Default Does age matter in relationships?
What are your feelings on this subject?

I've had a couple of experiences with younger guys.
One when I was 27 and he was 18 and one when I was 40 and he was 28. I'm happy now with someone a little older than myself.

That’s the standard protective father routine

I’d rather my daughter be with an older man who worshipped her than some snotty nose kid treating her like sh1t

It’s hard but they are not kids forever

What's up with the Black Country? Besides Wolverhampton Wanderers anyway.

But in all seriousness in that scenario it would honestly depend on how long that they've known each other for.

Like for example if he was her Teacher back in Primary School then I'd see that as a massive red flag.

Then you are an exception that would prove the rule

Noone is saying that age gaps dont work just that its easier if the person has the same themes growing up - music, sport, news, films etc

I’ve been on both sides

When I was 19 I was seeing a 31 year old and when I was 31 I was seeing a 19 year old

If two people are attracted to each other and want an adult relationship there is nothing wrong

One of my successful friends his daughter married and older man and gave kids together

The age gap is only relevant for maybe under 50’s ... any older and there is no issue imho

Habitually I'd say "it doesn't really matter, it's more about the person", but I've never really been interested in anyone more than a couple of years either side of my own age.
