Older or Younger?

If you are going into a relationship, what would you choose? Someone who is older than you or would you prefer someone who is younger than you? If I were to choose, I'd really like guys who were older than me because I think they were matured and I know they can handle better relationship than having a relationship with someone who is younger than me. But of course in the end, what matters most is that the love you have for each other.

Agree with you! I don`t like the guys that are younger than me, because they are so imature, and scared, and i need a real man in my life, who can make decisions when it`s time , and protect me when i need. To offer me a good life, and to love me, to respect me as a person, with childish reactions.

I strongly agree with you Miss Skade, and aside from that they are also mature when it comes in planning for our future when they already decided to brought up their own family, and they were more responsible.

I wonder about 'the relationship' you mentioned. What do you mean? I think you are talking about the relationship between lovers, finding someone you like? Normally, girls like someone who is older.However, I think it depends on who you gonna meet. There are a lot of people have psychological maturity than their real age because of their living experience.I don't mind loving someone younger than me if he can make me feel safe.Hope you can find someone you really love .

Well, thank you for comment your layla. Don't worry I think his half way to meet me. Hehehe... Well, I don't care how long would I wait for that special someone for me, at least I would already matured with our relationship once I have met that special someone. And yeah your right it still depends on whom you gonna met in the future, what important is that you both love each other so much.

I prefer to choose an older guy because they are more matured and responsible. Unfortunately, when love strikes you, it does not choose what age. Just like mine, my bf is younger than I am. So far, I have no problem and no issue about the relationship. Age is never an issue to us.

I think it really doesnt matter if you are having a relationship with someone younger or older as long as both of you are willing to work out your relationship. I had a boyfriend who was 5 years older than me and it didnt work out between the two of us simply because we were not willing to. My sister has a boyfriend way younger than she is and its a good thing because they are both willing to work out for their relationship and now they are planning to get married.

Wow that's great, well I think in the end, what matters most is the feeling that they have for each other and how much they are willing to work out on their relationship and much they are willing to hold on each other.

Mm, here's the concept - Guys tend to choose girls younger than them to make themselves feel more young about themselves. Whereas girls tend to pick on older men for what you said, maturity..either that or money.

I think you're right Diamond, But most of these days some reasons were because of money, while my reason is the maturity of guys, and guys who were older than me tends to pamper me better than those who were younger than me.

It is natural for girls to choose guys older than themselves and the same with the guys. They could be of the same age as well, if you happen to fall in love with one of your mates in college. Anyways, you don't really think that much about age when you decide to be with each other for life.

I personally prefer older guys, not too much older, just like a year or so. For some reason the idea of dating a younger guy isn't appealing to me, it seems more like babysitting that an equal relationship. It's probably because I'm still in College where the younger years are the bane of your existance :P Birdie -

what do you mean by "going into a relationship"? dating someone or getting married to sb?In my mind ,i'd like to date someone who is yonger than me ,which i think most of men will agree .it is men's hunch ,no biggie .but if you mean to get married to sb ,i would take it really seriously.love is weird .sometimes,you don't even know why you have a crush on sb ,but you just feel it .you know she or he is the one .so ages is not a factor which should be considered when falling in love with someone.

personally, i would prefer an older guy.. im the kind of person who likes to take charge of things around me, but sometimes i like to sit back and let someone decide for me.. and that's where my preference for older guys comes in.. i trust the judgments of older guys than the young ones.. with their age and experience, i think older guys are wiser, mature and more responsible.. so if i let someone take charge, i might as well go for the older guys..

Well like majority of the women, I also want my partner to be older than me. But I ended up having a younger partner. I guess its really true that in the end, what matters is the love we have for each other. Age will never be a factor once you're in love with each other but as time goes by, I believe that sometimes it can affect the relationship. But of course its u to the couple how to handle it perfectly.

It is very important that you both love each other. But love is the result of actions that derives from selflessness and willingness to forgive and forget. I believe that age does coincide with the level of maturity a person may have. Mainly because the older you become, the more chances you've had to gain experiences that you could have learned from and dealt with. It also depends on a person's fundamentals and how they are used to handling situations whent they arise. Some people spend their entire lives acting out of immaturity because they've never had to deal with a situation without being spoonfed etc. The people who've had that one life experience that made them see everything differently may be good candidates, and if close to your age, may not make a difference if they are younger or older than you are. With situations of that sort, however, there are chances for side affects from going through traumatic situations as a person may not fully recover mentally/physically.

Most guys would prefer a younger women but to me it really doesnt matter. She cant be too old or too young(definitly a no no). As long as she looks good, can be serious, have a good time, makes me happy, and i love her it really doesnt matter to me.
