Age gap relationships, what is all the fuss about?

What’s age got to do with it? Relax and enjoy. Let’s just take in life a day at a time and make the most of it.

Labels like; ‘cougar’, ‘sugar daddy’, ‘cradle snatcher’, ‘pervert’; are all scornful and hurtful terms sucking away all the joy of living.

Are you going to let this colourful words affect your happiness?

You’re a fool if you do. You alone and only you can decide whether outsiders, who know nothing about you, should censure what you’re experiencing in your life.

Bottom line dating has no written rules, we have to experiment and judge for ourselves.

If the person you’re with, whether older or younger than yourself, makes you feel happy and is great in the sack, who gives a hoot? You’re left with a big smile across your face and look younger than any of them, because sex after all makes ‘you look 7 years younger’ and is great for your health.

People connect with people of all sorts of ages for a variety of reasons. Don't think that you're supposed to be with someone your age. If you know the relationship is right, then stick with it. Like any relationship, if it's sincere and you're both committed to making an effort, it can work.

Ironically, interests, beliefs and values have nothing to do with age. The concept of ‘sameness’ almost in any dimension of society or societies as such are bonding qualities, which will either draw or repel people from each other. Let’s reiterate, “What’s age got to do with it?”
Like any other relationship, age gap relationships, will have their own set of challenges. All relationships, irrespective need work to be successful.

Don’t hide your newfound fling/love because society disagrees. As Mark Twain once said: “Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.” – Mark Twain


Do you have an “ideal” age difference? What is it? What is the biggest age difference that you think can work long term?

    Hubby is 10 yrs older and when we first started dating 13yrs ago, it caused the biggest shit fight in my family. At the age of 19 I chose him over my family and moved out. We got married 6 years later and next month will be celebrating not only our 7th wedding anniversary but 13yrs together. As he says "You're only as old as the woman you feel"
