do you like to make friends with those who is much older than you?

One thing I don't like about the culture where I live is that young people tend not to create any bond or any sort or relationship with older people other than their family members, and lots of times I have felt uncomfortable to have a conversation with an older person. But it happened and still happens sometimes when I can find some older person with whom I can have a wonderful conversation. I have now some older friends, and I love their friendship which is very valuable for me that I am still young, I find myself often asking them advices and I always get very wise and good ones. One of them has become that important and close that I consider him like my own father. So yes even if there can be a huge age gap friendships and relationships with older people are really like gold for us young ones, a least in my opinion.

I think I haven't got any good friends, who are much older than me. However, I communicate with some older people from time to time and I find it very good. Older people have different point of view, they are not bothered with dumb and pointless things like some people of my age category. It's good to talk about the world affairs, politics, life and whatever else with older people.

hello kialele, with me, i don't have a problem making friends with people much older than me, yeah i know, there are some instances that generation gap will be there but we can always adjust with the situation...on my part, i do have friends right now who are already 60 years old, and the other one is 40+, and another on his 50's & i am just 29. so far i don't have any problem with them, they are treating me like their daughter & i am treating them like my parents. i have learned so many things from them & their life experiences, sometimes i feel like being friends with them gives me more wisdom and open my mind about the reality of life... although sometimes, we do not have the same thinking of things but still it don't hindrance the friendship...we are sharing things & learning from each other... what is important to us is that we are enjoying with each other and we are understanding each other as well...and yeah adjusting ourselves in the situation...(which i think most of the time i am the one adjusting since i am the youngest!) hehe you know, respect the elders!

i don't think a person's age would matter if you have something in common with them.kind of like a person's race,religion,age,gender or lifestyle shouldn't matter as long as they treat you with respect and kindness.i have many friends on many other sites because i treat everybody fair no matter what they are tagged with.the only people i have any problem with are rude,nasty or mean people,but then if they want to act that way nobody likes them either.i'm 15 away from having 1000 friends on another site and i haven't been on it a year yet.if you want to see some of my friends,check out my photos and you will see something that will amaze you.on other sites i post a photo album called "my friends are a bunch of animals"when people see it they laugh and say it's great because they visit kids in hospitals to bring some joy to their lives.

my friends are older than me and we didnt see any age gap problem with it as every time were together we only have fun and enjoy. if one talking the rest of us will listen and share our comments or idea. i guess i will rather befriend older than me as they are matured enough.

I have a few friends who are 20-30 years older than I am (and I'm 60), and I love it. Their stories, especially as kids, are interesting and bring back the past. I also love to talk to my guy friends, who served in WWII, and to hear their stories.

I like making friends with people of all ages. But it seems like the people I get along with the best are a few years older than me. One of my best friends is 14 years older than I am. A girl I'm becoming good friends with is 4 years older than me. I think I'm more of an old soul so I get along with others that are older than me.

I dont know many people older than me... I'm comfortable with most age groups really. Some of my work colleagues are young enough to be my grandchildren and some of the people I meet whilst doing my job are old enough to be my grandparents. I think its good when people are not restricted by any categories. Hopefully, it makes for greater understanding and tolerance between them.

Yes, I believe it does. I've always had much older friends than I. Say around 10 sometimes 20 years older. I seem to have an old soul I always said and feel more comfortable around older people.
