Does age matter?

[amcdee]

Hi guys and girls,

I don't post very often so please forgive in the intrusion. I was talking to a friend last night, who as just started a relationship with a much younger person. Now this got me thinking, does age really matter in a relationship? I've never dated anyone more than 5 yrs older / younger than myself?

What's your maximum age difference?

Some say the minimum permissable age is half your age + 7. So I'm 30 this summer giving a minimum permissable age of 22

I was 19 she was 38, she taught me a few tricks!!

half my age + 7 - that means I could date anyone from the age of 3 to 37

IMHO age doesn't matter, it's the person you fall in love with.

I had my first girlfriend aged 22, and she was 30 at the time. We went out for five years. I'd say that in priniciple no, age doesn't matter - though it does have it's practical drawbacks. We met eye to eye on a lot of things, but the age gap became apparent with a lot of other things.

I'm 32 several mates my age are dating 21 year olds. Nothing wrong with that IMO.

And? Good, bad? Indifferent?

I had several girlfriends who were 15-20 years older than me - its all good stuff So long as you are both happy, age doesnt matter at all.

Ok corrected that typo -

[timmy30]

I also have several mates who 'specialise' in the forties divorcee market. They point to various reasons, that might be imagined but I shan't go into.

[RobM77]

I'm 28 (29 in four weeks), and my oldest friend is 25..

I just find that I get on better with people younger than me - everyone's different. The important thing to realise is that maturity is not a singular variable - there are lots of aspects to maturity. My first girlfriend said that she loved parts of my character for their maturity, but found other aspects of my personality great because of my youth. It was a curious mix of aspects of our character that meant me aged 22 got on with her aged 30, when all my friends at the time were 18/19. My point is that age generally means very little!

[Mr_C]

I've never been out with anyone older than myself and always only 2 or 3 years younger.

I am 22, currently seeing a 19 year old

apparantly (so I've been told) women in their early 30's are quite good...
