Re: culture by Ben13: 9:29am On Nov 20, 2008

Re: culture by snazzy82(m): 9:49am On Nov 20, 2008
naturally, love is a function of oneself.love can be a decision considered individually so forget about wat p/p will say

Re: culture by smooooooth: 10:11am On Nov 20, 2008
men are affected by age, whether we admit it or not

they will only marry an older woman when there ia an underlying cause

could be beauty, wealth, success,

so unless u got one of these then i suggest you just have fun and dnt look

forward to marriage, cos as for love he can find that with any younger lady

when he is ready for marriage, then the age factor will come to mind

expecially when u dont have any of the underlying cause that can close his eyes to the age difference.

love knows no boundries, forget about people say people no say

what has society got to do with "YOUR" relationship?
its only a years diff by the way so it is not even relevant. . . even if it was as long as u both hav no issues with it ( him esp as men tend to get insecure when their woman is older), then u've got no problems. stop bringing other pple into a relationship that is between just u 2
Re: culture by chika98: 8:39pm On Nov 20, 2008
If you like him then go ahead. But i won't date someone who I'm older than. No way jose!
Re: culture by v3: 8:58pm On Nov 20, 2008
See, my girlfriends already a mother of 4 as she's in her late 30's and i'm in my early 20's, she's not what i'd call super-rich, we have our differences, but we still resolve the issues amicably, I don't have a problem dating older ladies, I just feel its stupid when a lady says she can't date younger guys,

@ those ladies, when u clock 30, would u STILL marry a man who can't EVEN get u to cloud 9?, Stupid SISTAZ!!!, God, y'all could be REALLY offensive wit yer st8mnts sometimes,

@ Topic.

I don't see anything wrong with it. . . . so far you too understands yourself and are ready to face the future . . .then just do what makes you feel happy. I have seen many immature elderly men and so many matured young guys.

My best relationship so far was with a woman 6 years older than me. . . so I dont think it bad undecided
Re: culture by A40(m): 10:45pm On Nov 20, 2008
Maturity is what matters i would date an older woman without even batting an eye-lid

@poster of topic
A year is insignificant if you really like this guy you might as well ditch her if he is a second younger than you my sister age is nothing but a number.Society would accept you guys the age difference is too minimal to even cause a problem

I am sorry if this thread has been done before but i looked and couldnt find anything.
sooo my dear sisters and brothers on Nairaland,  give me your honest and sincere opinions.
I am a 22yr old who is currently involved with a 21 year old. i know it's unspoken of in our culture for a woman to date a younger guy, i guess we just have a cultural perception that everything is wrong with it.
this boy is very mattured, i mean my ex was 27 and he(21) treats me way better than my ex he used to. he just gets me, he makes me sooooo veryyy happy grin. but yeah,  all the mushiness aside,  i don't think the society will accept us,  i don't even think his parents or mine would go along with it.
he dosnt care very much about the age diffrence but i do,  i would love to c a future with us but i think it will be impossible embarassed.
so what should i do?
Age is nothing but a number. I've seen 30-year olds act like 13-year olds.
I know what you mean and I agree with the fact that it may look a tad outta place. Just make sure you respect him the way he respects you. Don't ever mention the age thing, in his presence or absence to try and hurt him in anger. Society will accept you. It's not like it has a strong force like love.
Re: culture by DarkRxn(f): 12:40am On Nov 21, 2008
Age is nothing but a number, but I still say no

So if he is all you ever wanted and you found out he is just a year or two younger than you you would throw it all away?
