and upfront with her so she doesn't think I am around her age. what do you do, you just don't bring it up?

As long as you're both adults I don't see a problem. Depends on her maturity level too. I'm married and in my 40s but if I were single and dating, I would date women in their 30s, 40's, and 50's. Would avoid the 20-somethings as they tend to be very immature, especially these days.

Its not an issue if they are attracted to you. Its an excuse if they have low interest.

i had a GF decades younger than me. was great. don’t worry about it.

The was a wasted opportunity.
Imagine meeting a woman that was 15 years older that rejected you because you were too young for her.

This is not a big deal for me at all. I would be very excited by having a girlfriend who is 10 or 15 years younger. I'd never say anything about the age difference.

15 year age differences are pretty normal when it comes to men being older than women and there's no reason it can't work out. When it's inverted, that's where the problem starts.

The next time that happens, if the age issue comes up, you need to respond with this:

“ Yes, I know… the age issue. I’ve been concerned about it too. But I just want you to know that even though I typically date women younger than you, I will make an exception in your case.

I don’t have a problem with it but some women do and they think out loud about it ad nauseum . I’m not sure how to overcome that without coming across as chasing so that’s usually my cue to move on and find another girl
