If you're both adults then age shouldn't be a huge barrier. It;s about mentality mostly.\
However if you're teenagers the age gap should not be more that 3 years. 2 years if one persons not legal yet.

nooooooooooooo i cant date a guy who is younger than me , i prefer a guy that is older and mature

and more cash isn't it

benin city hmmmm i'd love to visit there hmmmm hmmmm

i have dated 2 people older than me, one by 2 yrs n ther other fews months

Yes depending on the age,
A girl of 15 should not date a man of 20 something.
She can stick to her mates or wait till she is older.
22 and 99 is also ugly.

Yes! Age is a barrier. If a girl dates and eventually marry a guy her age,younger, or even like 1 or 2 yrs older . Than her then there will b no respect from her. Simple! D gap shud b,like me and my girl,4 yrs diff.

it's mostly in nigeria most of these things are so forbidden or frowned at,
some girl of 17 going out with a MAN of 26 telling me she's too matured for her mates , that is prostitutions !!!

Mr loverbwoy
My daughter is 17 she is very mature and responsible for her age. and very fine.
It takes a boy with a lot of self confidence to keep a fine girl like that.
I don't think many boys are impressed from girls that are smarter than them
The only reason she is still with the boy is that they were together since she was 15 he is a year older.
If she breaks up with him now it will hard her to find a boy of her age that is mature.
In the head i mean. If my kid is 17 going on 18 i would rather she is with someone that has packed out of his mothers house ore is about to do so
what dose that have to do with pro
my mum was 9 years younger than my dad , dose that make her a pro.

Age is no barrier to love, it is love me the way i am not what i am. So plz i personally could love anybody of any age older or younger
but really i love to go for ladies who re younger than i do becos they re obedient than those that re age mate or olde than you

To be honest i find all this talk of obey carp. real big crap .
I believe in respect on both sides and not a yes sir relationship.
For me who wants obey should go get a maid or slave.

same age or older

im talking with nigeria nigerians

what is a college or high school girl doing with a graduate who is working and probably wont be able to take her to his office party or functions?

when the girl is in uni and all grown then no problem but if shes in high school/college then hell yeaa,  i don't think any guy would gain anything from a 17yr girl esp when he is well in his 20s apart from the obvious

oh yea, "nigeria"

in nigeria 90% of the female are dependent on a guy, so one of the reason a 17yr wont go out with some1 younger or even close to her age is because of money!!

And why are they dependent? the parents don't give them enough pocket money or they are greedy.
The grow up in an environment that tells them look for a man that can take care of you.
By the way its the men that stop their cars to talk to the girls.
I must admit its sad how cheap some girls give themselves for the little things like cola, mars hamburgers.
I will not allow my kids to go out with a man that is hiding them you are right there.
I don't thing that any man anywere in the world can take a high school girlfriend to an office party.
Not only in Nigeria.

Ladies, pls dont fool urselves . Latter on u will b lookin at him as ur mate.U wont know this until there is an argument.But if there is gap btw u both then,ur rela tionship wil b so sweet.Any thing u do pls,think bout the future.

Is the man not my mate.
Or is a man a God or wannabe lesser god. Like we have in African traditional religion.
Like i said if a man wants a slave he can look for one but in that case don't call her wife but slave,

I dont really think i want to date a younger guy,i justdont feel comfortable with it,but i can date older guys,not more than 10years difference though.

It doesnt matter,i was 15 when i started going out and my guy was 22 then,its almost two years now and am enjoying every bit of it because the guy pampers you a lot.
