Age difference
-
just a question...what do u think should be the maximum difference of age in a relationship?
1-2 years?
10-20 years? -
when cupid strikes, does it matter at all?
-

Yup... I agree with Bear..Originally posted by the Bear:when cupid strikes, does it matter at all? -
what about when commenting on ur friends
-
there is none...
i've seen childish people who are into their 60s
i've seen frighteningly mature people not even into their teens...
and the whole spectrum in between...
it does not matter.. all it matters is that both parties are mature in their thoughts and spiritsOriginally posted by StarPuppy:true but what do u think is the best age? -
Hmmm......a difference of 4-5 years should be ok.Originally posted by StarPuppy:what about when commenting on ur friends -
depends on the person ba.. if that guy/girl doesn't mind the age gap, then no prob. if he/she minds then the r/s wun even start rite..Originally posted by StarPuppy:just a question...what do u think should be the maximum difference of age in a relationship?

yeah... otherwise how do you explain the fact that some people are called "cao lao" and some "lao wan tong".... So long as both are fine with the level of maturity/childishness in their relationship it should be fine =)Originally posted by the Bear:there is none...

Age is not a barrier. Its what insides that counts. My previous partners are all older than me...from 6months to 4years older.
-
for me, i dated women older and younger than me before.. both have their pros n cons...
personally, i'm open to age diff of 3 yrs...anything more than that, i'll consider more..cuz different mentality towards relationship.. -
Dear The Bear,
It's also a matter of compatibility, & the willingness of both parties to accommodate each other's opinions & thoughts.

mine is one day!!
thanks to the camp that grouped people acording to birthdates -
actually age will never come into it unless you bring it in.Originally posted by the Bear:yup.. but where does the age come into this?

e.g. u and your parthner can be 10+years apart but if u love each other and not focus on the age then age is not a prob.
age is only a prob when you decide that it is a problem.
age is just numbers, as are measurements, heights, weights, etc. -
mind u, some get married at 60s and 70s and, bless them, they had a blissful marriage ever after...

That's what I meant by using the word, "also" in the beginning of my reply to you. Age is Not really a factor. You can have 2 people very close to the "ideal age difference" whatever that is, but if they can't iron out the differences (i.e. Not willing to compromise, nor willing to agree to disagree), the relationship won't work anyway.
Mine? I don't think there's anything to worry about there. It's a relationship where both parties are willing to compromise, & Not 1 whereby 1 insists on his way.

Age certainly makes a difference.. in terms of thinking, exposure etc..
but then it all boils down to whether both of u can accept the differences and work it out together. I like the way Bear puts it, 'when cupid strikes, does it matter at all?"
I do have fren whose bf is more than 30 years older than her.
