A male friend of mine shared his experience with me of meeting a lady he was ready to marry as a wife only if the lady just agrees and say "YES"! But the problem is that the lady woundnt agree and her excuse was that she's older than the guy. Age wise,though she said she loved the guy but cux of the age difference, she can't go on with him!
So guys do you see it as ideal settling with a lady older than you are? An for the ladies,can you marry a guy that's younger than you,age wise?
Your contributions may just help someone out of that dillema u know ! Ur views pls

Yea.... Same way prison is a room and marijuana is grass.


@OP. I can't.

@ Poster,u failed to indicate the age range difference btwn them.Anyways,a guy could marry a lady older than he is, as long as they both truly love themselves,but it becomes an issue of concern when the age difference is glaringly obvious,cos it may be discouraging respect from the lady sometimes,but if the age gap is'nt that noticeable & they are really down with each other,just go ahead & tie the knot.

3 yrs diff!

Nigeria and Africa as a whole not yet ready for this shiit.. Society will laugh at you to your face

i wont oh but i guess opinion differs

I still dey view this thread in 14D

Age is a BIG issue. It is a number, agreed. But it is the same number that will rear it's ugly head when disagreement springs up.

In Naija, a husband must provide most of the leadership in the home. Also, we ascribe respect or at least some measure of deference to our elders. In this light, you will agree that there is a conflict. Should the man defer to his wife because he is younger or should she submit in all things and respect him even though she is older?

I suspect that even if she decides to marry the young man, she might seek to hide the age factor from her folks. I also believe that the husband certainly would not want to suffer innuendoes (stemming from the age difference) from his wife's friends.

An egoistic African man or woman should avoid such unions.

Let's b realistic..... Guys its not good 4 a guy 2 marry some1 who is older dan him..... I may sound old-school but,its d truth..1stly no matter how humble she may look 2day ,she may change especially wen she has given birth to children for u and probably she earns more dan u do and u know as guy u wun't allow a bitch to rule ur home na.... U know our ego, and dis will always cause problem in d house....!!!!

I guess the age factor is of immense importance when it comes to marriage.

I guess the age factor is of immense importance when it comes to marriage. Not everyone wanna settle down with a partner whose age difference doesn't suit them.

There's nothing wrong abt the age..since they love each other,..but as 4 me i cnt marry the woman that is older than me ...

Okay you just joined Nairaland and that's fine. But for goodness' sake typing on Nairaland is not like texting your boyfriend to wish him "hapi nu month". What kind of garbage did you type up there? Did you go to school at all? Do you know how to string together a few legible words? Are you just a kid who is not over the acquisition of her new phone just yet? Get your acts together, my friend and stop typing like a clueless nincompoop.

And one last thing: stop that sh.itty pouting too! Damn!
