Hello dong, Inter racial marriages mostly are of this gap of age. Well, there are many factors to consider in marrying someone!. There are things that made our naked eyes cant able to see but our hearts do. Love can make one blind to see the physical appearance. A college mate of mine just married last November to a certain retiree somewhere in US. They have even more 20 years of gap. She is now very happy with that guy. The kind of caress she felt and the love she receive each day with him is incomparable. In my thinking old fellows can deliver such love to a younger wife. Well its a package of everything.

I know what you mean to each their own I guess I think their would be a gap at that age difference. My friend and her bf they've been together 12 years and they're over 12 years apart I think more put it this way he's about 2 years difference from her mother. My friends mom was young when she had her ,but I don't know he's turning 50 she's 34. I mean she's happy, I wouldn't date someone that much younger then me I'm 31 so 20 years younger oh they would be 10 yuck. I've gone for 5 years older that's the max I will do, me and my fiance are 2 and half years apart. He's older ,but I act older.

if he hesitates then he shouldn't marry her I can understand for some people age does matter but surely not all what they get out of marriage is what they put into it like life in general

With this much age difference, it probably won't work out, however age does not matter with true love. I have seen such an age difference work out really well. Go for true love above all other concerns.

So he wants to marry a friend who is of the age of his daughter? I really don't know what to say. I can foresee the inevitable outcome of this joint venture. The girlfriend, who presently seems to be quite immature, will soon understand her folly. The same infatuation that is burning her sense right now, will be a cause of her frustration in future. I don't know how a man can have a girlfriend who is 20 years younger than him. There are other kinds of relationships possible between a man and a woman with such age difference. Marriage is not one of them. They can love each other, take care of each other, or, be friends to each other. But marriage? Sounds like your friend and his girlfriend both need immediate professional help.

Well, that's what I am planning to do! Getting past 40 and then marrying a 20 year old fresh girl! If your friend really love her girl, if there's no problem with legal authorities with that plan, he should given in to the girl and marry her. That is, if he really love that girl.
