No, Age Isn't "JUST" A Number (Page 2)

[BigJake]

The reason people say "age is just a number" is because there are so many people out there who are trying to impose their beliefs about dating on others. I went to a wedding where my 25 year-old cousin was marrying her 41 year-old fiance, and there were relatives talking shit about their age difference.

[bethshepherd]

Yet half of the relatives that were talking shit about their age difference were unable to find and make happy and be happy through a person of their own age or thereabouts. I have known of couples who blame their marriage/relationship going wrong on different nationalities, others on an age gap, but in truth there are just as many couples who are from the same age group that do not work out.

[BigJake]

@bethshepherd I agree. In fact, the least successful couples in my family are the high school sweethearts who were the same age. Every one of them grew apart so that they now stay married only because they don't believe in divorce.

[bethshepherd]

I know lots of couples who stay married because they do not believe in divorce - or health - or religion - they often use excuses such as it is for the sake of the family/children - but it is always for their own sake. Many of them are women who are too lazy and uneducated/skilled to get a good job so stay with a rubbish or boring husband because he provides for them. It gets quite laughable when they pontificate on whether another couple are right for each other - or the other couple's age gap - when they have and still are making so many mistakes themselves.

Yeah strange, that last part, I generally have a rule of more than ten years younger, something might change if I really want a family, but abiding by laws and bring guided by morals seems to make me comfortable. I actually don't look my age, so girls get surprised when I tell them.

[ryancg]

I get where you're coming from, but when it's two consenting adults, then yes, age is just a number. Just because someone may have more experience doesn't mean they've gained any more wisdom from it than someone with less experience, and wisdom is what truly matters.

[clampfan101]

Definitely. Even if the younger one isn’t minor it’s really weird for someone young dating someone older than their parents. Goodness gracious.

[clampfan101]

“Aww. She’s so cute. Is she your daughter?”
“No, she’s my wife...”
lol Awkward.

[Angelina25]

Lmao

[elizamichale2]

there are things which dont need to be said and are implied no matter what and i think when its said that age is just a number then it is implied that we need to keep our minors safe and out of such context

[AlexEfron]

Age is a word
10 is a number

I dated or at least sort of dated a woman from my work. She's 40 and I'm 23. We had a few weeks of fun and both decided it won't work out for long enough. She already has a child and knew that I want to start a family. She knew that she wouldn't be able to and didn't want to ruin my chance of starting one. It worked out fine.

[Rissyanne]

If someone dated and marry someone with a large age gap... eventually you will be changing their diapers.

[Rissyanne]

I find the dude who is 66 and says his girlfriend is 22. This dude is lying big time. He’s married lol

[Pocahontas2000]

I agree, I doubt I'll ever date someone who's more than 5 years older than me. I am just not that attracted to older guys, so I might be exception too.

[Naydyonov]

Yeah,
the easiest argument is:
if age is just a number then pedophilia doesn't exist and thus isn't bad.

..
See the look on their faces as they attempt to muster out an excuse

[Germanium]

See, the thing is, there's something called context.
The context is two consenting adults. End of that story.

However that doesn't mean that there aren't any responsible and mature teens out there. Same to say that that doesn't mean there aren't any naive adults.

So really, to two mature minded individuals, age is just a number.
However it is definitely rare to find a teenager/child out there with the capability to understand differences between reality and hormonal/emotional augmented perspective and even after that function under rational assumption.

[Naydyonov]

@Germanium Generally yes.
The only thing that holds is life goals.
The truth is that the average person lives to be an average age, thus a 20 year old girl who wants a child with a 70 year old man will by the average only have a father for the child till age 12-14 based on the average, and based on the average for those who live past the average we'd be maybe getting to 20.
So, by doing this she sets herself and her child up to loss of a husband/father at the maximum age of 40/20.
As an example.

[BrittBratt2416]

Yea tell that to the pedos who think age is just a number lol

[Anonymous]

You are a great writer. Very convincing. I hope you are using this valuable gift to your benefit.

[Angelina25]

Thank you so much :)

[VIVANT]

i agree about experience but if a 20 year old and a 40 year old are both starting school and have never dated-why not.

[Mi2mi2a]

20 year age gap has a 95% of seoaration so yeah there is that too.

[bubble_tea]

Good thing that VS model met her boyfriend in France then. She was 17, he was over 18. He would be slapped with a statutory rape charge lol.

[bubble_tea]

I agree though that a 20 years age gap rarely works for most people.

[Loveherbut]

So whats upsetting you?
when i was early 20s all the people that i truly wanted were in their 30s even late 30s.

[majorG]

R. Kelly says it's just a number. But that guy also believes he can fly...

[cherryphi82]

Lol ;)

[Caaarl]

So you're saying R. Kelly could give some golden advice? 🤔

[majorG]

@Caaarl Hahahahaha nice! Yes - to Donald Trump...

[Caaarl]

@Caaarl They probably could share stories. 😂

[majorG]

@Caaarl Lol

[Dchrls78104]

@majorG Actually, he didn't. Aaliyah did. He's just walking the talk😏😂😊

[Bismarck12]

Obviously pedophilia is an atrocious act, but I'm in my twenties and I'm dating a woman who is almost forty. I don't mind. She doesn't mind. Why is it anybody's business at that point?

[VIVANT]

Precise 😊

[dandee55]

It all depends on the people involved: what they have in common; what makes them gel; their core beliefs. And how mature they are (mentally).
