the OP has a point, for women, they have biological clocks and it runs faster.. If u look at the situation in Nigeria, many 27 yr olds are still hustling, how do u expect them to marry their age mate @ dat time. The girl will bounce herself. So i think marriage has to do with your resources not age. if a 20 yr old that has enuff money to start a family he can marry his agemate, but a 30 yr old man still looking for a job can never afford to marry his age mate except d girl is ready to wait (but hw many 30yr old women can wait eh?)

Aside looks sef one of the main reasons why you cant marry your mate is "finance". These ladies are desperate to marry after school when their boys mate are starting their hustle. So they marry a man who is already settled and older than you and when you too settle you go after your juniors and chance their boy's mate.
This is the best comment here!! Finance will always be ahead of age when looking at criteria for marriage.

I actually agree that ladies should marry way older guys, though for a different reason.
Older guys are more mature, marrying your age mate, there's high likelihood for mismanaged misunderstandings.
A mature guy would handle all issues maturely.

so a guy his wife's age is not mature? How comes men younger than some ladies are the ones rulling the world, running most of the multi national coorperations we know?

you are damn right, age doesn't matter and I despise seeing old men seeking for underaged girls to marry, age doesn't make a marriage last.

Most people despise old men seeking underaged girls, not only you.

It is called paedophilia, when the girl they seek has not come of age, and it is a crime in most countries.

Success in your profession doesn't equate to success at home. The most successful business men aren't the best husbands.

It's often the opposite, quite frankly, as you cannot serve two masters, you focus on one at the expense of the other (but that's an entirely different topic).

Life is a journey, the longer you're on the road, the better equipped you are at maneuvering potholes and other hurdles on the way.

Older men have this experience.

There is wisdom in your words and I agree with that....but in this case, the OP is more concerned with physical looks and attributes of the lady as the couple age.

One shouldn't get married because of beauty...cz when it fades, what is left?

It's the simple truth.
Einstein once said, the only source of knowledge is experience.
The Bible further buttressed it by saying " "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things."

The older you are the more experiences you've experienced.

While I agree that we have some immature adults, the percentage is slim compared to the generality of adults.
Hope you are clear now..
I admire the way you express things smiley

I have dated ladies in the 3 different categories; same age as me, older than me, and also younger than me...and what really amazes me about it all was that the one that showed much love, respect and understanding was the lady younger than me...and she displays maturity beyond her age.

This debunks the saying; "the older you are, the more experienced you are, and the more mature you are".
This applies both ways...for the man and the woman

Although, this is no way trying to generalize ladies and their different ages in comparison to mine, but what I look forward to is a happy home in marriage.

For me, I get attracted to her personality/character...and her age is whatever it is.

We pray to God...not just to find a wife, but to find our wife

going by the logic in the "life is a journey" part of your post, it also means that older women are better wives. A lady close to you in age will handle the marriage better. And i think it supports the point that a guy made her: that marrying a lady 10 years younger than you, will be like teaching a child how to talk.

For me, a lady 2 years younger than me is a no no.

Since women naturally age faster than men, its not advisable for a guy to marry a girl his age or within his age range. Guys need to marry girls they are far older than with at least 10 years, so that when she's aging everything will still be balanced. You can still be enjoying her breast, and also admiring her full waist line for a long time to come. Compare to when you marry a girl that's only 3 or 5 years younger than you. Before you know it, she'll start looking older than you apart from adding weight anyhow after giving kids. So, let there a space of like 10 years between you and the girl you want to marry, just like fathers used to do it in the past.
On the contrary,I get attracted to my age mates more than the younger ones especially those more than 5 years younger than I am.

And since when does maturity do with age only...i mean ive seen men in dia late 30's and early 40's behave immature and handle marraige in silly ways and youn men of 24 does it better even than most..

I think It bores down to the individual.
