Should "She" be younger than "He" in a Relationship?

Ideally, both should be about the same age: If you have butterflies in your stomach, the question of age is completely irrelevant. However, what matters to me is whether a relationship also has a future. And for me that depends largely on common interests, among other things. A large age difference or different activity levels can be a major obstacle. What happens when the age difference eventually catches up with the relationship? One is still fully engaged in life and the other already wants to retire? That's why for me both partners should be around the same age.

She should be younger: I voted for that she should be younger. Not 20 or 30 years younger than the man, but it could be a little. In my opinion, women mature much earlier than men and therefore things between their peers are unlikely to work out.

This particularly applies to partnerships under 25. Later the genders become more and more similar.

I think all is possible, but he shouldn't be younger than her. Otherwise, it always reminds me of something like a mother-child relationship, for me, it has no longer anything to do with a partnership of equals. You can see this with all the old female stars who try to adorn themselves with a young man. I just find that ridiculous.

Ideally, both should be about the same age: I think it's best if both partners are about the same age. For example when thinking about the generation and time experienced together, which has an incredible bond. Otherwise, one person always doesn't know what the other is talking about.

She should be younger: Don't ask me why, but I think she should definitely be younger than him. For me it's kind of like an unwritten law.

As a man, I would feel completely ridiculous in a relationship with an older woman, as if she were my mother. As a woman in a relationship with a younger man, I couldn't feel protected.

It doesn't matter - only love counts: The question of whether the age difference should have an impact in a relationship is a subjective question that depends on the individual preferences and values of the people involved.

Some people may prefer a partner who is older, while others may prefer their partner to be younger. Ultimately, the decision about age difference in a relationship should be made by the people involved and should be mutual and consensual. It is important to note that the consent and mutual goodwill of everyone involved in a relationship is of utmost importance.
