Does age matter ?

Good day readers, hope you are doing fine today, I am doing okay too, still on the search for a girlfriend, haha, today I will be talking about age and relationship, but before I start, I would like to ask the men in the house first, can you marry a woman that is older than with about 10years or more and to the women, can you marry a man that is 10 years younger than you, I would like to hear your answer in the comment section. 

In Africa, we don't normally tell people our age because they will start to look at us differently after knowing our age, so we add it to our private list, haha, I don't know about other countries though, but here in Africa, our age is one of our biggest valuables, we keep it secret so people won't know about it unless we decide to open it to them, men don't usually have an issue in saying their age, but the women see it as a big deal and they hate it when you ask about their age on the first, they usually reply with "don't you know it's rude to ask a Lady her age" I still don't get it, why keep it secret when you are still going to grow old anyway and I bet you won't be able to hide your grey hair, haha. 

I remember when ma'am @Theblackdoll made mention of her age when she posted an article about her birthday, I was surprised to see it, because it's not common for women to mention their age, unless if it is needed on their birthday jotter. 

A few months back, there was a group of music arts that came to the studio for an album project, most of them are married with kids, except for the youngest among them, who's a lady in her 20s, she has a very wonderful voice and I admire her, after coming to the studio, two to three times, I decided to gather mind and talk to her, when I got the opportunity I was looking for, I approach her and I asked for her contact, my phone was inside the studio and we were outside, so she collected my number instead and say she will message me, I was happy that the mission has began,haha, days past and I didn't receive any message from her, their studio session has expired, I was wondering I am going to see her, then one day, while I was going to church, I saw her at the other side of the road, I ran to her ask why she didn't message me, she said her phone has issues and she has been busy, I now collected her number and message her myself, we were chatting and she was calling me Sir, which was very uncomfortable for me, she first told me that I shouldn't talk to her about anything relationship and all, I said okay, since that wasn't my intention from the start, don't get me wrong, she's beautiful though, but her voice made me to approach her, because i believe I might need her help in the future. 

Normally the way I chat, I usually call ladies dear, while the ones that are way older than me, I call them ma'am, when we were chatting, I was be calling her dear, I wanted to ask her age because from the face you can tell she's not that young, one day she cautioned me for calling her dear that she doesn't like it, I said okay, then she ask me my age, I told her, her reply was a total turn off for me, she said she's x3 of my age and I was shocked, I did some calculation with my age and multiply it with three, which was 66years, so you are 66 years old, I told her, she said she has my age mate at home, now I was angry, what made you say that, because you are 25 and I am 22, does that mean you should be saying words that anger me, she just told me to stop calling her dear, the feelings I was growing for her weeded away. 

I don't know why some people still think that soulmate comes with age, that you can't be with some they are older than, they see it as a sin, that mentality should change, take a look at the president of France, he is the youngest in his family, his wife is older than him and his stepsons are also older than him, Shakira is 10years older than pique and they are happily married with kids, so many couples, sometimes we just have to look beyond age and see how much happiness and encourage the person to bring to our lives

I saw a Nigerian couple online and people have been talking about them, the man isn't ashamed to show the wife and the wife too.

Though the husband looks like the son to the wife, they look beyond that, they know what bonds them is love and not age, age is just a number and everyone will grow someday, except if you are a vampire, you won't age a day, haha. 

Conclusion

Things I have observed, the major thing that usually level age in Africa is money, not all Africa women though, but some of them are ready to settle with someone younger than them because of money and not love, money can't hold it forever, because forever last forever if only your forever sees you as his or her, if they don't see you as their forever, then be ready to let loose at any moment.
