I'm 6.5 yrs older than my man, is the age gap too much? it seems everybody accepts it if the man is older, but when the woman is older she is subject to comments and digs!
we are in our twenties, he doesnt appear to be that immature to me but i have seen him with his mates and he is different!
i know its each to their own but does anyone have any opinions or more importantly experience in age gap relationships and whether they work?

Well if it's ok with you and your man, then who's to say it isn't. My wife and I are separated by 11 years and she's the older one. I am 30 and she's 41. We met when I was 24 and she was 35. We fit together perfectly. In my opinion we are just like my parents, having fun, finishing each others thoughts and sentences. Age is only a problem if you think it is. I look forward to spending every day with her. So, if you like your man and he likes you then I say go for it. And good luck. ;-)

so you're saying you're 27 and he's 20? When a guy that young "seems" mature he is faking it just to be with you so you could "teach" him or do the deed. I heard a man (especially a young man) thinks of sex every 3 minutes. And if it's closer to 20 then he hasn't had a chance to start his career yet. I know from experience that a 10 year difference doesn't work because it pulls two different generations, two different ways of thinking, together. And it's not so bad if people around you would be nice about this type of situation, but instead they become mean and either one of you would give up on a situation like this in the future. If you are the older then you'd be expected to be the pimpess (so to speak) in the guys' minds and be the lead to pop the question and pay for your own ring and buy them the clothes if you want them to keep up with you and your career. Is that what you really want? I've done the age gap thing twice and would not do it again. Although it's a thrill for both the girl and guy, It's too much of a drain on the woman's career and pocketbook.

6 years was the average age difference between me and the people I dated when I was in my 20s. I've always had a preference for older men. I would say that the majority of my friends are significantly older than I am. So I say if both of you are comfortable with the age difference, it's not a problem.

I am 20 and have dated a guy 2 years younger, 1 year younger and now a guy who is a little older. I find younger guys more fun and you know what I dont care what people think. Age is just a number with love. Have fun and good luck with the relationship and ignore rude comments.

I don't think it's a problem. If you love each other, and are good to each other, who cares what anyone else has to say. You're both adults and you should be able to figure this one out.
I was with an older guy for 7 years. (he was 9 years older)
It didn't work out for us, but I don't think it was the age thing. He was just exceptionally mean spirited.

To tell the truth it is known in psychology that girls get matured before guys of the same age .. specially in teenagers and early twenties .. but if u feel he is ok .. then just pray until u feel total satisfaction inside ur heart iether to go on with this relationship or to stop it

I have an ex that is 6 years younger than me and it didn't work out. He as immature and extremely lazy. My husband is 8 years older than me and we get along just ducky. I don't think age matters, I think it depends on the man and the relationship.

No problem at all! Good for both of you if you have got each other... not everyone is as lucky to say so...
And not everyone thinks it is ok the other way... I am 7 years older than my 22 year old fiancee and i still get child-snatcher jokes made sometimes.

If the relationship works for the two of you, then what does it matter if some small minded people have a problem? You go with how you feel hon, it's your life.
