As long as the older paerson is not using their age or experience to abuse or manipulate the younger one, then there should be absolutely no age limit on any kind of consensual activity from fucking or dating. I would not recommend marraige at a young age, because that can lock you out of a lot of fun experiences, but again if its what they really want then fine.
When you say lock out of fun and experience are you referring to going to parties and going different places, because marriage isn’t boring unless you make it boring, you still can go to parties or travel around with your partner, it just depends on you and your partner wild fun and resources
Age has no bearing in relationships or sex in any way. Fun can be had regardless of any years accumulated! And that fun can be had any way the girl or boy pleases.
I think age matters because there's always a level of maturity. Being 18, dating a 24, 25 year old, we're not going to be at the same level, we don't have the same experiences yet. It makes this complicated. However, for some people it works and it also works when you're +30 and settled.
Im an adult, obviously I only date other adults. So when I say "age doesn't matter" I mean it in a legal sense. I have only been interseted in/dated guys that are older than me. The biggest age gap I have had with a guy was 10 years. I find dating older guys to be really pleasent, never had any issues.
Yes age is important but it's not determinant. I think the best age would be 7 years, of course the man being older. I am talking about being together through all the seasons of life. If the girl is too young like 18, maybe a 25 years old seems too old for her. But later overall I think this is a good age gap.
Nope only matters if you want kids. But people can fall in love at any age and tbh life is too short to worry about what others think of the two of you. Love is ha d to come by. When you have it, don't ever let it go because love really is the most powerful thing you can possess in this world. Everything else, when it really matters is just noise.
No ones talking about how it should matter if you're still a minor, girl or boy, about to marry a grown ass adult. Even if you're at legal age (18), you're still a teenager and I would say experience life some more ALONE before you even start SERIOUSLY thinking about getting married. When that is all said and done then I don't think it would matter, but personally I wouldn't want to be with anyone that is significantly older (2 years max) and I don't like to date people younger than me.
I understand what you’re saying, but as soon as you reach certain age it’s by nature to want a boyfriend/girlfriend, but girls tend to want marriage earlier than boys do or men do, plus I don’t think anyone under 30 truly understand what marriage and marriage life is and how to handle it, we all want to marry but we don’t know what marriage life is about, we tend to life in a fairytale land especially women and Prince Charming when it comes to marriage, I think we need to be educated more about marriage from people who are successfully married
Plus minors aren’t included in this topic only young adults and adults, teenagers date teenagers and if it’s from another country where adults date or marry minors thiers nothing you can say or do to change that because every country have thier beliefs and culture no matter what it is , I only comment where it applies to my community and culture
Dating or marrying a child is not a belief nor does it have anything to do with culture, there are countries in the world that often times force young girls off into marriage including in the U. S and often times its not really a choice. And if you're implying that all girls live in a fairytale romanticizing what marriage is then you're an idiot.
as long as he's not younger than me then I don't care... I say up to 35 for now, but if I fall for a guy who's older than that then I wouldn't back away because of his age. however if he's that much older, he's gotta be in a good shape, health wise...
Doesn’t matter to me at all when I fall in love. I would usually go for older guys because they’re wiser but there’s no harm in dating younger than me if they want.
For me it's okay. I have dated men much younger than me. In the end, it's about how compatible you're with the person. There's nothing wrong or right in this till it's a healthy and understanding relationship.

911 is also a number...
jk jk lol. A more mature answer: If an 18 year old is dating a 32 year old, its legal but both of them are at different points in their life. It wouldn't work out yk?
I probably date a girl either around my age, 18-60, I don't want to date a girl around my grandparents age, while under eighteen is literally hitting pedophilia level, so yes she has to at least be 18- 60, So while age doesn't play a huge part in dating for me, I still want to date a consisting adult or an older women that isn't in her seventy.
For me, yes. I've flirted with different ages but can't see myself officially dating anyome outside of the 3 year gap. Too old/too young would make me uncomfortable
That is literally the opposite of what I said @SamE86. A 13 year old girl cannot be a “consenting adult” as she is not an adult. When I say “consenting adult” I am referring to both parties being over 18.
When I say it matters for legality reasons (and FTR, I agree with the law on this one) I am saying those under 18, like a 13 year old girl, would be protected under the law.
Yeahh, because I don't know about you, but I would find it kind of weird seeing some 14 year old girl dating or walking down the isle with some dude who's like in his mid to late 20's. Just sayin'. It does matter.
well, the older person is likely to get left at some point if they are way older. I think its harder if you are at two entirely different places in your life. Right person wrong time...
I think when real loves knock at your door it isn't matter at all, you just forget how old is he.. in the middle while, yes, more than an age topic is about on what step of your life are you and the other.
Generally, it doesn't. A relationship depends on the understanding and connection between two individuals, regardless of their age. A couple can have a strong relationship as long as they love, respect and care for each other.
A I'm sure girls are more sexually attracted to handsome young boys. However there is social status and financial factor that is less important from male perspective but significant for girls who see often their beauty as only one asset they have.
Statistically speaking the bigger the age difference the more likely you are to divorce. It can work sure, but you are rolling the dice past a 15 year difference.
If she is adult, I dont have any problem but I prefer above 20 at least :)

Not at all, I'd go as old as 45 and I'd go as young as 16 if it were legal.

To me, it matters if it’s not too far apart.

Just an update (unfortunately, I can’t edit my comment/answer), age difference does matter, but the age in which both are when falling in love doesn’t really matter, like it would be weird for a 10 year old girl to date a 13 year old guy, but it would be fine for a 10 year old girl to date an 11 year old boy. It would also be fine for people to be with someone at the age of 5 or 6, as long as both are within similar ages, although it would be very innocent in those ages, for a great reason. However, to me it doesn’t look fine for people to get married under the age of 18, or under the age of 13 if they both haven’t yet obtained some career and a job that gives gives adequate income (for any age under 18), but I believe that the legal marriage age should be probably 10 or so, but in that age up to the age of 15 or 16 it should require that their age difference is no greater than 731 days,, even though I don’t believe it is fine to marry under the age of 16 without an adequate career and adequate income, and I would say it isn’t morally okay for people under the age of 13 or 12 regardless to get married. As for engaging, to each their own but marriage better be planned accordingly and not to the level that would go outside what I label as okay or outside the boundaries of what their parents call acceptable.
