Topic: Is age an important factor in a relationship? (Read 649 times)
age is necessarily not a presiding factor in a relation, but in the africa traditional context, age is considered a key factor in a relationship, the society tend to shy away from a man dating or marrying an older woman. Thats africa for you. Love really dont matter if the man is younger. On a personal note i consider age as a factor in a relationship, i cannot date or marry a woman that is older than i am.
For me no, age its not really important in a relationship as long as they really love each other, so for me the age really not a factor even they have too much gap in their age. If they love and they understand each other no matter what in age they are, so why not we need to respect them, age is just a numbers. They in love so that will be not a factor.
Doesn't seem to be a big deal in Hollywood, remember when Ashton kutcher was hooked up with Demi Moore, that was a pretty large age difference. Also remember Ana Nicole Smith?
Also don't forget Hugh Hefner.

Yes. It is a BIG factor in a relationship. We all know that age does matter because people change as they mature. Although it depends on the couple, there will be a time that thing could have been different if you marry someone around your age. Hobbies or interest might be different when the couple have a big age gap. Family issues can be struggle as well. All things aside, if the couple loves each other, they will overcome any obstacle regardless of their age.
I strongly disagree that age doesn't matter. I believe that age is something to do with conforming with the law and a possible determinant of physical, psychological, and financial stability. I believe that when you have already reach a certain age, only then you will realize that you are ready and that you can put yourself in a relationship, a strong and serious relationship. Moreover, jail is just not a room! If you truly love a person, you have to wait and be patient. Even if it is right love, of it is in the wrong time, then it is still not right.
in terms of relationships. Age is not a disadvantage.
I enjoy older peoples company. I can as well learn from their past experiencel..
so In my opinion the most important factor in a relationship is TRUST.....

Not really age doesn't matter what in relationship , it depends on understanding because there is no way two people walk together except they agree.
Yes, it matters, just like anything else matters. Both should be above age of consent and have enough life experience to know what they want in a partner, and they should be able to relate to eachother on a certain level. It's not always bad for someone who is 20 years apart, for example, to date eachother but it may be more difficult than two people of the similar age. If I had a kid who was 20, I would raise my eyebrows if a 60 year old was after him/her, but I would not mind if my kid was 40, for example, and a 60 year old wanted to date them. It's all relative and depends on the context.
However, I often think - why would a older person, like a 40 year old man, be going after a 20 year old woman when he can be with another woman of the same age who is more mature and more relatable? Obviously it's not because of the young woman's "personality", because what does she offer than an older woman cannot? Youth and looks. So the man is specifically going after the young one for her hotness. See, this is what I don't agree with. There is nothing wrong with liking someone for their youth and looks, just don't blow smoke up people's asses about "connecting" and liking their "personality".

Well its not even in the old age and modernage. Age dont have limit it terms of relationship it depends on how both people hamdle it.

Age is an important factor in a relationship because a person's maturity is determined by the age of the person. If a relationship is long established, it will be vulnerable to chaos. Because generally the older ones are economical, while the young ones still have a lot of will. Sex problems are also a trigger problem. Because the old lazy while young lust is still very large. prison is space but we will not get out of the room without permission from the authorities. so it makes me more comfortable free than in jail.
Age is not the most important thing to me in a relationship, but how they keep harmony with each other. Many parents even married a girl / young men
I don't think it matters, as you grew up, you become mature. So only way of loving may be changed as we grew up.
In my opinion, a relationship may get more strength as we grew up because Patience is proportional to our age and Having patience can help to understand each other better in your relationship.

There's this saying age doesn't matter , and jail is just a room . Is age really matter in a relationship?
Yes, age is important factor in relationship. If you are some what older, you get to understand the situation better and be better help when in need of understanding.
No,For me age is definitely not a factor in a relationship.Because i think,if two person really loved each other and they understand each other also no matter what in age there are they can be in a relationship.Aslong as they love and understand each other,so let them be in that stage of their life.They can do whatever they want.
NO, Age Is Just A Number: Maturity's What Really Matters In Relationships. “The heart wants what the heart wants” is a cliché that couldn't be more accurate.

For me yes i will agree about age doesn`t really matter as long as you love the person and you know how to value those things that you spend with him/her. No matter how old are you or who you are, because love does not base on what you look like if it really hits you, it gives what we call spark. 
Haha. Relationship I think depends on the maturity of the individuals. Age is just numbers.
When you are dating someone as old as your parent you will have to realize that age is indeed not a number, people will claim that you are in the relationship just because you want something from your partner.
Age doesn't determine love, number can't show how much you care for someone, when you love from the heart nothing can stop the love you have for the person, I mean not even numbers called age...

Relationship really depends on understanding, if the two partners can understand each other, then age is not a factor, but just a number
I agreed to that. For me age is just a number. I've been in a relationship with much older of my age (13 years older actually) but i really don't mind with that age gap as long as i can level the maturity of his mind and attitude then there's no problem at all. Perfect relationship will need each other's trust, understanding, patience, forgiveness, and most important in the picture is love (take out pride in the picture). 😊 Relationship really depends on understanding, if the two partners can understand each other, then age is not a factor, but just a number
In my opinion, depending on the context we see the age. for example, a 30 year old should not be pursuing a relationship with a minor, nor should anyone who isn't a minor. Another example, a gold digging 30 year old pursuing an elderly rich person, while not illegal it is certainly immoral. It's reasonable to believe a young lady dating an old man has an alternative motive besides love. I think, age really matter in a relationship, of course it does and it does have repercussions, now, how you take those repercussions is also part of the deal of whether it does or if it will affect you.. Age affects us physically and emotionally. Arguably experience comes with age, sometimes it does not.

If you are saying that a woman is older than a man and a man is older than a woman then I think there is no problem with that, as long as they love each other but if a woman is just very young like 14 yrs old then I think that is not good for a person to have a girlfriend or boyfriend, because, in that age, school is more important than being in a relationship.
I don't think age is important in a relationship. In a short time someone can be familiar and someone can do anything for life leadership a long time also. Life is very important to us. We should live to others with respect, trust and understanding. That's way a relation can run fast. Thanks..
A true relationship is not about age. Not about distance. Not about communicating to each other everyday. But is all about trust and loyalty. The trust of a girl to her man. The loyalty of man to his girl.
if I think age does determine a relationship, a good relationship must be based on a good thought too, and good thinking is mostly owned by someone who already has a fairly mature age, we often encounter that the youth and children in a relationship have less good thoughts and too hasty, so the future results are not as desired, this is why in a relationship requires a sufficient age in decision making
I don't think age is an important factor in a relationship.
Age is just a number. Love is what matters. If you love yourselves, then age should not be a factor.

I think it depends on so many things, like maturity and views. I think if you like a person, you get along, then you have nothing to lose.
No. Age has never been an issue in relationships. If two persons love each other, age, gender, or distance will never be issues for them. True love exists in many different forms, yet true love doesn't require anything but unconditional LOVE.
Of course age matters,whatever people say kinda “love doesn’t have boundaries ,bla bla”.Look around and hardly ever meet couples which have a big difference in age,if they are together it’s usually because someone gets benefits,but nothing about love.Different ages-different interests,point of view,attitude to life.Even if one of them is super interesting,adorable and nice person they will face a problem of miss communication.8 years is a maximum age difference in my opinion.

Well, in my opinion it doesn't matter. It will not affect for the two person who truly loves each other. Take for an example, Prince Harry and Meghan got married to think the age gap and the status they belong. If you love theirs no boundaries on it.
Between the people (who are in a relationship with each other) involved, it shouldn't as long as they understand each other and are committed to being in the relationship with the other person. Legally though, it's a different story.
No, because as long as those persons are truly in loved with each other then, respect should be offered to them. Here in pur country, there were a lot of featured stories in news, social media or television about those persons who love each other regardless of having 10, 20, or 30 years of age gap. I don't really have any problem with that. As long as they are respecting me as a person, then that's the time that they deserved to have my respect. I respect that they are just humans who are spreading love. Who don't want to be in love?
There's a 'well known' mathematical formula for the socially acceptable age difference, even though in my opinion age doesn't really matter. Avoid disparaging looks by sticking to the below 'rule'.
Divide your age by two and add seven, and that should be the youngest age for your partner.
Aged 20 - partner should be 17 or older
Aged 30 - partner should be 22 or older
Aged 40 - partner should be 27 or older
Aged 50 - partner should be 32 or older
Aged 60 - partner should be 37 or older etc. etc.

age is not the issue, the most important is consistent in the relationship.
To mean age is an important factor in a relationship because if the gap is wide they will see things differently and that will bring some really avoidable unpleasant situations. However, this is still contingent on the level of exposure and how much of human relation knowledge the people in the relationship have anyways.
Nop, what matters is to see if both parties truly have a spark and are mature about having a relationship.
Age doesn't really matter. But everything must be within reason. It is easier for a young woman to be with a man her age or a little older/younger because they have the similar views on life and topics for conversation.
I share your view partially because where I come from,when an older lady dates a younger man in age,more often than not,inferiority sets in for the man,such that when disputes arise the ego of the man is threatened. The lady has to go extra mile to show shes indeed respectful.in the end the relationship may not last.

Sometimes it is, sometimes it is not, it is a very subjective aspect. For example, for French Prime Minister Macron age is probably important, since he has a relation with a woman who could be his mother, which means he likes old and wise women to protect him and show him the way.

Definitely not, Love is sometimes unconditional and unpredictable.
You could possibly fall in love to a person, doesn't matter if they're younger or older than you and its not a factor in a relationship as long as you love each other and your'e both consenting adults.
However, age does matter if one is still a minor and the other one is not, especially if the man is older than the other and she is not at the right age yet. It is definitely against the law and its a serious offense.

Not really in most cases, where its important is in terms of maturity, age is not the factor in any relationship at all if the parties involve love and respect each other the rest is history! The most important thing in life is to figure out what you want and who you want to spend the rest of your life with. Understanding in any relationship is the key to the sustainability of that relationship not age.
Age is just a number hook up with who ever you find worthy spending your life with and forget the age!

For some age conscious, yes. But for some, it is not. As long as you are in love and understand each other, age is no longer an issue. There are girls and guys who choose older men or women because for them older men and women are more matured and experienced in some things. We cannot teach our heart whose to love. If our heart choose the one older than I, we follow our heart most of the time. Age is should not be an issue in a relationship as long as they are single and free.
No. In this modern age even old men marry young women, and most of them are not forced marriage. Maybe the reason is younger women are looking for a father figure, that's why they are marrying older men.
