to each his/her own...
Being age-mates with your partner or not doesnt determine the success of the relationship.just do what suits you!

it is wrong. a man must be older than his woman so that the woman will respect and submit to him smiley wink cheesy

Nothing wrong with it as long as both of you respect each other. To me, age doesn't really make a woman respect a man, a disrespectful woman would still show her true colours to an "aged" husband, its just a matter of time

Its not so wonderful dating ur age mate.

Reasons:

1) You might not get the respect you need as the man in the house cry (though there are exceptions where you marry a very humble and modest girl)
2) Women are known to age faster thus on the long run she will end up looking like your mother lipsrsealed (though there are exceptions where a women even looks younger when she ages)
3) You might be out-witted in the house. It has been proven scientifically that girls are wiser than their fellow guys within the same age bracket (though there are some girls who are not that wise; but who'd love to date those. . . lol)

I could go on! But despite the fact that its advisable for a guy to date a gal who he seniors by at least 3-5 years, it cannot be generalised for all relationships. Thus the best thing to do is to critically anlayse the girl you intend having a relationship with and see if you two are compatible.

Regards

It's the best especially if you are at comparable level of intelligence.
Re: Is It Good To Date Your Age Mate? by Nobody: 4:37pm On May 28, 2012
I left a nice r/ship cos she was a month older. For me, i cant stand it as a man, due to innumerable reasons. She's gonna age faster, respect, etc..lots I can date someone older but i cant marry someone older. Thats for me. To each man, his taste.

sayin it is wrong cos of respect is an archaic way of thinking imho...my bro is a year younger than his wife
and both are doing just fine...mind u, both are very happy and enormously successful...
Ppl should stop worryin themselves at these types of things...just make sure u have similar values,
enjoy each others company, and u r happy. Except age is extremely important to you, its no biggie
U'ld b surprised dat just as some men want women who totally look up to them...some men want very
strong personalities cos it gives them some kind of emotional security.
Not all men want lily eyed extremely young angels lookin up to them

Where are the pedophiles? grin grin grin
I don't see anything wrong with it if that person is right for you in every way.
Re: Is It Good To Date Your Age Mate? by Pennywise(m): 4:50pm On May 28, 2012
OP,

are you talking mental or chronological age because they dont always coincide. Having said that you seem to be unduly age conscious in your present relationship and for that reason, it may not work. Let her go now rather than cause her unnecessary heartache later since you are obviously insecure with her.
Re: Is It Good To Date Your Age Mate? by Mcfemad(m): 4:54pm On May 28, 2012
Haba! Why not? Yes you can!
My lady and I are of the same year, she's months older and she is the very best I've ever seen.
In anyways, it depends on the lady sha!

There's nuffin wrong in dat but it nw depends on d ladies xter. Am presently in a serious rel with my age mate, am even 2mnths older than him but d rel has been wonderful cos we've been best of friends for over 10yrs b4 dating and we respect each other. So it depends on aw u 2 see urselves
Re: Is It Good To Date Your Age Mate? by Dtwoabbey(m): 5:02pm On May 28, 2012
At times, there is nothing bad in it once a wife is from a good family with a good home training who is ready to be submissive to her husband totally. All you need to know is to study the lady very well while in courtship. Even at times, when ur wife is more than you in age, you can still have a peaceful home once the Lord is your shepherd. So to my own point of view, nothing bad in having ur age mate as ur spouse.
