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.
Half your age + 7. Math checks out
I’m 28 and gf is 33 🤷🏻♂️
I Stan men who date older women
Do you boo. I’d marry an older lady without a second thought.

Agree with all of the above: I see no issues. 5 years will be considered less and less of an age gap as you get older.
Don’t see any real issue with this
Unless he makes t-rex sounds in his sleep, there’s not a problem at all with the minor age difference
I (F) married a guy 4 years younger 💜 best decision ever
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
Pro
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.
If you’re both happy who cares
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.
