If age really doesn't matter then how come....?

Question

when ppl are in there teenage years. guys wont go out with a girl if they are like 5 years younger then them...i know that ppl say its illegal for like an 18 year old to go out with a 14year old. but still why do ppl get married and they have like a 10year age difference but guys find it weird to go out with a girl that's like more than 3 years younger than them.

Answer 1

it all has to do with maturity levels and comfort levels. a 20 and 30 yr old would have a different relationship then a 15 and 25 yr old.  

Answer 2

In the long run, age isn't more than a number. At the ages you are talking about, age is indicative of huge differences in maturity, both mentally and physically.  

Answer 3

It DOES matter when the girl is a minor hon.Also when a guy is 27 and she is 18  he is an adult and understands the teenage mind set and the 18 yr .old girl is easily manipulated bu an older guy  like that.

He does not see her as an equal but some one easy to control.

Answer 4

because its different when teenagers are dating.. there like in school.. it would be kinda weird of like a senior was dating like a 7th or 8th grader thats just gross.

like people that are 10 years apart and married its like a senior going into a kindergarten room and picking out a girl to date... its just how it works.  

Answer 5

Because: 1. If both people are adults, then it's mutually legal and 2. Adults can tolerate differences better and don't have peer pressure.

Answer 6

There is a big matureity difference. The teen years are when we go through puberty and become adults. Physicaly and mentally there is quite a difference. But when you 26 and 35 both people are fully developed and filled out.
