Salam, i'd prefer the same age or younger, i'd feel odd marrying a lady younger then me, but i suppose younger then me at the moment wud be too young anyway.
and Lol at that other Bro's joke about getting jokes and LOL at "suga mama"! seen!
In reality, looks and wealth mean something, but barely anything, and whilst reading this pole, i got worried that barely any Woman wants a younger man, cus i wud prefer older over younger, so that slims my chances for the future, lol!
yah well, we'l c inshAllah, ent bothered at the moment anyway, Salam, tc everybody!

So you wouldn't have married the Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) like Khadija did? She was 14 years older than him.

It's called preference anthony, I didn't say i would never, (because Allah ta'ala has control over that.) I just personally wouldn't want to marry someone younger. In the case of our beloved Rasulullah :sl: he was khayrul khalq; a man of great faith. I'm not even half or a quarter of that (faith wise.) Inshallah when i attain great knowledge, I'll change my preference.

Salamu alaykum,
i would EXACTLY marry OLDER than me. My grandmother is older than my gandfather and theri life was too bad. I mean, my grandmother is a really nice person but my garndfather made her feel so sorry during their lives mostly bcuz of the age. My mom is so sorry about it and we could do nothing for them..Sadly..
