    so i can understand that the younger person look for a older person.
    cause of the maturity.

    but im very sceptical about those relationship cause there are more wrong then okay in it.
    like old bastards love to have younger girls for the sex or to play them.
    thats wrong.

    i think everyone should date around their own age.that sounds more healthy and equal.

    and often people that date so far from their age younger or older have issues with not being grown up enough or
    they did not have a father figure so they date very older guys to feel that security. etc.

    Statistically the happiest marriages are those where the wife is several years younger than her husband. This is because men are more drawn to attractiveness and youth. If the wife is always looking a bit hotter and younger than the husband, the husband is less likely to stray. Aston Kutcher and Demi Moore anyone?

    6 years is a bit, not not too much. I've dealt with bigger age-gaps than that.

    Anyhow realistically. You are 26 female, he is 20. You are going to start feeling embarrassed introducing your young bf to friends and family due to his age when ppl ask. Does he look young too? I know a girl who is dating a 22 yr old and she is 26. This isn't such a big gap, but mentally it is. she has a professional career, he works odd jobs and plays video games all day. She makes triple the paycheque he does because she works long hours and expects to come home to a clean apartment. She comes home to pizza boxes and beer cans and 5 other 22 yr old stoners.

    I think that 6 years isn't that big age difference, but you or your partner might feel a bit embarrassed after meeting their or your friends and family.
    Also, your partner's friends/family might judge about the age gap....

    As your relationship goes further, you might want to start up a family, get married etc soon, but he might not be ready and still wants to have some fun, enjoy life etc.

    My bf is two years younger than me...(Yes it isn't that big age gap) but, I feel old/embarrassed when knowing that all his friend's gf is a lot younger than me....
    Some of his friends knows how old I am, and all his friends think that I am younger than me.... Whenever we go to Casino or clubbing where we need to show ID....I have to show them my ID, but my bf doesn't. (So in a way, it is good thing since I feel young when that happens lol)

    Your biggest problem will be if your relationship continues a few years. Your bodyclock will start screaming 'time to have babies before all my eggs dry up' when he's not nearly ready to start thinking in that direction.

    Actually I think the gap is more of an issue now then it would be if you were...... lets say.... 35 and he was 29.

    When age is ignored everything feels right, maturity levels are the same. Yet thinking about such an age gap is uncomfortable... maybe because it isn't the norm? Can it work, is it a big deal?

    Guys, how would you see a woman 6 years older than you while you're in your early 20s?
    Goddamn, son; I'd be happy as ****ing shit. Is she hot? Man, if I had a hot bird 6 years older than I, I'd ****ing feel like Alexander the Great. Whoops, OP is a girl? Shit, the dude is one ****ing lucky ****.

    Personally I don't mind the age, and actually I've seen a lot of couples lately where the woman is older. It seems to be getting more popular, just from what I've seen that is.

    And this is exactly why you'll never get laid.

    It really depends on you level of expectations. If you are willing to not push for marriage and babies, and just want to enjoy a relationship with no pressures, it will work. I'm living proof it can work. I have been with my guy for 23 years. Like the Saint mentioned about hitting 40, if you don't age well, like I have, then you will be hooped.

    They both went astray because they were bored with their relationship.
