Wide Age Gap Relationship + R/ship Btw A Younger And Older Guy + Does Age Matters In A R/ship? (Compiled)

[lonely57]

i dont mind slightly older either.. but the thing is im nt a twink D:

[SoSonni]

I'm 19 going 20. 28 is perfectly fine for me, although a lot of my friends have disagreed hahaha.

[StupidBoy]

I would prefer someone of my age, seems to able to interact/communicate better.

 

Though I not a twink LOL!

[Exynos]

35 years old is man's prime age, imo

[Cereal]

I'm 27 yo this year my bf is 52 yo this year

[joshboy]

yes as long as u look good even 100 also pple want

 

and pple in the 20s,even late 20s have no problem finding bf in the teens..

 

ive seen teens having sex and finding old bf in the 60s..

[darkflame]

It really depends.

 

Looks and character matters a lot.

But financial stability is very important for me.

 

I'm not a twink anyway. Oh well.

[SeannyShortcake]

I'm a twink.

 

I don't mind older or younger as you have a mature mindset and a pleasant disposition.

[GoodBoyRan]

I had no idea 28 counted as an 'older' guy. 

 

I'm 22, I think men (or people, rather) of any age can be attractive.

 

If I fall for a person, it'll be for who he is, not the number of years he had lived.

Most of my friends say over 25 is UNCLE. This poisoned way of speaking has created a new bad word and a bad attitude for everyone's future life. Hope will stop.

Those r nt frens. Those r brats.

[Guest twinkied]

Well at least twinks are very honest abt what u r.

[Guest 21years age gap]

I am 20 y.o. and my hubby is 41 y.o...I love him

[sean_sean]

sometimes i find mature men are more charming than younger ones.

[souljaboy]

Isn't it already a known fact that different people, twink or not, have different preferences?

[mydontay]

age really doesn't matter!

[ahboy]

34c stocky top guy seeking ltr here

[Slynn]

26-30 is entirely fine with me. That being said, im 23 so im not a twink. (twinks sounds super lame rwarwar)

 

i guess the largest age difference gap i can accept is 8 years

[Guest vanillaCream]

I'm 21 & my BF is 36. We've been together for more than a year!

[merlinkun]

Common interest is a good place to hang on to regardless of age.

 

I would be mad if my older boyfriend keep beating me in Pokemon though. lol

no la.. uncle is above 35 to me la..but its about looks and how u dress and behave.. u can be 21 n i feel u look uncle. If you are balding, unshaven mustache, pale as an ass, with paunch belly and wear slippers, faded flowery berms with hold in the pocket. u can be 21 and be uncle.

[khanomjeen]

Looks and personality.

 

can twinks be fat and ugly and long yellow hair or sissy? then no thanks

[PinkPANther]

I often hear my friend telling he can't find a twink as a bf as most twinks not into older guys . He's 28 . So to all those twinks (or maybe twinks that you know ) , do you /they mind such age ?

 

Would I be considered a twink? If yes, I don't really mind someone older, but with that said, I still hope that he's not too far from my age!

[Xavier Soh]

I have a question... how old are considered twinks?? *scratch head*

It's not age-specific. Refer to this for a more comprehensive grasp of the term: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twink_%28gay_slang%29

So its more of features specific rather than an age thing?

Yes.

[Xavier Soh]

Yes.

Thanks, i thanked ya on a pte chat le though. maybe ya missed it or something

[dansim]

I have had bf 10 years older than me, and 5 years younger than me.

[Guest 50+yo Fit Uncle]

Che, I am 50+yo and I get twinks chasing after me all the time.

It is I who mind lol

They are boring and not my cup of tea.

[plutofero]

I dont think they mind. It's just the chemistry and level of maturity have to be right.

[G_M]

Similar topics have been discussed, so do take a look at some of the earlier posting. 

[thaiboyz]

Naturally we tend to imagine the older ones will go first. I can imagine the impact on older guys who have lost their younger partners.

Imagine an old man of 60 plus who has lost his young partner. He might have wished that one lying there is himself, not his boy boy who was 25 years younger. But well it's fate and god has decided to take him away.

The dead is gone, left behind a lonely old man who live in solitude and memories, isn't it so sad ?

[Ruggerbeez]

I haven't read through the entire topic, but I decided to chime in regardless.

 

There is a famous "Standard Creepiness Rule" which suggests that for the sake of propriety, one should try not date another person under "Half Your Age Plus Seven Years".

 

So if you don't want outsiders to look at you askance, no one older than 65 should be in a relationship with anyone younger than 39 and a half, no one older than 22 should be in a relationship with anyone younger than 18, and no one under 14 years of age should be in a relationship at all...

 

There's even a chart for quick reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Half-age-plus-seven-relationship-rule.svg

[joshboy]

i think that rule is right

i hate it when young twinks go after old guys.. the claim its  not the money, but yet chase for things like car, free lunch, drinks and "care" since these uncles have alot of time to spare

 

and worst are twinks that give their love to the oldies.. and the oldie treat the young thing nothing more than a money boy, and move on when there is a fresher piece of meat

[abang]

I may apply this simple rule:

 

I would date someone who is within 30% of my age.

Let say I am 50 now... my dates may range from 35 to 65.

This way, I dont seem to be out of synch with the current trends  nor too naive for my older dates.

I think I will find a twinks richer than me...

[chubblion]

i like guys that's 39 and above. Maturity smells good.

[Cereal]

my first bf is only 1 month older than my current bf. i am 27yo they are both 52 yo this year. first relationship lasted for almost 7 yrs. 

 

i dont go for mature guys for their $$. i just like mature guys. but i think it may be due to lack of fatherly love when i was growing up...

Cherish the good memories u have with him... Don't care what other ppl thinks says or even bother about the age factor... If u are happy with him thats the only important things u should think of...

[Ruggerbeez]

I had always assumed that Twinks were named after Hostess Twinkies - simply because they were Golden and Cream Filled...

[Guest skinny boy]

Though my bf is around my age, always dreamt of having a mature good-looking muscular bottomish straight-looking bf.. haha.. Guess that is just a fantasy.. Always good to have something to day-dream about.. XD

[cjh]

prefer my bf to  be as close as my age though so both can take care of one another and no need bother about the top or bottom ackwardness.

[doncoin]

I think 10 years age gap is the max. Reason I say that is because the level of maturity etc. will be a lot closer. Plus I always picture this in my head: it is one thing that the older guy is 50, and the younger guy 25. Fast forward 25 years, the older guy will be 75, but the younger will only be 50. Imagine a photo taken together. 

[Guest ~smile~]

I'm 21 this year n my bf is 36!

Well, it so happens that I am 50 and my bf is 24. Somehow, the "Half Your Age Plus Seven Years" don't apply to us.  Still, we have been together for more than 7 month now and we are still going strong.  Not that we do not have our problems, but we make sure we talk about it.

 

Don't let anyone tells you that it won't work. For relationship to work;

 

LOVE + EFFORT + PATIENCE + UNDERSTANDING = RELATIONSHIP IN PROGRESS

I agree 100% that there is no guidebook on what will work and what won't when it comes to relationships.

 

I can only share from personal observations. Part of what I feel can be challenging with such a wide age difference is for the younger guy. When i was younger, I dated a guy who was 12 years my senior. It worked great for the first couple of years, as he somewhat provided a mentor figure etc. However, as i got older, I find myself outgrowing my need for that and also coming into who I am as an individual. Things ended between us when he realised I am no longer needed him as much. I guess we fed off each other's needs. Me needing someone in the mentor/father figure role and him needing someone younger and to feel needed.

[Guest Horny chub]

My current bf is 5 yrs older than me and we hv been together for >5 yrs. we are from very different backgrounds and upbringings. We hv different view in lots of matters: politics, interests, world and culture. We also hv some gap in terms of financial/earning capacity.

But all these never stopped us from being & staying together. I seriously think a relationship will only work if both parties is willing to maintain and keep it going. Respect, consideration, love and understanding are the 4 corner stones of a successful relationship.

[imAmos]

imo 5 years is still okay.

 

10 years might have a bit of gap.

 

But if both parties are able to accept each other as they are, then it probably doesn't matter that much. 

[Guest guest]

What is the difference in age between you and your partner, or up to what age difference do you think is acceptable or do you think it does not matter ?
