If you were their parent would you be worried?
Let's say your son who is 23 says he's dating a 30 year old woman. Would you be worried?
I'd be more concerned about her character than her age. Seven years isn't a huge age gap. They would still have a few things in common.
No I would not be worried, as it is normal.
Not sure why you don't have that option.
It’s impossible to say from such little detail, the maturity of “my son” would need to be taken into account - is this woman in the same life stage as him? There is also the question of what she’s like as a person, does she seem like she wants a younger partner as they are easier to manipulate or does she treat him as an equal?
At 23 there’s nothing a parent can really do about this regardless, unfortunately telling someone that their partner doesn’t have their best interests at heart often just makes them dig their heels in to “prove you wrong”.
Depends on how serious it is and how their values on having kids align. If they wait 5 years to start having kids, that’s not gonna be fun for her. But other than that I don’t see it making a difference at all.
How is it a problem to have kids at 35? lol. No one I know has kids yet. I'm in my 30s and I plan to have kids in my 40s.
35 is a normal average age to have kids most people have kids over 40 where I live. My parents had me early 40s and had my sister in their mid 40s no problem. Weird comment. Heck my coworker in my last job was 48 and was pregnant with her first and my cousin's in their 40s are all having either their first or second now. Not sure what you mean by won't be fun. These are happy people with happy children very much fun since they're bringing life into the world.
Lol. Why does you comment read so angry? Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and preferences. For myself, I absolutely do not want to be chasing toddlers in my late 40s. Not even in my late 30s. Lol. And I know many people that share my opinion. I also know many people who share yours. It’s not that big of a deal.
7 year age gap for an older woman? That sets off some red flags. My limit is a 5 year gap. Granted I'm in a 5 year age gap (for like 7% of the year) relationship.
Also guys mature slower so that's why I have a partial bias against dating older women.
What if he's a nerdy kid who is studying in medical school and she's a waitress/ wedding photographer no degree.
Do you think that's also unbalanced? Thanks for the input
Still yes. I see a gold digger situation in that case. Even with the age difference.
Guys need to be paranoid about the people we have relationships with.
Wait why did you think she's a gold digger? She's not in the relationship for money. Her family is wealthier and her Mother is a surgeon, her father co owns a company. She already gets money from them and she gave money to him for his studies even though he didn't want it. She seems in love with him but the age is the main thing I'm asking about
I wouldnt be worried no. Id prefer him to date a chic his age or a little younger but its his choice and not a huge deal.
