Here I go again................
I agree age does matter and it is a question of maturity, having gone out with a guy 10 and a bit years younger than me.
Lads I'm afraid age and life expereince and being reflective in your life, IS what gives all of us maturity. In my expereince men don't want to go there!
Not all men, but a fair share of you...............
Minx!

men who should know better for their age

NOBLONDEHERE: DOES AGE REALLY MATTER
Not really , I voted “I WOULD DATE A WOMAN 10-20 YRS OLDER I AM OVER 25” I would think twice about dating some one younger than me (5 or 6 years) but it’s not the age of the person that would decide it for me , it where there head is at that is the deal breaker , so actually no it doesn’t matter at all , although I find my self attracted to older women it is ultimately about the individual person.

Although I think that in some cases the fact that women mature faster than men doesn't apply - in general terms it does. Not by a huge amount but by a few years. 5 - 6 years either side might, might be ok. Definitely would work for a guy to date a girl a few years younger.
But a relationship with a woman 10 - 20 years older??? Has as much chance as a snowball in hell of surviving.

I'm sorry but I have to call bs on that one , I can think of 3 local couples that took a 10-20 year difference until death did them part (in two cases the younger went first) all of which were extreamy happy and devoted to each other .

Well maybe it works in some cases but in general terms maturity is a major factor in a relationship.
Yea, some people are more mature than others but maturity develops from experiencing and living life so nobody is that much more mature than their actual age.
I don't claim to be mature. In fact I'd say in some ways I'm quite immature and that's the way I like to keep it. However, I've been married. I raise a child. I've lived abroad. I hold down a job with enormous responsibility. I still would not consider myself mature though.... certainly not enough to be in a workable relationship with a woman 10 to 20 years older than me.

Nah man. There's more to a successful relationship than love.

Love is Love, Age we do measure. Emotional maturity can be measured, IQ can be measured, Experience can be gauged, Empathy, Sincerity, loyalty and the other qualities that we love in a person are all things that tend to change as we age, some gaining, some becoming bitter and disillusioned.
I remember reading about a Swedish Poetess whose name escapes me now who fell deeply, madly and passionately in Love in her 70's with a Man more than two decades her junior.

That’s you every one is an individual
JohnnyT: Nah man. There's more to a successful relationship than love..
Love and reciprocated love is all you need , if that’s there every thing else can be worked out , life’s to short to worry about the little things

Well I'm not saying it could never work for someone. Obviously it does in certain extreme cases. I am saying it's highly unliklely.

That's not just me. It's everyone. As one of the more mature ladies said earlier maturity comes from experiences and I've had my fair share of those. More than most guys around my age.
Stop trying to grow up too fast

Realism - Not Pessimism!
Ok. How about people post how many cases they have heard where it works?
For myself - I've only ever seen it on TV. I have never known or heard about any guy in a relationship with a woman more than 10 years older.

I am aware of numerous instances. But I am involved in the arts, where perhaps the people I know are a bit freer thinking with regard to a lot of these kind of issues....
I have had two long term relationships, one with a man that I married who was 6 years younger and one in later life with someone 14 years younger. If I am honest, I was not mature enough for the latter, lost him because of this.

Well I've said most of what I can say about it. I'll give you one example though.
One of my mates sister is 20 and she goes out with a guy 15 years older than her. Apparently they get on great (according to her) and she is much more "mature" than her age that she prefers to be in a relationship with someone that much older than her.
My interpretation of this is that she has got serious issues!!
Her boyfriend has never met any of us. Never met her family. And every time he's supposed to go to something that we're all at, he conveniently "cancels".
My interpretation of this is that he knows he's a dirty b****rd!!
Although when I'm 35...... well, dirty me up

angeleyes2008: Emotional maturity that counts.
i agree
and i think the more emotional experience's we have the more maturity we get.
not saying that some people aren't blessed with more than others to start with

Well I think when you meet someone you like on CS and get chatting with them and find you have something in common with them then I wonder does age really matter? Is it important to find out their age before you proceed with the friendship? I personally dont think so.....within reason of course.
