Important points nonetheless. Just because it appears this way or the way you thought that it is does not necessarily mean exactly what you thought or expect it to be and that it could turn out to be anything but what you had expected it to be.
It doesn't mean in all cases but most likely it means it and I don't think that anyone is ever gonna go for someone just BC they r old but bc of other characteres they have so the cases u mentioned r already filtered out by pple
you are so right in what you are saying
That's funny. My marriage has lasted 14 years with 2 years prior of dating and my wife and I are 12 years apart. I wasn't aware we were supposed to fall apart at some point and having asked my wife, neither is she aware of that fact.
Well, do you know how hard it is to impress women as a young man nowadays, especially if you're not rich enough?
I relate more to older men, since it's too hard to impress women at my age, due to not having enough money.
How big does an age gap have to be? Like I may/do like someone who's 16 and I'm not 15 for a few months...
@txdiie_
i'd say small in highschool but after maybe 5 years
Once you reach a certain age I think it's ideal when the girl is 3-7 years younger than the guy. Mainly beacuse guys mature differently.
@FakeName123 What's the certain age? cuz I can't imagine dating someone who's 21 lol
@SuperNovaRoyalty
Exactly. That's just the point-- there is no line. There is no formula. When is the *exact moment* that someone becomes "too old" or "too young" for someone else? You're 14, so what is what supposed to mean, that you can only like boys who were literally born the same year as you? If they're one day over, they're too old? Everyone is different, and people love who they love. This topic, for some reason I can't quite understand, is a mental sticking point for this poster, LittleSally. No idea why.
Reaching a certain age = adulthood = 18+
You are making wild assumptions and taking corner cases to prove your main point, which is a fallacy.
It is completely natural for a woman to seek an older man - how much older is a separate question, as is why any of that would bother you.
Surely as long as both r over the age of consent then it has nothing to do with anyone else. Age is not something u can control just like sexual orientation, so judging someone because of who they find attractive is bigoted. They cannot help it if they fall for a man, woman, older or younger person.
I think as long as stays in the legal range who cares about age as long as 2 people feel a connection and want to b together they will relationships always have ups n downs no matter the age difference
Exactly.
fantastic you are so spot on love is love
I'm in an age gap relationship and this can be applied to any relationship regardless of age lol
True. It's sad when people will ONLY date young women or old men. Just find someone on your experience level-it has nothing to do with age.
I agree with all of your points. And those are some of the reasons why I would never be able to be in a age gap relationship.
OMG.. My aunts discussed this just a few weeks ago! They think one of my cousins is so smart for dating someone 10 years older than her.. for the most shallow reason possible.
Those things apply to any type of relationship regardless of the age gap. Try finding better arguments next time.
thank you you are so right
@BOUNTYGUY9 it's the truth. Dating a 13 year older man the issues I could possibly have with it have nothing to do with those random generalized assumptions
yes l understand
I think that these points are valid but can also be for really any relationship.
Very great take, most men who want to date younger girls are using them and many times it damages these women psychologically.
I wish I could share this post to Facebook.
And I could just as easily say most women who date older men are using them for their money and status... So in that case... It's a shitty relationship all way round so who gives a fuck about anyone's 'psychological damage'.
@Kkaos yes if the woman is gold digger then she likely use the old man as well, but if she is with him because daddy issues/foolishness, then it's mainly she who get used.
I don't care about age Gaps. I have many relatives that have 20 to 30 years between ages and they worked out just fine. As long as you're a mature adult with something in common with your partner age
gaps don't matter to me.
All very good points!
But isn't Sean Connery just gorgeous?
Extremely for his age, so it was not the best example of an creepy old man. :)
I mean especially for his age.
@Berethor yep-he coiuld ask me out any day of the week...
yes but he hits females and that is the truth
@Berethor l am not a creepy older man a lot of the younger guys are creeps and abuse there girl bunch of low lifes l always treat a girl with love and respect always
Two adults can date any adult age person they want.
If it's not a good union, it won't last no matter what TV says
I suppose... I won't deny that I am attracted to older men.
How much older? lol
@Slarenx Think about it. Girls always crush on the teachers, actors like Johnny Depp.. When people think "old" they automatically assume Hugh Hefner-old
@beyoncee well that's because Hugh Hefner is good example of it being disgusting.
@Berethor We can presume that Hefner was psychiatrically as far from the guy who is running around a playground taking pictures as anyone who would say critical thinks about him. He had since Sputnik to get himself into Michael Jackson type trouble and this never happened.
l am older and l would date a girl over 18 l look 45 if we are happy together thats the main thing l love and respect girls thats why younger girls like older guys love is the best thing in the whole world l only want to love and to be loved l am very loyal and l am a normal kind of guy
Older Men will treat you good because they are REALLY happy that you are young. However don't expect older men to be able to party like you. Watch the movie Couples Retreat, It seems pretty accurate lol.
When they should at the very least appreciate her sacrifice. :)
