The other guy gets it. The difference between 18 dating 28 and 30 dating 40 is massive. One is fresh out of high school, maybe still lives with parents or just moved out, hasn’t developed independently and experienced life yet. At 30 or even 24-25 more age gaps are less creepy because at that point people are truly on the same level of similar life experience and understanding
Exactly I’m 28 and he’s 38, I don’t feel the difference. And it’s only at 26 that I became comfortable with age gaps. Otherwise at 23 I’d have sideyed a 33 year old looking my way.
After you become an adult, there’s just adults. The idea of needing to be within one or two years of the person you’re dating comes from dating as a minor, a teenager who goes to high school or college. That is a school age idea of dating. Thinking you need to be within a year or two of the person you’re dating is childish thinking. You could meet a 25-year-old woman who is wise beyond her years and intelligent and beautiful and you could meet a 45-year-old man who might as well be 20.
@@dalton2592 while an 18 year old is technically a legal adult, they are still technically an adolescent which is a phase of childhood so yes 18 year olds are still children and probably shouldn’t be participating in adult themes like sexual exploration. Sex is for adults, not children.
@@BreaktheKarmicWheelNo, if you’re at 18 years old, you’re an adult. While I do agree sex is for adults and they should be, but an 18 year old isn’t a child. That’s a grown adult and sex isn’t the only thing that is exclusive to adults.

An adult age can’t be compared to a 10 year old kid. 20 and up are already adults and can make their own decisions. Don’t take a 10 year old as an example comparison
We are having all these debates about age because we left God’s laws and made ours. My point is, we are now challenging our laws too. As long as a person is regarded as an adult, and both are happy together. Then who knows what age should one consider themselves mature?

First of all, it's just about perspective when I was 15 for me, being 20 years old was old age, and when I got 20, I used to think 27/ 28 was way older to enjoy life, now I am 28 being 30 is like hell for me even though I know I'm quite close to being 30, the thing is that the more older you get the more you realise you missed enjoying life because you follow the perspective of others confused what age is best in the eyes of others.Second it doesn't matter if there is little age gap or huge or no age gap at all matters, how sincere and loyal your partner is, age gap or no age gap doesent guarantee to long lasting relationships.

Meeting someone young and growing together is the best way. No baggage and you shape each other around each others quirks and habits, so much so that you feel nobody else could ever understand you the way they do. Met my husband when we were both 18 and are now 40 and I know I couldn’t be with anyone else but him. People in the same stage of life are dealing with the same shit, have the same tastes in music, likes and dislikes etc Sometimes people don’t like where they are in life and reminisce about the past, so they try to reenact it by backpedaling to someone at an age when they themselves were happier. I’ve seen age gap relationships and It rarely works long term tbh. I come from a family where only my sister is divorced, and she was in an age gap relationship. Everyone else from myself, to my parents and grandparents were the same age (within 3 or 4 years).
Honestly, it is more hard for me to accept the fact that there is some married couples out there shockingly turned out to be that the wife is older than her husband. I mean, omg. Even the gap are like 5-10 years.

So I asked my sister what she thinks about a relationship where the woman is one year older than the man, and she didn't like it at all. But my sister is in a age gap relationship.

@@bajangal8142hi there. Does age matter to you and him, personally? The look ? Looking old & young.. ? Lifespan? Btw, you both are young in age. Yer, Maturity is not defined by age. What matters is compatibility in what is important to you guys. E g How you spend time, how you solve problems, how you see money. Eight Date is worth read.
I am 38. I get allot of attraction from women between the ages of 21 - 27, it’s basically a predetermined age set that I naturally operate within by default. I hear a lot from them about younger men not pleasuring them, immature, goofy, not established, general lack of drive/ambition, drink too much, lack of safety, poor fitting and bad taste in clothing and appearance, and not much of a difference between dating guys in high school/college. Don’t get mad at me; several women have told me this over the years. So, younger men should act older and present themselves better and be able to communicate a plan for economic viability.
Is 22 dating 18/19 fine? I am a guy who turned 22 just 3 weeks ago and I like a girl who is 18 almost 19. I am in last year of college and she is in 1st year of college.
No one would ever notice a 30/40 10 year age gap. When I was 31 my girlfriend was a mature 21. I have always looked younger than I am. It depends on how old you look for stares. The problem with some men and women they don't age that well. Women stop smoking immediately. Men too for your health and your appearance.
@@aizenosaimafidon1119 not really, it's normal, i knew a lot of 21 yos marrying and having children that are now 35 yos and their kids were well raised and the couple is still together and healthy. Altough some 21 yos behave like 17 yos and 17 yos like 14 yos and that makes you think 21 yo are kids

@@selen5487 Worldwide, women tend to go for men who are ~5 years older than them, taller than them and make more money than they do. According to evolutionary psychology, this is due mainly to hypergamy, which helps them to end up with their best possible option objectively. Cultural differences arise, but a 5-year age gap is the average across cultures. It matters less once people are both past their mid-20's, but people that get married younger are often closer in age. (And this is a good thing, as they get to grow together). It just comes down to maturity and having the right dynamic conducive to attraction and a healthy long-term relationship. Short-term dating, however, people tend to have different objectives. We have seen a societal shift shrinking the age gap in the West, and this makes sense. Where I am from in America, most couples aren't all that far apart in age, unless they get married later.
Hmmmm! I remember when my brother was 17-18, and he had a rich ladyfriend who was in her late 60s. She picked him up and carried him everywhere. Afterwards, I heard he dated her mother, who was in her 90s. The reason I am saying is because my schoolmates who lived near her kept asking me if I was kin to that older woman up the street. I replied in the negative. But, asked them why? They snickered and revealed to me that my brother kept visiting her in the midnight hours. I thought no wonder she crazy about him. Apparently, everyone knew, but my parents. I was only 8 back then, and I was in total shock because she looked like a prune. I learned the hard way that age is just a number.😮 .
I'm 34, my bf is 25. We've been together 4+ years. I never thought I'd see the day that I was dating someone that much younger than me, but... we typically meet somewhere in the middle maturity-wise, so it works out 🤷♀️
They matter less as you get older and really stop meaning anything at like, 30-40. Before 30 I’d say 5 years is cool, and like 2-3 TOPS if you’re young like 18-20. A 30 year old and a 40 year old have the same maturity level. An 18 year old, while still a kid, is on a different level of development than a 15 year old
Age gaps don't matter after the younger one is over 20. I am 36 and my gf is 22 and we have a healthy and happy relationship. She is an adult now and old enough to know whats right and wrong.
I am a 22 year old guy in last year of college and I like a girl in my college who is 19 now and is in 1st year now about to be in 2nd year soon so we are only 3 years apart in age. We get along really well and have plenty of things in common to talk about and pretty much feel like peers. I never had a girlfriend so I have no experience in relationships either so I am not even looking for a serious relationship. I am only looking for a normal dating with hugs, getting my first kiss, going to a Cafe or going to a park holding hands and eating ice cream.

Now my man is 5 years my senior and we both share this idea that 10 years age gap is the maximum age gap we could go. If we split, I would never ever someone 10+. And on the other way around, i would not go further than 2/3 years if the man is younger.

Americans have a love hate relationship with sex. Its a mix of puritan heritage and higher crime rates than the european average. Americans want a perfect system. Unfortunately the desire for perfection puts the US in the same camp as North Korea. Because only dictatorships want a perfect society. And the only way americans know how to solve problems is through force. Harsh punitive justice that takes no account of context only a puritan ideal of perfection. There's a very dark borderline 1984 undercurrent in these discussions. When it comes to sexual morality americans are the worst in the western world. Easily outraged prone to very harsh punitive justice for even minor infractions. The only thing they achieve is an ever growing number of people out on parole for being drunk that one time and making a dumb joke. In some respects the US is even worse than Iran at this considering numerous cases of 14-16 year olds that got arrested for simply taking pics. Some of those got so shamed during interrogations they offed themselves. I used to believe the US system harsh as it is is still better than Iran. But now its only better in some respects.

An acceptable age gap is if they're legal. Legally speaking. Morally, do your own thing as long as it's at least legal. There's no moral absolutes that are universal past legal age. Adults will decide what they as an adult want to do. So it's pointless to complain about a 30 year old dating a 20 year old. What are you gonna do? Break em up? Can't because you don't have the legal authority. Also, stupid to think that age decides whether you have stuff in common, outside of common adult experiences. You just have to look for someone who's old enough and has some common interests.

20 is when one becomes an actual adult. Out of teen years. 21 being drinking age is fine i think and i agree with it being that, but being able to drink or drinking isn’t the only thing that makes you an adult. Lots of adults don’t drink and will never drink.
@phaith7497 drinking doesn't make you an adult. Yes, you are right, but if you're told you can't drink until your 21, that is a restriction. Adults have no restrictions. Nothing is stopping me from going to a liquor store and buying alcohol. But if I was 20, something would stop me.

After you become an adult, there’s just adults. The idea of needing to be within one or two years of the person you’re dating comes from dating as a minor, a teenager who goes to high school or college. That is a school age idea of dating. Thinking you need to be within a year or two of the person you’re dating is childish thinking. You could meet a 25-year-old woman who is wise beyond her years and intelligent and beautiful and you could meet a 45-year-old man who might as well be 20.
The idea that people experience full mental development and radical maturity growth once they reach 18 is absurd
@@dalton2592 while an 18 year old is technically a legal adult, they are still technically an adolescent which is a phase of childhood so yes 18 year olds are still children and probably shouldn’t be participating in adult themes like sexual exploration. Sex is for adults, not children.
@@BreaktheKarmicWheelNo, if you’re at 18 years old, you’re an adult. While I do agree sex is for adults and they should be, but an 18 year old isn’t a child. That’s a grown adult and sex isn’t the only thing that is exclusive to adults.

First of all, it's just about perspective when I was 15 for me, being 20 years old was old age, and when I got 20, I used to think 27/ 28 was way older to enjoy life, now I am 28 being 30 is like hell for me even though I know I'm quite close to being 30, the thing is that the more older you get the more you realise you missed enjoying life because you follow the perspective of others confused what age is best in the eyes of others.Second it doesn't matter if there is little age gap or huge or no age gap at all matters, how sincere and loyal your partner is, age gap or no age gap doesent guarantee to long lasting relationships.

Meeting someone young and growing together is the best way. No baggage and you shape each other around each others quirks and habits, so much so that you feel nobody else could ever understand you the way they do.

Eight Date is worth read.
I am 38. I get allot of attraction from women between the ages of 21 - 27, it’s basically a predetermined age set that I naturally operate within by default. I hear a lot from them about younger men not pleasuring them, immature, goofy, not established, general lack of drive/ambition, drink too much, lack of safety, poor fitting and bad taste in clothing and appearance, and not much of a difference between dating guys in high school/college. Don’t get mad at me; several women have told me this over the years. So, younger men should act older and present themselves better and be able to communicate a plan for economic viability.

Clinical immaturity
@@selen5487 Worldwide, women tend to go for men who are ~5 years older than them, taller than them and make more money than they do. According to evolutionary psychology, this is due mainly to hypergamy, which helps them to end up with their best possible option objectively.
Cultural differences arise, but a 5-year age gap is the average across cultures.
It matters less once people are both past their mid-20's, but people that get married younger are often closer in age. (And this is a good thing, as they get to grow together).
It just comes down to maturity and having the right dynamic conducive to attraction and a healthy long-term relationship.
Short-term dating, however, people tend to have different objectives.
We have seen a societal shift shrinking the age gap in the West, and this makes sense.
Where I am from in America, most couples aren't all that far apart in age, unless they get married later.

I replied in the negative. But, asked them why? They snickered and revealed to me that my brother kept visiting her in the midnight hours. I thought no wonder she crazy about him.

Americans have a love hate relationship with sex. Its a mix of puritan heritage and higher crime rates than the european average. Americans want a perfect system. Unfortunately the desire for perfection puts the US in the same camp as North Korea. Because only dictatorships want a perfect society. And the only way americans know how to solve problems is through force. Harsh punitive justice that takes no account of context only a puritan ideal of perfection. There's a very dark borderline 1984 undercurrent in these discussions. When it comes to sexual morality americans are the worst in the western world. Easily outraged prone to very harsh punitive justice for even minor infractions. The only thing they achieve is an ever growing number of people out on parole for being drunk that one time and making a dumb joke. In some respects the US is even worse than Iran at this considering numerous cases of 14-16 year olds that got arrested for simply taking pics. Some of those got so shamed during interrogations they offed themselves. I used to believe the US system harsh as it is is still better than Iran. But now its only better in some respects.

When you think about it age doesn't really matter as long as you wait for the right time. Like both of you are in legal age and are having a stable life, then sure go ahead
Age doesn't matter when fully developed.
I.E 21-25 yr of age.
Anything under that matters.

I think the question is why we see so many age gaps. Why do so many men aim for that and why is it so difficult for people to couple with their peers who are 5 years plus or minus their age. If under 25 you really need to be no more than a two year gap or it starts to get very inappropriate.
I am 22 and went on a date with a girl recently who is 19 so we are basically only 3 years apart in age. I am turning 23 next month tho just 3 days before Christmas and she turns 20 in April so we will be 19 and 23 for 4 months and then become 20 and 23 which is definitely fine.
@manosijroy8282 you are peers. And have a great deal in common. Two or three years is not a big deal at all. I love to see that.
@@i.aint.1.of.ur.little.friendsWell I’m 29 and my gf is 20 and the youngest I said I would date a woman is 23 and She was the one who told me she was interested in me, I had rejected her at first but the more we talk the more I realize we had a lot in common and the more I start to really like her, so it’s not always the man that goes for the really young girls, but if the relationship doesn’t work I’m going back to 23 to 27 range as I also take into consideration of having a child with that woman and she needs to be healthy and at a certain age to have atleast two kids with me, so I take all of that into consideration. But yeah I don’t go after girls that are 7+ younger than me, my gf is just the exception

The problem with a 30
year old dating a 20 year old is the 20 year old is still developing and the relationship is not promising. The older person becomes more set in there ways while the younger one is going through changes in the personality
It it matters if you care what everyone thinks. You also have to realize at a certain age it’s only about getting busy .you’re not going to always have a stable relationship. But that said, my grandparents had a pretty wide age gap and they were just fine. Different era though.
my mom was a few month old while my dad was 17 and working
so.. assuming they started dating when she turned 18.. he is 33 years older than her.

That's age-appropriate right there. As long as his birthday's before hers so they can be under the 5 year age difference
For me my dating range is 18-22 no more than 2 years I,am 20 btw so it’s right in the middle perfect
I am 22 so within your age preference but would you really turn down a 23 year old or a 24 year old?
@@manosijroy8282I’m sure they wouldn’t if they really liked them, but 2 years is just what they are looking for in age range preferably, but not like a hard line in the sand or something. I was the same, but ended up liking a guy 3 years older than me but i felt it was right and i liked him. We were 16 and 19 at the time, now 18 and 21.
As long as both are mature enough in the sense of shared values and morals. and financial stability/health, age gap becomes less of an issue if not non-existence.
My dad : 4 years younger than my mum. Married for 48 years, till death parted them. Both are in heaven with Jesus. I think it’s not so much age - it’s whether both like each other, compatible & willing to go the distance & stay faithful to each other.

True
My mom and dad are 10 years apart like my dad is 57 and my mom is 47
Nice, 10 year age difference is cool, or under
It all depends on how old they were when they got together 18 and 28 is not okay for example
The fact that he had to stop for a second (between 20 and 10) and not say "no, not weird, but criminal" shows that he's smoked too much weed.
also when there’s a 13 year old vs a 10 year old you can easily tell the difference 3 years is so much at that age. But as you get older is harder to notice any changes between those two different ages. In maturity as well as physically.
Me at 16... guess I need an 18 year old.

It's fine as long as both of them are adults.
those days is 10-20 age gaps are common
if younger partner at least 20 ofcourse
Was in a relationship with a guy which he was 12 years younger than me...we couldn't tell I was older he was younger, i dont know why we didn't bother asking our age sooner but as we talk we came to realize we never talked about age, and when we knew I was older....we decided to be friends
My mother and father has 25years of gap. The married when my
Father is 45 and my mother is 20.
Of course 10 and 20 would be absurd. But 30 and 40 isnt. At that point youve matured.
Age 14 divided by 2 add 10, equals 17, that'd be a three year age gap

This paranoid age obsession is stupid, look as long as you've gone through puberty or been past puberty, you already got given the talk, and give it some thought dating someone older or younger than you shouldn't be a problem as long as there's no ill intent, plain and simple. Not everybody has to be a dirty-minded pervert.

Thank you, as long and you and the other person are happy then why should anyone care. My friend was 26 and he dated a girl that was 45?? No one made a big deal of that. That’s why I don’t date. I just focus on myself. I want to be happy alone. And love myself before loving Someone else.

Do yourself a favor and stop having crushes. Pay attention to the ones that like you and pick the best of those. Go where you're celebrated, not merely tolerated. If you're trying to win her over and she doesn't really like you like that, a relationship with her is going to be hell, especially these days.

I agree!
I'm a woman in my 20s and I'm also into men older than me, but not too old enough to be my father/grandfather. That's my personal preference. Like I'm okay with men who are probably 10-12 years older (max.) than me, but I won't go after a guy who's the same age as my dad/grandpa or around the same age range as them.
Yes! Same here. Older men > younger men all day everyday. Even if he’s not too much younger than you still, any man younger is still immature.

Good afternoon everyone. I think love can occur any age. As long as two people understand the consequences of when getting older than the other. I am the oldest of seven children. My father was 45. My mother was 20. And they were married until they passed about 11 months apart. it is true. This is a different world we live in today. But love it still stands. As long as two people love each other who cares what people think people have all kinds of opinions. Don’t worry about what they think. Just love the one you’re with.
Society is going to shit 😅😂...no way in hell my daughter dating any man 10 years older than her when shes 23 or younger. I would not allow that shit. People really out here pushing weird shit. Social media is the devil boy. Y2K is real ya'll.

Age's meaning is manufactured from anecdotal experience. Once your daughter is an adult it's up to her.
@@thereccher8746 One thing I will agree with you on tho, is it being her choice, which I respect. But she's getting her own place to do that.
Agreed why are they in preference of weird age gaps seems like middle aged grown single men are trying to find excuses to date as young as they can in a weird way
Don’t listen to these comments that don’t understand or commend fathers concern
It's not like you going to have much in common with any woman of any age.
As long as she's legal age and wants to hang out with you, it's fine.
There is something wrong with you if you can’t find someone your type in the same Generation as you. Dating outside your generation is messed up.
@@petermj1098 no what is messed up is people like you who are insecure and want to put down other relationship. They are fine as long as they are legal.
It's actually "divide by 2 and add 7". So, 22:2+7=18, 30:2+7=22, 40:2+7=27
‘Divide your age by 2 and add 10’ so I’m 13 and should be dating a 16 year old?
An acceptable age gap is if they're legal. Legally speaking.
Morally, do your own thing as long as it's at least legal. There's no moral absolutes that are universal past legal age. Adults will decide what they as an adult want to do. So it's pointless to complain about a 30 year old dating a 20 year old. What are you gonna do? Break em up? Can't because you don't have the legal authority.
Also, stupid to think that age decides whether you have stuff in common, outside of common adult experiences. You just have to look for someone who's old enough and has some common interests.

The acceptable age gap, is whatever the couple wants.
No. 16 and 30 is a no go no matter what the “couple” wants. If both are over age 20 then okay i guess you do you, praying for ya. But anything under that is weird.

@@phaith7497 That's legal is so many countries.

@@XBoxwolf no, that is still creepy and wrong. Something needs to change there too, badly. Its awful.
@@phaith7497 if the couple is happy, who are we to judge. I think that what is more important is that no one is getting taken advantage of. That is what is wrong and should be stopped. Sure it is more common if there is an age gap, but it is not always the case. Back in the day it was super common. Though I think at 16 both sexes were a lot more mature back then and also there would be no way that she would marry that guy unless he was vetted by the family first and in the west we really don't do that anymore.
The problem isn't really the age gap. It's just the age at which they get involved in a relationship/ have feelings for each other.
Just entered a relationship with a man 31 years older than me 😂😂😂

Look, the way I see it 21 years old is when you're truly an adult because you're allowed to drink legally (no dark shit pun intended)
You should be able to drink at 16 periodt
Only in the United States but in other countries anyone is allowed to drink so..
@@calebsansom8673no.
20 is when one becomes an actual adult. Out of teen years. 21 being drinking age is fine i think and i agree with it being that, but being able to drink or drinking isn’t the only thing that makes you an adult. Lots of adults don’t drink and will never drink.
@phaith7497 drinking doesn't make you an adult. Yes, you are right, but if you're told you can't drink until your 21, that is a restriction. Adults have no restrictions. Nothing is stopping me from going to a liquor store and buying alcohol. But if I was 20, something would stop me.
