Are any of you in an age-gap relationship?

uhm weren't you talking in the women's forum about how you had a boyfriend?

 

Well I have no idea who the guy is, , but back on the maturity topic for a sec: I really don't think maturity has all that much to o with age, so in response to the poster who asked whether or not an older guy could be attracted to a younger girl only for her body, I say, sure, it's possible, but that seems to ad to the stereotype that younger women / men aren't mature enough to be respected intelectually by their older partner, and that's a pretty wide generalisation to make. As I said, age doesn't encessarily have anything to do with maturity, or not that much, at any rate. So there are 19 year-olds who are very inteligent, and some that aren't, same as there are 40 year-olds who aren't all that mature, and some that are, all depends on the individuals concerned, I reckon.

 

Sorry guys, meant that rhetorically. Didn't mean to divert from the forum.

 

When I was 17 I was dating a guy who was 32

 

Yeah Im 16 and was in a realtionship with a 25 year old,like everone says age is nly a number,never mind what other people say

 

What people also forget is the missing link between age and maturity. It is Life Experience. You earn it. And it usually takes awhile for many. Age is a measuring stick but it does take time. Before you know it the years creep up.

I think people are too quick to assume age has nothing to do with maturity. We think we know, we'd like to think we're mature.. and good god, most of the people I've heard say they thought of themselves as mature, are anything but.

 

Age means nothing-Love-Respect and Honesty mean everything!
As long as your BOTH happy it really doesn't matter anyway.
But prepare yourself for people who will judge you both on your relationship.
Most of the ones who will Judge you just wish they could be you and it's their repressed crap that they will throw at you both.
Just love one another and enjoy the relationship.

 

I don't think age really matters. It is how mature your conscious and awareness is and (personally for me) what your religious beliefs are and whether or not I can accept them. If I can find a guy who has matured his consciousness and awareness about life and love and self and anything.. and spirituality,<-----on the same level I am on, then I'm happy. Very happy.
