maturity IS the key; butI don’t want to hookup a girl who is too under the age, but as far as hooking up with a Aunt Bea (who’s older than me) I don’t think so……

I agree maturity is the key. Age represents the number of years a person has spent upon the earth. It doesn’t represent maturity level, a person’s walk through life, or level of achievement.

i have to agree because my man is over 30 and our maturity clicks sometimes im more mature then him

Where’s my 21yrs old and up cupcake??? I’m looking for u girl ..muah!!!

Maturity is the key but I just cant see myself wit some young dude. Being only 24 now I cant see myself even lookin at a dude who is even 23. I just feel like Im robbin the cradle for some reason. Im sure many wont agree wit my logic but who cares its my opinion.

I know some older men who are so silly you wouldn’t believe. its all about the mindset

HELL YEAH IT DOES MATTER BUT IN THE END THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IS IF U REALLY CARE FOR THAT PERSON I’M 31 MY HUSBAND IS 57 AND WE’VE HAD OUR PROBLEMS FORREAL BUT WE HAVE GROWN TOGETHER I LEARNED TO LIKE SOME OF HIS THINGS HE LEARNED TO LIKE MINES AS WELL.SO IT JUST DEPENDS ON THE RELATIONSHIP.BUT IF I HAD TO DO OVER I WOULD’VE NEVER MARRIED AT THE AGE 17 I WOULD’VE WAITED

I think age matters to an extent…and that is just due to experience level (no get ya mind out the gutter, i dont mean sex!). I just dont think some younger guys/females I have met or spoke with have what it takes to deal with an ‘older person’….That 14-20 year age gap is cute…BUT I dont think it makes for everlasting….

For my man and I age is just a number. I’m 22 and he’s about to be 30 but we still love each other. We don’t have any control issues and my kids are in love with him. We have always been on the same page and rarely argue. You just have to know what you can handle and what you can’t. And yes we have meet each other’s families and they love both of us. We’re happy because our love is true.

I agree…it is all in the mindset. My man is 35 and im 20. I mean we have small disagreements but when its all said and done its all good. Our age has nothin to do with it. I mean he knows how to make me happy and vice versa and i didnt find that in dudes my age…my family is fine with it and so is his…and his kids love me and my son loves him…so it really depends on the person and there maturity level because it can work

It depends on the maturity level of both individuals..as a younger man I lived in Alaska and dated exclusively older woman…I was’nt on a couger hunt but my maturity level matched or was beyond theirs and we clicked…it did’nt matter then and it don’t now as long as one is ready and commited to b in a serious relationship inspite of what others think…although I’m older now seems like it’s in reverse where younger woman than older is try’n to get at a Kuroi shishi…younger females don’t know an OG like me need MENTAL stimulation..meaning b able to talk about news life love politics world happs etc cause a relationship is more than jus sex.and to b on some real grown folk man look out for his woman and woman look out for her man type of stuff and some jus want older for a sugar daddy

Doesnt matter to me I’m 34 and my dude is 45 and my ex husband is 57 and I have a beautiful little girl by him as well and she’s 9. I like who i’m attracted to as long as he aint beating my ass which I wont let happen he’s good to my 16 yr. old son and loves me and respects me we all good, and aint selling drugs or trying to be a pimp hell it’s all good. But we are divorce and get along better even though we’re not together for the sake of my daughter. My man now is good to me he makes me happy I cant and wont complain at all. He has my back and have his.

hope relationship gaps don’t matter. After all where would Jack Nicholson be, ha ha

I would say OLDER womben got more to offer cuz SOME of them are tired of the silly lil games and BS that most womben try to play, and they can offer mental-stimulation. but its really about MATURITY and their attitude about life in general.

cuz a bunch of women be in their early 30s lookin 45, cuz they eat the wrong foods, have toxic thoughts/emotions, a bunch of drama and baggage that s*cks the life outta them, had sex with toooo many guys and their body is all used up and overweight.

end of the day, its about who you click with and what they have to offer relationship-wise. just looking cute aint gonna do it

age has to matter i can’t see a woman 21 being so in love with a man in his 40′s or 50′s same for a man after a while they’re gonna want to be with someone around their age or somewhat close to it cause on the real woman will be looked at as using the dude as for the men it must be a sex thing but in the end it’s all good i guess

it does to a degree but its subjective.

I agree @ S0_sekc_Bre, it is all in the mindset.

I only deal with older guys because young guys aren’t fun/don’t have conversation/and constantly tell me to act my age because I have my own place-car-business and I don’t want to constantly “wild out”. Omg especially their dialect with all the nonsense 24/7 ebonics. Its not a good look nor is it “cool”. Anywhoz, the age gap has gotten in the way in the past. I had ex’s wanting to marry and have children and I am no where trying to think about all of that. I have no problem with monogamy and serious relationships but as of right now– I don’t need to prove it with a ring on my finger and a couple of kids. I don’t think they are bad men BUT I didn’t want to hold them back from what they are trying to do so we are all still friends. Those were just a few of my experiences with the “age gap” but for the most part I have no regrets, ehh

SMH….WELL I’MMA JUS UOTE MYSELF WHEN I SAY ” I DON’T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER BT BY THE ADVENTURE N EXCITEMENT IT BRINGS TO MY IMAGINATION”…WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS SOME SHYT JUS WORK OUT DESPITE THE DIFFERENCES RATHER THAT BE THE AGE GAP, RACE, HEIGHT, WEIGHT, ETC…ODD SHYT CREATES BEAUTIFUL RESULTS…THEN THERE ARE JUS TIMES WHERE WE FORCE SOMETHING TO BE WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW WONT WORK REGUARDLESS OF HOWMANY TIMES U SWITCH IT UP. “YOU CAN ONLY EXPECT SO MUCH FROM ANOTHER SOURCE OF ENERGY WHEN YOUR OWN ENERGY SOURCE HAS AN INSUFFICENCY. AS A RESULT OF THIS INSUFFICENCY, U BEGAN TO MAKE ASSUPTIONS WHICH LEADS TO U MAKING AN ASS OUTTA U N THAT SIGNIFICANT OTHER.”I THINK MY QUOTING OF THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPEN’D N THE CASE OF USHER N HIS EX-WIFE. WITH CELEBRITY RELATIONSHIP, RATHER ITS CELEB/CELEB OR CELEB/COMMONER, U HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE MAIN THINGS TO REMEMBER IS IMAGE, PRIVACY, AND CONFIDENCE. SHE AIM’D TOO HIGH I THINK BECUZ SHE SEEM’D INSECURE TO ME WITH THE WHOLE PLASTIC SURGERY/NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE N ALL. ANYHOO, THATS ALL IM GONE SAY BOUT THAT. YEAH, AGE AINT NOTHING BT A NUMBER…ITS UR LEVEL OF MATURITY THAT DETERMINES THE RELATIONSHIP ALONG WITH MANY, MANY, MANY OTHER ELEMENTS.

THIS IS FRESH FROM THE MIND OF YA CHOCOLATE_DIVA24 AKA MZ. DIAMOND…**MUAH** TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF N YA LOVE ONES…DUECES!!!

MY BAD ON THAT FIRST LINE THAT’S “QUOTE” FOR ALL YALL SPELLING CHECKERS

I think at the end of the day age does matter. I am 30 and my recent dude was 23. I tried very hard to see pass his age but it became very clear that it was impossible for me to not reference back to his age. I have my own and I have seen a whole lot in my 30 years of living. I’ve had a chance fall in love and out of love. I have figured out what I want out of a relationship and I honestly believe that in most cases a 23 year old man has not had the chance to find out what it is that will make him whole. I think most young men try to be a that grown ass man but without going through some sh**, they aren’t there yet.

NO AGE ISNT A MATTER EVERYSINCE I WAS 21 I NEVER DATED ANYONE UNDER 40 AND I THINK IM A GREAT COUGARS CATCH !!!!

I think age does matter depending ofn how big the gap, lets say somebody 20 dating somebody 40 we they are probably in two different stages in their lives….one might be thinking of kids and the career when the others kids are all grown and they might not be wanting to go through it all over again. Age does matter besides what if you do they do have kids not cool at the kids graduation dads 36 and moms 56 ugghhh, but to each his own I suppose.

…I’ve learned in age difference relationships to not look at “Forever” that elusive thing that only a small few couples acheive…rather look at two people who like/love each other and get along who want a life with each other day by day…one step day at a time that way u don’t pressure yourself for such a huge pressure goal in this type or anytype relationship… as opposed to “Forever”…if your in it for the right REASONS it should Last…Chuuch

age doesn’t really matter, because i’ve experienced an 18-19 year old woman with the maturity level of a 35 year old, an a 28 year old with the maturity level of a 14 year old. So it’s all about the maturity of the person you’re with

Because u tend to start try’n to do math like…when I’m 34 he’ll b…and vice versa…Don’t think about that cause it takes away from the relationship…rather think about U found love and compatibility all beit in a youger or older partner…remember jus cause their older don’t mean their MATURE and jus cause thier younger don’t mean their immature…TWO ADULTS who make eachother HAPPY and share the same maturity level………..Kuroi shishi…Chuuch

naw… cause all ive dated was older women and most of them are just as immature as the ones that are the same age that i am. Ive actually met more women slightly below my age act more mature than the ones that are early 30s and plus

I love my older women as long as the age gap not 30 to 50 years i see nothing wrong with it

No I date man 26yrs older than me now and we get along great, we are compatible. He makes me happy and I make him happier.

No, it shouldn’t matter and that is the consensus that I’m getting from most of the comments that I have read regarding the question. In fact most of the women that I date at least 10 years or more younger than me and some have even been 20 years younger than me. It is what it is… basically if you are compatible with a younger / older person than it is ok and as long as you and the other person is happy it shouldn’t matter. After all, age ‘aint nothing but a number.

I personally prefer older women. More mature women dont sweat small insignificant details like most younger women do. Of course, I’m only 20 so older for me is still pretty young. Haha.

I love older men (I’m talking up to 10-12 years older than me!) for their wisdom, strength, they make me feel protected and their maturity. I like guys my age they understand what I’m going through in this time can relate to me in the sense of mastering their career path and having a foundation. I’m not into guys younger than me UNLESS they have a profound maturity and even then we’d probably make better friends.

I love older men I can communicate better with them, me and my boyfriend we’re 9 years apart and we get along just fine, I was never really into guys my age or younger we just don’t connect on relationship level. so we’re better off just being friends.

PERSONALLY AGE DO MAKE A DIFFERENT TO ME… I COULD NEVER SEE MYSELF DATING ANYONE YOUNGER THAN 46 YEARS OLD… BECAUSE MY SON MUST RESPECT THE MAN IN MY LIFE AT ALL TIMES… MY SON WOULD NEVER RESPECT A MAN THAT IS CLOSE TO HIS AGE… HE WOULD LOOK AT HIM AS A FRIEND NOT A FATHER FIGURE… BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY THE BLACK KING THAT ENTERS MY LIFE MUST BE ON MY LEVEL… WE MUST BE AS ONE… I AM LOOKING FOR A BLACK KING THAT KNOWS WHAT HE WANT OUT OF LIFE AND KNOWS HOW TO GO GET IT… I AM NOT INTERESTED IN DRUG DEALERS – LIARS – CHEATERS OR ANYTHING IN BETWEEN… THAT IS NOT THE LIFE FOR ME AT ALL… I AM A GO GETTER AND I KNOW WHAT AND WHERE I WANT TO BE IN LIFE… NO OFFEND TO YOUNGER BLACK KINGS BUT THEY USUALLY DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY REALLY WANT OUT OF LIFE BECAUSE THEY ARE STILL IN THE GROW UP STAGE OF LIFE…

BUT BLACK QUEEN, I FEEL YOU ON THIS, BUT DOES YOUR SON HAVE TO BE INVOLVED IN ALL YOUR PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS. MOST OLDER MEN, AND CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG, BUT MOST OF THEM ARE NOT IN THE BEST OF HEALTH AND I DO NOT WANT A MAN I HAVE TO BATH AND FEED. I WANT ONE THAT IS NOT ONLY INTELLIGENT, WORKING, HEALTHY AND MATURE, I ALSO WANT HIM TO ‘TAKE THE HUMP OUT MY BACK’. A LADY GOT TO DO WHAT A LADY GOT TO DO, THATS WHY THERE IS ‘GROWN FOLKS BUISNESS

I prefer younger men. And they prefer me. Men my age or older dont even approach me… and it suits me just fine. (Maybe because I look younger and am still youthful..???) Notice i said YOUNGER not young. From my experiences, once a men reach about 30, they have finallly matured, they FINALLY realize that sex is more about quality than quantity (meaning they dont have to have EVERY woman that looks good), but they’re still youthful, fun, vibrant, and energetic. A grown man is a grown man.. fair game. I dont look for other’s approval of my relationships. I sleep with him, I deal with him.. my issue. No one elses. The beauty of being my age, 39, is I could care less what anyone thought of anything I say or do, other my God. Oh wait.. damn.. does that make me a cougar???? CTFU

Ok.I know this is not on topic but,I love the hat… :)

Ohhh and,,the age gap situation,its not for me,I prefer someone a little closer to my age but everyone is different.If two people can learn to share each others experience’s in life and respect them,and agree to except each other as they are,It could work.But its rare.Plus I think its also matters how many decades apart the two people are.Doesnt mean It cant work,its just going to take alot of patience,understanding,and a equal willingness on each partner to communicate,communicate,communicate,and learn along the way.Almost like any relationship with a couple of different dynamics to it.But it can work if they are serious about one another. :)

IM ALMOST 43YRS, AND FUNNY ENUFF I SEEM TO ATTRACT YOUNGER MEN…ITS NICE AND A LOT OF THEM ARE MATURE BELIEVE IT OR NOT…MEN MY AGE SEEM TO HAVE A LOT OF HANG-UPS…AND THEY DONT HAVE THAT ENERGY THAT A LOT OF THESE YOUNGER MEN DO…I DONT KNOW…IT DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS…BUT WHAT MATTERS IS HOW A PERSON MAKES YOU FEEL…

Just wondering… what would yall say about a 20 year old female and a 17 year old guy?
