age differences?

I think it all comes down to how the two people are in general, and I think it's the responsibility of the most mature one to make the correct decisions. Depending on the variance in age, you could heavily affect this persons mind set and change them drastically if you're not capable, for better or worse. Some people get a bit drunk on attention when they're getting it from someone of whom they respect. Let's say for example, that a twelve year old starts crushing on me for whatever reason. I wouldn't ignore her or anything like that, but I wouldn't take advantage of the situation either. I guess that's just me though.

to me age is does not matter but it does. for say u are 17 and i am 20 that would look bad on me and people will get the wrong idea about me. So to say both ways yes and no.

Nifes has a good point people look down on age difference at least until they realize it doesn't really matter. Even if it is a small age difference. Bigger age differences bring more problems but the main thing is to not worry about what other people think go with what you think is right as long as it's consensual it is okay in my opinion at least until you get to the point where you could be their parent..... then it starts getting creepy....

Questionable thoughts, I would think the bigger the age difference the more likely for the couples not to be on equal terms. Is likely the least mature will burden the other and will be treated like a child. And the younger will miss out on experiences because the older won't be able to keep up. I think is likely for some to get hurt and used. Is best to take the time and find the one you can do it all with and learn together. The bond will be much stronger that way. Just a thought.

I have to agree with Knight on that one. The younger ones tend to be the burden. At least in my experiences, all the women I have dated have been younger than me and tend to be very immature and childish. Even though I'm looking for older women now, I fear that I could be that same burden that the young ones were to me.

I've only dated one older man, and for the most part there wasnt any problems because of our ages. It depends on the people tbh. There will be some younger mature people/older childish ones and visa versa. As long as the two people can come past these differences, there shouldn't be a problem.

@vonkarma- I have to agree with you. Everything you just said about age is true. There are individuals who are hung up on age, though. I don't know what to say about them.
