venorite: My sis is currently married to someone she is older than with some days and they love and respect each other.am currently falling for someone that is few months older than me and I intend marrying her all things being equal. Matters most in relationship is understanding,love and care.you are going to live with her in ur house and not with people.

Destiny27: I decided to post this in family section because I know there are a lot of people with mature minds and experiences especially married folks.

I recently came across an old schoolmate in primary school whom I had a crush on then. I was such a good boy then so wasn't into all that. Few months ago, we started communicating. She is in another state working. Since then we have gotten so close.

She came down to the town I stay enroute her village and we spent a few days together. We realised we are in love with each other. When she left, I felt an emptiness and she too has been missing me.

I'm in my early 30's and ready for marriage. I will love to marry her but my only problem is that she is my age mate.

Please, is there any problem in getting married to your age mate?

Some people feel its not right because
1) She may not be loyal and submissive
2) By the time she drops two kids, she will look quite older than me

I haven't told her anything about marriage. Would want to clear some grounds first and then take some months to know her more before letting my intentions known fully well.

Please, what do you feel about this? I need mature advice on this. I'm at crossroads now and will appreciate your input.

Thanks

tunnex190: My brother, I dont know how this may sound. But if you both truly love each other, I'd advise you go ahead and marry her. Afterall, I am planning to settle with someone who's about a year older than I do.

I dont give a damn to what people may say.

bist:
I think the problem iz wit u love, u shud ask ur self, what is it with your poo.sea that attracts only idiats!. Cos its a known fact that flies are only attracted to dirts n sh.it....no hard feelings.

duni04:
Enjoy it while it lasts. When you enter 40 and or 45 and you're stuck with a 50yr old woman in the house, you'll remember this thread wella

Ennyhollar: There is noting bad on it, but wat is there is that u should not let her now ur really age, So she can give more respect to ur siblings.

ehibia:

.....My best friends wife is 4 years older than him and u can never tell (Even after she has dropped 4)

Vallotti: As a female. . . I HAVE NEVER MET ANY MALE MY AGE MATE THAT IS AS A DEVELOPMENTAL/COGNITIVE EQUAL.
They tend to act 10 or 20 YEARS IN THE DEFICIENCY column emotionally and spirtually-speaking. To put it directly. . . THEY ACT LIKE IJJJIOTS!

As I get older. . . THE GAP WIDENS. . . .
Sooooooooooooooooo I would have to say NO!
It would not work for me. I NEED A 10 YEAR GAP!!!! So, I CAN HAVE SOME TIME AND PATIENCE WITH HIS AZZZZZZZZZZZE THAT REFUSES TO GROW UP!!!

I need a man. . . not a boy!

SHE WILL OUTGROW YOU IN ABOUT 5 YEARS. . . .AND LOOK LIKE YOUR MOTHER IF SHE AGES LIKE MOST NIGERIAN OR NAIRALAND WOMEN!!!!

Age does not usually correlate with maturity. . . BUT IN MY DEALINGS WITH NIGERIAN MAN. . . .

THE BIGGER THE SHOE SIZE. . . THE SMALLER THE BRAIN!

OP. . . goodluck!

gee4gloria: My dear,age is just a number. Maturity is d word. If ur agemate is mature and she loves and respects u, why not. As 4 her looking older dan u later,I don't think so cos wen u give a woman quality love,she looks younger.

Eidos_ky: No NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!! U NEED TO SEE MY MOM.... SHE IS 7YRS YOUNGER BUT SHE LOOKS LIKE MY DADS GRANNY........

claremont: @OP: Scientific research (widely published online) has proven beyond reasonable doubt that there is a dramatic decline in female fertility after she has attained the age of 27 and onwards. A woman is at her most fertile period between the age of 19 and 26; her chances of conceiving drops to 50% when she reaches 27 years of age, and drops even further for every year she adds on. In addition, the chances of infertility increases for a female from the age of 27.

The bottom line is that males should strive to marry younger females (i.e. females below 27 years of age) in order to maximize their chances of having children. Avoid old cargoes!
