Here's what I've been wondering lately. I have some friends who still has have girlfriends from highschool. That's great and all. But being the same age as their gfs doens't seem like a good idea to me. Let's say they are 24 (they arn't). Now we all know women should have children before 30 years old to decrease chances of having problems with their children. So that means, if they stay together, they will likely marry in 2-3 years and then have to have kids in a year or so. Financially, that might be a problem for them and i'm not so sure my friends realizes how little time he has left. What i'm getting at here is, do you guyz or galz think it's better for guys to date girls at least a few years younger then they are when you reach a certain point in your life. Like after highschool or university I mean i see several reasons for it, first, it gives them more time to make sure they are making the right decisions, so that they arn't rushed into anything second, gives them time to build financially for a family, house, etc... Third, gives them more time to do things that can't be done with a family or newborn. (travelling, backpacking, etc) I guess if the couple doesn't mind being together quickly then sure, why not ? but anyways, do you guys think this is a problem I should bring up in case they havn't considered it. ________ Vaporizers
i don't see a problem with the same age say u date sum1 a few years younger, wen u get to 24 then what? ur still gonna b in the same financial problem in the end, its down the people themselves if they know what they're doing and can think for themselves, there shouldn't be any issue wen u kinda start ur career, ur not really gonna have any/much time to travel/holiday especially wen u wanna develop ur career to be better off financially
Why do you want people get married just one year after meeting? Ok, some are hurry, but most aren't. They want to profit of their young age to do many things they couldn't make when they will be married or will have a child. To have a child, it's same. Sure, it's better, according to doctors, women make a child before 30, but now, medecine have made a lot of progress to help people in this way. If a couple is young but both earn money and think they are ready for that, why not, as you said. Some are older and still not ready to get married and make a family. Maybe a guy of 24, or a girl, is not so hurry and want to profit with someone younger than him/her. Maybe it's just because they have an attraction for younger people. The problem can be the same with a couple with both people in same age: one can be ready for marriage and child, the other not. Everything is in minds, I think. Not in age.
I don't think the age difference is so much a problem. Getting married is a decision that you make and when a person decides to do that is up to them. Some people can be 40 and still not be ready to make the commitment or be ready financially. But there are a lot of young couples are getting married before 30 or around there. It's like they have to get married before that age and they just end up marrying whoever they are dating at the time. Like one of my friend's sister broke up with her boyfriend from high school when she first went to university and then randomly started going out with him again recently and just last summer they got married. She's 27 now. I know they love each other but I can't help but think that they just "settled" for someone so they can get married and have kids before they get too old. So maybe dating someone your own age would give you the same time frame to do things. Actually a good thing?
Medically speaking, women have up to age 35 to have babies and it would still be minimal or nil complications. When speaking of marriage, its between two persons and if they are willing to risk it together (financial, emotional, etc...), why not? This might even do them good, maybe it would even make them bond stronger together after enduring those hardships together. Getting married is not an overnite thing and besides, your friends have known each other since high school and that if their relationship is going strong, why worry?
Who cares, does that mean you shouldn't date someone that you may like because their age is off your radar?
I don't think it is a problem about dating with the same age people. it is not all same aged girls look like your friends' girlfriends. It depends how they grow up and how their parents taught them. Different education has a different character. In some overseas countries, the parents would teach their children to study sex, to teach them how to protect themselves and if their child has a baby, what they need to do. In some Asian countries, some parents would teach their children how to finance their money, how to save money and how to use their money. Sometime, it is good for the same aged people together, they can easy communication and easy to understand the same age of people's feeling. Additional it is a way to find girlfriend in the high school or in university. Since some girls met their boyfriends for 2 years from their first met, they would go to get marry. Some people want to have a couple life, they may have a lot of future plans. So they want to get marry. But some is rush. It is depended different people. some people may need advices from friends. Some people may not need it.
it's always better for a guy to be slightly older than the girl, however that shouldn't be the determining factor of being with someone.
I don;t really mind if my girl is a few years younger or older, the only thing that matters is that we have the connection =)
I dont see any problems for lovers of the same age... You can prefer having an older boyfriend... but same age is no problem? As long as guy and girl have the connection... and like eachother... It shouldnt be a problem.
i actually prefer dating someone of the same age.. sometimes it's hard to connect when your maturity levels are really different.. but then again.. boys the same age can be super immature.. but as long as it works out.. the age doesn't rly matter
I always believe age doesnt matter. As long as both parties are serious and all, it will work out....
