Sure ƚ know it is a deal, But my question is : should it be so?

Ideally, it shouldn't be. But several women would get jittery of their own accord when they get past a certain age. Either they start feeling less attractive or older. Moreover, there is another class of women who specialize in making life unbearable for their unmarried counterparts past a certain age. In all, in their own group, there is enough wrangling going on to warrant a check. Women are simply their own worst enemies!

It shouldn't be a big deal. No one's age should be a big deal as it's hypocritical. When couples with great age gaps have unsuccessful relationships, hindsight bias is in full force. "He's too young for her. I knew they wouldn't last". That's never the case with couples with "convenient" or "correct" age gaps. The "age" card is played when it's convenient. Simple.

I, personally, believe that their is little correlation between age and maturity/personality once adulthood is reached anyway.

No. A person is as old as he or she feels.

Age should is an issue but should not be an obstacle in any relationship. Firstly in the long run it is assumed that women age faster than men, and in old age the need for the man to be taken care off by his wife can make a guy marry a much younger lady. It doesn't really matter but it should be considered as it affects the individuals involved, MERRY XMAS

I guess you were coming right from her profile page. That explains it! She wouldn't cos of your innate biases which naturally predispose you to a specific, known type of judgmental action. undecided

Women age faster but outlive men. So, unless one wants a younger looking wife, that argument is void.

It is a personal thing some thing it does some think it does not. It's an individual case
Re: Should A Lady's Age Be A Big Deal? by claremont(m): 11:13pm On Dec 25, 2011
Age is mind over matter, if you don't mind, it really doesn't matter!

Having said that, I had a brief fling with an older Nigerian girl once upon a time. I woke up one morning while she was still asleep by my side, and I was shocked to see grey hairs already protruding by the sides of her head. I don't mind going out with a well-toned and fit older lady, BUT I stay well away from grey-haired flabby and deceitful mamas who lie about their age in order to hoodwink the innocent public.
