Topic Of Discussion - "Age Bracket in a Relationship "

Hey guys, I think age is just a number, but many don't seem to agree. I've brought it for discussion, what do you think, especially in a relationship.

Can you date someone older than you as a man, Likewise, can you date someone younger than you as a lady?

Do you think of age as a priority in living life?

What age are for certain things in life (marriage, school e.tc)?

Hehehehe, one bonus question (A perfect illustration)

if the guy is still in the university and you are done with school, can you wait for the guy if he seems serious?..

Feel free to ask more questions and share your thoughts relating to the topic in the comment section.


Let the discussion begin...

I feel like relationships depend on maturity so yes I can; dated a few older people and let me say if someone doesn't have sense, nothing can change it.

Do you think of age as a priority in living life?

To a point, I won't lie that it isn't, I wouldn't date a teenager or my grandpa.

I still care about a reasonable age gap.

What age are for certain things in life (marriage, school e.tc)?

There is no age for certain things; I went to school at 15, graduated at 19.

I know people who got married at forty; life doesn't have a manual.

Hehehehe, one bonus question (A perfect illustration)

if the guy is still in the university and you are done with school, can you wait for the guy if he seems serious?..

If he has his plans right and I love him, why not, but I guess there will always be a fear that he will finish and leave after all the years of waiting.


I feel like there is no manual for love or relationships, what works for A might not work for B, we should all follow our hearts and when we get something worth it, these petty things shouldn't be a reason to throw it away.

From the bottom, THERES NO AGE TO ANYTHING IN LIFE. I think everybody knows that. Putting an unrealistic target on certain stages in life can put unnecessary pressure on the individual and make them fuxk up. It's okay to have a plan, not okay to have a deadline. Two VERY DIFFERENT THINGs. VERY DIFFERENT.

As much as everyone would say age is not a priority, it should be important. Don't go marrying someone insanely younger than you or vice versa. There is always a gray area Sha when the marriage works out but honestly, it's not a great idea in my opinion.

In the end, age is truly just a number. It doesn't determine anything, literally. Experiences are what makes us, not our age. So whether you choose to be with Methuselah or some fucking kid, the age doesn't matter, a whole of other factors play a very crucial role in the success of the relationship.

Eehn, what do I know about relationships 😂😂. I've only been in one, and it don't seem like another would be happening anytime soon.

Just find and marry your best friend Sha 😅

I feel having deadline is important to one's growth in life. It's better if the deadline is a personal one.

Because goAls without a deadline would likely die from procrastination.

When I think of age, I remember that fool at 40 sentence.

Age is just a number, the only thing that matters is maturity and how responsible a guy is.

I would rather be with a younger person who is very well understanding than an older one who will feel like my father because he is older than me 😂

Age for certain things.

Well this used to exist in the past, I had my plans for life and things I wanted to achieve at certain age.
Maybe graduate from university @20 and all that but

It all doesn't matter anymore, life happened to us, Nigeria decided some of our fate. No matter how hard you push, you can't achieve some goals at those certain times you have set, stop killing yourself.
I have put in my best but some things are just out there to frustrate me, friends, frenemy, familienemy, Countrenemy and things I never imagined can stand as a hindrance, including African dark magic and juju 😂😂😂😁😁😁😀😀

Eweeeee, the list plenty.

And if you have become frustrated concerning this.

Please have a rethink, show yourself some love and take it easy.

Qui cera cera.

Be patient, let it happen when it will... The right time for something might just not be the time you have set for it to happen.

Every time is right
But not everything right can happen all the time.

This is good enough for me.

Let me answer this first before i dive into this main talk because its relates personally to me anyways the bonus question

if the guy is still in the university and you are done with school, can you wait for the guy if he seems serious?..

It depends, first on maturity and responsibility level of the guy in question i am suppose to wait for...

And its also depends on the meaning of wait, wait for marriage or wait to continue a relationship

If it is to continue a relationship definitely yes, there is no harm in waiting expecially if it was a good relationship from the start and both hearts are knitted into each other.

But for marriage , you go wait tire, because no fresh out of school guy will tell me he is ready to settle down, no job, no financial stabilty.

There is one thing we should understand, marriage is not all about love.. love inside marriage is like 20% so if love is the reason you want to wait and marry this particular school guy then .. its the ladies cup of tea but as for me I MOVE...

To add to what you said, love is good oo but marriage without money inside will gradually reduce that love and then persistent disputes. So before any marriage, securing a job, is very important, it's that money that will maintain the marriage no matter how we pretend.

For instance, I request for pampers money and my husband says no money, milk, clothing, name it, food...manage this 3k, men I go vex in bitterness and the love will be on search mood🤩

Age In Dating

As an African man, age is very important in what we do, our culture inclusive. And a man without a culture is a man without a foundation.
It is un-African to get involved in a romantic relationship with someone older than you.
Have you ever wondered why we have the age-grade system in nearly all the ethnic groups we have in Nigeria? It is simply because age is a very important criteria you cannot buy in the market.

Age As A Priority In Living Life

Like I said, age is to be considered while living life. At different age, we have the medical laws by which we must live on so as to live healthily.
As such, to live a comfortable life, age is to be greatly considered.

Age For Things In Life

It would be abnormal for an adult to begin to learn what he ought to have learned during his early years. When a child is born, their is age for crawling, teething, walking etc
Constitutionally, a child (0-18) should not be involved in romantic relationship or live alone no matter the circumstances.
If children within the age bracket mention above gets involved in a sexual relationship it is referred to as child marriage or statutory rape.
If a woman must give birth to children, she must marry before menopause sets in....

Marrying An Undergraduate Guy

I won't advice a lady to marry an undergraduate. Marriage is for those who have independence financially. It is far beyond what you are from the outside if you are not married.
A responsible man should take the lead and must not utterly depend on the wife to provide the basic things of life, though there maybe exemption.

Considering the nature of women, one must not thread on dangerous grounds on the platter that they have fallen in love. I will rather we fall in love with our eyes opened.

Yeah. That's why I started that clearly. If you must marry an undergraduate, he must be financially capable to take care of the family.

Marriage is for those who have independence financially. It is far beyond what you are from the outside if you are not married.

Experience is the best teacher

When reality surfaces, love will start going down drastically.

Money before marriage, full stop 🤷‍♀️

Do you think of age as a priority in living life?

See eh there is one thing i live by, i never see anyone or judge anyone by their age, not even myself.....alot of people have assumed my age so much that i just concur to what they say because age really does not matter.

The few areas that age counts could be jobs, nysc(30 years max) ,and in the hospital to help with the health.

Marriage , friendship, relationship.. age doesn’t matter. What matters is level of maturity.

I know a really young couple 25 and 21 ...newly wed if you have a conversation with them for just a few minutes you would be amazed at the type of knowledge that comes out from Their mouth.so young yet so rich in wisdom.

I know a couple 23 and 45... shocking but i have stayed around this couple and the way they love themselves and God is admirable that i cannot even care so much about the age gap, it is easily forgettable and not noticeable if you are not told.

In age matter and relationship.. one man’s meat is another man’s poison..

But from my personal experience age really doesn’t matter.

i should write a post on my personal experience of being in an age-gap marriage. Thanks for the inspiration BTW It has been blissful

This is beautifully said...
I like been seeing young couple who relate well too.
If the age gap isn't far its uaually blissful.

Maturity matters but make the age gap too no far, they won't relate in thesame level.

23 and 45..wawu. I know that age difference works when they're both older, probably people that haven't married before or divorcee or widow(er). But a young 23 year old? That's a lot.

The society we are in today have placed to much emphasis on the Age factor and this has misled lots of people even leading to depression and other unimaginable things. The real truth is not everybody will achieve certain things at the so called "society set age" because we all have different timing and purpose to fulfil.

Age is not a big deal. So no pressure whatsoever

Back to the questions:

Can you date someone older than you as a man, Likewise, can you date someone younger than you as a lady?

Well, my Ex is 2 years older than me and we dated for almost 2 years with no issues regarding the Age factor. It boils down to maturity, understanding of purpose, respect for each other among others.

Maturity is not by Age.

Do you think of age as a priority in living life?

What age are for certain things in life (marriage, school e.tc)?

So, for both questions...

Hmmmm it is depending on situations. For instance, when it comes to achieving goals and one's desire, age should not be a priority because I believe that the time anyone choose to sit up and chase realistic goals, it is still achievable.
We have heard stories of old people going back to school and taking major u-turns in life.

Though when it comes to certain things life itself has placed age limits on, age at this point can become a priority but not a burden to cause worry.
For example, a woman who wants to give birth to her own children definitely knows she must have them before her menopause age. She can't wake up at age 90 hoping to have a child unless she is Sarah.

if the guy is still in the university and you are done with school, can you wait for the guy if he seems serious?..

Lol😂😂 why not? If you are truly sure he is serious and that's who you want. I don't see a big deal here.
While waiting you can get busy upgrading yourself and building your future together by making plans. Don't fold your arms, do something to grow and explore too.

Some beautiful things are sometimes not meant to last long I guess...but make I no lie her wahala plenty😂😂

Abi oo...age is not written on the head so I don't even understand the fuss about it.

I know of a couple (my high school classmate's parent) that the wife is 10 years older than her husband and they are still happily married with grown up kids... When their son told me ehn, I fess weak but it made me understand clearly that the Age thing we carry for head doesn't really count at the end.

Hello, Naija peeps, how una dey?

Can you marry someone older than you as a man, Likewise, can you date someone younger than you as a lady?

Oh yes as a lady I can, depending on how mature the guy is in terms of marriage and his perspective too about marriage. This is because some men even with an older age behave and think like a child, so that man has to be reasonable enough for my YES,!

Do you think of age as a priority in living life?

To a large extent, I don't think so, however, there is an age difference I can tolerate in marriage so that my children will not have to enjoy life with their Daddy at old age.

What age are for certain things in life (marriage, school e.tc)?

Life has no procedure. There is no specific age to either marriage or school, however, a teenager should not be talking about marriage, likewise an old man. It's advisable to attend school on time or engage in any business of your choice on time, make money while you can at your younger age so you can have your marriage at a reasonable age.

Hehehehe, one bonus question (A perfect illustration)

if the guy is still in the university and you are done with school, can you wait for the guy if he seems serious?..

Well, depending on the level of love we have for each other, his plans for the future even as an under G., and more importantly, if I trust him enough that he wouldn't serve me breakfast, in the long run, 🤩, then my answer is yes, I will.

Well to me, age is not really a barrier, I have seen series of family which the husband will be the same age with the wife or just some months when you guys have that real feeling and you don't care about the age barriers then you are good to go. But the Koko also is money..

Happy weekend, so good to be here

Can you date someone older than you as a man, Likewise, can you date someone younger than you as a lady?

Omo strong question indeed, sincerely speaking I don't think i can oo..lol

Do you think of age as a priority in living life?

It's good to start living a good life at an early age, but it's also bad to rush life just because you feel you are getting old.
To relationship aspect, i think age really Matter to me, at least the guy should be older with 1 year, but then not more than 5 years😂, i wouldn't want to marry my father's age mate biko

What age are for certain things in life (marriage, school e.tc)?

For me, except circumstances beyond is like late admission, Asuu strike
At least by 16 ot 17 someone should be out of secondary school, 22 years one should be done with University and by 25years a girl should be married.

Then for guy at least 28-32 years he should be married
Just saying from my side of view tho😜

if the guy is still in the university and you are done with school, can you wait for the guy if he seems serious?..

Sure, if he is serious and at have plans for himself
I have even seen student (boy)get married as far as you can Carter for a family why waste time getting married
