I'll respond regardless.

My wife is 8 years younger than me. Others may see the gap as too large, but it works great for us. cool

Just 8?

Thought she was younger.

Oh my God, I luv this trend. You are very right my dear. My hubby is 12yrs older and I always get away with alot of things.The Sweetest of all is that he has a very wonderful structure that makes him look much more younger than his age. Being an only child to his parent he does not just treat me like a wife he treats me like his favourite kid sister and if not for our kids, alot of people think we are siblings.So for me the age gap is PERFECT.

Well said @kashamyanat, stick to what works for you. Marriage is to be enjoyed and not endured. If marrying someone younger than you or you are younger than the person or short or long age difference, what matters is; marry someone you will be happy and fulfilled with.

Some ladies do that so they can get away with certain attitudes and actions.

It is easier for a girl of 22 married to a man of 40 to cheat, than for couples of same age group to cheat on each other.

Older men generally care less about certain ill behaviours. The older men gets, the less time they have to spearhead and 'monitor' their spouses. More so, older men have high chances to forgive a cheating spouse than the younger ones.

Conduct a poll and ask ladies why they prefer older men, you'd understand that their reasons revolve around the behaviors they can get a way with. It's never about the man or how to make the man happy, it is always about them, selfish interest, and things they can freely do without anyone showing any concern, one of which is cheating, maintaining contacts with ex boyfriends of same age group, etc.

As for me, if I don't meet a lady of my age group (+/- 4 years), then I'd stay single. I don't see myself marrying an undergraduate or a lady 10-15 years younger.

Whether you marry a lady of the same age group or marry a lady who is far younger than you, whoever will indulge promiscuity will always indulge in it. There are lot of ladies out there who marry their age group yet they get involved in cheating etc. Don't judge it from a 'made up mind' perspective. Every marriages has one shortcoming or the other.
Bottom line is to stick to what works for you.

More opinions on this matter guys.
How well do you think it will work for you marrying a lady 10-12 younger than you or marrying a man 10-12 older than you?
Re: Ladies, Would You Date/marry A Guy; 10 Years Older Than You? (photo) by placeofallure(f): 4:56am On Oct 05, 2016
My husband is 12 years older and like some people opined on this thread, I get away with a lot of things. In fact he Pampers me, I actually think he over indulges me at times. He looks younger probably because he is slim and tall, no pot bellies, and I look older maybe because I am chubby. Nobody would see that 12 year gap, and even if they did see it, I just like it!

@ OP, trivial things like this do not determine the success or otherwise of a marriage or relationship. So it's still down to Whatever rocks your boat!

Women age faster than Men..10years is okay if he respects my opinion and doesn't look at me as a child considering the age difference.

I came across the pics and wanna hear opinions of our Naija ladies.
This is becoming a trend nowadays even in marriage. Can you date or marry a guy as old as 10-12 years older than you?
Over to you ladies...
yes I can,as a matter of fact...I love it,he would be more matured with me and I will still be attractive to him no matter what.

There is nothing wrong with it oo, my mum is 15 years younger than my dad and she is even late now, while my dad is still doing very fine. that's irony of life.
