Age Difference?! - Page 2

Basically age is just a number , if there's mental and emotional connect , then age is not a factor , but it does take a lot to make the relationship successful , because even if the couple has no issues , the society never lets them forget it ..

I kinda would like to jump in here.

I basically am on this relationship high right now where in giving muft advice to everyone lmfao. But more so i saw this so would loke to comment.

Age difference is a pretty serious topic in relationships i believe mainly because for some reason in EVERY or almost every society it is socially unacceptable for an older woman to fall in love with man younger than her. However it is more acceptable albeiet not conpletely when compared tothose who are sinilar in age, more acceptable socially if an older man falls for a younger girl.

That being said i think socially people stick to the 5 year bench mark on age for an older guy and younger girl relationship. And as for woman maybe a three year or two uear difference.

Now, is age just a number? Honestly NO it isnt. In my pov. Age is a number in the sense that if tou are going to date someone 10 to 15 years older or younger to you, there ARE going to be things no matter how much you try, that will obstruct you or put conpromises on your relationship. Yes of course if you love that person thats all that matters and heart cabt control who it falls for. I AGREE! Completey. HOWEVER, those differences that WILL arise no matter what will bring up differences of opinion and situations that can build tensions. Many times people work through them and compromising in miniscule differences is important to make anytelationship work. But if its a relationship with a huge age gap, more serious issues like family planning might become touchy issues where you cant really conpromise! Age will remain a factor in that relationship in SOME WAY. So you cant disregard it. Im not syaing its very important ad you shouldnt be with someone, Of course not! But youcant disregard it. Its literally impossible.

Now whats the correct amount in age dating, well i honesty dont care if your a 60 year old man and 20 yr old woman or visa versa in love with eachother. As long as it isnt immoral in that an older adult is sharing a intimate relationship with an underage person. Thats immoral. And THAT matters.

Loverosh , I am in tandem with your views ...

I dont think age matters!

Definetly not, Girl younger than guy would always work but if girl is older like double age. It woyld not !
Atleast I dont think so

Skywatcher01 , I also think the same .

I won't give much importance to age since it does not matter at all for most of the peoples. Love is more important than age and if you are fully in love then it doesn't matter you are marrying a younger person or a older person.

There's this one guy who's like 2-4 years older than me, and I really like him. Therr's nothing bad in tht much of an age difference. If it was over 7 years then its a lot tho.
