Is age an Issue when it comes to Attraction?

Question

What do you think...when you like someone do you care how old thay are? what if thay fit your quailfication on what you like then how would you feel? take into consideration the society veiws on the age range. Do you Feel its right If your attracted to that person.

Answer 1

I really dont. (this is because I'm 28, not 15)
I dated someone when I was 26 and he was 39. We got along great.
I am 28 and recently dated someone who would be 38.
I dont care what society thinks now that I'm an established adult.
I think when someone is very young it needs to be a well thought out and calculated decision.

Answer 2

Attraction is neither right nor wrong: it just IS.
There are many examples of people with huge age differences being attracted to each other. My current boyfriend of 10 months is 9 years younger than I am, and we get along fine.
My mother, age 82, has a platonic relationship with a man age 54. They get along fine, too. In their case, sexual attraction doesn't come into play, but a heart-felt love is definitely present.
Age-compatibility can play a role when children are desired, and if one partner is much older than the other, there is the thought of the younger one having to endure the death of the older.
But, you can really screw up your life by worrying too much. I'd say: if you feel attraction and it is mutual, go for it!

Answer 3

I'm married but I notice I find men in their 50's pretty sexy. My husband says it's because I'm getting old. Then I remind him he's almost 45....heeheehee

Actually, a 33 yr old man asked me if he could date my 18 yr old daughter. I freaked and told him not to even look at her again. So I guess I do have a problem with that kind of an age gap. They're from 2 entirely different stages in life. She needs to be a teenager, dating and hanging out with friends. I'd find it troubling to know a 33 yr old man was hanging around a group of 18-20 year olds.

Other than that...age doesn't matter...LOL

Answer 4

It depends if a 16 is in love with a 45 year old then that is wrong but not like a 25 year old liking 40 years old.

Answer 5

Over 18 all is fair in love and war. I dated a man 12 years older than me when I had just turned 18, and married a man almost a year younger. Love or attraction is what it is. You cannot pick who your chemicals are attracted to.

Answer 6

While most people's romantic attachment ages along with them, there are some number of men who are addicted to the pornography they look at, and can only envision themselves with a late teen or early 20's female.
For the gracefully aging wife of such an aging man, it's downright unfair.

Answer 7

HELL NO, it is not right under any circumstances. Think about it, I know we are all humans, but you can train and shape an animal to be what you want them to be, this I believe can be done to a younger woman with an older man and visa versa. It's not right, anyone who does it deserves to be in jail. Have you ever watched To Catch A Predator? that show explains all, unless you are as ignorant as those guys are.

Good Luck

Answer 8

if the party's involved are at least 21 and older than it is not an issue, I have been dating a girl who is 22 and i am 36 and we could not be happier..... age is just a number as you get older, just enjoy each other, and hope for the best

Answer 9

Provided both parties are free & attracted to each other, no issue should stop a friendship. Go for if that is what you both want. Are you both old enough to know what your are doing.

Answer 10

As long as both are over 18 then nope age doesn't matter
