You are 22. If the girl is 23, almost 24 that's what..1 or 2 years difference? it would maybe be noticeable if you were both teenagers, but at this stage it's all the same. I would understand if it was AT LEAST 7 years difference, cause the girl would be in a different stage in her life, but a 22 and a 24 year old they are the same. of course it's just a number in some cases. the last girlfriend you had she was older, but way more immature in more ways than one, and you seemed to be the grown up, so I don't see how her being older had an impact. you could find very immature older girls and very stable young girl who've got their sh*t together. don't choose the age choose who you think is compatible.
Not true, your friend is wrong
There is absolutely nothing wrong with dating older women. There are plenty of guys that prefer older women. But is does seem to be a common thing that whoever is the older person in the relationship tends to want to "take care" of the other. If you have a lot of problems with the girl telling you what you should be doing and her not listening to your advice, then maybe a younger girl would be a better fit for you. Is this always the case? Of course not.
Date whoever makes you feel manly and in charge
That's what men need
Younger girls typically make it easier for the man to lead.
Although mature/older women are really awesome, if they dont try to mother you, or make every decision, they make excellent partners

No! You cannot help when you were born and what if you were the older one? How would YOU feel if you got rejected based on something superficial and that you cannot control! Also, I think as long as it's not a big age gap it should be fine. The bigger the age gap, the harder it is to find things in common! Even sex wise!
I would say no. Some people are more mature for their age though. (: It can go either / or, they can be younger & act more mature then the average for their age orrr they can be older than you & still act like they're in their teens, it just depends on the person (: i for one atm haven't gone above 2 years older than my age 😅😊
I have been with someone older than me and also younger and I personally don't care.
In the end it comes down to what you want from life.
As a guy who want to have children your options are limited at some age.
Well you now could say you should have thought about this when you where younger. But this might not be an option for every one unfortunately. But I would say date who you feel you belong with who cares about age.
Always is kind of arbitrary. For marriage statistically it would make more sense for woman to couple with younger men because men tend to die younger so it would give a couple more time together at the end of their lives if their marriage lasts.
No. Age within the legal age of course is just a number. My boyfriend is one year younger and you don't really notice it. Important is that you on the same page recarding marriage and kids. Older women usually have the goal to marry and want own kids. If you are not ready for that don't borther to get in a relationship with them. Not all a like that. Find someone with the same goal in life.
Personally, I feel as long as long as each party is of the legal age of consent, it should be left up to that couple's opinions. It's not my place, nor my business to attempt to controll what other people do with their personal lives.
Yes. It's the natural order of things. Women have a biological clock. They need to have kids young and start a career later in life. Men on the other hand have no such restriction and can have kids whenever, so older man will have established himself somewhat while his wife takes care of the kids until they older enough where she can go to university and have a career. Women are also happier with fewer sexual partners whereas men need to plow a few fields before they commit.
It’s more about maturity level than anything else. She could be 20 and more mature than most people. She could be 35 and still act like she is in high school.
I know people who are married, where they guy is younger than the girl. The relationships work fine. However, there are not a lot of years between them.
I always thought it eould make sense for them to be a little older because men dont live as long, so if you make it all the way to the end its more likely you'll die at the same time. Instead of leaving the other to live a few years alone.
Date someone that has similar morals, interests, and compatible long term life goals. That is what really matters.
Not really, I generally prefer older women because I thought they would be more mature, but a couple of younger women had definitely proven me wrong.
As long as you are on the same timeline it is perfectly fine. Trouble starts when the girl wants marriage in 5 years and the guy wants marriage in 10.
No you go with who you like and who you can see a future with it doesn’t matter about age. I’m going out with a 14 yr old girl and she is so more mature than girls my own age. I know that sounds wrong but come on no one can help who they fall in love with. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t but age nine times out of ten doesn’t effect anything so no it doesn’t matter if u like them and they are younger go for it just be careful and if you like them and they are older go for it as well as long as you are happy that’s what counts
Guys need to be 5 to 10 years older, that's where you see long term relationship work. Girls are also active early 20s and and guys late 20s... generally. So if they meet with that small gap, they will also enjoy your each other more.
However big differences are also not good, considering the emotional needs may not be aligned
I don't know; anyway girl get's more mature sooner than boy; so, i think it's good girl dating older man than herself;
from my personal view, I prefer younger girl than me ; but people say one can fall in love with anyone so its all depend on how thing turn out in one's life and what they will find and get.
There is a good logical argument for men to do just that.
Men's peak sexual market value SMV is tied to social economic status. Most men don't achieve high status until their late 30's and 40's. This is when they are the most attractive to highly desired women and can get the highest value mate.
Women's SMV is based on beauty and fertility. This is in her 20's.
So it makes logical sense for an older high SMV value guy to pursue younger high value SMV women.
Just find someone you want to be with.
My brother is younger than his girlfriend.
My mom is younger than my father.
And my grandmother is about 10 years or so younger than my grandfather.
I think girls age 30-40 are the most mature , now some ones age 18-21
are mature but they are far and in between , the same goes for guys the
same exact age.
What about all our favorite milfs out there? Don't leave them out to die alone.
You can't help who you fall in love with. She can be older or younger but within a reasonable age. That number differes from person to person.
