Are any of you in an age-gap relationship?

Pretty much that yes!

There's a part of me that sees that I'm becoming a little morally corrupt, so I feel a need to be pulled back sometimes.. My partner enjoys "dipping in" to the world I spent so long in and no longer feels so stifled by her own limits..

Of course, sexually has been the biggest issue, but religion, politics and morality in general are a great meeting place for our thoughts, and we're never disinterested in one another's views.

It took her so long to accept my old BDSM tendencies, and that was the only thing that's ever come close to coming between us.

 

An excellent example, Sultan! Your attitude is exactly what is meant by the expression, "adult juvenile." It is not your fault. You can do many things as an adult, but emotionally - when in human intimate interaction, you become a bit hysterical. Us guys have to learn to run the world at 25, but keep out of demanding relationships for a while longer. That is probably why the world's ratio on marriage is the woman is half the age of the man plus seven: 30 year old man marries a 22 year old woman, or 50/32, 40/27, etc. Biologically they had to mature faster with horny men around trying to get sex. The US divorce rate is higher because we use the age=age ratio and women get tired of baby sitting a husband and children. Harsh but true! *stands by for violent male (immature) reaction*

 

remeber how together you thought you where at 18? kinda funny now huh, well in ten years you'll look back at this time in your life, and change the subject,,

if i only knew now what i thought i knew then

 

Steffan I do that now and it's only been 4 years since I was 18 and I look at how I was back then and think: "what the hell was I thinking"?

 

Of course, and if i dont mature in ten years something is wrong. My objection was to the deflecting defense used against men by women about maturity.
Women are not more mature, just more devious. They will do or say ANYTHING to get their way. Then pout when it doesn't happen.
And as for acting hysterically? Call it my bullshit detector. The best piece of advice given to me at 20 was wake up when you see the bullshit flag being raised. To give the ladie a break here, I'll explain myself better.

Our government feeds our troughs with mile high BS. We get so used to it that we don't skip a beat. We greedily seek to be entertained so as long as the song and dance is good we go to bed carefree.

More than any other time in history men and women are equal. Yet men still function the same way, with hormones and testosterone. Women are biologically different. FACT!!!
Women have adapted to their new freedoms and men need to step up and think more, and adapt to the new competition.
Men on men competition is fierce, you wanted it, take it. But don't use a crutch if you can't hang. That's equality.

 

gowing up is about taking steps, somewhere around 8 or so you relieze you are not the center of the universe, at around 16 you begin to reileze your not that much diferent from everybody else, at 20 resposabilty begins to shake you awake.
and somewhere along the line all these lessons begin to come together and realy sink in, for men its at least 30, for woman, well, that depends on if theve had children.
cant you see a big diference between the post of 25 year woman and 25 year old men?
and compition? well if your in a competive field with twenty people it dosnt mater if there men or woman, there are still 20 people. but the most compition the majority of us face is on the freeway getting our asses home
too bad you didnt see the flag being raised against whoever gave you that advice, my mother is very very honest, and what she mainly wants is whats best for her family,

 

get used to it, i look back at last year and think the same thing

and back to topic, if this where a contest my dad would be tough to beat, he had his last kid in his 80's ,my brother nick, his wife was 30 something

 

He was 80! Well, they definintely had a big age-gap! How was he as a Dad? I mean was he energetic enough to run around with the kid and things? I'm just wondering how they worked around that if it was a problem.

 

I dont realy know, i just met nick for the first time last year, hes 22 or so.
and i hadnt seen my dad since like 81, but he was still strong then, woulda guessed him as maybe late 50's and weatherd.

 

sounds pretty positive then; sounds like your Dad was a pretty fit and healthy guy.

 

yeah good genetics, his mom and dad both lived to be over 100

 

exactly and I like it that way and I can have it that way because I'm purrrrtttyyyy and have big boobs. now will you please buy my upper management administrator ass a drink after you pull my chair out for me...thank you Juan and ps thank you for dinner it was yummy

 

That was said in jest I hope. ^ ^

 

ahh i dated a 26-year old when I was 19. well, it was more of a fling, and I guarantee you it was awful for her.

now I am dating a 16-year old, and I guarantee you it is awful for her.

but both were fun for me.

 

When I was 18 I had a gf that was 13. It was pretty weird cause I was a senior in high school, and she was a freshman. People got weirded out by it. I didn't care. As long as your happy, whats the difference.

 

i don't know about the women maturing quicker.i usually prefer women 1-2 years older than me,as they seem to know what they want better than younger ones(<18),who tend to think too much of themselves and imagine they're some sort of femme fatale.i've noticed that when you hit the right psychological buttons women of all ages revert to 12 years old mental age.
i've been called very mature for my age;i dissagree,and have my sig picture to proove it

by the way,define a mature man.

 

i`d define `mature man` as knows who he is and what he wants from life, is financially independent, and is emotionally stable enough to handle life. this is what i look for in a guy- generally only find it in guys somewhat older than myself though. i`m dating a 27 yr old; i`m 19. guys my age can be fun, but it`s going to be years before most of them grow up enough to even look at a real relationship or marriage and whatnot. i`ve always been told that i`m mature for my age; in light of this, graduating from high school was one of the best things to ever happen to me. would it have been weird for me to date someone 8 yrs my senior while in high school? you betcha. however, now being out of high school it`s not nearly so much so- and will only become progressively less so.

 

I tend to define maturity for both men and women equally. For me, it's someone who knows what they want in life, and a are content within themselves, and emotionally together enough to handle comitment and all the responsibility that brings, whether it be in romantic relationships, friendships, or work-related.

 

define maturity? wow, there in lies the flaw of verbel comunication. but gypsy girl did a fairly good job defining it.
its easier for me to define immaturity, being self centered and petty

 

Somewhat. But he's close to 40 years older. Ageism may be "bigotry" to some, but I'm sure many are not so blind as to miss some of the cruel things others say.
