Anyone have a good friend who is significantly older/younger

One of my closet friends is ten years younger. One is 6 years older.

I give advice when asked to the best of my ability and if I can't, I just tell them I haven't experienced that paricular issue but I will support them along the way.

Almost all of my friends (and DH’s) are 10-20 years older than we are. I have no friends that are significantly younger than I am even though most of my kid’s friend’s parents would fall into that age group.

Yup. Two of my friends are about 25 years older than me. I call them the Biddies.

I have a friend who is 23 years younger than me. She was born 6 months after I graduated from college and is far closer to my daughter’s age than mine. She’s wise beyond her years and I’ve learned a lot from her and asked her advice more than once. She jokes that I’m her “old” friend and told he about her Nana who had an old friend (20 year age gap) as well. 

I'm glad you asked this! I've made quite a few new friends through our mutual interest in books and I've been a little restrained because I'm a good 10+ years older than all of them.

When I was younger, I had friends who were older than me. Now that I'm *ahem* less young, I have more friends who are younger than me. It's funny, because for so many years I was the token young person in many of my jobs - it took some adjustment to feel like part of the "old guard."

Once you're a full-fledged adult, age differences matter less than "life differences," if that makes sense. At two of my jobs, I have bosses who are 15 years younger than me. They hired me because I'm good at what I do, but I would certainly be comfortable asking them for advice about work stuff. OTOH, my kids are a lot older than theirs, so they sometimes ask me for advice on parenting stuff.

Most of my friends are my age, one is 10 years older, and one is about 15 years older. There's no real difference except with the younger one - she's extremely immature for her age though and at times I feel like we have a high-schooler tagging along. Needless to say, she's not my fave.

I have both. I have a friend who is 18 years younger than me. She is smack dab in the middle of me and my kids, age-wise, and is friends with both me and my teens. I mentor her and she’s available to mentor my dd. We joke that she’s going to take care of me in my old age and my kids will take care of her in hers. She’s got kids that are a few years younger, plus a baby. Our kids are friends. So this can continue even further. LOL

Ours is very much a give and take relationship. She’s one of my best friends and we know we will always be there for each other. We are good at processing stuff together, listening and helping each other come up with our own answers.

I have another friend who is older, we don’t get to talk or see each other much but when we do, we can talk for hours. there is a lot of love and admiration on both sides.

We know there is an age difference but it doesn’t interfere with our relationships.

My best friend is 10 years older than me. We give each other advice all the time. I also have friends who are younger. It's nice having a range of ages around, keeps life interesting.

Most of my friends here are much younger than me, but a lot of that is due to the path my life has taken in the past 10 years. We made an International move, and I made friends through a knitting group and through a Family Center where I volunteer and it just happens that most of the women I've met through those places are in their 30s - I am mid-50s.
I feel that it keeps me young, spending so much time with them and with their children, and many of the young mums who come to the family center are a long way from home and their mums as well, so they appreciate my experience and help with children.

They do. You should hear what they call me. 😂😂😂

Yes, a man 21 years younger than I am.

My cousin is 46 and her DH just turned 25. They have been together for 5 years. They are truly soulmates and perfect for each other.
