Some article I saw recently said a 'study' had found that the ideal age gap between couples is 4 years and four months, or 52 months. Of course such studies are just fronts for someone wanting to sat something, in this case, they interviewed about 1000 men and women each and they gave their personal opinions which they compiled. My opinion is that when in love, age is just a number, still I know those numbers plays a role in how compatible a couple can be.
Some times, there's the so-called generational gap, things people of a certain age range are exposed to growing up, and which they end up enjoying and sharing in common. Other times, it's the expectation of a certain level of respect by the older person, usually the man, from his younger partner, and when she tries to be to over-cozy, trouble may ensue. So what do you think, use the poll below, or share in the comments, thanks.
For me age is just a number but I will vote 1 to 5 years
ReplyDeleteAge is not just a number when it comes to marriage as far as am concern.Women are naturally smarter in rational thinkn when it comes to decision making concerning the home,so if care is not taking it will be as if is the woman that is controlln the man,but by the time there is enough gap in there age difference it will be easy for them to catch up in the middle.All said and done i will vote for 6-10years.
ReplyDeleteJust because I prefer my men a bit more older than me, I vote man older 6-10 years. Nothing more than 13 though. Yeah, maybe it's weird but I think it has to do with maturity. Women, I think are more mature than men.
ReplyDeletewomen age earlier so i fil a gap of 5 -10yr is preferable btw d lady n d man.so we dnt get old 2geda.buh age atimes matter bt it shud nt b a criteria
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I agree with the age brackets here o. I'm a 'modern man' and my fiancee is 5 months older than I am. I believe age is just a number, maturity is not always directly related to age as most people believe. When I was looking for a partner, age wasn't one of the factors for me. I wanted a smart, intelligent and responsible woman as a partner and she was perfect for me. Would it have made any difference if she was 3 years younger or 3 years older? No. The age subject never even comes up between us, we understand, love and respect each other and when we have our differences, we settle them like responsible adults. But it is a matter of preference though, what is good for A might not work for B. I think you just have to roll with what you are comfortable with. Do I think women are more mature than men? I beg to differ! Maturity has no correlation with sex. Maturity often has to do with upbringing and in some cases experience. My 2 cents. As for the voting parameters, there should be an entry for "Age doesnt matter" :)
ReplyDeleteYour comment makes so much sense. I concur with everything thing you have said though i personally have a thing for men much older than me(6-10yrs). I think my up bringing shaped it up.
DeleteI am a man and I think I want to be older than my wife, but that does not mean women are more mature, please.
ReplyDeleteabeg, what is ideal for me is not ideal for John. Marriage should be between 2 consenting adults ... it doesn't matter if one is 70 and the other 20. So far none is being forced into it.
ReplyDeleteAm 6 yrs older than my husband, but u can never tell. He displays maturity more than some older men I have dated. I can't be more happier.
ReplyDeleteThey are very precise oh. 4 yrs and 4 months. lol.
ReplyDeleteWith time, I've discovered the older the men, the better for me! Same age group or younger men don't cut it for me! So it's 6-10 range!
