Is it a bad thing to fall in love with someone who’s older than you?

Question

And what do you think some people would say?

Tarrenniki · Accepted Answer

Nah absolutely not, why should it be anyway?

We're just humans don't expect us to do just as the novels and movies, we fall in love with who we fall in love, no matter the age and race and language and height.

When I was around 18 years old I started dating a dentist, he was 39 and I really loved him just the way he loved me. We broke up after a while just because he was about to leave the country forever and I couldn't agree to that terms.

It is, especially if the person is old enough to be your parent 👀

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Accepted Answer

Yes, I think it's fine for a person to fall in love with an older person. My one class-mate, who is age 56, married a guy who is 26 years older than herself. He adopted her son she had to another guy and them two had two biological children together, they grew up and on their own. But I think it's all fine.

MementoMori777 · Accepted Answer

I thought it was quite normal for women to fall for older guys, it might only be a problem if he's way older than you and simply cause of health problems, he's gonna kick the bucket a lot sooner than you.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Unless they are born on the exact same date. . . in every relationship, one partner is older and one is younger. I suppose you are asking about a significant age difference.

I am 68 years old. My fiancee will be 60 in mid-September. The only time we are conscious of the age difference is when people ask us about the age difference.

ohsheeT · Answer

No I don't think it's bad at all and to be honest with you I wouldn't care what people say I would make it a point to tell them to f*** off because it's none of their business I love the answers on here when somebody's talking about being with an older man or blah blah blah and the answers that you get I understand to a point that usually it's a woman an older woman who just goes out of her way to bad mouth the whole situation I mean it's eats to their own but for me I would not care what anybody said

RHK36 · Answer

No, age is just a preference when you get older. I don't care what other people think about my relationships because they're mine. You shouldn't either, you do you.

Losalt · Answer

Personally I don't think that there's anything wrong with that pr say ethically.
But be aware that if the age difference is large you *will* be in different stages of your lives with the consequences that entails.

Bricealan · Answer

At 30, I was attracted to, but not in love with a woman who was the same age as my mother. One day at work she said to me: ' You'd probably 'do it' to me if I would let you " And of course I would, but we were not in love.

ShesRad80 · Answer

no if both consenting adults, its up to them

SnowedIn · Answer

It is not bad. People are going to say all sorts of things. Ignore them. As long as you are both of legal age, consenting, and happy -- go for it.

Hithere4567 · Answer

I think it's fine, if you're both consenting adults. People make too big a deal over age gaps. If you're happy, that's the most important thing, IMHO.

DannyUk2017 · Answer

Says age 50 but you look more like late 20's 🤔 Is not wrong because if you're both adults then is normal. 🤷‍♂️, is just the jealous type that they see something Abnormal! 🤦‍♂️

thatshydork · Answer

People often are attracted to/fall in love with someone older than them. It’s nothing short of normal.

jamesgoldman · Answer

No and who cares what people say I can recall dating my older ex who got flirted with in a restaurant we were in together and she let the waiter go on then kissed me, his face was a painting honestly

Ezra_lila · Answer

molonski2 · Answer

NO , the male should always be older , does not work the other way , and it makes good positive sense.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

Love is so hard to find these days and age is just a number.

jwmiller95 · Answer

I've dated way older than me to younger than me and I haven't noticed a difference. Older women seem to be more mentally together and prioritized. I've had more issues with younger women.

DaBiggestBird · Answer

Yeah if they’re old enough to be your parent or something.

Anonymous · Answer

Not as long as there's mutual respect. That is always a must in any relationship. Age gaps that are too big, the elder can sometimes feel they're older and more mature. You can't have a healthy relationship without mutual respect.

bowenw · Answer

Personally I don't see it as a problem. Love is love. Some narrow minded people may object.

smilelots · Answer

Im not sure in the end if it really matters as long as your compatible with each other right..

Sparkie460 · Answer

No it doesn't matter as long as you both are of legal age

Massageman · Answer

My grandpa married my grandma and she was older- two whole months older.

shades777 · Answer

its simply a preference, the morality of the decision should not be factored unless your dealing with a minor or someone underdeveloped mentally.

htmndg183 · Answer

Its not bad at all. There is no law against it. Two adults minding their own business and being happy.

Why do you need that ridiculous picture to ask this question?

Women typically fall for men older than them. Question is, how much older, is ok
