I guess it depends on the ages of the couple. I am in a relationship with someone 11 years younger, however we meet when we were middle aged and been a couple for 21 years. I believe at some point age is no longer relevant when you both have a career, are financially independent and well basically, grown up. It matters more if you are compatible or at least support each other's interests. We have each other's backs, even now since he lives 2500 miles away. (we both had to take care of aging parents).
yeah i agree..age indeed becomes less relevant the older one gets. its different when two people are together lets say aged 50 and 61, in comparison to someone who is 20 and the other 35 lets say for exmple.
I totally agree, but just to play devil's advocate . Should the more dominant of the two take on more of the responsibilities of the relationship? Just throwing it out there....
you inspired me to talk about this hehe. but i think that age is still the factor that determines ones dominance per say in the relationship and the roles dont determine it
My last BF was 50 and i was 46. He was not that mature emotionally and cheated behind my back. I had more available money than him and paid a lot for meals out. I think it doesnt matter what age one is the shared expenses should be equally shared 50%. Just because one partner is younger doesnt mean they get to treat their BF like a walking ATM and take advantage .
Yeah i get what youre saying. But usually if one is wayy younger they usually make less money. Its different a relationship of 4 year age gap in the 40s, 50s and above. I say from experience, when i was 18 college student unemployed i was dating a 33 yo employed university graduate who lived alone payed rent had a stable job and plenty of life experience in general. it was his choice to be with me and therefore followed common sense knowing that i wasnt going to be able to provide for him financially. the relationship ended months later though for other reasons
You just gotta hang out alot and see if you click. On all points. The age issue is only an issue basically on the very young & very old spectrum. Anything in the 25 to 54 spectrum should mesh.
I would actually argue there is less compatibility WITH A 50 DATING A 40 because if a man wants a kid he's not going to date the older woman . biologically speaking that would be dangerous on the child . also it's a very dangerous misconception that an older person will be mature . AGE has nothing to do with how mature you are its your lifestyle . this whole video is playing with fire do you want to be very careful you don't end up in the bigotry category
yeah youre right. although im mentioning more regards to same sex relationships here but i should of clarified that. but yes having kids past 40 is a bad idea and not healthy. Regards to maturity, lifestyle is usually determined by age, since usually a teenager wont be working full time like an adult in their 40s would.
I agree with everything that you say, I think that this is the most polite and even tempered rant that I have ever heard
lol thanks!
Good points
thanks you

25 to 54 mesh? nah i doubt it tbh. maybe its a personal bias of yours? jc
