Age gap differences

At first, people think it doesn’t.

But eventually, they would realize that it matters. They will not necessarily break up with the person, but they’d feel that the significant gap in age influences display of maturity, experience, and (sometimes), even common sense.

guys seem to love gaps, age gaps, data gaps and of course their favorite thigh gaps

Yes. I don’t want to date a guy who can’t socialise after midnight and when naked looks like a raw chicken. No oldies.

There would be difficulties with each other's understanding of each other's generational differences and maturity levels, but all relationships have issues. As long as they are patient and willing to understand each other's points of view and interests, then love can work out.

For me she would have to be at least 30 years old so she has experienced life and grew into a mature woman if I was to attempt an age gap relationship.

I've been in an age gap relationship. Everyone legal, to be clear. It can work and work well. But, the age gap is a significant factor and things will crop up to work through together. I wouldn't call it a matter of maturity. It's more a matter of older partner having more experiences simply because they have lived longer. It doesn't make the older partner better or more valuable, but there will come times when it matters. When the older one will have already been through something the younger needs to experience for themselves. It can be good to share those times. Bonding. If there's healthy communication. The younger partner also brings value to the relationship. Youth is energizing. The enthusiasm and naivete are a way to stay in touch with the joys in the newness and promise of life. Both can bring value because of their differences. That's been my experience, anyway.

It matters

My sister has been with a man 18 years her senior for 3 years now, almost 4. She's never been happier bc he treats her and her kids well.

Assuming we are talking about adults, I think relationships can work with even very large age differences (20 years or more). However, it does get difficult if they are together a long time and one is already into their old age and the other, not.

If youre a pedo or predator/groomer yeah it does matter

Well I actually think there is a difference between an age gap and an age difference. Age gap I would so was over 3-4 years and an age difference over about 7-8 years. My answer would be yes it does if one of the partners was old enough to be their partners parent or was still a teen.

it depends on the age gap. if a 23 year old was dating a 27 year old that’s completely normal and only a 4 year difference, but if a 20 year old was dating a 16 year old (also a 4 year age gap) then that’s fucking wrong.

I would say no lol I'm with a man like twenty years younger than me and never been happier. It's not like some teenager with a older person that's disgusting

Unless it concerns me or my immediate family, it doesn't matter to me in the least. If my parent decided to date someone my age, hell, I wouldn't like that.

{@blp11520] well if you love each other fair enough🤷‍♂️ but long as it not the sort where you are old enough too be there parent there the sort i find a wee bit creepy

It matters to me I call it a maturity level your level may not be the same as my level even though we're the same age so it's a maturity level

Yes. For example, if it’s illegal ages or if it’s creepy like old enough to be their grandparent. I just think age gap relationships are gross tho.

Such a wonderful new pop phrase.
Even though it's been around since before I was born.
It depends on the individuals involved.
People are different.

Nope. I always had more interest to women older than me.

As long as they’re adults, i don’t think it matters at all.

Age gap isn’t about love …. It’s about need ..

It matters to society.

It does. You want a grandparent as a spouse? Doubt it.

Doesnt matter if they do or dont

It works for some people.

idk...mine is 20 years lol

Thanks for the BC. 😊

No it doesn't. DM me?

Yes.

age is just a number

Trump and Melania prove that true love is ageless

It depends on the age gap. My wife is six years older than me. I met her when I was 29.
