When I was at Uni this girl fresh from Naija joined my class in the second year, both the same age and after a while I wanted to move in on her but she stopped my advance by telling me that she dates older men! that am too young for her! fair enough! we became friends within a period of 4 years she ended up sleeping with loads Married men who lied to her or those who have a fiancee waiting somewhere for them, in the end she had to travel back to Naija look for a bobo to marry then came back with her but the guy looked more like a pensioner!!!

IT'S UR LIFE!

Honestly, I think I like older gals. From my experience, they tend to be more mature and understanding than the younger ones.

But there's limit to the age gap thing oo. For me, maximum of 3 years is ok. Anything above that is not welcome.

Skillworks.

I can if she pretty and doesn't look older,most importantly if she has good manners.

Marriage should be contracted when you are convinced that God has shown you the right person, it doesnt matter the age difference.

Busy_body:

Nothing wrong there, age is just a number and a lot of people don't know how to act their age anyway.
Here we go again with Nigerians and "their" culture cool

My sister age is more than a number though i do accept that people do not act on their age based on the circumstance they have passed through in Life.

My sister what can we do without that culture, cool. When i said culture i was just stating one of the reasons and not all the reasons why i don't support that notion. I know you understand me grin

ThiefOfHearts:

Their same culture believed twins should be killed

These people just like to yarn dust

Who are the people yarning dust if i may ask and can you tell any culture in the world that does not its own barbaric side? Yes we killed twins yesterday but not anymore and we would have still achieved that without the help of the whites.

jextoban:

aint no big deal in dating or marrying a lady older than me .am not surprised at those that said no or never.it shows how immature they re when it comes to love.when you love someone ,age will automatically be a mere factor of numbers. yall need to grow up and handle biz like an adult and stop using culture as a motherfucking excuse.

So it is now maturity in your dictionary when you date or marry older woman and immaturity for those who do not do it right? have you heard about the word choice and preference? One mans meat is another man's poison so don't jump to conclusions and name calling which is immature.

chiogo:

LMFAO!!! They woulda killed my siblings with their so-called culture. SMH!!!

Oh please. Agreed, it has nothing to do with culture. But saying you can't date or marry someone who's older/younger doesn't make one immature. It's called choice/preference. It's only immature if there's no reason behind it except "culture".

@topic, younger guys?? nah. Ok, I have so many reasons. If he's younger then he'll be in school with me or something and myself, I'm gonna be in school for a LONG time as far as I know. We can't both be in school struggling when it comes to marriage. uh uh.

Again, I like to feel protected and pampered. If he's younger, I'm supposed to be doing the pampering?? oh hell no tongue That's like raising another child.

From experience, some of 'em like to be spoon-fed, some can be very mature for their age. But um, nah. Considering that women age faster than men. That's another factor. I can't be looking like his mother. lipsrsealed

My sister what you have just explained is the same thing the culture which we are condemning here will also explain if you take your time to find out.
omar22:



This is a perfect case of letting society predict or colonizing on how you should live your life?

Its called shallow minded or narrow vision,  how long before the word "Our Culture" pops out!!!

Do you honestly think you can live your life without the society?
Re: Would You Date/marry An Older Girl? why or why not? by Feelitx(m): 6:55pm On Oct 20, 2009
of course. They offer more support,show more love and throw less tantrums.
Re: Would You Date/marry An Older Girl? why or why not? by shamespury: 11:09pm On Oct 20, 2009

Maybe, but then I might never find out as I'm not using "culture" as my reason. It's mostly my personal opinions. I know myself better, thank you.

It's true most of the time from what I've seen but then again, it depends on the individuals.
Some people don't mature early so they tend to look young even when old, especially skinny people.

you are right, it depends on the individual and not ON THE GENDER.

humans tend to see what they want to believe and what really exists. 

age aint nothing but a number (no pedo though)

Age is just a number .
Re: Would You Date/marry An Older Girl? why or why not? by Rooneyboy(m): 3:18am On Oct 21, 2009
Those of u saying no r just saying so because u've not fallen in love with u before.
Re: Would You Date/marry An Older Girl? why or why not? by gasbi2: 5:13am On Oct 21, 2009
I think the maturity of the person really counts in rocking the relationship and not the age.have seen a matured guy of 25yrs and a guy of 45yrs that has a brain of 15yrs. to me age is just a number.maturity really plays a big factor.too bad if you dont no this.

[i]age is not maturity we all know that. aguy may be older and dont bhave mature, on the other hand, u see a younger bros and he bhaves mature, so which will u go for? one mans food another mans poison, and vice versa.[/i] cool lipsrsealed[quote][/quote]decisions left for u alone to.
Re: Would You Date/marry An Older Girl? why or why not? by chiogo(f): 11:17am On Oct 21, 2009
Age is not just a number, sorry. That's another "urban legend" in Bawo's word, which many people use these days.

Many people saying they're comfortable dating/marrying someone younger/older still place a difference limit on it e.g s(he) can't be more than ---- years younger/older than me. If age isn't a number, why not date/marry someone who's old/young enough to be your granny or child? I'm just saying.

Age is more than a number, depends on what the number means to you.
Re: Would You Date/marry An Older Girl? why or why not? by mrofficial(m): 1:01pm On Oct 21, 2009
I won't!

It will definitely be like of chris and rihanna

Even when the guy is older, its kinda hard, talk of when she's older, na die.
Re: Would You Date/marry An Older Girl? why or why not? by Chozn1(f): 3:23pm On Oct 21, 2009
I'd rada date a guy dat's younger and acts more mature dan a guy dat's older and acts younger as u knw many of d guys do. So it's a question of maturity not just in age but in acts, words and thots. Chikena
