But then I have to deal with the religion part... It's just much easier to be single. Also I hate breakups. They are always messy.
The choices given are at 20-29 only. I prefer females 18-35. Since im 28. I kinda want it in the age range thats possible to have kids.
i think within 5 above, 8 below is about right for my current age (32). there might be some leeway for more, but typically any younger and people just seem too immature, and older i have a hard time finding anything in common with them.
Don’t really care as long as it’s legal and I actually like the person. That said there’s going to be a lot more pressure from inside and outside the relationship as the gap gets bigger. For clarity my ex-wife was 26 and I was 36 when she out of nowhere told me she liked me and I had to think about some of this. I don’t think it’s so much about power differences, the couple would decide they are or aren’t fine with or need to fix that while dating and sort it out. The issue is people are generally in different life cycles the farther apart the ages are. When you friend might be interested in kids her 20 year older boss will be sorting what kind of retirement he can afford. It can still work, but depends on both their mental states.
I ideally prefer someone older than me. I dont see guys my age/ younger my age romantically. I am fine if it's upto 10 years older I guess. Generation gap? .... Hmm.... I don't thats a problem unless it actually exists, people can always be updated simultaneously. I think the difference might be in terms of maturity, opinions, priorities in life etc. For me, fun maybe a priority, but for a 25 year old, work and earning maybe a priority... I might be looking just for a date, they might be looking for a partner to marry and live a stable life rather than romantic and exciting life....
It reallyy depends on how old you are. I'm speaking from experience: Usually, guys/girls want to get married around 25-30. That said, if the guy is around 30 and the girl is around 20, it would cause problems because the girl hasn't experienced anything in the real world. So its like marrying a hormonal teenager. Its not a good idea if you want to have kids immediately; On the bright side, you can have as many kids as you want to. A guy marrying an older girl is a big no, coz the relationship could turn into a yandere; can it work? Yes, but hoboy do they need a lot of therapies. Best scenario? Guy around 26, girl 24. Worst scenario? Guy 20, girl 30. Earth shattering scenario? Guy 20, girl 60. (Gigolo/gold digger alert) Go to jail scenario? Guy 30, girl 20. But they were married 10 years ago.
Pretty sure most people misunderstood the poll and thought it was asking what age group they were comfortable dating with, not age GAP.
Honestly, I'm okay with five years older or younger than me. XD i don't know. Although I got to date those with the same ages and those I have 3 years younger than me... Tho I don't look older than them, its the other way around, so all's well.
I think as long as there's respect for each other, responsible enough and can cover each other's weaknesses the age really is just a number. Maturity wise, everybody still have immature side but as long as it does not affect the relationship in a negative way then it's ok. I'm sure once or twice, some liked someone older than them before
