older woman, younger guy. views??

i wouldn't complain if i had an older girlfriend

More experienced?

well u all no my story so i wont borew u with that one!!!

i was thinking of metioning you in this thread, but u beat me to it.

Just wrong eh? Is there an unwritten law about that?

A mate of mine came up with a mathematical formula for it. He reckoned that you should take the difference in your ages away from the younger person's age, and if that answer is less than say 16, its 'wrong'. Something like a2 - (a1 - a2) > 16.

it shouldn't really matter at the end of the day because it's down to the couple themselves - love is something you can't control, it just happens and when it does you'll do anything to stay together and when you've got something like that and in a happy lovign relationship who is anyone else to comment on it?

ok obviously school aged people and thier families generally don't have a problem with girls having older boyfriends. am i right? my little sister is 15 and one of her friends who recently turned 15 had been dating a guy for about a year who's 21, it's fine to everybody, her mother doesn't even care that they have sex. a guy who was above me in school has just returned to school aged 22 to start year 11, his girlfriend of course being 75% of the reason he returned, shes 14, no problem again.
so obviously this is fine, so let me ask what is the big deal with older girls having younger boyfriends, i mean when your at school everyone thinks your sad, desperate cant get someone your age, and when you get older it's seen as some sort of midlife crisis, a fling to make you look younger, but honestly is it any different, an 18 yr old wanting to date a guy a year and a half younger than her would be so offensive to everyone, but why, the few years should not make a difference. i mean if it were like 12 or something then yeh it'd raise some eyebrows.
any thoughts from the forum?

I think age can be a problem if there is a big gap (I think over 15 years is quite enough!), but it doesn't matter who's older. Besides, every relationship is different, and if a couple can make an age gap work, why shouldn't they?

My boyfriend is three years younger than me, but no one who meets him seems to be able to tell. When I tell people they take the piss a bit, but it's all very nudge-nudge, tongue-in-cheek.

If I had a 14 year old daughter and she started going out with a 19- or 20-year-old man I'd be worried that he was going to push her into having sex, but I hope that I'd bring up a kid who was strong enough to say no if she was uncomfortable with the situation.

When people are unhappy about problems in other people's relationships they're usually just being nosy. If the guys in the relationship are happy, leave them to it.
