[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t see an issue. When she is 27 he’ll be 33 what’s wrong with that?[/quote]

[b]There's nothing wrong with him being 33 when she is 27. At that point, most people have been in the workforce a few years and have a sense of what the adult world is like.

When their ages are 27 and 21, it's different. She's still an undergrad in college while he, presumably, has had a job for a couple of years and then decided to get an MBA. People learn and grow and change so much between the ages of 18-24. After that, a certain level of maturity sets in and adults are at the same level, relatively speaking. My 26-year-old ds dates women around his age and maturity level. I can't picture him dating women the age of his sister, who coincidentally is also a junior in college.

None of this is written in stone, and of course there are going to be 27-year-olds seeing 21-year-olds where they are a good match emotionally and everything is fine. You know your dd, so you will have a better sense of whether or not she and the MBA student would be good together.[/b][/quote]

Exactly.  And I also have a DD who's a college junior and two older sons, ages 26 and 29.  Even though DD is and always has been very mature, she's at a completely different life stage than her brothers.  She's getting ready to go out and have adventures and figure out the adulting thing for herself.  They're making serious decisions about careers and buying homes (one is a med student and the other is a lawyer).  They're both dating women who are closer to their ages and are similarly looking for more serious and lasting relationships.  [/quote]
