She was born in the 90's and he was born in the early 70's.
Look, as long as they wait until she's 18, there's nothing wrong with the age difference because then they would both be legal adults. Some girls are into older men. This guy will probably be happy that he can score an 18 year old when he's pushing 40.
Yea that's pretty bad since she's 18-19 and he's in his late 30s. If the dude graduated high school before the other one was even born, that's pretty rugged. I'm 25 and a few of my friends have even said it would be wrong for someone my age to date a chick who was 18-19. I don't agree, but apparently some people think that's weird.
It would be different if she was like 25 and he was 40-45. But the fact that she's just above the legal age is shady.
I never understood that. How is 25 too old to date an 18 year old when Hugh Hefner is 84?
My first husband was 10 years older than I was when we married. It was a huge gap. We were so different in every way. At first, it was exciting. He was financially secure, outgoing and charming. I was a sheltered college kid. We had a lot of fun until children came into the picture. He didn't want to change or grow. He was very set in his ways and was from another generation than I was. All those things that were exciting about our age difference became annoying to both of us. It was all fine as long as I wanted to do things his way, but as soon as I had an opinion of my own...His ideas on how to raise kids, what kind of food to eat, what kind of music to listen to, what kind of entertainment, everything was from a different era than I grew up in.
I am now in my 40's, remarried, happy, secure. I cannot imagine having anything in common with someone in their 20's. Heck, I have kids that age! Once someone is old enough to be your father, I think it's an unhealthy relationship.
I always wondered about that.
There was a gal I almost married. She was 18 and I was 28 at the time. I didn't think that would be good. Thanks for your thoughts.
I was 30...met a girl of 20...married her ...we had the same interests...18 yrs later....I still had the same interests [because at 30 you're pretty set in what you enjoy] she didn't [the chage from 20- 30 is tremendous. She is now my 2ndxwifewhatzername.... Despite the fact that we were PERFECTLY suited for one another [EXCEPT for the changing interests thingie] and we NEVER had so much as an argument in 18 yrs.
My boyfriend is going to be 29 next week. I am 52 years old. We've been living together for I guess six years now. He's actually the most compatible boyfriend I've ever had. We are on the same intellectual level. We both love motorsports, the same type of cars, dogs, the same kind of music ('80's and also classical music) and ethnic foods like Indian and Japanese. We also hate bad drivers and dumb people (those that lack commonsense or don't use their brains) with a passion. We can talk for hours on end. We treat each other as equals. We are best friends to each other.
I've always gotten along well with men that were either older or younger than I am. Older men are just so much more polite, cultured and gentlemanly. Younger men have more enthusiasm and life energy. Men my own age just seem tired and set in their ways. Maybe it's sort of a sibling rivalry dynamic, but I just don't get along with men my own age very well.
Also, as someone else posted earlier in this thread, women tend to live seven years older than men... so when there is an age difference where the woman is older, I just knock seven years off the difference right off the bat.
After 18, if there is REAL LOVE involved, it doesn't matter either way.
People who are obsessed with age to the point of sabotaging real love are $#!+.
As for my case, I want to find a woman to have my OWN children, but I have to look to younger women since many girls these days are having babies (plural) before age 22 (benchmark for college graduation)!
I’d been out of high school for 3 years when I met my boyfriend. He’d been out for almost 20.
Things are great in the beginning but they do change. He is now at an age where he wants to stay home most of the time, but I still want to get out there and live life. It’s hard.
