do you put an age on love???????????

Question

do you?

Answer 1

In a really romantic "love conquers all" sense, there is not an age limit. But let's face it. There has to be a practical side to love, as well.

I know just as well that I will never be happy with the 65 year old man that keeps asking me out. He has arthritis, can't hike the 25 mile trails that I like to hike, and can't even remember the movies that he has asked me to see!! In 10 years he will 75 years old, and I will be 55. I will still be hiking, and running, and doing yoga. I don't want to be pushing a wheel chair down the trail when I go!!

He is very sweet and kind, and I like him fine. But there is a practical side to everything. I do not want to pursue a relationship with someone whom I know is not a good match for me. I really don't want to break his bones when I throw him on the bed for the first time, either!

That's when the "romantic" side of love has to take a back seat to the practical side. So yes. There should be a consideration of age on love, (as well as whether two people are too young, also.)

Answer 2

it all depends on what the age range is...

if you're comparing 24 - 80, then yes there's a big problem

15 - 25: there'a a huge difference in maturities, personal experiences, and emotional processes

25 - 35: the gap isn't so huge, but it's still there and it's significant.
there's bound to be a little condesentionfrom the elder because they've lived longer and they know more and have more experience

35 - 45: the gap is much smaller and life settles into stability and routine. nothing much changes form day to day... maybe from year to year... with marriages, divorce, mortgages, ect... but maturity levels are closer to eye level and experience is comparable.

45 - 55: no gap, perfectly compatable. very similar levels of experience, maturity, and understanding... kids going to college, loafing & leeching, facing retirement, taking care of elderly parents, blah, blah......

from this point on, the ages will see a higher success rate, but at the lower ages the success rate is very low. i conrtibute that to the immaturity, instability, and frankly, the ignorance of the ages. they want what they want, when they want it. no patience, no considderation for who gets hurt in the process. instant gratification rules all. that includes the heart the mind and the groin. as we grow, we learn patience. we learn to slow down and calm down. we learn to think before we act and speak. we learn to choose words more wisely based on the consequences of being stupid.

as we age we develope and tune a sense of consequence that is so often missing in us when we're young.

people want to look at the extreme cases like anna nicole, when those cases just aren't applicable to the status quo. we just cannot compare our everyday lives to the "lifestyles of the rich and famous". those cases are, in reality, very rare, and not very successful.

Answer 3

Love have no age lines or boundaries, it will and can happen to any one, regardless of age. But we must also keep in mind that the laws of our land do have boundaries. Rather you are a older woman and he's a youger man or vise versa. One must be age appropiate to be with some one if thats the case, because of the law. I am a older woman and I am in love with a younger guy. I am talking 14 years younger, but he is age approiate, because he's a grown man, Out side of this is padaphilla. Love is ageless but Lust can get any one into trouble.

Answer 4

Yes. 14-19. After all the hell you realized love turns into who can give you a secure stable environment.

You might find love with someone who's wealth and moral matches yours... only if it's a match game with wealthy families.

Lust last for six months then it back to the same ole game finding that special someone to make your life unbearable by taking on their life and leaving yours behind, think about it!!

older ppl do not care about age past 60. they're just glad that someone will be there for companionship and to pick up the left over skins

Answer 5

Only when it comes to teens. A fifteen year old doesn't have the same relationship experience as someone in their late 20's and 30's to know that love is more than just infatuation or having some things in common. It takes time to realize what it truly means to be in love.

Answer 6

Certainly not, but in everything one has to use a lot of common sense. You think it is cool when you are 18 -20yrs and married to a man 40 to 45 yrs but what I realize most people do not think of when they get into relationships of this sort is "what happens 40 yrs down the line?" Sex plays a vital part of any meaningful intimate relationship which is very often the reason for these types of relationships. What I have noticed is that later on down the line, the man tends to get jealous while the woman remains starved for sex her peak ages...what happens thereafter is left to anyones imagination.. Don't fool yourselves. Piece of advice, don't get into a relationship for material things or lust do it for LOVE! peace....

Answer 7

I don't thank so if you to are in love what does it matter about the age are you talking 10 years differances

Answer 8

You could fall in love at any age, but if you what you mean by put age on love is, if your older you couldn't fall in love with some younger your answer is yes I do. I find myself meeting men much younger than me and i don't take them seriously I much rather fall in love with some one my age or older.

Answer 9

Absolutely not! I'm 26 and my husbands 56. He's such a child at heart he encourages me to be more of a kid and in return I encourage him to be more of an adult :) . We deal with challenges that are a little different than most couples my age like children but in return we live our life more because we know our years together will be limited.

Answer 10

One of my co-worker's mother just got married again at the wonderful age of 78....we're never too old for love.
