HI! GUYS,    Hope you had a great week because i definitely did. Anyway my question is, should age be a big issue in a relationship. I would like your opinion. Can you marry someone younger than you as a lady?  And as a guy can you marry or date an older woman? What do you think the ideal age difference should be between you and your date or spouse and why? My CommentsAs for me, i can't date a younger guy and my ideal age difference should be 4 to 6 years. This is because i feel i am a mature person and most guys my age do not think maturely, so i would prefer to date an older guy that would be able to reason on my level. Cheers. |

Actually i don't date younger men, because like you said, the whole maturity issue has a big role in the dating play. However i do know of younger men who are matured and older men who are immature. For those who find the right partner, age does not come into play for them. What works for them works for them.
Ps, thanks i had a lovely week

Age is nothing but numbers is what i've found out. if you care about somebody a lot of the things you say you wouldn't do just become unimportant. I have also found out that it doesn't matter to most guys if you are older or not. So, i think i can go out with a younger man if the age difference is not much |

God made us simple and we have made ourselves complicated, God odained marriage without age but love, anyway compactibility goes a long way in succesful date and not age, i think is psychological that you wouldnt allow the younger guy to be in charge simply because his younger, it doesnt really matter if the young guy has got matured mind, wish u luck though with older guys

I don't know how old you are when you talk about age, but if you are teens, then no problem but when you become 20 and 30 something, i tell ya, age would not be an issue then because, you are most likely to meet a guy that is 25 and he acts more mature than a guy that is 35 and it goes both ways, so it all really depends on individuals. And what age group you are talking about. Another thing being that when you find true love, and i mean true love, that is when age becomes nothing but a number.

I guess i understand you but you never can tell, Love comes in a package you can't predict or even understand
So just Love, but then it shouldn't be a sugar daddy type of love

it all depends on individuals involved,but for me i don't really care about the age difference as long as he is not above 15yrs my senior n what i really care about is the maturity of his mind.

My girlfriend used to think she can't date a younger person
until she fell in love with me
I am 26 she's 29. I started courting her at d age of 25 then she was 28.
I am the man. thats what is most important.
I don't treat her like she's older. Mind you, if she does not tell
anyone she's older nobody will know

Age is not love, what u need is love & understanding. if u're older than your man don't say u wont have a better home, it just depends u both level of understaning & how u can let the feel as a man not as a boy that is going wit his mother. to let u know is not a new thing for a guy marrying a lady older than him. am a guy that is not ready for age but for love.

This i have noticed is only an issue when someone of a young tender age is concerned. The older you get the more irrelevant it b'coms unless again someone of younger age is concerned. Personally i would date, but wouldn't consider marrying any lady that was 5yrs plus older than me, unless,  |

Lets face the reality here, AGE is no1234567890, ,there r some younger guys that have what it takes to date a lady older than them! they have nice look, they r wise in their choice of word, they r intelligent, romantic etc, in short they can deliver, they even look very mature. If paradventure a lady is not aware of his age thinking he is older and they go into marriage, will the lady opt for divorce after knowing the truth? There r some guys that lie about their age n so on, But so far the gap is not too wide to be noticed, n she is in love, y not, let her go ahead! But as an AFRICAN LADY, personally, I WONT. Thats my own idea anyway! Its personal, av never thought of dating younger guys. But there is nothing wrong with a lady dating a younger guy. The world is changing n we av to change to avoid being an "OLD SCHOOL". My mistake, I thought it was Younger! But the question said OLDER MEN, There is nothing wrong dating an older man, so far the age gap is between 4-10 years, personally, I will date or marry him. With the above qualities included sha! |

All the girls that made comments about this issues are idiots. they don't know what love really means. What is AGE when LOVE is playing it's role? Well i can't blame you all When all you know about is money and nothing else. Bastards I'm sorry for my words but i am so upset. Nigerian Girls sucks!!!, everyone of them!!!, No conscience what they are after is a guy who has money, not thinking of how they will make it on their own. This Topic is the more reason why the western worlds are growing faster. Please give your brains out for thorough washing if you will be enlightened more. Age means nothing. there are so many young guys out there who are more experienced than the Old ones. Peace out.

i dnt think dating a girl that's a bit older than,once she possesses all the characteristics i need from the under-age,and once she's humble and I let her know that she's a bit older than me,the choice is hers,but as for me,age doesnt mean but it's not like in d case whereby i am 20 and she's 25-i mean 21 is ok-anything above that,forget it.
