My relationships went from a 7-year older than me to a 4-year & 9-year younger than what my age today. All have different levels of challenges and excitement. Can't say one is better than the rest but, i have never had an "almost same age as mine" thing. For me it doesn't matter what the age is as long as you are complimenting each other. What about you, what your point of view? Anything we can learn from your experiences? Feel free to comment!

no experience here...but personally age doesn't really matter...(except below 18)

Yes. I agree. I think compatibility is more important. Although for me i make a rule of not going out with anyone more than 10 yrs younger than me.

I am 100% agree your nice comments. Here,Age does not matter for better love relationship. Here, More need to be "take care" in one and another.

A friend told me before that if you divide your age in half plus seven years, that's minimum age anyone can get to date can get to date. Interesting isn't it?

So I'm good 2 go with 32 and up. Been wandering when someone was going to reveal this.

Well, it's never REALLY been about age. It's always been about compatibility of goals and lifestyles and tastes.

But since people change as they gain experience, and become more certainly themselves, age has always worked as a sort of quick-check, to sort away some of the more obvious bad matches.

I've found that there are basically two kinds of people who want to ignore age. There are of course the predators, who want to ignore age because they want to chase the most innocent and inexperienced people they can find, and use them for selfish entertainment. But the larger group is the ones who haven't really thought things through all that thoroughly.

I know that I can get along extremely well with anyone whose been through enough life to understand that nothing is easy or simple, and who have learned about themselves thoroughly enough that they are stable and honest. But I also realize that a thirty year old woman is unlikely to find a sixty-three year old not rich guy's life fulfilling enough to commit the dedication and work needed to make a go of things.

Basically, I do agree that age is only indirectly linked to real compatibility, but it's still true that in a larger sense, it IS a real concern.

My generation is bunch of whiney snots including me.

So definitely at least 10 years younger or older so at least one of us is sensible.

A woman in her late 30s who is anxious to have kids, may have to understand that her 25 year old bf may not be in such a hurry, regardless of how loudly her biological clock is ticking.

A twenty something year old woman or man may discover that their vibrant fiftysomething year old bf/gf may be a lot less vibrant or healthy 20 years down the road at 70 than they were in their 50s,

In other words, people have to be aware that a shift in age is often accompanied by a sharp shift in priority, and a couple needs to be onthe same page where their priorities in life are concerned.

People should be with whoever makes them happy (once its legal), but its important to have an awareness of the common age gap incompata bilities that could sabotage the longevity of a relationship (if longevity is something that both parties are hoping for.

Makes sense.

This is quite real. When i was youger like 20 until before i reach 30, i can say i love to have fun and dont care abt the world or my future whether i'll marry have kids or stay with a person i can call SO but as i reach my maturity like when i came to my thirties, i started to realize, and based on experiences that younger men or most youger men wants to have fun and ot be serious but older guys atleast the majority are thinking about their plans five years or 10 years from now. Although some prefer to still have fun. But i cant speak for women who has 60-65 yr old bf. I dunno but whenever i see one i cant seem to think of a good reason why she's dating a MUCH older guys, mostly rich guys of course. I rarely see you ger men dating a much older women. But it mightbe true for both gender i guess.

Similar to "Thigh Gap"...
if you can see your way through it...
you've got it licked.

I would do older up to a point..
as long as all parts are in working order

At this stage in my life all I can say about this age thing is that I don't want to spend what time I have left raising any adult children or taking care of any ageing grandmothers.

My age limit is 60, no
One under that age would appeal to me quite honestly x

...and I had a necklace reserved for you.

l prefer older ladies than the present younger generation of ladies. l go for the oldies cos of their experience in handling marital issues and their zeal to keep the relationship working

mmmmmmmm that assumes that older women are desperate to keep a man

Age is a huge factor in our Society as the powers that be push winning as the focal point of existence.

Winning in the west is having children young ,youth, beauty, a career lots of Money, cars etc etc . Although we all understand there is high truth in some of this it surely is not the GRAIL.

The Grail would be to lose becasue all Initiation is inverted and all spiritual mystical experiences come in thru a door known as Pain Suffering and loss. So while age is relevant if you want to Win in the West just know Winning in the West is actually not the peak of the mountain losing is . And all the Great Sages and Prophets of the world noone cares what their ages are !!!!!!

Losing is winning and that is where the tru Power is and Age isnt relevant within that context
