Marrying A Woman 5 Years Older

depends on the cultural belief, this is a nigeria forum, so u already know what it do

i know lots of couples where the woman is older and looks a lot better than the man. is it just me or are nigerian men aging prematurely these days? 

Do you know that the attraction you have will be questioned by the situation around you one day, the ladies want a man that will guide and protect them not the one that will be a bag to Carry allways, do not allow your emotional feelings draw you into perpetual bondage for life.

are you trying to suggest that a lady cannot feel protected or 'guided' by a younger man? 

That is a rather immature way of thinking about issues. The ability to "guide" is not merely defined by age. You seem to imply that an older man will always be more sensible than a younger man. Look around you, you will probably find that isn't always the case. I would rather go with a "younger" man who knows what he wants, than an old cargo who is a waste of space. There is no fool like an old fool. If the ability to exercise authority, or simply boost your ego by getting hitched to younger women is what you want, then by all means. knock yourself out. Having said that, some young men unfortunately also never mature, and will thus always act like children and may never become a "man". As long as the young man is not meant to be a toy, then it may work

@ Topic,

Relationships conducted in this day and age are more or less unconventional, alot of people are breaking from stereotypes and finding happiness in previously uncharted paths. I believe age should not be an issue between two matured people. . . key word here is "matured"
