We are very familiar with the adage "Age does not matter" in love. However, I don't believe that it age or age differences have no weight whatsoever in a relationship. With different interests and sometimes opposite way of thinking or orientation, problems could always arise due to age gap. But then, this thing can easily be remedied if both sides would be looking at each other's best interest. The presence of real love must be an important factor to consider before going into a May-December affair.
No I don't think it does matter to be honest. My husband is quite a bit older than I am but I have been with guys that are younger than I am. I must admit if there was ever a time I would be looking age wouldn't matter again but I do think a younger one but as long as we had interests that are the same and we got along are the main pointers for me
This is a touchy topic because it's situational. It also depends on the maturity level of both parties. Keep in mind age doesn't always translate into maturity. If both people are at a place in their lives where being content is key, then they may survive. But a lot of the times, the younger person has this idea that they haven't lived their life yet. While the older person may have the "settle down" mindset. That doesn't bode well for longevity. But again, it's situational.
I would never be with someone who was way older or younger than me, I just think I would be so bored the whole time. There are too many issues that will come up, one wants kids and the other does not, family does not agree, different interests etc... I want a stress free life and relationships already have enough stress on them, do not need more.
It does matter when it comes to maturity issues. I believe most of young men are immature so getting alone with them would be a bit difficult. Me? I prefer having a relationship with a man who's older than me.
Yeah, people say age doesn't matter but when you see a teenage girl with a rich old man you'll eventually think "Gold Digger".
To an extend age doesn't matter if you have enough in common with a person. I did date a guy 25 years older than me mainly because he liked the kind of music I liked and he was also a musician/singer but alot better than me. LOL The one issue that tore us apart though... It may have been too much of an age gap because he had a tendency to treat me like a child versus like a girlfriend. I am not with a man who is still older than me, but he's only 10 years older than me. He doesn't treat me as much like a child as my past bf did. He actually acts like he trusts me too, most of the time anyway. LOL
Age is just a number. It is important on how mature the other person is. Some 50 year old men act like teenagers while the teens are more mature than them. I think it goes on an individual basis for the maturity level of people.
