How important is the age of the person you would marry to you? Would it affect you if they are older or younger than you?

Somewhat important. At my current age, I want someone around my own age. If I were older, that might change a little.

[harrrykane]

Yes, I also think that at every age, people should be close in age to their own.

[Abbycado]

Yep, agreed. If I were older, I’d like to think I’d have a little more flexibility with the age gap.

[harrrykane]

When you say “older,” for example, how old do you mean?

[Abbycado]

If I were approaching late twenties to thirties, I think I’d be more open to a larger age gap, whereas at 21, I want someone the same age.

[harrrykane]

I understand.👍

I have my preference when it comes to dating, I like guys to be older than me but no grandpa's. Not thinking about marriage right now but I guess it will be the same when time comes, maybe closer to my age then. Will see.

Age matters less than emotional maturity. I’d date or marry someone a bit older or younger as long as we share values, communication, future goals, and chemistry. Huge gaps can bring power imbalances, different life stages, even red flags. But a healthy mindset beats the birth year on their ID every time.
