Depending on the persons own opinion, you need to ask yourself not others. My own personal opinion is i think it doesnt matter the age, i have friends whom are younger and older then me, by far, but it doesnt bother me.

Agreed it is a personal matter, my boyfriend is 3 and a half years older then me, it doesnt bother me thats all im saying, thats my personal opinion, it all depends on how people were brought up to see other people, like some people believe the older generation is wise, not always.

I don't think it makes a lot of difference the actually age of a person but the stage of life they are at. I became a mom very young and tend to be with people who are a bit older than I. I think that has to do with the fact they were going through similar things at the time. Also I think as you get older the number doesn't mean as much. Like my man is 40 and I am 31. Not too bad but if I was 10 he would have been 19 which would be a bad thing. Your Friend Vicki :)

The age factor is very low down on the list of my priorities for a prospective partner. In fact it doesn't bother me at all, I have been with a partner who was 16 years older than me! Honesty, trust, integrity and loyalty are my top criteria for choosing a friend and partner. With Trust being the top one. I have a very good friend who is 78 and I am 36, I don't see his age I see other qualities which I respect.

Age is never a factor in choosing a partner. There are a lot more qualifications to think of. For me, age is something I don't mind. I've been with a younger and older women before. The main difference is how we understand each other. And how we cherish our love. That's all.

this is some how hard to say however, i don't it should be a boy may have love for a girl is older than him while we reason that the man should somehow be older than the female partner. i think the basic principle should be love. for age has even categories: chronological: numerical age, mental age, psychological age, etc where a twenty year old person may look much olde than a 25 year old person. choosing friends should be base on interest, common ideas, and what have you? this is my view.

well to me age is just a number and it really shouldn't matter but it also depends on their maturity and how they act because sometimes an older person can act really immature like a child, and a younger person can act like a very mature adult.so it all depends.pattie

it really depends on the person. some persons have interacted with different kind of people with different ages while others was brought up interacting with only a few group of people mostly at the same age.the latter tend to choose who they hang out with, who to date while the other easily accepts people.

I used to think it was since it is difficult to imagine what one would have in common with those in different generations. I have found that there really is not a lot of difference and you can learn so much from those younger and older that to deny a friendship on age alone is not wise.

if just to be friends with him or her, i think the age is not a problem.You can get along with people of any age,your parents,your grandparents,your cousin etc. But when you fall in love with him or her, *_*, it's not a good thing that he or she much older than you or much younger....there is a generation gap
