Does a age differance really matter? I'm asking cause I'm interested in a younger person and I'm wondering if it can work long term. Yes I know sex isn't everything.


I would never get involved with someone 5 yrs + or - my own age, but that only my view:wink:

Hes of legal age, sound mind I question at moments when I hear his taste in music etc but I'd say by the legal standards he's of sound mind.

As long as there are connections on every level, it can work. Just make use that both of your agree on crucial topics and all aspects are going to be met in the relationship.

My great-grandparents were in a 'May - December' relationship. My great-grandfather was 17 years older than my great-grandmother. It worked for them.

Everyone grows at a different rate .Look at the emotional and maturity age instead of the chronilogical age.
who cares what people think because they don't do it very often lol.

It's more about mentality and common life expriences. If you're 38, divorced with kids and she's 22, never been married and no kids, there's a huge gap in life experience that can be difficult to overcome. It will likely be harder for her since she may want some of those experiences that you're done with.

Whatever the case, if you both communicate well, you'll at least know the issues you'll have to deal with.

So true ppl grow at differant rates. I've met 25yo more mature then some 40yo but this is usually due to life experiance, usualy the mature 25yo will have had a harder life then the immature 40yo

in my opinion.. age doesnt matter in the least. UNLESS for example at 25 year old man (or woman) is interested in a 16 year old boy or girl. But i think as long as both parties are consenting and of legal age, everything is good.

Age may not matter to you, however it could matter to someone else. I would not be interested in dating someone much older than me. The bigger the age gap, the more likely we'll be at different stages in life.

Sex isn't everything? What, did it fall off? I have to say young and optimistic is much more attractive than middleaged and cynical.

You can be young minded and optimistic and yet not be jumping all over each other every min. I'm 38 which is in no way old but my seuxal 'needs' have changed A LOT. I don't have the same drive I did when I was 18, heck at 18 I could have stayed in bed for days on end and thought of nothing else. Now I got work and kids. Doens't mean I don't enjoy sex alot I just don't need it 24/7 like I used to.

Everybody is different. My drive worked completely the opposite. Not much at 18, and kicked in overdrive at about 32.

But, back on topic, it does help if there are some overlaps in experiences and interests.

I prefer men who are a bit older than me (38 - 43). But, I must admit that there are some younger, mature, special men who have drawn my attention. I think it all depends on the two of you and what you are comfortable with.


Oh snap. You're too old for me. laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh

Age is only a number. (as long as they are of legal age)
It is all about maturity and common interests.
