Does age matter in a relationship?

[Dranana]

Do you prefer someone younger than you or older than you?

I love both🐧

[TheorionMage]

The hardest part of adult life is "unlearning" the promulgated societal norms foisted off upon naive juveniles who trusted vested indoctrinated kin. A worthwhile recent meme sez: "One cannot 'childproof' the World and so you must 'world-proof' the Child".

In a relationship with a less 'worldly' companion (usually younger) IDEALLY with vested good intent, you can 'shepherd' One's 'beloved' to circumvent predominant Society's self-serving exploitation's. Humans learn foremost by observation and firsthand experience; if you can 'wizen' your Paramour through observation of OTHER'S gullibility and mistakes borne of THEIR being 'strong-willed' and short-sighted... you provide them a VALUABLE experience WITHOUT 'wisdom for the pain'. When the gender age difference is reversed younger male > more mature female... RARELY is the female sufficiently worldly 'jaded' that the male is little more than a 'boy toy' or a gigolo at best. 'Quid Pro Quo'~

Yes, some age gaps are too much they don't work... I like both younger and older... Both of them have their appeal and can be fun... Younger are adventurous and wild... And older are demanding and challenging... If I can just have all that in a girl my age it would be great

[letuswaltzforthedead]

I remember hearing that it does matter after a certain point, that couples with a 10-12+ age gap tended to separate more than couples with shorter age gaps. The norm is 2-3 years and less from what I've seen. Personally, I don't care as long as it isn't illegal or wrong (like dating a grandpa because he's on his deathbed), you do you.

Love is not related to age, looks, color, distance

[BLP11520]

Some one I see everyday guessed I was 46

[U4ea0]

@karin1985 Very naive. Romantic love unfortunately is related to those things.

[DaveJord]

Yes it matters, at some point depending on the factors. For me at 46 I prefer to date anyone between the ages of 40 to 50. But with that said I am more forgiving of a young women then older women. I will go younger and I will go older... but the older ones have to be very good looking, and the younger are not really interested in a 46 year old guy.

But at 46 I am just good enough looking for my age... because age matters.

I have had the most success with the 44 to 46 crowd.

[Pinay_ako]

Of course. Only If it’s illegal …

But Idc younger or older to date

If you want kids with your partner you should consider their age.

Women older than 35 are unlikely to have healthy kids.

Men older than 55 are unlikely to have healthy kids.

There are rare exceptions that do still have healthy kids, but it is less than 2% that try past those ages that successfully have healthy kids with no learning disabilities if they are even able to reproduce at all.

[AuroraBorealis20]

"Women older than 35 are unlikely to have healthy kids."

If you said 40, I'd agree with you that it's risky for women past that age to carry a child, but 30? The majority of women nowadays usually don't get married and have kids earlier than their 27-28.
Most healthy women who get pregnant after age 30, they have healthy babies. Even with fertility issues, there are many ways to help families have children, through IVF, donor eggs, or surrogacy

It's a bit funny you claim that men can have healthy kids up to 55, because for most sperm banks the upper age limit for a sperm donor is 40, according to Google...

[AuroraBorealis20]

I think Gag is a strange world. All these 40 and 50 year olds, acting like they're Brad Pitt and have a chance with 20 y. olds are so funny. In real life most couples are within the same age group or the guy is about 5-6 years older

[Dranana]

I think you wrong 😂

[Dranana]

@AuroraBorealis20 thank you for explaining

[JFelix]

I like to stick to my age range just because I tend to be more compatible with them, my age range tends to like similar things, whether that's humour or just outlook on life, which means we understand each other better. I've always felt a lot more mature than people my age which is why I tend to go for women slightly older or my age, never younger as their usually doing really dum shit that is ruining their life's and I ain't trying to be dragged down with them.

[20yearsolder]

Nope, makes no difference to me. I'm 56 years old, not going to lie I prefer younger. Going older is just not appealing

[TroyDT]

Age matters as much as the couple allows it to.

I tend to date older, maybe because I was raised by my grandparents so I was always around older people.

[BLP11520]

I wish I had a younger woman to love, if she could love an older guy...

[Dranana]

She would come around. Just wait

[BLP11520]

Life ain't easy

[Dranana]

It can be

[BLP11520]

I want it more everyday

[Amy10223]

It doesn't matter, it depends more on personality. But I have to be honest---I am attracted visually to younger men--by about 10 to 15 years.

[Rei02]

I prefer people around my age, something like between -5 and 5 respectively. Younger and older of this rank no.

[AddylynnNightingale]

For me it does. I don't want him to be too old. It only means that there is a bigger chance that I have to see him die before me.

[77five]

Used to like older guys until I learned how creepy and misogynistic they were.

[baserunner611]

No, that y we United States are too many suicides too many depressing to many mental we must be happy to Hollywood or ads exe in New York City not just look for love

[Avicenna]

I prefer younger (30s). Age usually doesn't matter as much as many people assume it does.

[Jaysonava]

It matters

but every relationship is a little bit different. So it's more complicated than having a cut off date.

[magiusX26]

am currently 44 but want (if i was still eilling to date) her to be in her 20s prefferably but use tge age range of 18 to 30.

[BettyBogas]

i am 20 you are so swwet

[magiusX26]

thank you

[Twalli]

I can go 10 years in either direction. I am kind of torn on preference. On one hand I don't want to outlive my wife, but I also don't want her to have to suffer and outlive me.

[Jennz6]

I love 💕 both too

[Dranana]

Yaay

[ericclayton]

Not really. But I would advise older adults to stay away from the under 25 crowd, as the brain hasn't fully developed yet.

[Zolly99999]

It depends on if it's a long term relationship or not. I don't think a big age gap would work in a long term relationship.

[Hardworkingguy]

Well I've noticed that younger women sometimes sweeter but older women are much more open to passion and say what they feel more directly
