Does Age Really Matters?

[joebloggs]

Hmmm how about the height does height matter? I'm 5ft and my hubby is 6'3, when were 2gether i really wish i was tall... but then what can I do? I was born petite and will forevr be like this..

important point height, my misses is 5ft 1, just the right height so i can lean my elbow on her head when i'm tired

i'm 6yrs older than the misses, she will still be working and earning money after i've retired

well look at this guy, 84 years old, 86 wives and 170 kids

"A man with 10 wives would collapse and die, but my own power is given by Allah. That is why I have been able to control 86 of them," he told the BBC

it does matter to me! what if the man cant even stretch his back anymore????

[telford]

it depends on how many years is the gap.if its more than 20 years,i think its not ideal.not unless u need father figure.
but if u think that youre compatible,then go for it.do the things that make u happy,that matters most.

I've enjoyed reading your replies! THanks! Helps me feel more confident! I'm actuali referring to myself 'cos im older than my bf. I know most of the ppl here are the hubby or bf is older but in my case im older than him.

You don't look like you're much older? You both look good in your avatar...
Good luck! to you.

My missus is 9yrs older than me.....makes no difference.....she likes being called mum

If I felt my age then the age gap probably would be an issue .... but at 54 I feel that I'm just past adolescence! My only real concern is that Ruby, who is 24, may end up being a widow at a relatively young age.

I`m glad this thread was started. My girlfriend is 21 yrs younger than me. I worry sometimes the gap is too great, so its been nice to read other`s opinions.
And PeterB`s comment gives me hope when I read of someone with an age gap greater than my girlfriend and me. It even gives me hope that I may yet get past adolescence!

[jackmac452]

My missus always call's me Dad...kind of feels nice now...and if "adolescence" is the name of one of Win2Win's horse racing tips.....you'll always get past them..hahaha

I am flying out on the 12th to meet my gf, Shirley, for the first time. She is a spinster aged 36. I am 60 but she insists she is 'an old lady' at her age and is not at all concerned about our age difference, despite my having highlighted it on occasions.

We shall see when we meet in 8 days time, but webcams cannot lie - can they? And I can truthfully say, knowing she will read this, that she looks pretty damn good for her age. I just hope I do!!

I dont think age is a major issue. Although I would say that I find it a bit weird an older guy, say above 40, going out with a younger lady, say 18 to 25. Social acceptability would be hard to find. For a woman going out witha younger guy would be more acceptable as we have all seen in the past.
As long as the age gap is not too extreme, then its fine. no more than 15 years difference is fine.

[joebloggs]

age should not matter if both partners want to be together, but if other people don't like it, then that's their problem not yours.

thou, with the gov raising the minimum age for a spouse visa from 18 to 21, then age is a concern to the gov, but then i can see this being challenged in court, and with the gov's record it will lose again

also people should be aware 'Applicants/Sponsors with a large difference in ages The rules do not state that the applicant and sponsor must be within a certain age differential, but if there is a disproportionate age difference (for example, more than 25 - 30 years), additional care needs to be taken.'

Age doesn't matter as long as you love each other

Woman older than man?

Physically speaking woman remains look younger even she's older to a man

That's exactly true kukurokuk i agree with you.
Age is just numbers im 6 years older than my husband but everybody think im younger than him. If you love a person you dont mind about your age gap it is what you feel and how comfortable are you with each other.

Maybe its how woman takes care of herself also especially filipina woman they're concious with everything especially when it comes to physical looks.

Hey faralorbes im older 6 years than my husband his very responsible and he takes good care of me and our daughter.
Theres nothing wrong with age gap as long as you loved each other.

hi all this is a question and i have some exsperience of this. i once dated a thai girl whos main reason for breaking up was that i was 25 and she was 28 since then i haved dated a few women most seem to want older men in fact my first thai girl friends dead husband was like 50 while she was in early 20's i dont agree with it but i understand it ,. its cos they want a man with money i think. older guy is likely to have money not only that if a guy wants to marry an asian girl he as to give money to the parents in many cases

As you are 40 at the moment lol thats an interesting observation, do be sure to let us know if your view changes say in 15 years or so
