Age
we all age, we all get older and wiser, but think about it for a second.
Age is probably one of the most controversial factors of being a human being in modern society. I mean, How old is too old for people? When are you too old to date and should start to think about marriage? When is a partner too old or too young for you? When are you too old to work and should retire? At what age, do you feel, you should stop being a child and start being an adult?
I mean, if a 30 year old man and an 18 year old woman were together, what would you think? the girls a prostitute? the man's a pervert? they might be in love? what?!
I'm just interested, as we all have our own views on age and age related issues. I would be offended if I was denied work for being a teenager, but if an O.A.P was denied work, I could sort of understand where the employer was coming from.

Well, as a man that was romantically (and not only romantically >_> ) involved with 15yo girls, I must say age matters a damn lot. It's actually best to find a partner that is of similar age... No matter how intelligent the other person is, you will end up getting annoyed by immature behavior/thinking/reasoning.
I'm not sure how does it work vice-versa, ie. me 22 and the woman being, like, 30. I guess that would be heavily sex related. I mean, can't imagine me being still technically young while she would already become a grandma. It would work here and now, but relationship.. idk.
30 yo man and 18 yo woman is imho pretty fine, but the man needs to be, well, aware that 18yos aren't mature at all. I'm not counting exceptions, since I never met them.
I feel I'm 30yo mentally myself ;D

as a person who dated women 20 years older age is not allways the differnce. see the point is people behave mentally and sexually different. women told me i had differnt mentality,older,while frindes said they had younger. In retrospect i feel it is neither,but point is its nothing ....out of the ordinery if you know what i mean..

This is the part where someone brings up the "Half your age plus Seven" minimum age rule, which is considered to be a reasonable approximation of our culture.
This is the part where someone makes an unwanted list of opinions.
Love-based marriage is a stupid idea.
Age disparity is irrelevant.
The most successful men should get most of the women.
Marriage is dead. Our divorce court system killed it.
This is the part where someone points out that the author of this post is a barbarian and should be deported to Antarctica.

Well, I'm personally not so interested in too much older women and getting too much younger would be pedophilic in my age, but I don't see any age problems when both really wan tit. Age is nearly as unimportant as appereance there - that is, it can be, if both partners wish, and then I got no problem...as long as it's not too far off...like a 20 year old dating a 60 year old...I mean, besides that it's extremely unaesthetic, how could they be on the same level in ways, of view of the world, experience, etc.

They're not supposed to have the experience & outlook. That's pointless; neither side benefits from the arrangement. What you want is opposed points of view so that the two partners can balance and reach a useful compromise.

opposed point of view? What for, to disagree often and have nothing in common?
Similar point of view is wayyyyy better.

Let's for example. A man who spends money like water. He will never save up more than 2 dollars on his own.
Does he want to marry:
a) A woman who is tight-pursed. They will constantly argue unless one of them is mature enough to understand compromise (which is quite rare these days). But at least their children will have a house to live in.
b) A woman who also spends money like water. Together the two of them can declare bankruptcy every 3 years. But at least they have something in common.
c) Kill him and throw him in a dumpster cause he's obviously incapable of learning and we don't want his fail sauce in our gene pool.

The art is to find someone you have enough in common with to feel comfortable, but enough differences having to cope with to learn and develop.

Why example based on money? It's only based on the amount they already have and are earning per week/month. If they are incredibly rich, like Hollywood actors, they can happily spend the money together on water till the end of their life. So it's not a good example 
I agree with mvass, D) would be the best for your average man though. If she opposed his hobby, he'd get heavily annoyed. Well, I'd get annoyed by that anyway. This is not the way to have a relationship

I guess its different in different countries etc... but in Sweden a relationship with a 15yr old CHILD would be illegal and you would be judged as a pedophile.
Eww... when I start in the eight grade now the girls will turn 15. That sounds a bit weird and disgusting then... :S
Anyway, on the OP.
Lol I dont think you get "wiser" as you age. There are lots of stupid and senile old people aswell as adults (hello George Bush Usch).
You should never "think about marriage" unless you are religious but here marriage is mostly like a party. Its a fun thing to do and to express your love. And after the marriage, if you dont like the person then you can just leave.
Any age is okay but only if the person is over 18 years old. Otherwise its just disgusting... You are never to old to date. Do whatever you want.
You should only be able to retire untill you are +60 years old. Then you can get some rest the last 20 years of your life.
You can be a kid untill you decide to get children (if you want those monsters like me xD).
But sometimes the young/old relationship is a bit to much. Look at Anna Nicole Smith. She had a relation with like a 80yr old man -.- I doubt she really loved him. She just wanted the money.

How sad you don't even know about your own precious country you keep mouthing about, xerox.
Age of consent:
Sweden 15 15 15
The first one is legal age for heterosexual sex, the second man/man, the third woman/woman.
In other words, it's perfectly legal.
And you'd be surprised how much sex your "innocent" 15yo female friends could already have. Unless they live a sheltered life like you, ofc. Anyway, your female school mates are disgusting for you? Maybe you should try out the boys then.

My girl was a lot prettier  You can ask Elvin, he's seen her.
Xerox of course didn't take in consideration that women mature way faster than men. While 15yos girls engage in hot sex of all kinds, 15yo boys still collect pokémon cards.
At least I did.

I quoted you the real age of consent. If you can't read, it's not my problem. Go troll elsewhere Xerox
Quote:
The age of consent in Sweden is 15, as specified by the Swedish Penal Code, Chapter 6 (On Sexual Crimes). The age of fifteen is referred to several times, for example in Section 4, which reads: "A person who has sexual intercourse with a child under fifteen years of age or who with such a child carries out another sexual act that, having regard to the nature of the violation and the circumstances in general, is comparable to sexual intercourse, shall be sentenced for rape of a child to imprisonment for at least two and at most six years."
You think of 15yo girls as "children"? Lmfao. I'd gladly introduce you to my ex. She'd teach you a thing or two

You obviouslyhave no idea what pedophile actually means Printer-guy... being pedophile is when you are attracted to children 15 year girls aren't children anymore. You're a pedophile if you are attracted to >13 year olds.
If you're 50 and try to get it on with 14 year olds I'd say that's pedophile but since Doom is only 49 I think he's still on the safe side.

@Xerdux
Aha, so when you are 17 years old you can have a 15 years old girlfriend, but 1 year later, doing the same thing, it is making you a pervert pedophile?
The concept of pedophile changed radically during XX century, mainly due to INTERNET and fast meeting platforms. If you look deeply in your genealogy Xerdux, you will be surprised to find a lot of "pedophiles" in it.
This has nothing to do with age, but with aggressive recent tendencies.
There were sexual predators in any age, but today they can easily hunt and hurt. Thus the law had to change.
