hey guyz 
what do u think of girlz marrying older guyz? max like up to 10 years older. ebefnits? disadvantages?
Re: Marrying older guy
it's pretty common thing... But I would not like a difference of more than 5 years in age!
Re: Marrying older guy
depends on the person himself
if hes uncle type (sorry uncles:halo:
) then prolly not but if hes ok and can keep up with me then i dont think age matters
Re: Marrying older guy
well it happens quite a lot actually..but in my opinion its not the age gap as much as it is generation gap. I mean, 4/5 or even 6 yearz max sounds ok but 10yrz a bit a lot.
how do u think he will be able to keep up with u ?.. 10 yrz of diff is a lot. You both will have different level of humour, have different interests and may have different perspective of life. Dont you think?
Re: Marrying older guy
well i know guys who r in their 30's or close but still we get along
so i dont think its a problem
and alot of guys despite being my age cant cuz we have different POV's
so it actually deppends on the person and personality not age
its wat i think
Re: Marrying older guy
kb is right it really depend on a person i get along more with my elder brothers then the younger one.i know sumone who is married to a guy who is alot older he s fine i dont know y the girl started looking auntie sort n even behaving in an auntie way
Re: Marrying older guy
i think the mentality wuld b an issue- for example: my sis is married to a guy 10 yrs older than her- and wen they argue or fight he always brings up the fact that hes 10 yrs older than her and 10 yrs matured- and always wants to prove himself right bc he has more experience-- and she kinda has to deal with it--i would hate that personally- so id say 5 yrs is max for me- and i agree with KB-- if hes uncle type then woahh- no no lol :)
Re: Marrying older guy
Age is just a number :) Maturity and compatability is what matters
Re: Marrying older guy
Kali moti bili i agree with u.....my husband is abt 11 yr older than me...and we never had any problem:D
Re: Marrying older guy
11 year older? you’re kidding me, right?
what do they say in german? “Frischfleisch” 
Re: Marrying older guy
mucksmäuschen^^:D
Re: Marrying older guy
even i would not want a difference more than 5 years
Re: Marrying older guy
lol, i know plenty of guys in their 30's who specifically want a younger wife (10yrs +) because of their lack of life experience. they think they can mould her into the kind of woman they want her to be and that she will adopt their views and rely on them and their experience ---> basically someone who is very dependent on their husband!
Re: Marrying older guy
my mom used to say marry a girl 5 years younger than you…she’ll keep you young
yeah “Frischfleisch” keeps “Altesfleisch” young …
@mucksmäuschen:
what does that mean now? ^ ^
Re: Marrying older guy
Young and old has nothing to do with age rather mentality. If you are old fashioned than you could be same in age with your spouse and still have trouble. Best thing is to discuss your personality, likes and dislikes before marriage.
and i always thought u knw german 
.lol…

well i dnt agree with this statment....in a perfect relationship both husband and wife r dependent on eachother......
and yes i think the guy shuld be lil older than the girl....or do u want cat fights all time???
Re: Marrying older guy
erm, i'm saying that's what some of older men want when they choose younger wives.
you mention a 'perfect relationship' too. i didn't say anything about that.
my friend's mum was something like 20 years younger than her husband, he passed away and now she's completely dependent on her children. when her husband was alive he did everything for her and with her and she can't even go and buy groceries on her own. i'm sure she was very happy while he was alive but now he's not there she has no confidence to do anything on her own.
anyway, i'm not saying there is anything wrong with this set-up, i just remarked that some people specifically go for this.
are we forgetting that the prophet's first wife was significantly older than him? anything can work, it depends on the individuals.
It's really one's own choice and preference. I don't see any significant "benefit"if you marry a much older guy. However, I do think that there is one big disadvanatge of this and that is the difference of maturity level of two people.
Personally, I would like to marry a guy who looks and feels and thinks like my husband and not like my daddy. Maximum age difference should be 10 years and no more than that but that is my own take on this issue.
