There's something wrong with that.

Hmmmm

hmm, its okay.. but when its too much, its not. for example 26 and 57.. now that is a big NO, no matter the gender! there will be tension in the relationship, and you might not get to enjoy it. its advisable to start a relationship with someone in the same condition with u, but sometimes loves makes us do otherwise, which is still OK ....that's if its really true love o!

No

I think I've answered similar questions before...Age can be a barrier mainly because of the mentality in this part of the world where its usually believed that the male counterpart must be older than the female counterpart. Age is not really a big deal in the western world and many countries in asia but since this is africa, u just have to play by the so called rules to avoid being seen as taboo or something.

Guy 32 N girl 22 itz okay

Even ma broda tell me about a family. d man(doctor) was 45
And his wife was 23

Na wetin u need fp 4 be dis

22/32.....hmmm

Personally I wouldnt do it because it's a tad dicy.. You know how you're supposed to be free with your girl,and she's also supposed to be free with you... you tease and joke and diss and "play fully insult " each other....There may be times where she would tease about something and I may end up taking it as a direct insult all because I don't see something like that coming from someone I'm a decade older than... I'm a liberal person to a large extent.. but there may be times when I may be annoyed by her playfully tinged show of disrespect... Infact I was talking to a female friend who's "only" three years older than I am...we were having a kinda argument and I said "What's wrong with you"...You wouldn't belive that she took it as an INSULT . I know this may not really apply to this situation, but it still reflects the base line of misconstrued disrespect between an older and a younger person.

So I think it's just better to avoid such wide age-gap relationships

There's also the issue of immaturity.

For sure maturity is never always a function of age but this varies from person to person, some girls don't get mentally and psychologically mature till 25 or even 27,while some get matured are early as even 17...So it varies.

More so at 22,what are her priorities, her goals ,her dreams,do they fit into yours in the larger scheme of things.

Ultimately though for me,...I wouldn't date a girl I'm 10 years older than...both for her own good and mine.

there is absolutely nothing wrong in it. The man only needs to be more patient with her due to her age and relationship with other guys of her age bracket, which may be abit annoying and irritating to d man sometimes but PATIENCE is the key. On the part of the lady, she needs to mature and understand faster...if she is rily ready for the marriage. The man needs to guide her, and she should be willing to follow his guidance. But in all, her love needs to be stronger, cos that is what will likely see them thru...if his own love is stronger, ther will b problem. for the man, dont be too hard on her, else she will feel u ar stiffling her nd depriving her freedom. so, guide nd advice her then free her...when eva u think she is abt to go astray, call her to order. but once she knws nd understands u better, she will not go astray...atleast not delibrately. be open, kind nd generous to her...garnish dat with great loving, encourage her to speak her mind nd be open to u without u been too offended.
Goodluck!

Nothing at all.

Nothing wrong once there is love...........

there's nothing wrong with that. But the older must learn to adapt because the understanding of a 32yr old and 22yr old can not be matched. so you will have to learn to see things from her age perspective and sometimes areas of interest varies

True talk!!!

Depends on the people in d relationship...

nothing really wrong except the ladies keep shifting the goal post
a girl of 18-19 will tell a boy of the same age she's too matured for him and can only date dudes in their twenties....10 years later same girl will tell you age is just a number
Women; eating their cakes and having them since 1900..lol
