Most people wonder why some people are too old or not old enough to do this or that. They make you wonder why some people are not worthy of doing something or are not suppose to be in that situation. A lot of issues these days always boil down to how old we are. Age, in one way or the other, has gradually become an important determinant of human behavior one way or the other.

At some point in our life our how old we are or the date of birth we carry around with us will make one kind of meaning to what we do as actions to certain situations.

I was opportune to watch a home video recently and in the movie a boy slept with two of his friends’ mum just for the purpose of proving a point of how mature he thought he was.

At this junction, I have a question. What should our extremes at a certain age? Another question is based on what we are supposed to steer clear of at a certain age. There are some things that we do just for the sake of doing it not minding the morality behind it just because we think we are up to it.  There are often situations where we do things to make others angry and one of them at times is this issue of young boys dating older women.

I would like to believe that it is not that these boys truly wants a relationship with the older woman, they just want to be pampered and often times it is out of adventure and teenage delinquency. These women needs attention too so if the boys are willing to give it to them, so be it.

In sex and relationship issues, age has a lot to do even though we like or we don’t. There are times you hear people say that they are too old to date somebody or too young to even be in friendship with someone. I am a twenty nine old woman dating a twenty old guy. Would say that this is a sin or is socially not accepted?

Age as they always say is nothing but numbers. It is made of lifeless numbers that has nothing to do with how a person decides to love their life. .

True intentions can’t be determined by the date of birth of your partner. It is from the depth of their hearts and nobody should mess with that. We all should be able to decide who we want to stay with. People should stop making an issue out of a non issue and turn the other eye if it disturbs them so much.
