@SnakeyManGuy: How are you representing yourself? What kind of guys are you talking to? How are you meeting these guys?

Questions you need to ask yourself when you want to enter a relationship. But yes I have been on both sides of being the player / getting played, it is what it is I guess

@dontran18: Omg my twin?

@Rtyu: you going to a mental hospital? You'd be the third basiler to be admitted to one

@Rtyu: yea like @metaghost4 disturbing

Personally, I don't see a problem with it.
If two people love each other, I don't see why they shouldn't be together just because they're 6 years apart, or so on.

@Rtyu youve gotten really weird since last year

completely okay even when it's illegal tbh lol if yall get along and like eachother i dont see why the heck not!

I prefer when the boy is older than the girl. Like 2-3 years ~. The boy that I'm actually with (not "really" boyfriend, still a little bit too young to have one) is 2 months younger than me. </3

[quote=easyrolling]My boyfriend is 5 years older than me and we get along awesome. It's actually nice dating someone mature and who has a concept of monogamy and being truthful compared to what I've dealt with dating guys my age.[/quote]

Seriously, my number one complain about being gay is that every time I find a guy I'm interested in they just want to sleep around. I've just decided to buy 9 cats and become a hermit.

If the guy is like near mid-age, and the girl is 20-30 then she is probably a gold digger and the guy is a rich creep. They're perfect for each other.

But usually, it should be the guy is older by 1-3 years. No more than 3. Some girls I know like younger guys, kind of creepy because that would be like their younger brother.. cougars.

Mathematical equation for age creepiness factor:

Guy's age divided by 2 plus 7. If the girl is younger than that, it's creepy.

EDIT: Although I'm not sure if you're supposed to round up or down. Probably down.

Females are [i]supposed[/i] to mature faster than males, so I guess it's good that the male is older than the female a few years apart, so the maturity is somewhat on the same level. (or so I heard).

Most of my mates says "Age does not matter or age is just a number"
As long as you love the person I guess o.o

I'd probably judge if it so happens that they get married sometime after the younger one turns 18.
I guess if it is within high school - high school it's ok but high school - middle school 7th grader or something is kinda weird. college - high school is fine as long as the gap isn't something like freshman hs - 3rd year college student. But idk anyone like that.

@ritopls I'm surprised that you didn't say black girls like you usually would[/quote]

Nah man, black girls are great; it's black guys who don't have me as their #1 fan. It's kind of like how I love Asian girls but kind of dislike Asian guys.

TLDR didn't read, I'm just a giant racist on the inside. QQ

@Zoneflare4: Lmao, I dont think 12 year olds play house anymore.

Eh, so long as they love each other.

My uncle is 10 years older than my aunt. What's really crazy, though... when he was driving around with a friend one day, he saw her walking down the road. He turned to his friend and literally said "That is the woman I'm going to marry."

I agree with the first post
Also I think it's fine for like a 16-17 Y/O to date someone who is a few years older.

I want to upgrade to a new model every year.

My boyfriend is 5 years older than me and we get along awesome. It's actually nice dating someone mature and who has a concept of monogamy and being truthful compared to what I've dealt with dating guys my age.

"Age is just a number"

A buddy of mine had to register as a sex offender when he was 19 because he was dating a 17 year old.

Scorpio's Tip of the Day:
Make sure the parents are cool with you, and don't anger them...

I don't think you should judge relationships based on highschool experiences, because it really is a niche that does not translate well to real world scenarios. I've dated girls up to 9 years younger than myself since leaving highschool with zero issues.

I mean...
When I was in 5th grade, I """dated""" a girl a whole grade level above me
Like damn, I'm good

I think it definitely matters the younger you are. A 13 year old is too naive, stupid and immature to know what they want and let's be honest, anyone willing to date a 13 year old when they're 17+ are complete losers that have tons of problems (srs). However, a 30 year old dating a 20 year old can be okay if they both lead healthy lives. I mean that at a certain age people do begin to mature and know what they want in life. This may not be the case for everyone (lord knows age doesn't correlate 100% with maturity) but if the couple has a good idea what they want, they realize the limitations and obstacles they will face with the arrangement and are genuinely happy with each other, then it can totally work out.

The difference becomes negligible as you grow older. The difference between a 16 year old dating a 20 year old is a lot different from a 36 and a 32 year old dating

I don't when I'm older but as if I'm 18 and dating a 12 year old... I'd feel ashamed of myself....[/quote]

I'm 16 at the moment, and I wouldn't mind dating a 13 or 20 year old.

it's fine if they're at least 18 or older. tbh, a 15 y/o and an 18 y/o dating is fine by me. 15 and 25? no way jose.

I welcome it, but it's probably just because I find girls my own age to be annoying. Especially white girls, ew.

My dad is 24 years apart than my mom.

mom and dad are 9 years a part and they got my bro when my mom was only 17.

so yeah depends on the people and stuff but at mexico it didn't matter unless your family.

is your name matt?

It probably is good to preface it with that; I'll edit it now.

[quote=PoofCake]That would obviously apply for a relationship between two people in their 20's and 30's, but a person in their 20's should not be dating someone in their early teens. That's ridiculous. People completely bloom and change throughout highschool, after puberty ends the general growth rate slows down very significantly.[/quote]

I already said I was talking about two consenting adults.

[quote=taotapp]I don't know; I kind of like age differences. One person's older, has life experience, and provides his/her partner with that experience, expanding that individual's perspective. The younger partner, on the other hand, contributes their youthful energy and their zest for life that can only come with being young and relatively naive to the ways of the world. That sort of attitude is contagious. That give and take relationship would set the groundwork for a powerful bond that grows over time and sustains the two long after the old one has imparted all of his or her wisdom, and the young one has spent his or her vitality.

I realize this viewpoint is controversial, and was probably used by some sick people to justify some horrible things in Rome, but in my example I'm referring to two people who are both consenting adults. Honestly, my viewpoint probably stems from unresolved issues with my father, so it's fine if you disagree. I'm not discouraging same age relationships; I just think age gaps are kind of cool.[/quote]

As long as they get along and have fun who the hell cares as long as both are legal adults.

My parents are 8 years apart, it's not really a big deal once they're both 18 lol

It's not the age gap that bothers me at times (depending on case though), it's the maturity level (or the one you should have according to your age)

like a 26 dating a 16 year old.. hell no. I guess it's kinda okay for e.g. 36 and 46 (I don't think people change much within that time)
I think the max gap I would personally take is like 5 years

The gap can increase as you get older
30 and 40? sure, why not?
10 and 20? HELL NO
