DOES AGE MATTER IN A RELATIONSHIP? (182)
Everyone says no, but when it comes right down to the line, no means yes.

I think that you are forgetting the things that come along with age.
So while for the rare couple it will make no difference, I believe for the majority of people to sustain a relationship, it can certainly be a deciding factor.

Its not that simple though. If a woman is in her 40's and she meets a guy in his 20's great..... but if he decides he wants children, she may either, not want to have children, or may not be able to anymore 
I think for me thats the only issue.After that it really is just about 2 people connecting and getting along really well

age is just a no..on my opinion...it depends on the peerson how to act or to behave regarding their ages..some young ones knows what is responsibility and they are more behave than elder ones...as we who are matured,,we should know how to act maturedly,,,every body has their own characters and tho we are old,it also doesnt mean we dont have fun,...it all depends on a person how they behave,young or old..but lets enjoy life,its too short to waste it,,have fun anyway....

i certainly buy your idea. it is a matter of getting along. Myself, i don't consider it to be a barrier, i choose to be with who i get along with provided there is an atom of love among us.

There is always a way around, as long as we are happy and there is a strong bond of love between us, one could adopt a child, isn't it a nice idea?

Yes of course but I guess thats a very individual thing too. Some men wouldn't mind adopting but others would want their own flesh and blood.
So you're saying as long as you're happy with your chosen partner...Absolutely Anything else can be worked around?
Cool!!!

Sebastino: I would say age is never a barrier if you ask me, but many people use it as a criteria to decide who they want to be with instead of who they person is and the love they both have for each other.
I'm not doin women twice my age, period.
Ya, it matters.

hmm I would have to go with 3-4 years is the most due to anything over 5 gets a bit strange unless you got things to do with each other and not happen to bring up the age matter. I am still into if we match we match idea so it could be someone older/younger

mail rules and sisterhood is the best

I thing it depends on what age you are when you meet somebody younger/older.
At 20-30, there could be problems about having children, a career to built, etc.
At 60+, you have nothing to take into consideration but the love you can share and the way to make both your life happy. Age and difference of age don't matter any more.

Yeah i agree with you there i think age does matter. Most ppl do want to have their own kids at some stage and if the woman is much older that may not be possible.

god I have no idea
but it's obvious from the responses here that it is an individual thing
my ex boyfriend is quite a bit younger than me but I broke it off because he's an idiot not cause he is yunger.
as far as who I get mails from on these sites - mostly younger a few my age, a few older...one thing I have noted since my divorce is that most single men are younger
but I think it's the rare young man who would be truly interested in a relationship that entailed something besides FWB with a woman my age. I suppose it could happen, wouldn't rule it out, but I am a skeptic

It`s hard to generalize ... in most cases ,it doesn`t matter in the beginning , ore even after a few year ...but eventually its gonna matter to one of them

Does age matter? I would say only if one of you let's it.

bestbefore: Does age matter? I would say only if one of you let's it.
I like ur answer. I think it's a good closure that let's the whole thing be the individualized situation that it is. In reality there is not a "right" or "wrong" answer as in most things. There is just what works for the people involved (& no one else gets an opinion)------ This poll is Archived ------
I would say it only made a real impact if a 40 yr old was dating a 18 yr old.
Love should not have limits agreed...but how many of you could say at the age of 18 you felt the same as you do know?

Using age is too subjective. People mature at a different rate, some never do. Can an 18 year old get along with a 50 year old? It is very possible, but doubtful. You also have to take into account personalities, background etc. There have been many successful relationships with large age differences. Of course there were more that weren't successful. I agree with Sebastian that a strong relationship can over come most obstacles.

You have to have things in common, if I went oyt with a 20 year old what would we talk about, the Spice girls, boy bands....
I prefer someone closer to my age as conversation is the most important thing.
Oooo a serious reply, doesnt feel good......

I consider my self a young 69yr old.i have had some very flattering E/mails from woman half my age,I would love to settle down. but imagin having children. she would be in her forties ,i would be 79 yrs old. that wouldnt be fair to a ten yr old child .time has robbed me of that pleasure .

I think age difference makes a guy more interesting,weather younger or older..but at different times of life we expect different things from our partner,children being a big factor to rock the boat and capsize.

It's less a matter of age than how much life people have in them. That their ears and eyes are open that they have a little thirst for knowledge and that they want to enjoy. Some people seem to shut the door on all that in their 20s and other people will keep on exploring and enjoying in their 80s. I want to be like my step granddad was and dance the night away on my 85th birthday, get a little tipsy and shoot the breeze with my friends and family. Dance anyone?

I hope you do follow in your step granddad footsteps,I have read a few of your comments on things other people have written , you talk a lot of commen sence.

And again anyone would see why Gabi and I are getting together. I could write exactly the same thing as she did. We think so much alike it is scary at times. That includes "private" times as well. PHEW, only a couple of weeks away from being together. Being separated for these weeks really sucks.
