Age Matters

I'm a 31 year old female and I have always been much more interested in older men. Some people prefer blondes, some people prefer brunettes, I prefer much older men... I can't really explain why, it's just me. The last man I was with, everyone said it wouldn't last due to the huge age difference and figured it was just a phase- once we got to know each other better that it would be over. That was not the case at all. We were together for almost 9 years. I still love him, he still loves me, and we still talk on the phone at least 4 times a week and even have dinner together every now and then. As for the age difference- I'm 31, he's 61.

i have a friend who is elder than her bf... she tries to ajust as to his age since his still young... sometimes she got jealous with his friend... its hard having a relationship younger with that of your age... but i guess if you love the person no matter how big the problem is you can still solve it...

i don't think anyone can seriously answer this question until and unless they have been there..been in love..that too with some older or younger to them.. but then again i guess most relationships would work nicely if there's trust(not blind trust..mind it)..and love...cuz if a relationship had to go wrong it could go wrong with people of same age group and most other relations where derz a significant gap would work much better,....like mabbe that of dilip kumar and saira banu..but in the same breath a relationshp would have its many ups and downs becuase of the difference in the level of thinking of the persons involved..younger people tend to be more restless and impulsive whereas an elder one may be more patient....but then this difference may also balance out the elatinship perfectly...

It depends on how you feel about it. In most cases when two people get together, age should not be a factor, it is usually what is inside that counts. Inside being personality and how they react with one another. Sometimes age can be a factor if the person looks a lot older than you and looks more like your mother/father, then it's not a good thing. Otherwise if you care about this person and you have no problem with their age then go for it. However, if they are much younger, then you should probably stay away.

actually, if you really love a person it doesn't matter if she/he is younger or older than you.. but for me,, i prefer a person who is 2 years older than me cause i think he is mature enough to handle a relationship..

as a student, for me, age really matters. but when u are in the real world, we dont look at age as a factor of loving. we look at the compatability. we look at what we like. it really depends on what we really look for in a relationship. do we give much points to the age or not? if we love, we see nothing but the person and her whole self.

As long as it's not an extreme difference in age I'd say it wouldn't matter that much.
