| Now of course age does matter, let's say if the guy is above 18 and the female is below 18, of course that's a big no no. Does age really matter though? My grandma is 8 yrs. Older than my grandpa and they been together for over 50 yrs. So when you find somebody and if you guys get along great and the chemistry is good then age shouldn't matter, right?

| To me there are so many other criterion that factor in besides age.
There is attraction, maturity, race, compatibility, education level, morals, spirituality and sanity just to name a few. So age matters to those who lets it matter and isn't really a big factor compared to some of the factors I've listed.

| Well I think that there is a big difference of 20 years or more. There's a generation gap.

| A generation gap....
that is not a negative. I love music and people of all ages,
including the current!
Each person has a set of values they bring to the table...if we are
like minded, often chemistry develops....
I liked George's answer...
there are so many variables...open our minds & our hearts..
we are all intertwined in this world...
how many do we actually FIT with???
I do not limit my horizon view... I found I can reinvent myself to meet
the needs and personality of the two people involved. Amazing how we
can adapt....when we love the mind, integrity, and wholesomeness of the
other person...they make us so glad to get out of bed, and into bed too!
I have been a Cougar, in my last relationship, (significient age difference)
(8 years together worked beautifully),
and much younger than my marriage of 20 years...(he passed away)
he was much OLDER.

| It all depends on how young a person is. Anyone over 18 that went near my 16 year old daughter would be in for a world of hurt. I would unleash the fury of hell on that person. The same would go for an older women who went near my boys. Once you hit 30 though I think the gap closes quickly

But I am 13 years older than my son's father and that did not work for me!
So it depends......

| I totally agree with you jamijoy. If I had a 15 or 16 year old daughter and there was anybody over 18 trying to get near her, then yes they would be in a world of hurt. I agree with you 100 percent.

| I think age only matters to the two people involved...(well, except the law, if you're not 18)...
Each age bracket has it's own criteria....there is no one answer for all....Actually, at MY age, most men on the dating scene are younger...But, I'm retired and want to share the freedom I've earned. I don't want to be with a man (as wonderful as he may be) if he still has children living at home and that severely reduces the time available for him to spend with me...And, I would never want him to feel he has to make a choice.
Some of the age differences may have caused the breakup of marriages, but I'm betting there were many other factors, too.
Just my thoughts.

| Really, the age factor should be just a number. But as they say, and more importantly, does your "maturity" match your age? My Ex was 7 years younger and that never bother anyone but our parents for some reason?? I usually won't consider anyone on this site that's more then 5 ot 7 years younger then me either because I have this selfconscious feeling that I'm being looked at as an "Old Man". AND, I usually also won't consider women that are older then I am, especally when they put it in their profile that they are looking for younger guys, because usually they are control freaks.
