Does age matter when dating or marriage?


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
100% agree @_lilkittyamy_
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.
@Rose_2000 so true!!
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.

I try not to hold a younger girl's inexperience against her.
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.
hey awesome profile pic i love the zombie bride movie
@crazysassypaws21 Yess! Corpse bride is one of my fav movies. Thank you! :)
ur very much welcome i love the art work in it
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.
Yeah seems like 7 years old is indeed the best age :D
:P
@_lilkittyamy_ I meant a 7 years age gap
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.
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.
I like. But...
age does matter. hence why the fact people in less developed countries marry 10-12 year old girls... just... ewww.
@HolyGrail Context matters and OP provided no context
Age not matter but an 'intent' of marriage does.
Age doesn't matter maybe to both of you.. but it does matter to people outside you two.
It's called 'social consequances'.
Also there is no rules law that tells us 'you can not fall in love with younger or older woman'if it's real love not lust.
'Law' is clear there what is acceptible and what is not. There is some. social norms too.
What age difference we talking about here?
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.
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.
3-4 years is the most I would go when it comes to age gaps.
I think just about everything matters, but just the fact that it matters doesn't mean we can't find a way.
As for the age gap between my wife and me, we're just under one year apart (I'm slightly older).

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.
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?
Not at all true! I’ve seen younger with older make it work! DM for details
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
It only matters foe legality reasons. If both are consenting adults, go for it.
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.
Studies have proven that marriages with large age gaps tend to be less satisfying over time and tend to result in higher rates of divorces.
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.
Yes of course age matters.
