There is nothing wrong with age-gap relationships!
Johana CAug 25, 20
Every time I look at the internet, there will be a story online shaming a couple because of their age difference. Are people really that shallow? If you have a problem with age-gap relationships, YOU are the problem. Lust and love don't discriminate

    Im in 2 minds about this. Personally I have been in a relationship with a much older guy when I was younger and it didnt bother me then, however now that I am older I find that most men in my age group have health issues and are looking for a partner who is pretty much going to look after them as their unpaid nurse, as their health deterioates even further. As an older person getting into a relationship, why would we (male or female) want to put our lives on hold to look after someone else whom we havent been with for a long time, when because of our own age our own health, strength and ability etc could also start to decline. I think, as a female if you are still fit and healthy once you get to your 60s you do need to find a younger man to be with. As for the older guys out there, you, I think in most cases would be okay to be with a female in your own age group, as in general men dont take as good care of their health, like going to the doctor etc as often as what a female does (this has been proven), the

      Can't say that I've experienced it personally, but I have acquaintances who's egos were pumped when showing off their trophies in the past and a few of them STILL have those trophies now doing duty as live-in carers now that we blokes are all disgracefully aged. Just doesn't seem fair.

        It is not the age difference but the differences in your personalities. If it works it works. simple

            If its for love, there is no problem. If it's for money then they should be shamed

                        I only care about my relationship. Any other relationship as long as it’s consenting is “mind your own business “

                                  No one's business but their own; if both parties are happy in love (or lust), what does it matter and who is judge to say it is right or wrong? Seriously, some people need to grow up and mind their 'beeswax'!

                                    Theres nothing wrong with age-gap. I have no problem with it. Age doesn't matter it's who the person is inside of them.

                                                It seems to be okay if the guy is older. If the woman is older, she gets called a cougar. So there's definitely discrimination involved.

                                                    In my opinion there is nothing WRONG with age gap relationships. The problem is usually other people. I totally agree with Johana C - if it is real love age should not be an issue.

                                                              It's perfectly fine as long as it is for love and there is respect between the two. It is no ones business but their own. With my relationship there is a 9 and a half year age gap and I'm the older one this time. But we met online and I had no idea how old he was, I had assumed he was closer to my age due to his maturity. Been together just over 5 years now and still going strong.
