For Guys, when u marry a girl younger the chances of the marriage working is 50%/50%, but when u marry ur agemate then the chances of it working is 20%/80% with chances of failure been 80%.

yes its good, been a very mature couple sure they can cope.
Re: Can U Marry U Age Mate? by pollock(m): 10:18am On Sep 16, 2008
I think there is more meat to the topic, anybody can marry anybody, but the true hidden question is " will the marriage work?", alot of folks have highlighted some factors, especially in our nigerian culture,  just to add some

1. Respect. this is very important in our Nigerian culture, (i have seen alot of Nigerian marriages that have failed due to this especially in the U.S)
2. Level of reasoning,
3. Level of exposure
4. Women want men they can look up to
5. Physical apearance( i hate to say this, but unfortunately its true), no woman wants to look older than her husband)

from my personal experience and experiences of people i know. i hope this helps,
word of advice dont get into a relationship with ur agemate and waste years before u realise that it will lead nowhere. nip in the bud! Good luck!!!

How


okay , look when u marry someone younger than you, there are so many things she or he  wont understand becos of he/her low sense and maturity.

it can work for me . but i think men love it more than women to marry someone very young like 5-6 yrs younger. . . . easy to control them like Arrow

@dyabman

Not always true, check these two scenerios

Man(38), Woman(33)
Man(43), Woman(23)

i think the second scenerio will fit into ur steroetype, , most likely not the first one won't.

Re: Can U Marry U Age Mate? by pollock(m): 10:52am On Sep 16, 2008
Men have Egos, which is very normal or expected, but it becomes negative when u are with someone ur age or older

Typical scenerio( Example)

when u have a younger girl, and u guys get into an arguement, and she says something that is quite insulting, u will most likely overlook it cos u would say "Na small pickin dey worry am". u will easily forgive her, and she will love u more cos, u understand that she is young and immature.

but when the girl is ur agemate or older in same situation, u will feel more insulted cos of our "Male Ego", and it will be difficult for u to deal with, then she will think " u are acting immature", and she knows if u were older, u will overlook it.women know these things, its very normal.

its very natural and normal , even God himself curse woman that she will always be under the man no matter how rich or terrifying she is .

So a normal Lady and a responsible one that follows the rules and regulation of marriage, will always love to be under the man , no matter how stupid he is. . .

i'm exhausted i need to get something

it depends on sevaral factors,
but if i'm satisfied,yes i can marry my agemate.

@geolabious

what i mean is "most" guys will think " Na because we be agemate, thats why she dey talk to me anyhow, , if i had a younger girl she will not dare talk to me that way"
but in fairness to the lady she is just reacting just the same way some other girl will, but most commonly guys tend to interpret it different cos of the ego.

Yes, I can.

If she was even older, and we were compatible, got along and loved each other, yes.
I a relationship, there are a lot of things I think of, age isn't one of them.
