I agree that asking someone's age in any situation is rude. That being said , funny story: My husband and I were traveling and thought it would be fun to try to meet up with a couple while we were away. He went on SDC and spoke with 3 couples who lived in New York. We corresponded with all 3 couples and finally felt that this one particular couple would be the best fit for us. We based it on their photos, their age and their interests.
We make plans to meet them in a bar in the city and since we had seen their photos, we figured it couldn't be too hard to pick them out.
We see a couple walking towards us smiling and I start pinching my husband's leg. As they got closer to us I could see they were even wearing the jewelry so I was now sure it was them! We were so shocked because they were clearly about 15 years older than what they had told us (which made them 20 years older than us). We said our hellos and the 2nd thing out of my husbands mouth was, "I would never have recognized you from your photos, you look so different. Are those photos from a long time ago?" I thought I would die! He didn't mean to be rude it was just so shocking to meet them in person. Needless to say after 2 drinks we made an excuse and left. Besides being so much older than they said, they were a good 25 + pounds heavier. Not a good match for us.
We are not hung about age but let's face it, playing with someone 20 years older is like playing with your parents friends. No thank you.

Male here, for me I will say age is not important. If I meet a young girl and she has some sex appeal (and interest) we are good to go. If I meet an older woman with the same, then for me that works as well. As far as 20 years older, I'm not so sure about that but I don't think I've been in that situation. 20 years younger, no problem. That's not really what I look for in a woman.
