    Do you feel age matters when it comes to love (legal ages)?

    The general norm is the guy being older than the woman, but as the years go on it is more acceptable now for it to be the other way round....what are your thoughts on it?

    Personally I dont think age does matter, I do still think people are commented on about an older woman and a younger guy, but it wouldnt bother me if I was to be the older woman in a relationship

    Hmmmm I was none biased about this and did see age as just a number but that's because I'm a typical hot blooded male and would love to be 80 and dating a hot 18 year old.

    But as soon as I had kids that changed for example I wouldn't want my daughter dating someone who is twice her age don't you agree?

    Well it depends on what grounds and also is it true or not. If its your own child you would know if it was true love or not and if it was you would support them and accept the older partner. But if it wasnt i would be there to catch when he or she needed

    I believed age doesn't matter when it comes to love. My husband very much older than me but I didn't feel any difference having a younger or older someone as long as you truly love each other. To mention, that woman is older than a man is the same thing as the man is older than a woman. It is true that man is the head of the family that's why he needs to mature and older but it always depends on couple. I have a male cousin and his wife is same age with her mother. They don't have much problem at all. They live with happiness though they don't have a child. So, for me age doesn't matter. :)

    I believe the real love sees no age and nationality.
    AS long as the people love each other i dont think it is a problem who is older and who is younger.
    I know some couple who has a huge age gap but still they are happy with each other.

    Not really. All my exs are a couple of years older than me. But if you say 15 years and above gap, i would say yes, it would matter. But love is the strangest thing. You can't stop yourself from falling, it so easy. Staying in love is the hard part. If both are able, then why not give love a try no matter how old or how big their age gap maybe.

    I know a couple - the wife is about 60 years younger than the husband.
    It is amazing that they still live a happy life after sooo many years.
    Where there is love there is miracles.

    The most important thing is that they are happy. It feels good seeing two people happy and in love. As long as they are true to each other and complements each other then Age will never be an issue.

    It depends on how big the difference is between the ages because when a girl of 12 years goes with a man of 23 then it is really weird. But when you are both grown up than the ages doesn't make sence. The most important this is that they are happy.

    If you love that person you should go for it!

    Well, is it ok to give both a yes and no answer to this?

    I think the age might matter because of a few factors. First off, if a person is too young, they may only think they know what love is and not truly know what it is. Secondly, if the age gap is too far spread, the two people might be incompatible for being at different points in their lives alone.

    However, there are those instances where it might not matter and people simply just have that bond that transcends age.

    Yes age does matter. You could still fall in love with someone with a big difference in age but the relationship will be hard because of the differences in interests. I would find it very boring to not be able to enjoy myself with my partner in the usual things I do just because he is not comfortable. What about the sex life? I know people say it does not matter but let's be realistic.

    Level 2 Mingler 20%

    Yes, i agree with you. As long as the couple enjoy the companion of each other i dont think the age is an issue.
    Normally if there is a huge age gap they would bear much more pressure than those "normal couples" but it doesnt mean such "special couple" are not in love.

    Level 3 Mingler 40%

    In my opinion, age does not really matter that much. What matters most is maturity. If the both of you are in the same age, but don't really understand each other in the same level, then it's impossible for them to meet each other halfway, so the relationship might not be able to work. I know of couples who are in the same age yet quarrel all the time due to understanding differences. A relationship can work as long as they love each other, and they invest time, effort and sincerity. :)
