disney princesas According to one of the disney Artists, Flynn is 26 and Rapunzel is 18. Is this too big of an age gap?

princesslullaby picked No, but it annoys me:
Read about Flynn's age here: link

I'm tired of the princes always being older than the princesses, and often being like more than 5 years older. I mean seriously, she'll be 22 when he's 30. That's a lot to me. 32 when he's 40! 37 when he's 45! Sorry, that's a big gap, 8 years. *sigh* The only disney human couple I can think of where the girl is definitely older than the guy is Megules. And for that reason, that couple will NEVER be last on my list. I appreciate that once in awhile the woman can be older. *sigh* Even if they were the same age or like a year apart...*sigh*
That's another reason now not to like the couple, I already thought they weren't a good match because of maturity levels, hers being the level of a 16 year old and his much older....*sigh* they always have the older guy get the younger girl, it's annoying. *siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­igh­*

Unless I'm the one girl who's dream is NOT to get an older guy. Do most girls find older guys (and by older it can be like 3 years) attractive? I don't.

But honestly I'm biased, I consider 3 years difference pushing it.

Wow...26? He seemed, like, 24 MAX to me. 23 was my bet. Maybe 22...but 26? Hmm.

Sorry, it just creeps me out. It is like my oldest brother and I getting married to each other. *sigh* That almost puts the nail in the coffin for me.

By the way, isn't Tiana older than Naveen?

I thought he was 23...24 at the most...it really doesn't bug me...in a sense Rapunzel is more mature than him...in a sense.

Dang, too much. And I thought me dating someone 5 years older than me was too big of an age gap. Because right now, he's also 26 and I'm 21. But 8 years is too much, in my opinion. Why in the world did they settle on 26? o.o

My limit is usually five, but my "damn he's awesome, sweet, and hot" stretched limit is ten. It doesn't bother me- love doesn't really have an age IMO (unless it's some 25 year old married to an 84 year old- who you kiddin' girl?).

I like older guys xD. They're more mature in my opinion. My limit is five years also (but that doesn't mean I fantasize about getting mattied to Ian Somheralder/Joseph Gordon-Levitt xD xD xD). I mean love is love... but it still SOMEWHAT bugs me.

Usually, something like this would bother me, but this doesn't. Flynn seemed to be very immature for being 26.

I don't think its too big, considering the time period, and plenty of people nowadays have as big an age gap.

I wish Flynn was 20 too. I don't like the thought of him being 26. I won't like them as a couple if he was. Sorry for my prejudice. I will try to pretend I did not see this pick and imagine Flynn as a 20 year old when I watch the movie.

disney_prince picked No., it's fine:
I've never let age gaps bother me. I'm really surprised people consider 5 years a big age gap. I really couldn't care less about age...of course, within reason.

I do however agree that it would be refreshing to see a princess older than the prince but that goes against archetypal Americanised couples...sooo it will probably never happen in Disney.

Kida is older than Milo. Now THAT is a big age gap.

i really don't like the big deference between ages, Flynn is too old this way, he even looks 20 or 21, so why the hell 26.

Age is just a number...my last boyfriend was quite a bit older than me, but he had the maturity of a 19 year old frat boy. A guy I'm sort of seeing now is a year younger than me (24) and is very mature.

Oh yeah Kida is really old but her body doesn't age as fast I guess...
Will that mean that she'll look 30 when Milo's like 70? xP

For some reason Flynn and Rapunzel's relationship bothers me more than Phillip and Aurora's xD

It's....okay. My brother is 27 and he's dating an 18 year old but I'm okay with it in his case and in Flynn's case because they both have about the same social maturity as the girls they date.

No my brother is 30 and he married a girl six years younger than him, which ended in divorce but that was his drugs and lying that did that. But my cousin is in her twenties and he's dating someone in his thirties or fourties in fact we're wondering WHEN THE HECK HIS GONNA GET HER A RING THEY'VE BEEN DATING FOR TWO YEARS. It's not like she's 18 and he's 80 or something, this is just fine.

Don't worry, it's not some big epic spoiler, that's just a side effect of the real action. No one really makes much of it.

I had to laugh when I read this question. My aunt and I had a very similiar conversation to this just this past Saturday, except it involved her and my uncle. She met my uncle when he was 25, almost 26 and she was 18. Back then, being a brand new freshman in college, that was a big gap for her to swallow. She decided it didn't matter and now they are happily married with one of the cutest cousins I've ever had the privilege of being related to.

Back to the question at hand, I think the only time a gap of that size is a problem (or makes for an uncomfortable situation), is when you're under the age of 18. I know that shortly after I hit college, that large a gap became a trivial thing to me. Even now, a few years later, if I were to date a guy that was 10 years older than me, I don't think it would be an issue. Nowadays, it depends on the guy's personality.

EDIT: After reading your first comment, PL, I have to tell you about this other couple I know on the other of the end of the spectrum. He's a year or two younger than I am and she's in her early-30s and they're one of the happiest couples I know.

I guess it goes to show that age is merely a number when it comes to love.

Honestly when I watched the movie I assumed he was 25 and was totally fine with it. I don't fund it weird at all, because it's not like he is an OLD man and she is a young teen girl, they are both young people and they have their whole lives ahead so I don't see it becoming a problem.

Me and my husband are 6 yrs apart and I met him when I was 18.....Now if he had met her when she was younger (like 14 or even 16) then that would have been a little creepy...My mother in-law is 6 yrs older then my husbands step-dad (she said if she had known how old he was she would not have asked him out..LOL....they look like they are the same age)...unfortauntly I look younger then I am and my husband looks a little older then he is so we get alot of stares and dirty looks.....

My mom was and my dad are 9 years apart. My Greatgrandparents on my mom's side and her mom's parents were 7 years apart and when my Great Aunt was 16 she married someone who was 20 and to this day they are happily married she is 74 and he will be 81 tomorrow. So I really think it depends on the two people. Age gaps don't bother me to some extent. Also my mom's sister/Aunt married someone who is 19 years older than her but she was also 35.

Renarimae picked No., it's fine:
My parents have an 8-year age gap (though they were both older when they got married). And I've always been attracted to older guys. When I was 15-16, one of my crushes was 29-30 (never acted on it, of course). Now as a 23-year-old woman, the men I find attractive are anywhere between 27 and 55. So I see no problem with them as a couple. Not to mention, Tangled takes place around the 18th century, when a couple with Rapunzel and Flynn's age gap would not have raised any eyebrows.
