Do guys care if a girl is older than them? If not, then what age gap is fine?

[Anonymous]

I'm talking about guys who are in their 20s. I know people hardly care about a 1 or 2 year age gap. But what about 4-5 year age gap (the girl being older of course).

[Camallunt]

It wouldn't particularly bother me, as long as we have common ground and she doesn't try to treat me as a child say in an argument or act like my opinion is less valid then I'd not mind an older woman. It only really starts to get strange when close to the age of your mother.

[Illusive_Man]

Not really , 10 and up is alright.
4-5 down.

Interacting with the younger generation feels like I'm off to another planet sometimes.

[Asker]

Haha so cool!

[Illusive_Man]

I mean , you can share the childhood of the generation , looney tunes in the morning , fixing up the internet so your counsin can go to barbie. com , running around in the yard , riding bikes.
The new gen don't really have that kinda... upbringing any more.

It's like they came from a different world lol

[Asker]

But people would judge you! And 10 years older than you, won't she feel like you don't know many things of her time? And isn't a younger girl considered prettier?

[Illusive_Man]

People are gonna judge you for what you wear , how you walk , how you speak , how you write , your heritage , your family , your friends , all sort of things.
There's 24 hours in a day , if I care about being judged , I would have stayed home , in a closet , in a box , wrapped in cling wrap sucking on a pacifier while being nursed by my mum. People are gonna judged you for one thing or another anyway , why care?

As for knowing things of her time , well it's an adventure then :D
What joy is there treading over paved roads? I can learn.

As for a younger girl considered "prettier" ... it's more a sort of juvenile beauty which is sliiightly creepy in the sort of making eye contact as someone eats a banana kinda way.

I prefer feminine beauty , but hey what do I know?

It's all about little boys and girls now ain't it?
Men now shave their legs , their arms and face to be little boys and girls on TV are becoming younger by the year.

WEEIRD standard of beauty.

Haha you're awesome! Even though you and I are probably the same age :P. But I do agree, the concept of age.. dunno. I think people don't change as much as it seems, its not like when you're 18 you are farrrrr less mature than at 25. You just learn to handle things better or to be more responsible, we constantly learn. Alas, society is less understanding. And I love how you put it, by the way the banana comment made me think of the Asian women who try to look school girl instead of their age (and they look gracefully young anyway). Either way, I'm sure you do well with the older ladies ;). good on you! Anyone would be lucky to have someone who goes for what he likes and not what people might think!

[Illusive_Man]

Hey , people who go by their heart ain't unicorns , you just gotta find them... coming to think of it we already have unicorns , they're called rhinos but that's beside the point.
Anyway , all the best eh?

[Asker]

I know! I guess I move in the wrong circles :P, all my peers care about is looking the best and happiest. I care about my life away from life.. if you know what I mean :P. Thanks and you too!!

I noticed that European men tend to like older women. I knew a guy who was 21 and he married a 25 year old girl

[Anonymous]

I know a woman who has been happily married to a 7 years younger man.

[Asker]

But people judge..

[Opinion Owner]

Maybe some people judge, but who cares if you and him are happy.. If I were here, I wouldn't give a sh8t what people say

[Asker]

Haha that's so good, I have to get passed that. I'm not perfect I know, but I don't like the idea of being a cougar or people psychoanalysing you. You know where they think you are ruining the younger man, or want to mother him and crap. Obviously not the case but people can be nasty, from what I've seen with my friends

[Opinion Owner]

no matter what one does, people will find a their way for gossips..

[Asker]

True, if not age then the guy being tall and girl short or vice versa, or fat guy and skinny girl etc.

[chocolatedragon]

Not a problem.
She can be my cougar and I'll be her cub.
But seriously tho, I would date a girl 10 years older than me assuming she looked decent.

[Iloveocha]

Would not bother me at all :)

[StickStickity13]

I would date a girl 4-5 years older.

[NerdInDenial]

10 years would be my limit.

[Phoenix98]

I prefer we be close in age.

[Anonymous]

I care if it's more than 1 or 2 years.
