I heard on Loveline that it's best to date people your own age because they're going through the same struggle through life as you are.

And that an older girlfriend or boyfriend means you're trying to hide something from the past.

Are either of these statements true?

No, they aren't true. That would suggest that everyone at the same age is going through the same life struggles, which is simply NOT true. And people far apart in age can be very compatible.

Utter bullshit, men are usually less emotionally mature than women, not ALL, but some. So older men and younger women hook up often. Generally, age is the last concern when meeting new people to date, generally you will know pretty fast if there is chemistry and compatability. I have dated women 10 years younger than me, and 8 years older and enjoyed time with all of them.
