one of my friends was asked this because his friends with some 10yrs younger then them, nothing hapens between or anything they r just friends so, y do some people have a problem with that

I don't think that is a problem, never we judge person by age, with younger we could get power and with older we could get mind it's just an exemple for this situation

yea i agree

there's definitely nothing wrong in it. It just does not happen often because usually interests of different generations are also different.

because it's unusual. Perhaps they don't believe that they are friends.
anyway, who cares if THEY have a problem with that? it's their problem.

I have friends who are still in University, and I don't have problems with it, as always they come to me more for a motherly advise.
and my kids adores them.

I have younger as well as older friends and I can get on with both so I see no problem in that. Not age but personality is what matters in communication.

I have a lot of friends younger than me - I'm the "mother hen" and confidante to them. Plus, I'm a lot younger than my age says and my hubby is 8 yrs. younger than me, so I have all his friends as well. Age is just a number.

I have friends who are my age yes, but I get along with older people more. One of my dearest friends is Vika, catnip, I always run to her for heart-to-heart, or better yet, punch-to-punch talk about personal issues LOL!

Age is worthless if it is not used wisely.

I think it is unusual. For instance, I am 21. I wouldn't want to particularly make friends with someone 30 years old. If it were a work relationship or something, I wouldnt be too weird...since theres a reason. But not only am I 21, but people often believe I am much younger, so if someone much older than me were trying to befriend me, I would of course be curious at the reason. Age difference means growth. I don't have that much in common with someone ten years older than myself. Where as they may think what I am talking about or concerned about is annoying or unimportant. I may also be totally uninterested in what they are saying because I've had no experience close to that.

And while I agree some people can be friends with just about anyone...i think it is even different when women are friends in different age groups. Or men. But when it is a man and woman relationship I would be even more concerned that their is no real friendship.

I've always had friends that are younger, around my age and older than me. Men and women.
I really don't see nothing unusual in that. Made my life much more interesting and colorful, I've learned a lot from them.
