Ladies: Would You Date A Man Younger Than You?

@ coolblue

My dear friend,  Money,maturity and age are not utter crap when it comes to marriage.They may seem like utter crap if all you want is a fling but when it comes to the day-to-day issues of marriage,these are real issues.Bro,wake up from your slumber and face reality.These issues matter in life.

your age won't be a secret forever and why should you keep your age a secret from your lady if it doesn't matter 

Spoken like twenty three wise men! I totally concur with you!
Really? How so?

@ fl
Fl, i am in no wise saying money is not important.what i said in "not rich" as an excuse not to like or go out with someone. I do not deny the need for money in any relationship, what i deny is the need for it to be in excess for it to work. And yes, my age wont be a secret  4ever,but by the time she finds out, it wont be an issue.
When you love someone, its not just one part of them you love its the entire persona, going on about age is not necessarily a good enough reason to destroy what could be a good thing. A friend of mine would say " your flaws don't make you imperfect, they make you human"
so is being a tad bit younger now an imperfection?
as far as im concerned and i state it again " if you like someone older than you, go for it, find out if you can love them." after all is not everybody elses life you are living
Society can @%#$ themselves 4 all i care.

  but she said they can be pleasing........still not sure how though

The only condition l would date a guy younger than me is if all the men in the world are dead but it ain't possible so the answer still remains No. What the hell, me date a young guy, say wetin happen,  when no bi say guys scarce for town, even if the guy was the most handsome guy in my class or in town, hell no, it ain't happening my side, na abomination for Naija. lol

Are u sure of what u are saying, well l know it is a rare thing but most families prefer a lady to marry a guy older than her. its kind of of a taboo in my side of town sha.

Well it may well be a taboo from where you come from but trust me it is a sweet taboo.  So what exactly will happen if a woman married a younger man??? I am sure there are historical reasons for what you are saying which probably centres around the financial/economical status of the man as well as the oppression of women but come on we are in 2006 and women have had enough of  we just want a bit more of 

Ofcourse men do it all the time why not women.

hey this is a great topic
if i were a lady i would love to date a younger man
i really will, but i'm not a lady

No younger guys won't make me feel woman enough, but I'll go for it when I'about 40 years old and need a boy to make me feel young again.
Just like most older man do these days.

wish i cld say age aint nothing but a number but ,,,,,,,,,,,,,   but it is actually the number of biological years u've been on earth, so i guess it matters. Am about 8 months older than my man and am okay with that because he is so much a man. Coupled with the fact that he is much bigger than i am. But i doubt if i'd be okay with a guy who am 2 or 3 years older than . Even if he were larger than i am. It just wont work for moi.

I personally don't see why a 28 - 30 yr old girl should be dating a guy 7 years younger than she is. Isnt she thinking of getting married   just wondering

@ Bumsy,,,, just out of curiosity, just how much younger is this guy?


@Lioness - 8 or 9 months difference is really nothing. Even if it crosses into the next year.

am actually 2years and 7months older. so that is like three years. is anything wrong with that. 

@eddy tells, Am okay with a guy am a year older than. Especially if he is bigg and matured enough. But i just wont date a guy am 2 or more years older than. Just wont work for moi. 

Fact of life is that as a girl matures in age, her priorities slows down.
To a  31 - 33 yr old chick who aint getting any marriage proposal yet, age difference would be like the least on her "He must be" list

  Good point
