I'm 29 and married to someone my age (okay, he's 8 months younger than I am, but close enough), and I love being in the same stage, all the time. I had always dated slightly older men before I met him... but not more than 5 years older, at most. I am not sure what my "absolute limit" would have been, if I had encountered that kind of situation... but 15 years would be seriously pushing it.
Personally, if someone is old enough to be my dad (I suppose that means 18+ years difference), it creeps me out. It also creeps me out when my own dad (who is 55) talks about dating women who are my age... it makes me feel very uncomfortable, even though I know that it should be perfectly normal, and he can do whatever he wants. But I don't want to hear about it from him.
And let's get down to it... I don't mean to offend anyone here, but my honest opinion is that I cannot imagine fucking someone that much older than me... I would feel like I was fucking my dad. That's the root of what creeps me out.
