would a 15-20 year age difference be too much of a stretch for a relationship to be successful? younger male older woman

That's stretching it.
I'd say around 5 years is the largest acceptable age difference for a relationship that includes an OLDER woman and a YOUNGER male.
It seems like the bigger the gap, the more differences there are between the people. Some want to be in a committed relationship... some want to just play around. And realistically, that all depends on their age.

Any relationship can be successful. Age doesn't actually matter. If the partners are matched in emotional, intellectual and spiritual development there is little that can go wrong.
Problems develop when there are cultural or family pressures to live a certain way or have children which might be difficult due to the age differences.
Many people feel that such relationships are doomed from the start. Statistically they rarely last. One partner may begin to feel bored or out of touch with the other if they are from different generations. The older partner might want to reminisce about things that the younger party has no interest in.
Good Luck.

there is not any precise or incorrect age difference whilst it includes love, till between the individuals in that relationship is a minor. in case your speaking approximately basically a romantic relationship the place the individuals are basically romantic and in love then this is as much as you. Whoever you have an interest in is suitable, in that difficulty, and in case you fall in love with somebody who's lots older or way youthful, why could it remember what an prolonged time y'all are. basically make beneficial that it somewhat is love and ignore what all and sundry else thinks.

I don't think we should allow society to dictate age restrictions in relationships. There is a 21 year age gap between my boyfriend and I (I'm 27). I have never been happier in my life. Just like with any relationship, it needs to have the essentials like trust, understanding, communication, interests, goals, etc. If those elements are in place, then nothing else matters. Love is the greatest feeling in the world, and age shouldn't stop anyone from experiencing it.

It depends...
An older woman looking for a younger man may not be interested in a long term relationship.

you can't put an age on love, if you fall in love with someone 30 years older than you then so be it. Looking at couples I start to wonder when one looks like they can be the others parent. But again you can't put an age on love.

That all depends on the feelings between them. There is 16 years difference in mine and my wife's age and we have been happily married for 34 years....So really, the difference in age is really immaterial..
