loverrr Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 Why are some people so age orientated when it comes to relationships? My Mum always says the man has to be older than the girl and dad goes dont get involved with anyone older than about 10 years than you - at the end of the day does it really matter when you're truely in love?
Outcast Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 When you're old enough that your mom and dad aren't telling you how to run your relationships, you can decide for yourself. Certainly age matters until you're about in your thirties.
Outcast Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 Well most guys younger than maybe two years will be too young or immature as a rule. You can find some more mature ones but they'll be fewer and far between. And at 25 you sure don't want anybody over 35- the differences are pretty great at that point. It's not so much about age but about commonality. Two people of vastly different ages won't have much cultural context in common unless one or the other has steeped himself in the pop culture of the partner. Values may differ and even energy levels can be an issue.
Woggle Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 It sure doesn't matter to me. I think I might have found the one and she is 15 years my senior.
Hot Coco Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 My ex-husband was 19 years older than me. I used to think age didn't matter either. Even though the main reasons for our demise had really nothing to do with age, it DID contribute in an indirect way. I don't recommend it.
lilmoma1973 Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 I think a few yrs in age shouldn't matter but when you got alot of yrs apart tends to be alot of differences .. This can cause alot of conflict.. I know a couple that is married right now she is 23 and he is 31 and we was talking and he thought my daughter was beautiful and smart and he stated he wanted to have a baby but his wife was still so young and she loves to party and just isn't ready and he is .. I went to school with this guy and he is really would be a good dad and it is sad that she isn't ready and he is ... He also told me he didn't think she would ever be she likes to party to much and said a baby would throw a wrench in their lives!!! I told him it can slow you down because having to have a babysitter when you wanted to go out but it not all that bad !!! So yes i think age can matter no matter if you love them... Good luck
SmoochieFace Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 It sure doesn't matter to me. I think I might have found the one and she is 15 years my senior. Amen. My GF is almost nine years my senior. Best relationship EVER!
Yamaha Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 I think age only matters if people ask you " is that your son/ or daughter"?
Woggle Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 Amen. My GF is almost nine years my senior. Best relationship EVER! The funny thing is that this is the first relationship where I truly felt like she was my equal. Not that I never wanted an equal relationship but I always felt more mature than all the other I got involved with. With my ex wife sometimes I felt like I was dealing with a little girl. With this new woman I finally like I am with somebody on my leval.

She just had a vehicle repoed and she is involved with a guy who - as she found out later, of course - hasn't paid any taxes in almost ten years. Now I know why she's broke all the time these days. Yet she stays and stays with the bastage... damn the bills and taxes... that seems to be her attitude. Best thing that ever happened to me though.
