Age difference. What is an acceptable difference?

[jerseyart]

So were hanging out, a song comes on the radio, and she mentions how much she likes the tune.

And Im like wow, didnt know someone made anew version. She says puzzled, what new version.

It's a remake says I, thinking how can you not know the song, they played it ad nauseum when it first came out.

She says from when. I don't know says I, I guess I was a freshman in high school. It was on the radio all the time, you had to have heard it.

She looks at me and says, I was 1 at the time.




So Im thinking cant be right, being the financial whiz I am, I instantaneously crunch the numbers in my head and she would have been........

OMG

I dated 10 years and 11 years younger a few times, it all depends on the maturity and where they are at.

I was 34 and 35 at the time and these women were mid 20's and had it very together.

Half your age plus six.

 

[bluepeter]

Half your age plus six.

I thought it was half plus 7.

Maybe... but there's not a damn thing wrong with being with a man 9 yrs your senior...

Nope not a damn thing wrong with it

I don't put too many limitations on age, never have. I've always found myself attracted to confidence and maturity over age or apperance.

Did it work out well for you man.

She had it rough as well, so she knows what time it is. I respect that, and that it didnt make her bitter or selfish.

Also, how do you tell chicks they cant ride your bike and have to sit in the pussy seat

 

[ChefWide]

pussy seat

Coffee, meet monitor screen. Monitor screen, meet coffee.

 

[Dial_tone]

I prefer less than 5.

Half your age plus six.

Damn



I want a second opinion

 

[WODIN]

The age difference acceptance level is proportionate to the level of wealth of the opposing party.

For instance Billy Joel just married a 22 year old hottie. He is 53. Everyone goes...Eh...

Etc....

I don't have to tell them, they know they ain't driving!

Ha! When my boyfriend was graduating highschool I was only a few months old. He is 18 years older than me. If you want to be exact he is 17 years 11 months and 30 days older than me.

Rarely do we have moments where he'll mention something that I wasn't alive to even know about. We have had those moments though. For example, a few months ago he was talking about the last time Mount St. Helen erupted. He mentioned it was 25 years ago. We both laughed since I wasn't even alive to know about it.

The acceptable age gap differs from couple to couple. Some people may not be mature enough to be in an age gap relationship. Some may not be able to cope with the age difference. Some may have a problem accepting their partner fully because they focus on what others will think, etc. If both parties are mature enough and ready for an age gap relationship age should not be an issue. I'm a member of an age gap relationship board where there is a female member who is 23 years old dating a man who is 68 or so. They have been together for over three years and both are happy.

out of highschool is the big step for you to take JA.....
make sure she is out of highschool.....

I am 26. I would prefer to date men only 4 + years older than me...

 

[velvett]

I dated a man roughly 25 years older than me, we had many of the same interests and we both loved jazz - age was not the negative factor of the relationship.

Age matter less, although it can matter to certain people at certain times as well as maturity levels that jive right. I think it's where you are in your life and how open your mind is to different things that matters more.

My man donald fagan was there 25 years ago.

hey nineteen, that's aretha franklin.

I am 28, my gf is 19. Seems to work just fine. She is pretty mature for her age tho.

 

[Smurfy]

Ive dated 13 yrs younger all the way up to 8 yrs older. I never really discriminated. But i dont think Id go THAT young again.

 

[dirty~d~]

A friend of mine has a rule of thumb never to date a guy who is old enough to physically be her father (13 years roughly). Me on the otherhand... well, my ex is 20 years my senior. Age was never a problem. If you and the younger/older person you are with can find things in common and enjoy each other's company then why does age have to matter?
