| What do you Think about age difference in relationships? Do you Think it's wrong when someone date someone who is ten years older or younger? What about twenty years? Do you have experience from a relationship with much age difference? Feel free to talk about it. |
| Well my grandfather on my mother's side was 35 years older than my grandmother when they married. Even so they got along fairly well. I personally don't have a problem with age differences as long as both parties are over the age of consent. |
| If you pretend to feel a certain way, the feeling can become genuine all by accident. — Hei |
| oldest guy i ever dated was 50. |
| I like lolis |
 |
| never had that kind of relationship (yet) but age does not matter as they say as long as you like each other |
| if both parties are over the age of consent, its fine. i've seen senior/freshman relationships before and thats where it crosses the line. |
| I wouldn't date anyone over 10 years younger than me or older than me |
| ehhhh i avoid it, but sometimes you meet someone who's brain is just like yours, despite age. then a great friendship or other can succeed |
daintybiscuit said: ehhhh i avoid it, but sometimes you meet someone who's brain is just like yours, despite age. then a great friendship or other can succeed This. I actually know of someone like that, a friendship has to suffice considering she's already married and about thrice my age, lol. |

| I've gone as far as 9 years younger so far. I was 27 and she was 18. I hadn't really considered going further than than 10. I prefer my partner have a little experience in the ways of the world first, if we're talking about dating. If it's just casual sex or FWB, long as she's hot and legal, I'm good. |
| If the feelings are mutual and its within the legal age, I don't think there's a probem. there's an unwritten rule for dating younger people: age/2 + 7 if you're 18, 18/2 + 7, you can only date a 16 year old or up.. no such rule for older people tho so you can go ham with the cougars. |

| Ha. Ha. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. I'm laughing because you got hurt. |
| Just make sure you're legal and the person you're with is legal. |

| If your under 18 then i don't think you should go over a 3 year age difference, after your both 18 i don't think it matters at all, in my opinion. Even old guys want that young pussy. |

| As long as they're over 18 years old who cares |

| I don't think there's anything morally wrong with any relationship so long as all parties involved are voluntarily consenting to the relationship. But there definitely are some extra pitfalls in relationships between, say, a 19 year old and a 36 year old. The fact is that when you're at different stages of life you want different things and that's almost always a deal-breaker for wide age-gap relationships. A friend of mine dated someone 8 years older than her and while they were both compatible and similar in maturity, my friend was still in high school and the guy was just about to finish med school. It's too hard to keep up relationships like that when both people need to focus on vastly different things. |
| 1994 is my limit, the rest is too young. Also, I'll try to avoid dating someone who is 2 years older than me. |
| My sister went out with a guy who was like 28 when she was 17, although he was kinda strange. I would say ten years would be the limit. |
| It shouldn't matter if they are intelligent enough to think for themselves. Shouldnt really be other peoples business when its actually a loving relationship. I will judge relationships based on intentions and feelings more than something shallow like age. There are people who use age gaps for bad intent but thats not everyone so like i said I dont judge by age but reasons. Same thing goes if there is no gap. NebulaC3I said: Several states and countries have an age gap rule that give leway for small age gaps when one is supposedly over age and one under they both are considered legal. Plus parental consent laws in some areas. That is more for sex though. Laws for something as simple as just dating (without sex) are either non existent in places or confusing as far as Ive heard.Just make sure you're legal and the person you're with is legal. |

| I would like to be with someone that's no more then 10 years older then me. |
   |
| I think its fine for someone to date another 4-8 years older, i like older women myself (4-6 yrs older) and I find them more cuter. |

Heredity said: Sourire posted that eariler.isn't there some sort of equation - like the higher age minus the lower age, and then +/- 7 is the safe zone? http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1185637&show=0#msg31066997 But that's no fun. Throw caution to the wind once in a while. |
| For me, they must be: 1. 18+ 2. Within a 6-year range (older or younger) If she meets both criteria, then she is fine. So I can take anyone between 18-24. |
 |
| If you are in a romantic relationship, I think that there needs to be limits. 1. If you are over 18, be with someone else over 18 and vice versa 2. If you are over 18, you should at least be with a man who is not 25+ older. Of course it is up to the people. For a lustful/sexual relationship only, I think if it's fine that either the male or female is 100 years old, as long as the other is 16+ |

Largest difference tried was 2 years but age doesn't matter too much as long the person is mature and sane. |
| the 7 + rule is pretty much the standard, but if both partners are over 18, age becomes pretty much regardless. |
| You have to be careful about the age gap when one or both of you are under 18 but afterwards - as long as it isn't too drastic - a fairly large age gap is generally acceptable. My Mum is almost 17 years younger than my stepdad but they started dating when my Mum was 27 so it was ok. There are a lot of couples in my family where it's the woman that is older which isn't all that common really. |

| I don't believe that relationships with big age gaps work. Of course there any exceptions, but generally, no. Also, since older man younger woman relationships are kinda the norm, I see being in such a relationship as evidence that their bond likely doesn't run very deep. |

| If it works it can't be wrong. Making decisions based on arbitrary mathematical rules like the numerical relationship between your ages is pretty silly. I don't think relationships should be decided by information that could be found on a driver's license. |
Plate said: If it works it can't be wrong. Making decisions based on arbitrary mathematical rules like the numerical relationship between your ages is pretty silly. I don't think relationships should be decided by information that could be found on a driver's license. But it's more about psychological ability to decide consent. Not a mathematical conundrum of oddness. And bodily readiness. Sure My 13 year old self was ready and up for it. But was i emotionally and psychologically ready for it? no. And drivers licenses and alcohol consumption laws etc are based around your body being able to cope and handle that kind of engagement. Rather than just being kill joys. |

Rather than just being kill joys. Well, children are a different issue. I was referring mostly to adults, because honestly, different age combinations may make relationships different for adults, but if the relationship works then clearly the difference doesn't matter. But with people who aren't old enough to consent of course it's not exactly the same. Though honestly, kids are going to do whatever they want anyway, it's not weird to lose your virginity at 12 nowadays. It's wrong to take advantage of someone or prey on them, but at the end of the day there isn't anything that says two 12 year olds won't have the same relationship dynamic as some 12 year old and a 16 year old, or an 18 year old and a 30 year old. Hell, there are plenty of adults who are as emotionally and sexually mature as children, it's just that after a certain age it magically becomes okay to use and abuse them. Ages are an indicator, and we make laws based on them because they are objective, but ultimately everyone is unique. |
| It's pointless being too picky about age when it comes to relationships. People attach a lot of generalisations to a number when in actuality two people of the same age can be worlds apart in terms of their maturity, priorities, life experiences and goals. My partner is 10 years older than me. When we first got together I was more concerned about how my friends and family would react to the age gap than about the age gap itself. Doesn't help that while he looks his age, I often get mistaken for a 16-18 year old when I'm actually in my mid twenties. Hilarious yet frustrating when people at work thought he was twice my age. People generally don't care about the age gap anymore, but we definitely got a lot of resistance to begin with. |

| I don't it is wrong if it is up to 15 years difference, and I prefer the guy being older than the woman if there is such a difference. If the woman is older for 5 years it is okay imo. Now if the age difference is more than 20 years there will be many conflicts, as there are different things that each age group wants.. |
| I don't know how I would feel about it personally, but I'm good with whatever other people want to do. I know some neighbours who have a 10+ year gap and are perfectly content and made for each other. This seems to be much simpler with adults than people who are younger and starting up however. Someone who is going to college might have a hard time dating someone established in their field for a multitude of reasons... creates the tension of being/feeling like a burden in one case. Not that same-aged people don't have this issue, but it seems more common in age gap couples. Seems to be a more potentially difficult relationship, but lots of relationships have their own particular difficulties, so why not. |
