Since your friend already sees it as a problem, then it is a problem. I doubt he's in love cos if he truly is, he wouldn't care about the age difference.

....and to those who think by marrying a younger woman, she'd respect me. . . . una never sabi.

Seun:
It may not be a problem for many other guys, but it is obviously very important to him, so I don't think the marriage will work. Every time she does something that seems disrespectful to him, he will think it's because of her age. Marriage is "forever", so don't settle for "less"

Thank you. In addition, there will be moments of disagreement when she will insult him about her being older, being a boy and matured than him. She will also tell her close friends about your age. Its not worth it.

Its not adviceable...buh if d guy tinks he can cope...n d woman submissive fine n gud...4 me...i dnt nid any1 reminding me my age...

UjSizzle:

Lol both actually

wow na em be say you go fit use 500 naira cook beta soup wey go last us 1 month.,lol.

you seem to have a knack for drawing attention to less obvious details, you remember the kingsway stores photograph?

ignis:
Ideally, the guy should be about 5 years older than the lady. If the lady is older than the guy, the guy will risk always being asked if her wife is her aunt after 2 or 3 delivery.

Note : When you compare male and female of same age, the female always look older ( especially without makeup).

Nt all d tym sis...if u take kia of ur wife well even after kids it won't tell on her.Except dats hw her body is n who kias if d wife is older, its no1s business.If he wants her 2ys shudnt b an issue.

Yes....
As a MAN , please NEVER u allow d LADY u may want to marry ,have a FORMIDABLE advantage over ...
Because she will never 4GET it when the need arises...

She will always nag at u , reminding u of it...especially when the ROUGH DAYS set in ,in your family...

ALWAYS
..clear the ground to make sure , u have done the BEST...and allow GOD do his...
GOD CREATED ADAM before creating EVE.

A BROKEN relationship is always BETTER than a broken MARRIAGE..
LOVE doesn't put food on the table.
LOVE has expiry and rejuvenation dates, it depends on the condition of the man (wealthy/capable or poor/bed-ridden).

What a stupid mentality and crazy stereotype

i was in this situation once. upon discovering the age gap, i ran. Looking at it now, i realise it does not matter. in fact, sometimes it is better. you are more likely to get the understanding required to be successful in marriage from a more matured girl. But, alot depends on you. You just have to be matured.

Thanks, Bro...

Age is nothing

In my opinion age matters many families will nt tell u wat they r goin tru wen u say hi 2 dem a woman is a complex being wit emotional flaws n our era nw n d era of our older pple r nt d same u cld successfully get a nice lady who wld respect u even though she is older bt dis days hmmm ladies r jst afta d benjamins n nairas n livin a confortable life d high class dine with high class its only in few cases dat u wld see a decent gal dat wld start wit u 4rm d scratch so lookin at it d woman wld want dominance in d family n wen u cnt withstand its a problem n at d end d children suffers d outburst so pls its gud u do tins d right way white man n black man r 2 diff pple wit diff cultures beliefs traditions n all so dnt compare if u r a christain n u read ur bible u will see dat d man is always older pshchologically if u marry an older woman she will always look at u as a small boy she will nt tell u in some cases she will maybe durin a fight so age matters

Dear Nairalanders, u know i always run to u guys when gbese dey. Pls help advise a friend who is in urgent need of it. I have dis friend who is in love with his girl, I tink dey both love each oda soo much especially the girl. But the problem now b say he found out dat the girl is 2yrs older Dan him. nd judgin from wia he is comin from I tink dia mite b wahala if he decides to let his pipol knw abt it. His question now is, should he go ahead marrying her? Does age really matter? Nd d funny tin is dat dis my guy has always being a strong critic of the above topic. He has always believed dat guys should be older Dan dia ladies. Now d tin don dey happen to am.. (Lol) pls guys wots ur take on dis, cos an introduction suppose happen dis December. Ur advise is urgently needed weda good or bad. Uncle seun pls help push dis topic. It's urgent!!!

Love and not age, sentiments and culture should be the foundation for any friendships or marriage.Age does not matter.

I read.

I dont think it really matters since #Love# wch is the most important thng is involved. If letting his pple knw bout deir age diff will b an issue, den il suggest ds suld b a secret btw him nd d lady. Abeg dey suld go on if all odr things are settled
