Wow!! The truth is most ladies like being younger to their partner which I'm inclusive.
I can't date a guy I'm 1 day older than him so i do understand how she feels.

As long as the guy will respect her there shouldn't be a problem bt I'm doubting because most Nigerian horseband always want to feel superior nd authoritative.
Aunty, you are back! angry

by their monikers and comments, we shall know them. grincheesy

by the way, what happened to your former account?

I understand the awkwardness in this sha, as I have had a similar experience. In my case, the babe was even 3 years older.

Truth is, many guys would not mind dating/marrying older girls if not that many ladies don't know how to control their toungues in the heat of an argument.

Imagine having a little fight with your babe and she goes like, "I never knew you could be this childish" "stop acting immature" etc. How would you as a guy feel.

Ladies have this nasty habit of using the weakness/disadvantage of their partners against them when things go south. And even if they don't do it intentionally, they will still hurt you because whenever they are angry with their partners, they always talk before they think.

So except the babe is constantly loyal, down to earth, sensible and respectful, there are going to be issues.
You got the drill homie cool


Funny thing is this age of a thing is only peculiar to Nigeria. All cos of all you just statedembarassed

A friend of mine just opened up to me about her relationship. She said when she met her man, she assumed she was younger than him because he looked so big and more mature than her and he also acts mature than her.

One day, they were discussing their age and she found out she was older, so she had to lie about her age. The relationship went on and the love grew stronger, then a day came, she asked him if he can marry a lady older than him, he said 'never' she asked what if it's just one year? He still said ' never'. Then she asked him that what if he later found out that his girlfriend is older, what would he do? He said he would end the relationship.

She said she couldn't bear it any longer and so she opened up to him about her age. That she's a year older than him. She wants him to know before it's too late. After opening up to him, she was expecting him to end the relationship but he didn't. He's still coming for her, he still loves her and wants to marry her. But she's withdrawing from the relationship because of what the guy said earlier.

Please advise her. I will show her your comments
She shouldn't withdraw from the relationship. Meanwhile, are you a pretty lady? cheesy

Who cares? I'm just not the type to halt a hot lady due to age. And remember it takes a lot of good vibes to get an older lady to submit to a younger man.
That's why I said 90 Days Fiancé TV show needs you!!!

At least it will help more of our men who are desperate for the American Green Card to learn how to treat all those oyibo grandmama dem well well...

When I went for door knocking, my Girl’s dad asked my age and when I told him, he said that his daughter is older than me. Man walked me out of his house. Never been that embarrassed my entire life.

We still got married and yea she’s older than I am but she’s just an angel! Seven years on, were still glowing together! Age shouldn’t hinder true love.

Lol. She's a myopic one.

There are lots of succesful couples out there with huge age difference; female being older.

Tell her to check up on Megan Markle, Brigitte Macron, Shakira, etc who cared not about age.
I am reading to see if I can find an African or Nigerian name but I could.

I see nothing wrong in it...

I once dated a lady that seniors me with 11years before, though i thought it was just like 2-3 years...but,we still love ourselves after the revelation...if not the issue of distance relationship...god knows we would have got married.

Erelu Bisi Fayemi, Ekiti State Governor's wife seniors the Governor for 2years...and they are living well with good understanding.

My girlfriend is 7 years older than I am. She's aware, I am aware and it's been one lovely ride.
She respects me as a man and as her partner. I won't change a dint about any of that.


Absolutely nothing wrong with being with a man you're older than, except it makes you uncomfortable. If it does, be very sure about what you want; if it's love or age.

The guy never meant it. The reason is that the guy thought the girl wanted to hear a never reply from her question. He thought that that will make the girl happy. He may be thinking that the girl is suspecting him with a girl older than him. So to prevent a quarel, he gave her the affirmative answer.

She shouldn't have done so,I don't tink age should be something that will create a problem in a relationship....my advice for her is that to continue with the relationship.
Re: She's One Year Older Than Her Man. Should She Be Worried? by yumu: 8:57am On Jun 14, 2020
If she has not let out her age, it would have been better, but since the info is known now, both of them need to look into each others eyes and agree on what to do. If they love themselves they need to agree to remove their age and move on, but if not it's better they split because the devil could use it to cause trouble in future. Thanks

Hmmm well If you marry a lady older than you, you won't feel the impact now by the time she get to 85 and 99 that is when you would know if you have made the right decision or not. Love is not blind but your emotions and moreso your feelings that ain't thinking straight at the time due to her beauty, character and those things you can never resist from a woman

Re: She's One Year Older Than Her Man. Should She Be Worried? by emperooooooooor: 9:31am On Jun 14, 2020
Age is just numbers and it has nothing to do with anybody's level of maturity. The experience you have been able to gather regardless of your age plays a large role in the quantum of maturity residing in you. The only place age comes into play is when we are talking about consent. Provided both of you check that box, I don't think it should be an issue. Statistics have even shown that older women tend to be more suitable partners becaus they already know what they want and have gone through all the transition stages save for menopause as the case may be.
My point is this, your peace of mind what matters the most. If she gives u that then you are good to go.

One thing I knw about ladies is that 97% pretends, once u no longer give them what dey want they tend to show their true character or colours.

I sometimes put my ladies to test, consciously and unconsciously, once I knw ur true intentions I either quite if I like you or play along just to pass time.

Uh, to be honest, one of them has a dotting mother (his mum's only child) and o guess she wasn't cool with the age gap plus you know how mums can be when they've got just one child.
The other one needed to fins himself.

If it is me, I will withdraw gradually... I don't like when people aren't open from the onset in a relationship... It is a clear case of insecurity on her.


Be open to me, as I will be open to u chikina... Starting with lies puts a knife slowly on the trust.

And for me, I can't even marry a lady am 2yrs older than not to talk of age mate.

8-9yrs gap is Ideal for me.[/quote]What ever your heart desires do it, but as for me, I CAN NOT AND WILL NEVER MARRY ANY LADY OR WOMAN OLDER THAN ME
