The Beauty Of Truth - by bruce potter

HoW oLd Is ToO oLd?

May 9th 2006 11:38

How old is too old when looking for a partner. Or should I say how young is too young? I don’t think there is a magic number for how many years between 2 people before it doesn’t work. Instead, I think it is all about where each person is at in their life. This is why a 16 year old probably wouldn’t work with a 20 year old but a 26 year old has good chances working with a 32 year old. In the first case, the 16 year old is still working through college thinking about which university to go through, while the 20 year old is wrapping up uni and thinking about career choices. They are at two different life stages, which could get in the way when trying to find goals to work on together. Even though in the second case there are 2 more years in the difference in age than the first one, they would be at a point in their life when they have chosen their careers and is maybe thinking about a family and things. Meaning, they are at similar levels.

Now this isn’t to say all 16 and 20 year old couples cannot work or all 26 and 32 year olds would work. A person’s maturity level and goals are completely individualized. But I think if you take the average person in these age groups, the rule would apply. What do you think?
