Does ages really matter in relationships?

[Happy06]

I know lovers who are nine years apart and just as happy as those who are two months apart in age. Don't close yourself off based on age, but take into consideration where people of different ages are in their lives.

[Pancho95]

I dont think so. But in order to get into relationship you need something like looking, money or just age to be similiar as your partner. If you are the one that distributes the security and other things. If you are a women than the ages doesnt matter. It matter how mature your thinking is. 

[Karavadinos]

Age never really matter when two people get well together . I think it is silly to put an end to a relationship just because your partner is younger and older with few years. But of course everything has limits.

[ninjacrack]

Yes, and at least 20 years old you can enter into a relationship because that age, you can feel what love is. And the maturity of the couples can feel as well.

[Quaglia]

Why should YOU decide which age gap is acceptable inside a couple? Let the couple decide what is acceptable for them!

[Micko1369]

I think it can be matter when you are young, and you have 14, and your girlfriend have 20. That is not normall for me.
But when you get older and have 24, it's normaln to have girlfriend 6 years older.
My opinion!

[zedkiel08]

Yes i think it matters in a relationship , but depends on both persons age. If the person is not in legal age and the otherisin the legal age that is not acceptable. But when both peeson is in the legal age , and the other is younger its acceptable as long as they are in the legal age. Relationship needs both couple the trust with themselves to be able to survive in their relationships and love with each other. They say age doesn't matter as long as you love someone , but the truth is , it matters a lot , you don't want to accused you a adultery or child abuse.

Well I think it says a lot about a person if they specifically date younger people. It would mean that probably that person is not as interested in his mate's maturity as much as other aspects.

There is no rule of course, but if a person dates someone that is a lot younger, it could seem like they are taking advantage of them and they possibly are, even if it unintended.

I personally feel like the 80% younger person has a pretty low possibility to be close to your equal in maturity, but even bellow 90% can be suspicious.
I guess you can see connection between that an IQ, as I believed that once IQ was defined as a maturity compared to age, where 100 means 1:1 ratio.
There is only a very small percent of population bellow 80 percent of IQ and they are classified as having border-line deficiency.

The point is that it isn't really fair to the less mature person to be in a relationship with someone quite more mature then them.
The wiser person in a relationship could quite possibly take charge and get his/her way even in the best intention.
Certain equality between the couple seems to be quite necessary, but there are of course many people in many different situation in their life, so making any quick judgments could be unfair.

So if i am 40 and dating a 28years old girl, that can be a case of taking advantage of another?
What of females who naturally prefer dating older male. who is taking advantage of who?

[Magister Magus]

Of course if you are aged you'd like a beautiful and young girl.
But the relationship become dad/daughter, and it's not healthy.
Believe me.

[Veidt]

It doesn't really count in a relationship, as long as it is legal. Age is only a number, I am a guy on my 20s, I would have no problem dating a woman on her 30s. But this could be a problem longterm, the bigger the gap is, the more unlikely it is to last..

[NightCloudz07]

Age signifies so much more than just a number: it can reflect your maturity, your stage in life, and your experience.  At the same time, age can be deceptive.Does  it matter if men date younger women? If so, how much of an age gap is an acceptable one?

no age doesent matter because if you love the person you love age cannot be doesent matter because in a relationship you will not be see in the age you see at the personallity not at age if you love him you will fight for him in the name of love if you love

[white01]

Yes i think it matters in a relationship , but depends on both persons age. If the person is not in legal age and the otherisin the legal age that is not acceptable. But when both peeson is in the legal age , and the other is younger its acceptable as long as they are in the legal age.

They say age doesn't matter as long as you love someone , but the truth is , it matters a lot , you don't want to accused you a adultery or child abuse.

So if one is 18 and the other is 55 provided both are within legal age, its ok?

[marinomario]

This is because in addition to a considerable distance of age, there are many other things that can increase the risk of divorce, such as differences in culture, residence, family riwaya, education, and income. these things can even affect your relationship and your partner more than the age difference.

however, one thing that is certain is that if you continue to be fixated on the age difference that is far between you and your partner, this of course can affect your relationship with your partner in the future.

so if you and your partner can get along together, have good communication, can solve problems together, and love each other; then age is not important. do not equate yourself with others, who may have problems with your partner because of the considerable age difference .

[Sithara007]

5-6 years difference in the age is OK. But anything more than that can be quite risky. There can be a generation gap, and problems can arise if the partners are not very understanding about each other. Also, in cases where the female partner is older than the male, there can be insecurity issues for the latter and the former may try to dominate.

[dongyi17]

now a days.. age doesn't matter anymore...it doesn't matter too whose older as long as they were getting along well in life I  prefer 10 years age gap would be better .. it would better if they both parents or family is agreeing to their relationship and they talk things matters that concern personal such as money, wealth, religion or if they have kids in their previous  spouse to avoid conflict, as long as love rules and reign between them they marriage continue thru lifetime.

[Applechild]

Age is not equals to maturity and maturity is of the mind. you can choose an older or younger person, it is an individual thing. though some people will tell you Adam was made before Eve not Eve before Adam. Meaning that the lady is not supposed to be older than her man but rather the other way round. But the same older man may turn out to be naive while the younger person acts mature.

[leexhin]

Now a days age doesn't matter anymore. It doen't matter who is older what matter is they both understand and respect each other. For me, i prefer 3-4 years ages gap.

[diegz]

Age doesn't matter -as we always hear from those lovers. In my opinion, it really does not matter, provided that the guy can still provide what the girl need, you know what I mean, those intimacies and those nights.

The higher the age gap of the two, I think the better. one will have a lower ego compared to another who will have a lot of it. The older the guy is better too.

Age is not the basis for you to love. There were no age limits given by people even God. And if you have truely love person, you cant stop and deny it. So dont think about the people who tells you have in love with the wrong person. You are the one who will love thst person not them.
