Age gaps in dating is age just a number? (31)

What is the accepted age for age gaps in dating ,marriage, friends, lovers, please be detailed, what your all thinking

I don't think it really matters, especially here in California.

For me personally I think it dies matter mainly mainly when it comes to mental/ physical activities and conversations.. Usually I only date men with it 5 years range, I feel much younger men are not grown mentally and physically they are more active, and too much older men might remind me of my Dad, and same thing: conversation and activities might not be comparable... But I also will say that there is always exceptions on every rule... :-)

Depends on where he's from. Foreign men are usually more mature than American men.

personally age shouldn't be a criteria for knowing or meeting someone. According to experience you tend to loose a lot if you only want to meet people depending on their age. Just saying

there isn't one; everyone at different ages have different levels of maturity.

I've dated women from different countries and in my country (the u.s.) most young women seem much less mature than in other countries such as Russia or Spain.

I was just told by one 23 year old that I rejected that looks is mostly what matters in a relationship. If that were true I'd be married by now. Looks is just a small part of attraction and is the reason so many cheat on young hot women when their wives or girlfriends start to age.

It's not just a number. The maturity level of each person is different. One 25 year old may be insecure, immature and selfish while another one is the opposite. Obviously the latter would be ok to date, but the former wouldn't.

For my own experience, yes it is just a number, I have dated men older than me that do not seem to know what they want and they are so selfish. However I have dated men at least 15 years younger than me and they are absolutely way more mature with their head on their shoulders. I have just had one problem I am to concern about what people would think of me and so I have not actually married any of them, but perhaps I will and forget about what every body has to say. I am sure he will make me very happy!!!

Age is a word,not a number you idiot.
