"Age is a mind over matter type of thing... if you don't mind then it don't matter" Mark Twain
This quote appeared on a reality TV show called age vs. beauty (or something like that). It was about this guy thinking he was just going to find love (as in the bachelor) but actually he was being put with women in their 20s and women in their 40s and he was supposed to find the one. And at this show they prove that age doesn't matter everything just came down to love. Now he ended up picking a woman in her 20s and not the 40s but that wasn't because of their age but because that is who he felt strongest for and fell in love with...
So, my thing is why should it matter if someone is 17 and the other person is 21, now i know a lot of people say the younger person doesn't know anything that it's the older person who pressures them into things.. but I'm not even talking about just sex I'm talking about actually having a relationship. I know the law about "rape or consent" but their are some couples who don't have sex or that isn't why they are together and they are a couple years apart from each other.
If you love someone why can't you be with them? Regardless of the age... A couple years ago I never would have been ok with the relationship that I have now.. Don't get me wrong I love it so much and I love him. But I am 17 and he is 21 about to turn 22 in 2 days we got together when I was 16 and he was 20 and we've been together ever since. Nothing that we do is based on sex he could care less if I want to or not... just being together is what he wants most. But my parents hate us being together because of our age difference.. they say it wouldn't be so bad if I was 18 and then we went out but why? Why would that matter? I mean I understand because if someone found out we would get into a lot of trouble and he could quite possibly get sent to jail but thats if someone turns him in and if they could prove that we had sex.
I understand it's dangerous for us to be together I mean people at his work call him child molester because he's with me and I get weird looks when people hear me say that I'm 17 and he's 21.. but I guess my thing is why should it matter as long as you don't mind?
I don't know tell me what ya'll think please... Tell me if I'm just blinded by my feelings...
That's only 4 years. It's not that big of a difference. My husband and I are 4 years apart, and we never hear comments like that.

After 18, age difference becomes less important. I though my parents would freak when they found out I went out with a 24-year-old (I'm 20) but they didn't seem to think it was a big deal.
