Yea, I do.
I dated a fella 11 years my junior. I was 36, he was 25. There are advantages to this. The sex was amazing. I was prime, and he was right with me. However, the disadvantage is the maturity level. We connected sexually, but not mentally.
And when the fella is older, the opposite applies. You connect mentally but not sexually. Its a tough call.
I have been in both scenerios. Sometimes u wish u could just take parts of one and combine it with another to make the perfect mate. Unfortunately, that doesnt happen. So, yes, I think age does matter when it comes to lengthy relationships.
As long as its within a couple years, I dont think there is a major issue, but when ur talking 10 years or more, definately gotta take good with bad.
Good luck to u.

Depending on the ages of the people. If sombody is 30 and they date someone who is 50 then they are both adults. I dont see a problem with that. If someone is 20 and dating a 50 year old.... thats just sick. At 20 you barely know who you are. You can't possibly be on the same mentality level. As for young people 20- 30 should be no more than 6 years difference. 20 and under should be no more than 2 years difference.

If one person is 15 and the other person is 20 YES age matters, If one person is 25 and the other is 45 age does not matter.. Age does not matter if both are adults....

It depends on how old the individuals are. If one is 15 and the other 20 yes it matters. If you are 30 and 40 not so much.

no age does not matter. Age is nothing but a number. When you are in a relationship how would age help you so therefore i believe it dont matter

i have dated men that were 10 years older then me and personally i dont thinkt hat age necessarily matters it is more of the maturity level. if u r more mature and act older then u r then u could date someone older then u. the only bad expierence that i have had with dating someone with an age difference is that i dated someone who was 5 years younger than me and he was VERY IMMATURE!!! he was not grown up enough to be in a relationship in general!!

Short answer: yes.
Long answer: Younger people don't have much relationship experience and any relationship they are in will in my opinion be more prone to failure. As people age and get more experience with relationships, they learn to cope with people better, learn to compromise, et cetera.
Unless you mean age difference, in which case I use a little equation.
(Older age - Younger age)/(Younger age) * 100%
This gives a percentage score. I generally consider anything 20% or below to be fine.

Depends how big the age difference is, and how far in their life the person is.
For example someone who's 16 with someone who's 30 is wrong.
While someone who's in their mid-thirties can work with someone in their early fifties.
It's not age so much as experience of life I'd go by.

In my opinion, it depends on the relationship and the current ages. My motto is As long as someone is not young enough to be my daughter or old enough to be my mother, then it is good.
