Samuel de Champlain (a Canadian historical relic) married a 12 year old at the age of 36, and then divorced her and married a 13 year old at the age of 40...
And age doesn't matter as long at the parties mentioned are obeying the laws set fourth by their country.
I would personally date someone as old as 45 years old, and I am 18.

what's the difference ... the age? ... the maturity level? ... the sexual drive?
a realy problem are this kind of man, who can do it only with underaged girsl ...

*hm* I think, that in a long term relationship the age gape is not problem the first years
... but when after some happy years the older partner gets about 60 and the younger is maybe 35 - then are to many differences in their interests :endecided:

and what happend in case of casual datings or casual sex? ... no problem, if both want it at this time ... I think, that younger can learn from more maturity (both way) ... but I don't think, that sex for a older man is much better with a very young girl - woman over 25 have more experiances in sex and better feelings :pleased:

and maybe younger boys should learn how to give pleasent moments to the girls from older woman ... than the younger girlfriend have more fulfillment with him :thumbup:
Tomorrow must be the longest day :shocked: because everything is scheduled on it :doh:

Hi ArteMaXX!:)


i believe age doesn't really matter!:thumbup:
as long as you love each other and you're happy with what you're doing.

like me, my bf's 13yrs older than me :lol:
i love him soooo much.. and our relationship is goin' stronger and stronger.. :)
I can resist everything. Except temptation. :lips:

i used to think age was a big deal but since i joined univeristy i see gals who are 25 dating boys much younger and its normal. actuall nowdays my attitude is cahning and i think its okay. why not take a chance. after all JLO said age is just a number

I believe that the age does not have relation with the love, you can love some person but old that your or but young, problem is that every one generates espectativas according to its age, like an unmarried person of 30 years, so you see wants to marry and a other of 20 wants does not interest to him.

I think a lot depends on the culture with regards to age !

I love this topic!
I'm 14, going to be 15 on Monday.
My ex is 19, going to be 20 in August.
So. We had/have a 5 year age difference but when we were together I was 14, and he was still 18 and people thought of it as OMG BETHANY YOU'RE GONNA GET RAPED. But when I say that he's 19 and I'm still 14, people are like, Oh, ok.
But my parents are 10 years apart so Its not that big of a deal having an age gap.
Age can't separate unconditional love.
..Bethany Christine REDMAN..

i think so bethany u and me can be a couple, what u think??

well, i don't think age really matter, unless you care what other people think. you shouldn't if you're really serious with the relationship. :thumbup:

I have 2 problems when it comes to relationships and age.

1. As many of the people have said, age doesn't matter, so long as you love each other. I disagree. I could love someone to death and still not want to be with him because he's such an immature git I wouldn't be able to get what I need from him mentally, emotionally, sexually, and so on. Why sexually? Well, if he's at the stage of immaturity where he's only interested in getting off, guess who's going to be severely unsatisfied *raises hand*.

MATURITY is the key... after, you know, actually getting on well with the person and having mutual interest and feelings for each other. Because of this whole maturity issue, guys my age, younger, and a few years older are usually too immature for me. I say usually because it's not always the case - I'll bet there are 50 yr olds out there who are too immature for me, just as there are 20 yr olds who are too mature for me. However, because the general rule [unless you're a mathematician] is that most of the guys in my age group do not match my own level of maturity, I have to say that usually, age matters.

2. Age doesn't matter so long as the person is mature, is mutually interested and has feelings for you, and you get on well together - except when they're old enough to be your parents, old enough to be your grandparents, or are in your parents age group. The same applies to the reverse: except when they're young enough to be your kids, your grandkids, or are in your kids age group. Picture getting married and having your kids from another person calling your new spouse 'Mom' or 'Dad', when your spouse is their age, a couple of years older or younger... Now picture getting married to someone old enough to be your parent, and having your parents call him/her 'son' or 'daughter'.

*shudder* *shudder* *shudder*

Ok, I'm done ;)

I learn more and more from these discussions, even at my advanced age.:lol:

There's an imperative at work that does not often rear its hoary head. Men and women are hardwired, unless something goes off the track, to procreate.

All the attractions between the sexes generally benefit that imperative. An attractive spouse means attractive children (usually, not always--recessive genes come out to play--Prince Charles, for instance). A strong spouse, a successful spouse, etc, etc...

In a world where factors are not disturbed by starvation, loss of security, war and pestilence, men and women can get pretty choosy. Start changing the environment and the factors of survival come into play.

That's why 40 and 50 year old farmers married 13 and 14 year old girls, even in the USA during the early part of the 20th century. A hard life wore out women and they died younger. A land-owning man, even advanced in years, was a catch for a young woman looking for security.

Then there's that stray dog mentality that 90 percent of men have to spread their seed among as many females as possible. Some never give up or grow up, as Marie said. Apparently there are a few women for whom the same is true. Recent news articles here have reported women in their 40s and up--teachers--taking on their male Jr. High students. The ones that get the most press are the younger attractive ones, but there are plenty of the older and less attractive ones going at it too.

I guess those that have the opportunity, takes the opportunity--as long as they are capable of sustaining the sexual function.

Here in Daytona Beach, every spring and fall during the motorcycle events I see teenage girls riding on the back of some really old, fat, hairy biker's Harley-Davidson.
While I still had my BMW, I got the same offers. Some girls just want to meet bad old men (For the record, I just laughed--I might have flirted a little, but this old horse has a pretty good filly in the barn), maybe they are same girls that can't seem to avoid bad boys.

Who knows for sure. I quit trying to figure it out a long time ago.
If I haven't been there, I'm still planning on going!
If I haven't done it, I've still got time to try!

I have not taken the time yet to read all of the additions to this thread, but one thing concerned me.

Large age gaps between mature adults is no problem. By mature, I judge that as starting at age 25. No, I do not mean the difference between the common concept of mature and immature. I mean a certain maturity that only comes from having life experience. A kind of maturity that it is absolutely impossible for a teenager to have, no matter how adult they act.

There are things one learns in life about human behavior and human character that cannot be guessed at. You must have the constant contact, the seeing of the motives behind the actions, the experience of conflicts had, or long-term reactions seen, of learning behavior and what triggers behavior.

Between a 40 year old and 25 year old compatibility can be achieved a lot easier without one or the other manipulating the relationship. And even then, if it is the woman who is significantly older, she has a huge advantage over a man. Women are forced to mature much faster than men because they gain human-contact experience much earlier. From the moment a girl starts developing breasts, and in many cases even much earlier than that, men are gunning for her. She sees this, learns from this and gains experience. Even so, this experience takes a lot of years to be applied in day to day life and in relationships.

When a 40 year old man deals with a 15 year old girl, or even an 18 year old girl, watch out! Life is vicious, life is uncertain, life is capricious. People are manipulatable. Most of so when you tell them exactly what they want or need to hear. A forty year old, smart and with motive, can say and do anything that a teenager wants to hear. The power or persuasion through not just words, but actions, body language, everything we have learned over the years that has attracted the opposite sex to us. When you imagine what a forty year old knows compared to what a teenager knows, there is no contest.

Every teenager in the world will argue otherwise. But this is an argument based in naiveté and ignorance bolstered by the hormonal bravado and false confidence that convinces teenagers that their conclusions about themselves are right. A teenager cannot withstand the concerted efforts of a forty year old. Period. The law recognizes this. I do not know how it is possible to get a teenager to recognize this.

Can a 40 year old, advanced and settled in the world, have a meaningful and equal relationship with a teenager? Impossible. The teenager will be subordinate to the world-wise 40 year old.

The law recognizes how simple and easy it is for an adult, an authority figure, to talk a teenager into something. The 40 year old with be the nicest, sweetest, most helpful individual on the planet. He won't come at the teenager like a predator and will have actual genuine feelings of lust. His caring, his presence, especially at the most tumultuous time of a developing life, will be the perfect outlet for a vulnerable or even rebellious teen spirit. A teenager can be convinced of anything. This is the most turbulent part of their life and also the time period when the mind soaks up more about what is going on around them than at anytime since they were five. A teenager is so extremely susceptible to influence that anyone approaching them in the right manner will seem a godsend.

So the law says 'hands off' and let them develop normally.

There will always be an imbalance when people date or mate outside of their peer group.

Age diff have never been a problem for me and I can have just as much fun with a woman older than me or younger. If you click and have good fun together why not, older or younger. Saw this guy in South Africa a few years ago that married a woman that was about 70yrs old and he was like 23yrs or close to it. Lasted for about a year then they got divorced. Now that is going slightly overboard.

The age gap between myself and my s/o is roughly 5 years. To me this is a non issue. In fact I have never once thought about the age gap between us.

I believe every one I have been with since I began dating was older then me with the exception of 1.

I can think of man in his 30's right now that I may like to have a relationship with but it would all hinge on himself as a whole, not his age.

I have yet to be physically attracted to a man beyond his 30's with the exception of a few bald famous men. >_<
So realistically for me a 10 year age gap or so may be the cut off at this point in my life.

I do however have friends and acquaintances from all walks of life and all ages. One, a man in his 50's who's rather good at making all of my problems seem completely insignificant. And that's precisely the reason we are friends.
And yet at the chance, I denied any further advances.
Everything I've done, and all that I have yet to do, is only to forget the meaning of your name.

When I was 15 I dated a 19year old. To me It was perfectly fine... :) But to the cops it was illegel and NOT acceptable. :cry: I remember the day my parents called the cops. :cry: It was horrid they almost took him away and I am not allowed to see him till I am 18 in 7 months... I think this law is stupid, if the younger girl/guy wants to then let them if they say no and the older girl/guy keeps going I think its wrong. I think its personal for everyone and different. If you can get away with it Congrats to you! Just be careful...

So by current law, your guy, for whom you still have feelings, is a sex offender. Probably on a list, restricted in where he lives and condemned for the rest of his life, even though you were both teenagers with a four year difference in age?

Anyone else want to rationalize this aspect of the age difference.

Quite frankly, with respect to Carib's comments, anyone who can be susceptible to sexual manipulation will be manipulated no matter what their age. Other than legislated mandates, some people never develop a sense of propriety, of self-worth. They are as vulnerable at 40 as they are at 13.

Don't deny that early teens are prone to romantic delusions that most out grow. But there are also girls who are predators in their own way from an early age. I once met an Italian woman residing in the US who was a Contessa or some such. She said she earned her title when she was 15 and strolling along the beach when the "Count" aged 65 introduced himself. She inherited everything at age 17.
If I haven't been there, I'm still planning on going!
If I haven't done it, I've still got time to try!

Charles - He is not listed as a sex offender that I know of he is not in jail - sometimes I see him around - No I do not have feelings for him anymore I love my current boyfriend so much. The other guy and I never did anything for him to be an offender. We didn't have sex. he was in Jail for like 3 days then he just left town - I don't blame him one bit.

Joshep Rf:

i think so bethany u and me can be a couple, what u think??


I think that if you lived in the U.S. you'd be in big trouble right about now. Be careful...you're 22 propositioning a 14 year old across state lines. A federal offense.

William Grimshaw:

100 years ago 16 year olds married 40 year olds in the US


You still can in most states. Some states have no minimum age.


Those that have minimum marriage ages are as follows:

New Hampshire: Cannot marry if under age 13

Alabama, North Carolina and South Carolina: Cannot marry if under age 14

New Mexico and Utah: Cannot marry if under age 15

District of Columbia, Illinois, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kentucky, Ohio and Vermont: Cannot marry if under age 16

Oregon: Cannot marry if under age 17


The remaining states not posted here have ages of marriages listed, but allow younger than those ages to marry with parental consent or court approval. The remaining states also neglect to mention in their laws a minimum age for parental consent or court approved marriages which means they have no minimum age for marriage.
