I think once people reach a certain level of maturity, age shouldn't matter, so long as they love each other.
I heard that European men like older women because they are more experienced. Not ALL, but I think most younger women are immature & can't appreciate older men. They are mostly gold-diggers & have little experience about what a REAL relationship is all about.

What is a REAL relationship to someone,
isn't a REAL relationship to someone else.-

We're all adults once we're over 18! If you fancy each other and get on well, why not! Go for it! To hell with the judgementals! It shouldn't be a big deal anyway. So flippin' what I say! And if it doesn't last, that can happen in any relationship, age gap or no age gap, so be happy and be cool! cheering cool

You just hit the nail in the head.
Sometimes the signs that mariage is doomed to failure,are there
from the start.
People recognise the signs,though is hard for them to
acknowledge them and hide them under the carpet,
expecting, those signs will disappeared with a magic wand.

i have given you a credit to your answer. Relationship is based on faithfulness, honest, respect, love, trust but not on age gap. So long as they are happy in there marriage.

Age does ultimately matter, depending on how young or old the partners are. When young, there is a huge difference in maturity of an 18 year old, and a 25-30 year old. Relationships with large age gaps usually don't last. It seems relationships even of the same age range in the young don't seem to last these days either.

Similarly, life styles and desires change when there are greater than 10 years between partners in their 60's. This is when one partner begins to slow down and not want to do things like they did when they were younger, while their partner still has "get up and go" and begins to be torn and frustrated that their partner can't do what they used to do a few years back.

It is the age range that makes the difference. 0-10 years often doesn't make that much difference, but age differences greater than 10 years do tend to make relationships more difficult than they may be with a more similar aged partner.

This has been my observation.

Cheers.

I selected no since age does not matter only if you describe a couple of reasons. Say, a very mature 20 years old can date and marry a 50 years old if the 20 years old grew up quickly for good reasons. Maybe parents passing, or one dying of cancer, or already there act older and wiser.

The other is that When we are over 18, we all are adults and it does not matter.

However, for some, like myself, it does matter when one has desire to have children even when he is much older so he would fundamentally be "forced" to look for younger woman who can bear children with him.

Money should NEVER be the issue however, class status MAY be important. A very dirt poor homeless woman marrying a wealthy-to-do business empire owner is a no-no because homeless woman in this example I am explaining has no social experience. Remember the movie Pretty Woman or a couple of Michael J. Fox movies in the 1980's that he struggled his way up the ladder from the bottom or the movie with Frank Whaley and Jennifer Connelly? I know they all are movies but you get the idea. There is no way in this example both would get married. That wealthy gentleman will end up marrying a wealthy model or a Miss. America instead. You will need to understand class is an issue so money IS an issue after all.

But this subject is about age. That is the whole point here. All depends.

One thing to answer that question that was so genetic, you can not really answer it until explains more.

I would answer no because it would say including underage of 18.

One thing though, you can not be 18 and marrying a dying man laying in hospice today who will die this weekend. That is another reason.

So, therefore, the answer is all depends on situation.

That is why I am seeking for younger, not older and will older women stop looking at my profile lately!!?? Thank you!!

Help you do what?

Are you building a shed and need another pair of hands?

Or having trouble with your waterworks?

Baking cakes isn't my forte, but I'm sure there are others who could help you.

You need to be more specific in your requirements.

Short answer
NO - compatibility shared interests and Love for one another are far more important factors.

Furthermore, any age gap, no matter how wide, between two adults above the legal age of consent is within their civil and human rights and to be together, so it is nobody else's business anytime, and especially in public - No argument.

There are some on CS who need to study the laws of Libel & slander and take note.

Q. What's the Difference between Libel & Slander?
A. In general terms Libel is defamation in a permanent form whereas Slander is defamation in a non-permanent form.

Most commonly, Libel tends to be written broadcast or published online, and Slander tends to be the spoken word.
In both of my professions prior to retirement and as a self Employed tradesman working on confidential projects I was required by law to be aware of and know the differences.

As we seem to hold the same views and needs, regardless of our ages nothing we have written in our profiles concerning our needs is illegal.

In simple Legalese - If offensive language and insults are issued and written specifically by anyone to A.N.Other even using a nom de plume both can be construed as libellous and the laws of libel still apply even on the internet.
