what is your opinion on a 20yo mature male dating a 25yo female?

[Finchie40]

My girlfriend now is 4 years older than me , so to me age is just a number , the chemistry and connection is what matters , I don’t really hold age as a deciding factor when I like a girl , If her and I have a lot in common and we enjoy each other’s company and we are both attracted to each other that’s all that matters , The only way I would say No is if she is underage , but I like to think I am wise enough not to go for a girl that is under legal age , even though some girls look older then what they really are and that’s rare but that has happened and I was shocked but that’s where I draw the line , But other than that age isn’t really a deciding factor for me , I have dated younger girls that were more mature than girls my age. The thing is we don’t walk around with signs flashing above our heads saying how old we are. If I see a beautiful girl that catches my eye and I approach her , the first thing out of my mouth isn’t going to be How old are you? Lol that would be kind of silly , All that matters is her and I have amazing chemistry and connection, if the topic of age comes up later in the conversation and I find out she is 10 years younger or older than me , that doesn’t mean I am automatically going to not like her anymore , so that’s why age doesn’t really effect me , People that hold age as a deciding factor are only limiting themselves from meeting amazing people is how I look at it.

I do not care about the year gap as long as the people involved are within the age of consent.

1000000000% agree!!!

I’ve heard of 10-13 year age differences between a younger man and older woman where the couple has been together longer than ex wives the same age as themselves.

[hahahmm]

If he's very mature for his age & they are both looking for serious it's not a big deal. If the younger one wants serious & the older one doesn't but is just faking it to get sex or other benefits that's wrong. Well that's always wrong regardless of age differences.

The older you get the less age gaps matter - i mean they matter but the gap can be wider without it mattering... so when you're 30s a 5 year gap doesn't mean anything.

That said... if you waste 5 years of your life on a dead end relationship it's going to hurt you WAY MORE than it hurts the guy so you might want to make sure you don't spend too much time spinning your wheels if the relationship seems stalled.

Momma's aren't bad Nick Jonas married a 10 year older women from india as a celebrity with people judging him constantly so why can't you, fun fact men die sooner then women because female hormone estrogen works as antioxidant and protect cells and dna.
If he wants to play video games and meet people go on vacation, party and you want babies and want to settle down it may not work because he is just starting life out the university he hasn't seen anything and you should allow his hobbies, dreams, goals etc

Not going to work out. The fact you needed to say he was "mature" showed that he is only (at most) as mature as you are... as an immature 25 year old. This guy is probably in college, doesn't have a lot going for him financially, and for some reason you're going for him.

This dynamic, where the girl is in a higher place than the guy doesn't work.

I do also agree with your comment. I felt “mature” needed to be said because immediately people do think 20yo male is immature (i do). Though I personally don't think that males mature with age. They mature when their mentality changes. There is no specific age. But as I have observed most guys mature after they complete their education and step into their practical life. People who read a lot are more matured than their age group also. It's very relative. Thank you for your honest response! ☺️

I don't think it's anybody's business if you're both happy that's what it's all about it's between you two and only you two when other people start getting involved that's what starts causing problems and you both don't need that in your life you need to experience and live what you're living I think it's cool I think it's great and I think if you both are into it and like it and like each other then do it and don't listen to anybody else

[Asker]

Thank you for your response!! 😃

[ohsheeT]

You're welcome I've been there before and you're going to sucks a lot of good ways that other people want to interfere or get in your business so that's why I said what I said I mean it's your decision in the long run

I have always looked for that same within five years type gap. And the coupe of times I have considered raising the gap was just because I found a younger girl who was super mature. And hot… but we are focusing on the maturity part.. lol! I have no issues with that gap. I’m so feel a little weird about the fact that the girl is older then the guy. But that is becoming more of a thing.

[Asker]

I do agree completely. I feel a little weird about the fact the girl is older than the guy, however as you say it is becoming more of a thing!

[Dazed0N0Confused]

5 years isn't much of a difference, if you ask me. Although, I won't date anyone who is younger than 21. I've had men my grandparents age hit on me & try to go out with me, that's where I draw the line. If you're older than my mom, I won't be dating you.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

I had a girlfriend Shayna 4 years and five years younger. It went all right, except it was a long-distance relationship. I also was the romantic object to a five-year-younger lad. It doesn’t do anything bad to anybody. I had several relationships of longer that five years age gap.

[SeriouslyFunny00]

I think age gaps are normal as long as one is not underage. Age is just a number, especially if you find the right person and get along with them well. I've seen hundreds of couple who had huge age gaps. Love is not about age, so go on. :)

[Twalli]

My girlfriend is 5.5 years older than me, so I don't see a problem. It would be too much if the younger person was under 18.

[Asker]

Absolutely agree!!

[UnknownPuppet]

If the guy is mature enough and you can have good time then I can not find any problem with it.

[Guy13]

That's actually 20 and 30 with the Woman edge. 35 male and 27 woman would not work so well except, we FINALLY caught up ;-)

[TheorionMage]

NONE of anyone ELSE'S business, but "Go for it" ---

[ethanallen]

I have had sex with women 25 and 30 years older. I wasn't going to marry them or date them in any serious way but if you need a quick easy lay and the woman still has the body and looks, do it. A stiff prick has no conscience.

[FunkyMonkee]

Big deal! My parents were 10 years apart. Then there's Jerry Lewis whose last wife was half his age when he was in his 60's.

[Reaper1985]

the average age gap range for a couple is between 3 to 15 years based on data collected from online sources.

[BlueScorpio]

It's not bad, both are legal and in their 20s.

[Ironic_Method]

I've had age gap relationships by 14 years in either direction and they were wonderful. If it works and everyone is happy, go for it.

[OddBeMe]

I’m pro 5 yr age gap. Simply for personality compatibility. But of course as long as its not underafe do what you like. So rare to have happiness these days….

[Hardworkingguy]

My opinion that is a very small age Gap and shouldn't be married at all I have seen companies with about 15 years in difference and they've been together for many years
