My boyfriend is 3 years older than me. I wouldn't date any of the guys that are my age...at leastthe ones that I know. They're till in their jerk phases...but with some of them I suspect thats just permanent
I think age stop mattering around 20 or so... or depending on how mature the younger party is...
Concerning you though I think it's odder that a 50 year old man is on Gaia...0_o

My girlfriend is only five months older than I am..
Honestly I can say that for other people, the young-to-old love is nothing wrong by any means, but personally, I wouldn't want to date someone who is going to die of old age perhaps 20 years before I die of old age. I want someone my age, with whom I can live with for most of my life. Sorry if that sounded a little shallow, but... quoting a cool person:
"I don't want friends who won't be around tomorrow." - Squall Leonheart
But those of you couples who are like that, I give you my congrats on managing to find true love regardless of age difference.

why does age play a part in world society at all? once a person is capable of rational thought (however old this may be) and has at least a basic grounding in how people think and sex ed and such they should be allowed to do as they please as limited by physics, economics and consent.

Basically, my take on the issue isn't whether any two people should be allowed to be together, regardless of age, gender, or race, but whether it's really "love." Someone much younger will lack the emotional maturity and stability of someone older, which leads the way for said older person to take advantage of the other party.
If you guys are in love, fine; but are you sure it's really love? The word gets tossed around so often these days, what does it really mean? Does it even exist anymore?

i dont think its a question of being " allowed", people nowadays are so closed minded that they cant see love for what it is.

Well my opinon is that age doesn't matter at all. If two people like each other or in love...why put an age limit on that? So many people these days think it's weird for people to date younger people. But, someone has to be younger than the other person in the relationship...I've got knews for ya! I've dated both younger and older guys....I see no difference in the whole age thing.

[Bill the Cat] I'm 52, and my Love of my Life is 19. All you kiddies who think there's something wrong with that, hey, GET OVER IT! If you're old enough to make choices like that, who's to say that your choices are somehow "bad" or "wrong"? You don't generally get to pick who you're gonna fall in love with. I didn't, and I know that she didn't either. You get talking with someone, and something clicks inside, and you realize that you've just been talking to someone you want to be around, period. That's it! Doesn't matter who it is, doesn't matter how old. If it works, it works. WHY NOT?? xd heart heart heart heart heart I think it does matter how old they are, from a legal stance. However, in your situation, since you are both legally consenting adults, there is nothing wrong. If this "love of your life" was below the age of eighteen, then I am sure it would be both a matter of the law and that of personal conduct. But we can control who we fall in love with. We can fill ourselves with so much hate that it is impossible to feel love. ***** claim that they cannot help themselves, as do many other people with questionable habits, and to them I say: you can control your actions and emotions, only you don't want to. That is truth. Those who find flaw in it, say so. Those who don't should speak, as well.

I think you are free to love whoever you want. As long as it doesn't go against the law. In your case, you're fine.
There is a borderline of the age difference, though...and some people might think that 33 years is a bit much. My opinion. Others might agree or not agree, it's their opinion, too.
If your girlfriend is alright with that idea then I think your relationship is fine. Yes, you'll get awkward looks when you walk together in public, but that's because you....could actually be her father...so I think it's understandable for people to think things are a bit strange.
You can't just assume that they have something wrong with you guys having a relationship. Society is accustomed to seeing 52 year old men having children who are around the age of 19. When you see a father kissing their children passionately, or exhibiting love out of the father/daughter range...you'll do a double-take, too...

Wiggy... But I guess it comes not only to the legal stance thingy, but also to maturity. Age doesn't necessarily mean maturity, so... yeah. Maturity. So age is only important legally. So as long as she's fine with a... slightly older gentleman, and isn't in it only to screw her parents over, it should be fine.

O___o
Damn, now there's an age difference if I've ever heard of one.
While I do understand that..."age shouldn't matter when it comes to love..." (hell, I've had crushes on much older people) I still don't think people should act on it. I mean...isn't that kind of like a kid dating an adult? I don't care how old/young you are.

whee yeah, why not?
I'm 18, and my boyfriend is 28. When we met, I was 16 and he was 25.
And we didn't talk. barely talked. I randomly asked him to pay my bill at the restaurant we both happened to be in because my sister got angry at me and left me with the bill. So he did and told me there'd be consequences. And we've been together for like 2 years now. 3nodding
I mean. Love is love, right? If both sides agree, then what's the problem?
Though bigger age differences reminds me of Hugh Hefner and the Girls of the Playboy Mansion. whee :heart
