Nope, my (23) girlfriend is dating a (46) me. I mean, it isn't weird to us, but it is definitely weird in terms of "what is normal and average in society". We are outliers, and we know it, but we don't personally feel weird. And most people don't treat us weird or act weird about it. Our friends and families accept us, and even laugh about it a bit with us.
This video says that about 8% of heterosexual relationships have an age gap of 10 years or more:
I've heard many people with similar age gaps having regrets. I think past 25-30 any age gap is fine but the 23 year old is gonna be a different person in 2 years when the brain is fully developed
Nah that is fine as long as you are happy and comfortable with it. The only thing with this type of relationship is making sure he’s dating you and not your age, as when you get to say 25, you might find he’s lost interest and is dating some other 21 -23 yr old
8 years is seriously nothing, especially if the younger partner is 20+. I'd worry less about the age gap and more about how compatible the two of you are, how you get along, whether you make each other happy, etc.
For me personally it would in most cases, I need to be on the same mental level as the girl and at 22 they are usually just students. So she'd need to be mature outside of that for the age gap to work out.
No that is not weird. My sister and married with three kids and her husband is 8 years older than her. Me personally I would go out with a girl 9 years younger with no issues but that is the max I would want.
As long as both people are adults, it should not be a problem! Why put such stupid barriers if the compatibility is excellent? Why nip a budding relationship full of potential in the bud?
My first long-term relationship was with a man 9 years older than me :D It worked for some time, but I was too independent for him, and he was too controlling for me :D
In the 20's, yes, bordering on criminal (i. e., ages 25 and 17) . After the 30's for the older partner, no. At my age, eight years is FAR TOO LITTLE.(I couldn't imagine dating a 62-year-old woman unless she were LOADED !!!)
My guy who’s even gonna date you at your RIPE age of 70. You’re delusional if you think a much younger woman would want you. Consider yourself lucky if the 62 years old lady wants you.
@Nefertity112 You've never seen me, lady. Women in their thirties have approached me recently because of my boyish good looks. Jealous much, Your Royal Majesty?
Lmaoooo you’re 70. SEVENTY. EXamples like you just goes to show me how delusional men actually are 😂😂 Never taking what any of y’all say seriously because people who live in fantasy land can’t utter a rational thought.
@Nefertity112 Delusional my handsome,165+ IQ black a**. There are exceptions to every rule, and I'm the exception to EVERY rule and/or narrative, girlie.
