Interesting topic, prompt me to jot down my bit though I am new for posting in forums.
Age matters: Yes and No. No if you are looking for fun and just dating, i.e. having a good time for now and not looking for long term commitment and settling down.
Yes age matters if you are looking for long term commitment. When you commit to a person, it is not a commitment to him only, you also have to consider his family and his friends. Me and my hubby have 11 years gap. Luckily we have no problem with the family issue, but the friends were another story. I was in my early 20’s and most of my friends were university students, lots of fun and running around etc. My hubby was in his early 30’s with lots of serious stuff. My friends couldn’t stand him, can’t blame them. And he couldn’t stand their immaturity. There was days that I was torn apart where to stand, and whom to have time to spend with. And I didn’t enjoy spending time with his friends either. Luckily it didn’t affect our commitment to each other, but again it was testing. Another issue why I think about age matters is the biological age, of course we women get older faster than men, biologically. Women go through menopause on average b/n age of 45-50. And this age is the middle age when men usually need a lot of attention, thus having to go through the tantrums of menopause, when they are needing you most couldn’t be easy i.e if you are same age. Thus the ideal age is for women to be 5 -10 years younger. But of course there are always the exceptions, the individuals matter, so as the environment you live in, the particular situations you are facing in life etc.
