Re: does age matter?

i would like to ask smth.... is it normal when in a couple the guy is youger than the girl?(for about 4 or 5 years) but they love each other
... many ppl say that its not quite right..what do u think?

depends.
If you try to go out with a 14 year old while you're 18, it'd mean that you're a child molester.
If you're 24 and the girl is 20 or even 19, its all ok.

Re: does age matter?

I am 5 years older than my husband. We have been married for quite a while and I can guarantee you that the women don't necessarily look older than the men. Especially if they have taken good care of their skin through out their lives, have not gotten fat and are very active. If you see us you will never guess that I am older than him. Actually you will never guess our age correctly because we both are exceptionally active. By the way, I am the same airhead I used to be when we got married. There goes the maturity. People age by decades not years. Between 20 and 30 one cannot tell the difference. The same is between 40 and 50, 50 and 60 etc. And when you get to be 75 and he is 70 who cares.

We cannot put our children in a bubble. I brought her up protective; but that doesn't mean that I have to confine her all the time and not let her live a little or live her life. I believe that when you live a good life, give them the right directions and paths to take in life and that itself teaches your children how to behave and pick up good friends or boyfriends and girlfriends.

Exactly! Brava!

Group dates? You mean going out with a bunch of friends. I think nowadays if you're mature even when you're 18 or 20 and you find a quality guy who wants to date you and act with you nicely, then I don't see any problem. I have a 14 year old girl that I brought her up quite protective; but as parents when you are a good role model, then your child picks up all the good and learns from you; after that you don't have to worry but continue to give them guidance and protection.

Plastic surgery? LOOL

If the couple are both mature enough and age doesn't bother them then I don't think it's a problem. But alot of people, specially in the traditional Armenian families wouldn't aprove and that disaproval may play a part in the couples relationship particularly if they care what their family thinks.

As for woman looking older than man, well, we all age eventually, and if you truely love someone does it matter that they look older than you? Would you even care by that stage?

I totally agree! If a woman say even ten+ years older but looks 15+ years younger than her age and she is beautiful, takes good care of herself and her looks and has a warm and a young heart and disposition; what does it matter? My husband is younger than me but people often think that I am the younger one. Plus I am a young, a very lively and a life loving person, so it doesn't matter, especially when you're over 22. What matters is when a man, any man find a quality and a beautiful hearted woman should speak kindly and nicely to her rather than taking her for granted. Just making money isn't enough; but acting nicely and kindly with a sweet tongue what does matter.
