Do you mind your lover's age?

When choosing a spouse or a lover, do you consider their age a lot? In china, over 98% men care about age a lot. They only wish to find a young, younger, much younger wife or lover. while I hear, in Japan, boys respect and adore elder or older lady a lot. So would you prefer a younger or older lover?

My partner is 12 years older than me im 24(almost 25) and he is 36 (almost 37) his age has never been a problem and I cant ever see it becoming a problem either. Some people did say it would last well we have been together 7 yeas and we are still very happy with two beautiful little girls and planning a third baby. I find age only matters to those outside of the relationship not to the actual couple!

yes, i see her picture, so cute, i love girls :) it's good to hear you say that. and let's suppose what if the situation reverses? say you are 12 years older than your partner? will it make any difference? thanks for the response.

Nope if he was 12 years younger than me it wouldnt matter either, it might to others but thats their problem!

Well I am happily married and have been for 26 years even though my wife is older than me, I have learned to accept it. She is six months older. :) Now if I happen to out live her I am sure I would look for a much younger woman. I will likely need someone to help me get around. Seriously I have never really thought about age and marriage too much. For me it's about how we connect.

haha, i once had a boy who is 4 years old younger than me. my parents oppose a little cause they don't think it will do and as times proves, they are right. then there was a time when i wish an older one. but now i change back, if given younger and much older, i prefer a younger one. Maturing isn't judged by age.

I don't mind. However, I would rather be older because I would like to die first and leave her mourning. lol

Well I am married and my husband is six years older than me, however I hate having a husband who is thirty older than me or thiry years younger. I think age matters, the way he thinks and acts. I think personally I will not go for a man who is more that 10 years older or younger than me.
