I don’t believe in dating, I believe in destiny. Which destiny is really just God’s providence in your life. So when asking for a wife that you will love all the days of your life, and God provides, that is simply destiny now. I will be God’s providence in her life, and she too is God’s providence in my life.
As for age, it’s not so much an age gap as a time frame. Ever since I was in my late teens, the women I found attractive were around thirty years of age (give or take a couple years). So I’ve waited for God’s providence, knowing that I am in the sweet spot (I am now 29).

10 younger or a few older. With a willingness to stretch a little if someone is special enough.
But also it seems that the older you get the less relevant a bigger age gap becomes.
Years back someone much younger than myself, and well past my 10 year limit, expressed interest. I was probably mid-30s and they 21. It just seemed 21 was so young, it was uncomfortable.
But at my current age going that roughly 14 year difference doesn't feel so drastic. Mid-30s dating a 21 year old seemed awkward. Mid-30s dating a 31 year old seems more feasible. So your current age can affect who falls into your levels of approval.

Doesn't seem like a real problem. Its rare I ever hear about this issue. People are commonly likely to pick someone with matching interests. People big into fitness will pick someone similar. People who are homebodies will pick someone similar. And on and on the various types.
Typically unless the age gap is a bit more extreme, or simply poorly matched from the start, this doesn't seem something you hear about often.
I've not dated anyone that close in age to me since I was a teenager. Yet it's never been a problem for me.

Yes sadly it is their justification. It is one of the reasons why so many people divorce and they blame their spouse for their infidelity. It happens, that is why when people say age does not matter, I am not really sure. When you are not satisfied physically, the temptation to find someone else is strong.

All frivolity aside (for a short moment!), I suspect that for most of us, age is less of a factor than faith and character, but it is still a factor.
Another factor that I have to deal with is distance. Most women who might otherwise be interested simply balk at having a long-distance relationship. I haven't met any local single ladies who are interesting, interested, and Christian.
We now return to our regularly-scheduled joking and fun-poking.

I had to chime in even though I am happily married. I am glad I don't have to think about dating and such, because at my age it word be like trying to find the least broken thing in the dump then trying to wash it up and glue it back together. What's worse is that folks start loading up baggage at younger and younger ages.
If I found myself suddenly single I would just move out into the forest far from anywhere.
