age difference

[AngelAmy]

i know there is a thread about older men in ladies room but this is a little different

i want to know when the age difference comes inbetween feelings
i dont think it really fucking matters (as long as it's legal)

why should age matter when all thats important in love is, well, love
if you have a good time with someone and you really care for them why should 1 year or 12 years make any difference?

there is NOTHING that will ever make me understand age getting in the way of a great relationship

Not only love should matter.....but maturity of both people and the way he treats you. If he treats you like a woman...and thats what you want.....then its all good

it doesn't matter, just like race doesn't matter, but it's society that makes it that way. not many people would be comfortable with such a big age difference. it personally stopped me from starting a relationship. the guy was very nice but i couldn't get down with the age difference. (15yrs)

Whether or not age matters depends on the ages of the respective parties.

There is much less of a difference b/w a 30 year old woman and a 45 year old man, and an 18 year old woman and a 30 year old man.

It has to do with life stages. The 30 and 45 year old are at the same relative stages in their life cylce, (middle adulthood) and are dealing with the same issues and what's called the normative psychosocial crises of the stage.

A woman who is in late adolecense to early adulthood is in a different place than a guy in middle or late adulthood. The issues and normal psychosocial crises are different.

Specifically, adolescent/early adulthood is at the psychosocial stage of identity vs. role confusion and intimacy vs. isolation. The adult in middle adulthood deals with issues of generativity vs. stagnation and even begins to think in terms of ego integrity vs. despair. It's just a vast gulf and a different phase of life that makes the long term relationship b/w a young woman and a man nearly 15 years her senior likely to fail.

Of course, there is also elements of why an older guy is so attractive, and women with poor fathers seek older men to replace the father. It's not a conscious decisioin, but it often works that way.

You guys talked about the women being younger..how about if the man is younger. We tend to have a double standard. People frown upon a woman going out with a much younger manbut not so much if the man is older . I think any BIG age difference can be a problem, because you're at a different place in your lives. I don't see how an 18 yr old can have anything in common witha 40 year old.

I PREFER WOMEN SLIGHTLY OLDER THAN ME. I TEND TO BE A LITTLE DEEPER THAN MOST GUYS MY AGE AND MOST WOMEN A LITTLE OLDER THAN ME APPRECIATE IT MORE.

Damnit! Don't you listen? They feed 'em to the cows!

Interestingly enough, it's William Shakespeare's Birthday (and deathday) today (4/23). His was one of the great older woman-younger man love affairs in history. His wife, Anne Hathaway, was 8 years older than William. And they lived happily ever after. The end.

CHRIS - "And they lived happily ever after."

You should write the Monarch or Cliff notes to Shakespear's plays!
