Subject: Does age matter in relationships?

Rabid

Do you think age really matters in relationships? Think a 20 year old with a 70-80. A 14 year old with an 18. What are your opinions on this? I am sort of neutral in the situation, as long as it is not to young with to old. Thoughts?

In my opinion? Has long it isn't a massive one, it's alright I suppose. Altough I do not approve of underage kids being with 18 year olds. But then again, who am I to decide? It's not like I'm an lawmaker or an politican.

The Flood Theory of Deterioration: q(p)=(qi)e^(-p/r)

Where q(p) is the quality of the thread as a function of p posts, (qi) is the inital quality of the first post, p is the amount of posts and r is the e-peen of the original poster.

Well I should probably say no. After all I am 27 and my last girlfriend was 18. So I wasn't exactly following the half your age plus 7 rule. As long as it's not illegal there's no harm.

I've hooked up with older women as well, but I haven't dated one.

I personally feel the half your age plus seven rule is a good indicator, but what matters more than the age is the social cues you are interested in. Some people have certain ones at 15, while others get them at 28, or perhaps never at all. If the two of you meet each other's needs, it is fine by me.

Would you consider 18-35 to be too big a gap?

Yes. But that's my opinion.

Ooh, man. 17 years is a looong time...

But I'd say I suppose if they both consent.

@spaboolly

As long as it is a healthy relationship between two mentally well developed consenting adults, that is their business in my opinion.

Personally, I find much older men attractive, and I don't see anything wrong with that. Whether I would actually date one would probably depend on the circumstances.

  • 12.03.2012 3:47 AM PDT

Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.

Nope.

People who disagree shouldn't put their dick where it doesn't belong. I mean nose. Yes. No. STAY OUT OF MY BUSINESS.

Kinda. I mean, the bigger the gap, the less things in common you may have, less/more experience in relationships/life, harder to fit in with each others' friends. Iunno. This is all hypothetical, I'm not one who has dated enough to say for sure where I stand.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.” – Psalms 46:1-3

So long as both parties are consenting adults.

IE 18 year old and 14 year old = illegal, immoral and just plain disturbing.


Now once said 14 year old is 18 and the 18 year old is 22, then that I consider ok, as the 14 year old is likely no longer naive or being forced through pressure of being "cool".


However, my actual personal opinion is to simply wait until marriage. I did, and I feel my marriage has been blessed because of it. My wife is 20 I am 24 btw.

If the 35 year old looked about 18 maybe...

My mom and dad are 8 years apart. I would say age doesn't matter unless it's like 10+ years then it gets a little weird. Also if it's like a 15 year old with a 21 year old.

Death to rank junkies.

So long as it isn't a massive age gap or underage, then there's no problem.

It really doesn't make any difference to me, if people are happy then that's all that really matters.
I will say that people of similar ages tend to have overall better relationships due to having similar interests, shared similar experiences, and what may apply to one age group doesn't necessarily apply to another.

A 14 year old with an 18 year old is wrong because the 18 year old is an adult.

An 18 year old with a 22 year old is fine though. They'd both even be in college.

I'm 18 and I'm dating a 27 year old

  • 12.03.2012 4:51 AM PDT

Life?
I have the internet and Doctor Who; i don't need a life.

so long as it's all legal and there's nothing obviously exploitative about it then it's fine by me.

  • 12.03.2012 4:55 AM PDT

I want her...

As long as both are adults then there's no problem

I don't know if I can agree here. An 18 year old is likely in high school with the younger party, they likely have the same electives and interact on a daily basis. While it may be illegal, it's essentially the same as a 17 year old and 18 year old.


(granted, I think a 4 year gap at that age is too much anyways.)
