I'm doing some comparative research and hope you will help by giving opinions on the following questions. These questions are applicable to both genders. Hopefully, opinions will come from all age groups:

Does age/sex matter in a platonic relationship? Why.

Does age matter in a physical relationship? Why.

How old do you consider too old for a physical relationship? Why.

How would you feel after you got to know someone and felt a connection if you found out that person was 20 or 30 years older than you but didn't look it?

Would you follow your heart or peer pressure? Why.

What is your age?

Are you male/female?

Spiritual/religious orientation (optional)

Thanks in advance for you help.

Does age/sex matter in a platonic relationship? Why.
-- Yes. Someone's age can greatly affect my ability to relate to them, as well as their gender, which will then affect the platonic relationship.

Does age matter in a physical relationship? Why.
-- Yes. For me, it is a matter of comfort. I am not comfortable with men who are much older than myself, or even a year younger. To enjoy a physical relationship, I must be comfortable with the other person.

How old do you consider too old for a physical relationship? Why.
-- I'm 21. Anyone not in their twenties is too old for me. At this point, I stop at the age 25. I don't think I will have anything to offer a 26+ year old, and I am not very interested in what they have to offer me.

How would you feel after you got to know someone and felt a connection if you found out that person was 20 or 30 years older than you but didn't look it?
-- I highly doubt that this will happen because there are just some flags that go off that let me know someone is older. But, this could possibly turn me off. I would be curious to know why a 41 - 51 year old man was interested in me. It would be kind of repulsive actually. He could be my father, and I am not at an age where that is okay.

Would you follow your heart or peer pressure? Why.
-- Peer pressure was a big thing in my middle school days. My heart has more pull on my actions than anything. My heart constantly nags at me and it has a heavier weight than the words of others. My heart has never really led me wrong, so I'll listen to it constantly. It's when I start thinking too hard with my shifty brain that I get into trouble.

What is your age?
-- 21.

Are you male/female?
-- Female.

Spiritual/religious orientation (optional)
-- Christian (Church of Christ).

What is your astro sign?
-- Gemini.

Does age/sex matter in a platonic relationship? Why. Not really, as long as there is a relationship, then you are working towards something.

Does age matter in a physical relationship? Why. It Does to me as a mother, Must be older than my children and more mature.

How old do you consider too old for a physical relationship? Why. No age is too old for a physical relationship, if it works, do it and don't fix it, LOL

How would you feel after you got to know someone and felt a connection if you found out that person was 20 or 30 years older than you but didn't look it? i would be a bit shocked they were that much older than myself and i didn't know it, but no it would not matter at all.

Would you follow your heart or peer pressure? Why. My heart, me is what matters and the other i care for involved. Peers are not involved, not really. Besides if my peers are wanting me to be happy, they wont interfere or pressure, but want my happiness and be happy i am happy.

Does age/sex matter in a platonic relationship? Why.

No, it's platonic why should it matter?

Does age matter in a physical relationship? Why.

Other than being of legal age, no. Of all the things to base a relationship on, age seems mostly irrelevant and more a byproduct of antiquated social values.

How old do you consider too old for a physical relationship? Why.
No age limit, for the reason stated above.

How would you feel after you got to know someone and felt a connection if you found out that person was 20 or 30 years older than you but didn't look it?

Connection trumps age, the age factor is purely psychological and due to the values one was raised with and exposed to.

Would you follow your heart or peer pressure? Why.

My heart, my peers aren't going to be keeping me warm at night are they?
