I mean in terms of marriages with big age gaps. You see I am a 20 yr old girl and love a man who is 22 years older than me. The age difference does NOT matter to me because I love him and his wonderful personality. He is the ONLY man I feel this way about. I want to marry him. But, I have an aversion to people staring, talking (about the big age gap), etc.
To me the above quote is quite relevant. Age does NOT matter, unless you are cheese or wine.

I agree with the quote... And that you are only as young/old as you feel. Go for it and Love him with all your heart. You aren't doing anything wrong! The only reason anyone would stare is if you were looking guilty of something... Who cares .....if you both are happy anyway!

I don't necessarily think age matters. Nor do I think that age is a mentality. To be young at heart when you are 50 is worth a lot. To be too serious when you are 20 and be thinking about retirement and the golden years of your future partner, might not be healthy. Of course society today has placed enough pressure on youth today, so that if you are not at the pinnacle of your career at age 25-27, you are though of as a loser by the jet-set. But this is a small fraction of the successful population that actually achieves this. If it really was more common, maybe the federal interest rates wouldn't have to be lowered in order to help floundering credit. I don't think that one can really put a number / limit on an age which under that is "immature" and over that is now an acceptable adult level (within reason, I mean a man who is 35 and has the mannerisms of a 12 year old boy, that may be obviously "immature") but staying young at heart, I don't see what is wrong with that. You only live once, and you have to do what makes you happy. I think in time things sort themselves out. A long term relationship is always going to have periods of reevaluation. So this wouldn't be any different.

Im with a man who is alot older than me, i love him with all my heart and i am not ashamed to tell people we are a couple and that i love him. We get on great and dont hide away from our feelings in public. The age gap doesnt bother me at all. Its my life and the only thing that counts is that me and my boyfriend is happy together

I am 37 and never dated anybody older then 26! If you can make it work maturity wise then the rest of lifes lil problems can be solved like normal... Age dont matter! Question is..... can you deal with a man thats more mature and life experienced then you?

ok so age doesnt matter but really is he gonna go to the jt concert with you and then hit up the club till three only so he can go out with your girls and there guys at 8am so you can make it to the airport in time for spring break flight to negril
ok so this may not be you but what do you really have in common
and is it enough to talk about for the next 40 years
until your talking about changing his diapers
p.s my girl friend is 5 years older than me and it doesnt bother me but we have many things in common and keep on finding this out as the days go

Under 25 is a mentality, not an age group! I am 60, my men are always 10-15 yrs younger..I am the one who always ends it. why that is, I don't know. maybe i'll post a question on here

hey...ages does matter! it's natural for young ladies to be attracted & look upon matured men and you may be happy together now, but let's think of another 20 years down the road, you are still in your prime wheras he is already in his golden years. while now you may be growing up at his expenses, by then are you willingly to forgo your own life to care and look after him?

If he is 22 years older then you he must be the cheese all moldy and you must be the wine because wine gets better when it ages longer, cheese you'll have to through it out because it gets to moldy
