Given the expected lifespans of men and women, seems that this is a better fit for a lifetime together than younger woman older man. 🧐

I started dating my now-husband when he was 24 and I was 34. Our age gap was a bit challenging in the first couple of years because he had some growing up to do, and at times I admit I came close to calling it off because of the maturity issue. However, we have a child together (unplanned) and are in a good place now at 34 and 44. Your age gap is much smaller, and I think you’ll be fine. My observation is that men do a lot of maturing between 25 and 30, so if he has moments of immaturity, I wouldn’t necessarily worry that they are indicative of an ongoing problem. The age difference matters less and less as you both grow older.

Smaller age gap here but I met my wife when I was 22 and she was 29. (Married 2 years later, and now 28 and nearing 35)

I had no specific plans to settle down, but it just happened to work. Totally agree with the maturation point - I’m fundamentally the same person now that I was 6 years ago, but very different maturity level

Five years isn’t the issue, it’s if at 25 the male mind has formed enough to where you’re not a baby sitter. This varies model to model.

Your mileage may vary but totally agree. Am a 28-year-old man and would say me and most of my male friends were consistently ~3 years behind vs the female ones, maturity wise

My wife is six years older. No big deal.

Current gf is five years older - we couldn’t care less. Have dated up and down before and it really doesn’t matter. Maybe some challenges for kids timing is the only thing, and even that is largely immaterial.

I’m a 30 year old female dating a 26 year old, it’s awesome and I never notice the age difference unless we’re talking about some childhood tv show or movie that was a thing when I was 6 and he was 2. Plus his sex drive is unreal compared to my own and I love that about him, among many other things

5 years isn’t a big deal once everyone 21+. My husband is 41 and I’m 46 and while he insists that we’re a cougar-cub relationship, I’m not buying it.

Age is such a useless factor. I was a licensed attroney running my own firm at 25. She was still in school at 25. So like the lifestyle differences were real.
