question for the ladies: what if you were 27 and the guy you were dating was 24? (married, woman)

I'm 24 and a few months, she just turned 27.

I don't care about the age difference at all, but I think she might. Would you care/have cared about that difference at that age?

There is no AGE difference between 24 and 27 you're of the same GENERATION.

An age difference would be 24 and 47. THAT'S an age difference.

My husband is 6 years YOUNGER than I am.

There's nothing we can't relate to each other about it's not an OBSTACLE at all.

be real, some women do have a complex about dating younger guys... just trying to get a gauge of how prevalent(sp) it is

It's not very prevalent. Maybe like 10% of women would really care about that.

Really, I don't think someone would think that would be an age difference in your 20's. Now if she was 18 y.o. and you were 15 y.o., then that's an age difference.

Not prevalent at all with that little difference of age. The only way I would think someone would mention the difference in age is if they want an excuse to get out of the relationship or not to get into the relationship.

That's not a big age difference at all. It would be different if it was say 21 and 18, but 27-24 is nothing to worry about.

Oh, ok. Unless she mentioned something, I'm thinking it's a little bit too soon to start getting worried about this.

You be real. GO meet the girl and stop worrying.

That's nothing. I've been dating a guy for 7 months, he's 24 and I'm 31. We've never actually even talked about the age difference, I tend to forget about it unless we're taunting each other with sarcastic jokes from time to time

Really depends on the individuals. Speaking in general terms, that's not a substantial age difference. Also in generalities, women tend to mature a bit faster than men. If she's ready to settle down and start having kids at 27 while you're still in the partying stage at 24, it could be a mismatch. Or you could be on the same page. So I can see why there would be some concern, but there's really no way to know what you have until you meet.
