This.

Most of my friends are 40-ish now and age difference never comes up. Ever. It was never a topic when we were in our 20's, and some of my friends have 5-7 year age differences. It never, ever comes up. If anyone still brings this up to you, just stop hanging around them. You have better things to do with your time and life than be around people who are being rediculous.

LoL my dad was 59 when he married my mom who was 23. My mom had me at 27 and my dad was 63 at the time.

Every time I see old white guys with young fob asian wives I just think of my parents.

I've stopped talking to quite a few people that I considered "friends" before I started dating my girlfriend. We got together and people didn't approve so they started talking shit behind our backs and such. Typical immature teenager shit.

Sometimes. My old next door neighbors were 23 years apart and the woman was older.

Last time I walk through Santa Monica promenade, I see like 4 different couples, It was old middle age white dudes with young asian chicks. It was kinda weird to see. I am talking about dudes in their 40 50 and 60 holding hands with 20's to 30's year old asian chicks.

My parents are about ten years apart. Mom was 36, dad was 46 when I was born. Nothing like some of the stories here though

So you don't get any more reactions from anybody new when you tell them you and your girlfriend's ages, Tyler?

Meh, sometimes. People usually think both my girlfriend and I are older than we really are, so they usually don't ask. When we say 21 and 18 I think they are shocked that we are so young, not really about the age difference.

+ 1
Buddhist is one of the most peaceful and non-judgemental religion out there. All they really care about is for everyone to get along in a peaceful manner, regardless what background anyone came from. I mean, when was the last time you hear someone got murdered in the name of Buddhist? Never.

We'd only discuss it long enough to buy them a beer and congratulate them.

An age difference (assuming all is legal ) isn't as big an issue as a maturity difference IMO.

Problem is, age and maturity are much more closely related around or below 20 than it is when you're talking about anybody above 25, for example.

I'm 22 turning 23 in Nov, My Girlfriend is 19 turning 20 in Feb.

I know a few people who have said something but for the most part, No one really says anything. My father is 6 years older then my mom so I didn't even think twice. I guess the only thing that kills it, She can't drink with me when i go out for another 1 1/2!

I'm 36 and my wife is 24...and yes I'm rocking the cradle. She outsmarts and outmatures me all day, everyday. Look I can't even write proper english. Age is definitely just a number. Who cares what others think...unless you're 65 and she's 20! That's another story.

Taking advantage of the cradle would be appropriate for your situation.



I'm glad you and your wife are happy! I've met quite a few couples that have a 10+ year age difference. Like you said, it only gets weird when there's a 20+ year difference.

Hey Tyler I just say this thread man. I'm switching over here because the 3G section has been shot to hell the last few months. I get angry reading the shit that people say there.

Anyways, I'd like to quickly share my recent story with you. I met this girl at a party in late November 2010 a few days before my birthday. She came because some other guy wanted her, but we ended up hooking up that night, and then a little later I took care of her for the night until a friend could take her home. In the morning she called me and thanked me for being so nice and we ended up hanging out on my birthday when we hooked up again. Then we started dating, despite her living 15 minutes away I'd only see her like once every 1.5 weeks. After 3 months or so I couldn't deal with things being like that, so I ended things.

She was crying and all sad and I felt bad, so I gave her another chance under the condition that things would change. They did, for about a week, then it was the same old. After about a month she found out I told my brother we had sex and she got all mad at me and blew up for no reason at all. The ONLY person I told was my brother, nobody else knew. I thought, this isn't worth my time so I just gave up.

One night she randomly started talking to me, about 1 month later. I gave her a chance but with my guard up. We hung out once in that 1 month period and then I found out she hooked up with one of my friends (not mad at him) and then is going out with another guy. After all this talk to me about how I was the most amazing boyfriend and what not. It hurt for a little but then I realized she doesn't deserve someone that cares about her and treats her right. So I apologized to her for being nice and respecting her and caring about her. Now her new boyfriend treats her like shit (I'm pretty sure of this) and she is speechless at what I told her since she now realizes the mistake she made.

Anyways sorry for shitting up your thread. I don't think the age should be that big of a deal. Screw what other people think as long as you're happy it's all that matters. I hope you guys have 3 more happy years

That story was TOTALLY off topic but it was a good read

Yeah girls are very strange. They keep everything to themselves as long as you don't ask about it. As soon as you inquire about their past, it unravels like a roll of toilet paper going downhill

And you only want us to have 3 more happy years huh? That's it?

Just kidding! Thanks man! It will be 3 years in November. Time has flown by.

I know a 22 year old girl who is seeing a 50 year old man, and it's not for money. So no, apparently it's not an issue unless you make it one.

Also, at 22, I was seeing a 19 year old and it wasn't weird. 3 years ain't too bad.

No need to apologize! I enjoyed reading it. Not that I enjoyed hearing about your relationship ending, but just seeing another situation and how you handled it. My girlfriend is barely 2 miles away from my house so distance has never been an issue for us. I'm going to school about an hour south of here in the spring and it's going to be tough. We are used to being with each other everyday for at least a few hours.

Sorry, but when you're more than twice the age of your partner, that's weird.
