Age Gap Relationships

I think it depends how old you are really. Five years is nothing when you're both in your 30s+ but it's loads when you're in your teens.

Meh. It all depends on the person. Allthough I think anything over 10-15 years is pushing things a bit.

^agree... 10-15 is too big... it's okay 5 or 6 years

<_< .. two timer, I think we should divorce now and get the break up sex over with

let's just skip that first part and accelerate to the second part, shall we?

I think it depends how old you are really. Five years is nothing when you're both in your 30s+ but it's loads when you're in your teens.

there are just so many factors... I mean, this is generally true, but of course there are many exceptions.

personally, I might like looking at a Scarlett or Jessica (Biel/Alba), but they seem very young to me. so it's not so much the actual age, but how young they are inside.

I think really both people need to have certain things in common, and maturity is a big one. if you're twice the age of the other person but they're on your maturity level, fine as long as it's legal. sobriety level is another good place to be equal.

I think... whatever tickles your pickle... it's all good when it's legal

you love that expression, don't you ?

and i agree

Did you take some of Mini's ass out of your siggy! <_<

yep... i said i was gonna do it

That's pure evil! Evil I say!

I believe that was a different siggy, but then it changed back to this one .. Daira was in it ... etc

so SS, you are missing that little butt, aren't you!?

what a puppy!! *pets*

so I think this thread should have some new life. it took a siggy/avy turn, but everything is going to be okay...

so what's really involved in having a relationship with someone out of your generation (generation generally being called a 7-year span that defines a changing of hands from the same 'era' of human lifespan)?

let's exclude anyone that's outside of 'legal' range.

there are a lot of factors involved:

-maturity

-relationship maturity

-other experience / how to deal with life

-needs from a mate at that stage in your life, which will change/evolve

-how your friends/family feel about the age gap

-how society at large feels about it

^-- the previous two things being mostly how those things affect you and the mate

-baby wants/needs

-career and education needs/goals

I have lots more to say on this, feel free to chime in...

go on.

so I think the biggest issue is maturity. there can't be a huge gap there, unless that's what both people want. the sugardaddy/sugarmama/sex toy thing. of course, there is likely a lot of baggage attached to that.

after that, relationship maturity... which is something entirely different. experience in relationships hopefully allowed a person to take thing more in stride, to be a better communicator, and to resolve things better. I imagine it's possible for one person to be well advanced, as long as they were patient, and there wasn't a lot of condescention.

and for making a life together, both people would have to be willing to settle down into a fairly mutual lifestyle. that could be very complicated

It's practically no difference at all, depending on the situation. how far the couple with get and how long they'll be together depends on relationship skills... how much you're willing to give up for the person, how much time you're willing to spend, how well you two communicate, etc etc etc. so if you got all that down, won't care about age.

these things can be an issue between any couple, not only the one with the age-gap.

the gap is not mostly an issue for the lovers, it's the enviroment and reactions,r esponses that reveals a person's feelings or attitude to the couple, can give a hard time. Even when both people admitt they are able to withstand other's people words.

that's what deserted islands are for! I'll swing my raft by for you...

then do.
