Age,does it matter?
Wild at Heart
Yes, yes it does.
Do you bring a Happy Meal and some Boone's Farm or do you bring wine and stuff to make her dinner?
Well, how old is she? It matters.

Like many other people have said, in theory, age doesn't matter.
It definitely depends on the maturity level of those involved.
For example 18 and 28 will definitely feel different than 28 and 38.
I personally think that if someone makes you happy and vice versa, that age doesn't matter (as long as you're both legal).

As long as you are both of legal age, and as long as there are no other legal bounds (teacher-student, for example), then no, age does not matter.

I would have nothing against it, but I prefer men and women in my own age group.
I have had one experience with an older man. I worked off a cab fare when I was 16 with a guy 40+ and enjoyed it.
Since then the desire has never been there even though opportunities have. I have my own group of friends and they keep me as happy as I would ever desire.

It's not a big deal when you're young, but when you get older it starts to become an issue

It does with some, but not with me.
Age is merely a number. As long as both parties are of legal age - Who cares?

Hell yes it matters! Working from the standard that they're both legal, here, just to make clear.
It really does matter; a friend is getting married (she's 19) to a guy who is 10 years her senior, and it just isn't working! He wants to settle and have kids, she doesn't, they fight over stuff that makes complete sense (from my perspective of a 19YO with a 30YOs brain), and the maturity level is so bloody different it's amazing how they have any decent conversations!
Short term, yes, maybe it doesn't matter. Long-term, it can become an issue.
Saying that, my grandma is 10 years my granddad's senior, but that's a different time and different backgrounds and a wholly different society back then!

I know that there are a lot of younger men who are chasing around the place saying they are interested in older women, but I take a lot of that with a pinch of salt. My ex was only a year or two older than me, and I think that is one of the reasons why we have been able to become better friends than we ever were spouses. I have enjoyed the company of men my own age and older since becoming single again, but although I am told they are interesting in bed I have no particular desire to have people whispering behind my back that I have a toy boy. Honestly, the things that interest me do not seem to even be on the radar of those who are a lot younger, and vice-versa.

I am 57 yrs old, my wife is 44 yrs old. We have been married for 12 yrs. any problem we have had, is not because of age. I think it depends on the age involved. A 20 yr old with a 30 or 40 yr old is going to have issues. The diff in youth of just 10 yrs is major. Those same people move them up 10 yrs, whole diff story. No longer a youthful 20 yr old. Makes a major diff. I was 45 when I met my wife of 31. I could not have done it if she was in her early 20's. Not from what I have seen from that age group.
Okay, I have to disagree. In my opinion age is nothing but a number. I am 27 and my husband is 44, yes we may have our issues but WHO doesn't? We can talk things out like reasonable adults. We have a lot of fun together, we may have our differences but that is what makes him and I unique. We work well together as a team and when one is lacking the other one picks up the pace.

I say maturity. If both are matured enough, then go.
I could show you INCREDIBLE things...
I answered this question or one similar to it and my answer was no age doessnt matter as long as they are legal of age .. and as long as they loved each other. Age is just a number. But I am starting to think and realize... Yes age does matter.. The older you get the more you are likely to work things out,you are more settled in your life and maturity level. As being younger, it is to easy to say the hell with it and move one... Just my opinion...
I love hearing people argue about this. My parents are 15 years apart in age. They have been married for 40 years, his 3rd her 2nd. My Master and I are 8 years apart in age. Every time I have fallen in love, it has been with the person not their timeline on this planet. Never have I ever heard anyone give a good enough argument for not being with someone you love just because of their age.

So long as both parties are over 18, then no age is just a number. If however one is under that age then yes it matters a lot!
Coming soon...
Just me
I dont think age is the problem ,i think the maturity level is the problem.

I suppose you mean sexually. Since I am mainly attracted to people younger than me, age definitely matters to me. I have a lot of good friendships with people much older than me, but sexually, I only bed partners my age or younger,

? i think it's an individual thing. As long as the individuals involved are happy with the dynamics
For myself, i seem to be "hard-wired" towards more mature Ladies... shrugs i don't fight it anymore
But it does matter!

In "real life" it does at times. Here, it doesn't matter when you are working on an on-line only relationship, Compatibility matters.
I don't totally buy into the idea that when you are older, you are necessarily more mature, or the other way around. There are mature and immature men and women of all ages.

I'm nearly 21 yrs older than my gf. Never had a better relationship before in my life.
The number of years you've been on this planet says nothing about what you've learned here.

I don't think age matters in the slightest. At the end of the day, age is just a number. You're only as old as you feel

As long as your over 18, nope.

I feel that age does matter.
If a person is 19 22 or 25 doesn't mean that they are mature.
I am not a prude I have no issues with teens having sex with eachother.
I just find it difficult to understand what people see in so much younger partners.
I personally enjoy women that are older than me and I have turned down younger ones.
I don't think it is fair for younger people I don't know how to explain in it.
Chances are they are getting flattered and will do stuff that they will regret down the road.
Not judging, just my opinion

"If it doesn't leave you breathless, sweaty and ready to fade, it's just not worth doing."
Age matters, and I don't think it's related with mental maturity - i don't think minds are very different with age (after certain point).
The thing is that age matters, because people with different ages are in different phases of their lives, if it's perfectly ok for a short adventure, a guy with 30 wants to have kids a women with 50 has probably gone over that phase. A women of 25 wants to travel and learn the world, a guy of 50 is trying to guide their kids, drive his new convertible and slowly sip his drink, ...
Also our body changes probably a lot more with age than our mind.

I'd say age matters to me, but it would be circumstantial - I don't have hard limits, per se, but my family has all had babies young so more than 9-10yrs older and you're closer to my parent's age it weirds me out a little. But as I had babies young I also don't know how great younger guys would fit with me, but I guess that would change as I age too.
In the end it would really depend on the connection and feelings, as much as I assume that I would enjoy having an older partner in terms of maturity, stability, experience etc. there's no saying someone younger doesn't have that.

Okay I'm going to lay it down for you all.
Age does matter. Say you've lived for hundreds of years. You have seen sciences born and thrive. A man land on the moon. The first robot go to mars. A teacher die in a rocket headed to space, a wall fall that kept a people divided, see the man next to you die because someone else said war was the only answer, seen planes crash into twin like towers, read in the new about Mr. president getting a blow job from someone that wasn't his way, saw something move from the grassy knoll, seen a black man beat and seen people riot in the streets more than once. Even humor has changed. What I am saying is it is these things that make a relationship important. We don't live forever so these moments are what it is all about. What were you doing at these moments in time? This what makes a man and woman relate to one another because truth be told we, man and woman, are as opposite as opposites can be.
Though it does not mean I would not fall in love with someone that was much younger or much older than me. I just wouldn't bring up moments in time that I knew she could relate to if she was younger. I would focus on the time she has been alive. That is why I am and will always be a student of history. It keeps me current no matter up.
Add on: I'm getting too deep. Have to do something about that. Are their any hot chicks that want to see my big cock?

Its never mattered to me and sometimes is a nice turnon to have big age gaps.
