Yes it does, if you're 18 and having a relationship with a 30/40 yo you're in totally different stages of your life.
Different needs, different perceptions on things.
Ofcourse there are exceptions, but for the most part it does matter.
EDIT: I'm talking about love relationships though, if we're talking about sex, welp, I could report any of my partners big time.

To me? Uhm, kinda. Firstly, there's laws to abide by, so nobody under 16 for me. Then there's a generation gap, so I doubt I'd be able to hit it off with someone 30+ years older than me.
If I did meet an older guy who I somehow managed to get along great with and had common interests, then why not? But the same can't be applied to a youngin

Yes. I'm fine with a minor difference but I don't want to be a 19 year old dating a 39 year old, it would feel weird.

Yes. I could never date someone over 10-15 years older seriously. They would die way before me and I couldn't handle that.

Yes. I wouldn't date a minor or somebody more than 8 years older than me.
My boyfriend is two years older than me, and I think it's perfect because we're kind of at the same stage in life. As Cain said, if you date somebody much older/younger, you're going to be wanting different things and be at a different place in your life, and it just won't work.

my preferred dating age range is 3 years above and below my age, so between 19 and 24
I sometimes get attracted to guys who are 30-35 though. age is semi-important but maturity prevails for me

To me, kinda, just because of preference. I'm not close-minded though, and have liked men older than myself.
There's only a two-year difference between us. I'm 24 in October and he's 22 a week later.

I think it depends.
For me it matters cuz I would not date a guy my age or under my age. Gays at their early 20's are so immature and don't have a lot of things/experiences to talk about. That's why I've always dated older guys, and we get along really well.

Why it wouldn't work ? If the older partner understands the younger's physical and emotional needs and aims to please them instead of being selfish like youngsters usually do, it would work.

It really depends on the level of maturity on both sides and the overall life experience.

From personal experience, I tried dating younger guys but they are shallow as **** and don't consider relationships seriously nor try to put effort into it that's why I'm kind-off involved with this older guy. I'm 19 and he is 37 years old.

It is important. But honestly, it depends on the person. My only fear would be the age gap being TOO large, and my spouse dying long before me. I wouldn't date anyone 30 years older than me. I just couldn't handle that in a long-term relationship.
Although, it would be fun to date someone who's a little older. They would probably have more life experiences and could teach me a few things. And vice versa.

I do agree that younger people (esp. my experience in gays) can be very immature, for more reasons than their age.
Though of course, a lot of younger people can be very mature, and it seems to be the case more often than not these days.

Not really, as long as he has money... I don't care about the age.

It'll always end up being one sided, though. I don't know, I just have a hard time believing that a 20 year old and 40 year old can have the same type of relationship as a 20 year old and a 25 year old. Of course there are exceptions, but from what I've seen, it usually doesn't last. Maturity is a huge factor, too.

Exactly . That's why I prefer older men . They're settled mature and understand things .
I wanted the opinion of Atrl on this situation .

Like the last younger guy I dated broke off with me after we dated for a week and had my first intercourse with him, or often younger guys want this modelsque looking guy with muscles and a home and a car, and whenever they see "Me" this pup stilling living with his parents and with no car, this turn them other way which is annoying as ****.
