What do you think about age differences...?

Question

Such as a 19 year old female and a 29 year old male?

Answer 1

I got married when I was 21 and my husband was 31...and weve been married for 20 years. There's been a little bit of differences because of the age difference, but it's worked out despite it, I think the factors that any couple face is there no matter what age you are as far as give and take, being able to forgive and accept one another for who you are....sometimes I have more desire to go out and he doesn't but I guess all men are like that at times and I can't say it's because he's older ....

Answer 2

In today's society this is acceptable. I myself dated an 18 yr. old when I was 13. The age difference might not be such a big deal if the ages were 29 and 39. However a girl so young may not be able to handle a relationship like this. this girl may not think so now, but when she is 29 she will understand. Depending on how well this 29 year old man is doing may affect how this relationship goes. Usually a man of this age will date someone much younger if he hasn't grown up. I know some men who are this age and they still live with their parents and just have not grown up yet. But it all depends on the ability of these two partners to handle a relationship.

Answer 3

Considering a 29 year old man usually has the same mentality as a 19 year old girl then its probably ok :) Seriously, the 19 year old is an adult and able to make her own decisions. I would qustion the older mans intentions but other than that - I dont see a problem with it.

Answer 4

Truthfully, it's probably intoxicating right now, but there will problems if you marry. Ten years is not a large gap now , but as the years pass, he will not want to do the same things or as much as you want to do. Even later in life he probably won't be able to. Issues with sexual libido will come into play. He will reach the end of planning for new things before you do. And health wise you will have to be patient and love him enough to care for him when he is ill. All these things are a normal part of every day life. That said, you will always look younger than him, which is a plus for women. Of course, if it's true love, then these things won't matter and you will accept them as just part of the marriage. You might marry another, younger man and have other or even worse problems.

Answer 5

The age gap is not the problem, the problem is maturity. Why is a man of almost 30 going after a teenager anyway. 19 yr olds think they are all grown up but they have so much of life ahead of them. A 30 yr old has already experienced some of his life and would be more of a father type to the 19yr old.

I had a friend who was dating a man 15yr her senior. She told me it was like always being scolded by her father.

Answer 6

To me their is no such thing as age difference. My sister married someone ten years older than her. They are in love and still are after 20 years. He has the same mental capacity as she does. Don't worry about it, it is okay.

Answer 7

My sister was 19 when she got with her husband...I think there is something wrong (with both parties) when they are willing to attempt a relationship with such an age gap.

Answer 8

If you are 19 you will have bad expectations because you haven't really known how hard it is to see life when you're older.But if you're 29 you would actually know how hard your problems are because you know how hard it would be and would slove it the right way instead of turning the wrong way. Because the older you get you will have the choice and would probably remember what you did and know not to do that again.

Answer 9

There can be generation gap problem with them.
Also when the man will be 50 (usually the sex drive goes down), the girl would be just 40 and will have 5 - 6 years of good sex drive left. So there will be dis-balance.

At 50 he want be going in for more than twice a week. While she experiencing frequent changes in her sexual desire because hormons would be getting changed with manopose approaching.
so there can be problems.

Answer 10

This is just my personal opinion, of course, but I don't care about age at all. And I don't think that a 10 year difference is even anything to be concerned about!

My boyfriend is actually 30 years older than me, but it doesn't matter. We get along SO well, and click on so many levels. We hit our one year anniversary last month, and are planning on moving in together in a few months.

(So long as both people are of legal age.....) If it works, it works. Regardless of age.
