Ageless . . . Timeless

[shouldknowbetter]

Here is an oldie but goodie . . .

Is age a factor in relationships? Is there a point at which you think that there is too much of an age differential? If so, how much?

I think the 20 year mark earns a good differential. While I think love is love, and people shouldn't be kept from it based on age, many times people who are very far apart in age may experience difficulty finding common intrests.

My mom once dated a man twenty years her senior. She did like some of the things he liked. But he refused to try new things, and was constantly complaining about shit. He hated rock and roll because it was "noise" to him, and had almost no common ground with the way my mother grew up.

As men are usually the elder...

in these kind of relationships I reckon it'll work alright as long as the male partner can lower his mental age by whatever the age difference is.

If he can't, the whole thing's doomed...

Doomed I say...

Doomed...
