how is 21 and 30 a huge age gap? I'm 24 and I've been with a 36 and 38 year old…so what?..i know she's saying "so what" too…but that's not even a huge age gap in my opinon.

Вообще я люблю написать какую-нибудь скабрезную критику, но тут ни к чему не придраться!

My boyfriend is 12 years older than me. And it's not really that big of a deal. We enjoy eachother's company. I'm not an exploited young woman, and he's not blowing all of his savings on me. He has his career going, and I'm just starting mine, but that's our biggest difference.

Neither one of us wants to marry for at least another 5-10 years, and we're not assuming it's going to be with eachother. Neither of us are sure if we want kids (with eachother or otherwise).

We just work. His parents like me. My parents like him. I get some flak from some friends and co-workers every so often, but it's all in jest. I'm level headed and the people close to me see that he's making me happy right now and the people close to him know I'm making him happy. And that's all that matter right now.

Should anything else happen later (break up, engagement, or just years of more dating), happens! We take it one day at a time and don't pressure ourselves to fit into any sort of relationship (or lack of) or role just because society thinks our age difference is weird.

I dont like law grad. I think a lot of 30 year old women are bitter that they are still not married and that they were too wild and stupid to get a guy when they were still young and hot. Now that they have saggy boobs and an extra 20 – 30 lbs, they are pissed that the nice guys are looking for something better. I mean look to the olden days were an age difference was the norm. Now women are getting married in their early 30s which is biologically idiotic if they want to have children. It is an insult to the 30 year old guy to say that he is skeevy and an insult to the 20 year old girl to say that she is naive. Why do you assume there is something wrong with both of them? Have you not considered that it may just be true love, that the girl knows what she is getting into, and that the guy is not trying to manipulate her in any way? Maybe the age different couples are the smart ones. Certainly sounds better to me than waiting until you are 30 and your uterus is almost dried up and then bitching because you finally just became mature enough to have a serious relationship, but now you are ugly and fat and none of the good guys want you.

I am 20 dating and also dating a 29 (almost 30) year old who happens to be finishing his phd. I have to deal with annoying people like lawgrad08 all the time. I am not naive and my boyfriend is not using me for some perverse pleasure (he actually wishes i were older). Can you just lighten up, butt out, and stop thinking you are so wise and mighty just because you are a little bit older than me?

You go lena for having the guts to spill the beans about your relationship on a public forum. wishing the best for you and hope everything goes great for you two!

Age is no bar for sex, if you can perform on bed.

I often find myself questioning the very same issues… I think age is JUST a number but it also depends on what place you're at in your life.. 21 to 22 or 22 to 23 means the difference between college and the real world, and a lot of changes can happen. I think it depends on you, the guy and what kind of effort you're both willing to put in. Love college candy!

i am 21. my boyfriend is 36. 15 years. do it bother me? not one single bit. does it bother him? sometimes yes it does.

we get along very well. he works 830-6 everyday as a sales manager and i work 2 part time jobs 6 days a week. we have many common interests, music, movies, books, we even have very similar tastes in food. neither one of us are looking to get married soon or settle down with one another, we've only been together a few months. we talk all the time and discuss just about anything under the sun, we care about each other, look out for each other, and our chemistry is out of this world. that said, we do disagree on many points as well, but it doesn't affect us at all.

as long as two people are happy together i don't think age matters.

Deleting posts in a comment thread does not help readers. UGH. While I understand the main point Lena Chen was making…her sideview point was also passing (small)judgment on those who want to work 60-70/hrs a week and are happy about because they are type A. Lena Chen is happy freelancing someone else is happy fielding armageddon or whatever. That's that.

I do think girls mature faster than boys…but that stops at a certain point. Really we are talking about a couple of years not 5 or 10. Sorry but no 18 year old girl is going to be on the level of a 30 year old man.

The only real significant gap is the point at which either sex wants to pursue romantic exclusivity (nesting). Most women are born with a natural preference for exclusivity/nesting (I said most not all). (Most) men on the otherhand reach that point later (much later).

SO this isnt about (emotional/experience/understanding each other) maturity this is about at what point either party is ready to be in a committed exclusive relationship. So late 20/early 30's guys are most likely going to be ready to start nesting. Choosing someone barely in their 20's – well that's male preference for getting someone as young as they can get and it still be legal. Thats not LOVE kids…thats something else all together…when you young girls start getting to that certain age you'll know exactly what I am talking about…its a whole different animal…its just that teen/young adult women arent experienced enough to know the difference. Dont you just love youth?
