Ok you guys, my friend has a bf who is quite a bit older than her, what do you lot see as acceptable and not when it comes to age gaps?
Discuss!
as long as it's not like 40 years :/
haha, and even then, it totally depends on the bloke, cos some blokes will purely be like "i can still get a 20 year old girl *EGO BOOST*"
where as there will be others who really do care about each other.
and yeh.
i duno, i'ma ramble
depends how much
with myself and sarah it was 3 years
IMO it's just a number. I'm 28 and my other half is 41 so that's 13 years difference.
However if I were 16 and he was 29 it might be seen differently.
Yeah, to give you lot further info to judge on shes 19 later this year and I think she said he's gonna be 31 so thats 12 years...good? bad??
my parents are 11 years apart, and it's never been a problem :) (they met when my mum was 13 originally, but didn't start dating until she was in her 20s)
I don't see a problem with it if they are both over 16, and consenting if you know what I mean? Personally, I'm 20- nearly 21, and I find men who are 25+ more attractive than say a 18 year old but that is usually because they are more mature. (Not ALWAYS the case I know, but older men tend to have already done the whole sleeping around/immature lifestyle which doesn't appeal to me) Whether I was subconsciously aware I don't know; but I've always been with men atleast 2 or 3 years older than me.
I think relationships can benefit from an age gap, experience, knowledge etc and youthfulness/ excitement. It's hard to explain.
Although I must admit, this Ronnie Wood and 19 year old girlfriend thing freaked me out a little bit. I'm not bothered but I felt abit harsh for his wife. :\
This is all sounding rather positive, anyone completely against age gaps like that?
