Sorry just letting you guys know, maturity is interpreted in many ways, not only the ways you think maturity is. Maturity can be in communication, maturity in dealing with emotions, maturity in when to have fun. So in the end everyone is matured in certain parts of your life. You can be 70 years old and still be immature in other parts of your life. That’s my definition in maturity

[@itsbrandonho]

Woot woots! Thank you for listening guys! You guys are the bomb-diggity! I personally think too big of an age gap makes it tough for the partners to communicate and relate in general because of the different stages of life they may be in but of course, there are couples who've managed to work it out! And yes, it heavily depends on the maturity of each individual as well! Having said that, Phoebe is 3 days older than I am! HAHAHA!

[@katelynkarmarnchin8471]

itsbrandonho hi Brandon! My friend and I talked about maturity. I think it depends on how the individual define maturity. Like even in college and university, some of them are still kiddy in mind, it’s cute in terms of personality but when it comes to mentality, not that much. When I’m around with anyone who is younger than me, I try to be “mature” in some sort of way but with my seniors, I feel “secure”

[@evelynsando]

Age gap matters or not, it will depend on the individual. I have 7yrs age gap with my fiancé (he's same age as my sis 😂) but we can connect just good. Though sometimes we had argument, but somehow we managed to settle it 😂 Love listening the banter on this topic!! Thanks for sharing another meaningful discussion!!

[@bernard4964]

I'm addicted to this podcast. Barely 5 minutes and I'm alrdy here

[@kierangoh9469]

if love is about compromising, then it is who do you want to compromise the most with. This i think answers the question of age gap backlashes. Effective communication and comprehension would be a good model for every relationship.

[@satoedjoean]

Another interesting topic! :DD

[@huinistella]

Omg i used to watch brandon on 8tv quicky and i didnt pay attention to the introduction on this episode. Half way through i was like eh this guy is so thoughtful, only i realized that its brandon!

[@suitmin8220]

I strongly agreed with Brandon

[@melvintimadius5643]

I had a crush with a girl older than me, but I think what matters is not the age gap. What really matters is to know whether she likes me too :'D

[@hassanmala6507]

hahhahah I have never related to any youtube comments I've read before, until this XD hahaha

[@matthewsimcheeking4532]

I can see Brandon studied for this podcast.

[@sorayaalhady7368]

HAHAHA ikr

[@GregoryPJ]

he's annoying tho

[@jinwei7380]

I totally agree with the guy who wore the shirt "AMSTERDAM". The way you think is vital in maturity level. The way you react is vital. Maturity comes from many forms of experience, and yes, as you grow older you seek many opportunity which is a form of experience. For example, the very first time I went clubbing was at the age of 18, i went PLAY rooftop. I was having a lot of fun, making friends at there. It was very fun and i loved being close with my friends. But the crucial part in maturity level is whether you can think and make the rational decision on choosing between "do I still want to continue this life" or "since i have many friends, im always available to clubbing". Of course, clubbing is a bad thing to the public's eyes but before you follow the crowd, you should ask yourself whether the clubbing life is right for you? "am i doing something i truly want in life?". Furthermore, not just blindly follow the crowd and agree to what the public said. Maturity level is you able to be making decision for yourself. The popular saying goes if you think you can or you can't, you're right by Henry Ford.

[@christineagethen6713]

Just to say my husband was 17 years older than me and we were together for 25 fantastic years until he passed away . Personally, I find your discussion somewhat shallow .

[@matthewsimcheeking4532]

brandon came back yeahhh

[@VictorTKS]

Thank god Brandon gave his point of view in what maturity is.. Because Jin's definition of maturity hurts every cell in me HAHAHA

[@JinnyboyTVHangouts]

Woops! Lol that's why we have more than 1 host, differences in opinions

[@katelynkarmarnchin8471]

Yay! Brandon!

[@claireli88]

Yes age gap matters alot especially it is 5 years or more because the mentality differs vastly.

[@lauracotter]

Personally, age gap does matter cos it can make or break a relationship, and this is when maturity comes into play. I personally know 2 couples (my friends) who have a 5-year age gap with their partners; one couple consists of a girl dating a guy who’s 5yrs older while the other couple consists of a girl dating a guy who’s 5yrs younger. Both relationships are going well so far cos of the maturity both parties have and what they bring to the table despite their 5-year age gap. That being said, I think maturity is key to a balanced relationship in terms of being in the same wavelength as well as going thru things and experiencing new things together. Another great podcast btw! Much love for you and the team. ♥️

[@caesaro4817]

i have 1 story, my teacher is 51 years old, and she married to her ex student that age 27 years old. The student that she taught in my high school back then. i think age gap is not really a problem la, but what really matters is you happy be with your partner, and she or he know what the best and both of you really coherent with each other.

[@ervin2120]

anything can happen. just do what you do best, think about the consequences and be better for whatever is going to happen in the future.

[@tofu1888]

Well, in my opinion depends on where they are in live individually... studying or working...get what I mean?

[@SCTanWBAfc1878]

Bro. All of us need to grow up. If you enlarge your circle of friends, then you will know how wide the experiences from other people. The talk confined to only opinions of 3 people. I am of the opinion Brandon has a wider perspective of life & more accommodating. Why not invite people from outside to share their personal experiences. I think money can have a role in an age gap relationship. We live in a practical world with pragmatic solutions. And the founder of a Dating Firm linking wealthy and usually much older people ha said that justvas a good looking person flaunts his/het looks or a muscle man ditto, why can't an older person with means flaunt his wealth with a young person in search of love because in this Founder's opinion, dating is superficial. So long as 2 persons can gel together througj whatever means of attraction, love can develop. Unless you are a cynic or one with traditional thinking etc. Sometimes society should just take a back seat and let people live!

[@darshn2143]

Guys, what is the music played in the intro. Its rlly good and I want to know its name so I can add it to my playlist

[@simontiew6076]

Hi. I like your videos and watch it all the time. What I write below is what I think should do because it's a potential area for everyone to understand what happens in Malaysia. I have been working with kids ranging 6-15 and also have a Master's degree. I just want to tell mention that age is not a good predictor of maturity. And 3 person opinion and experience is not professional and valid and reliable. I would like to suggest you guys to do a poll just to get an understanding of your listeners and viewers age and experience. Then you can say that what you guys assume is 'maybe' valid. You can use the statistics to support your topics, not based on your assumptions. Not only in the comments...and it's better, publish it and earn that professionalism.

[@PassionPno]

Lmao. This is not a dissertation. This is just a general discussion based on their own opinions.

[@qixuantee4776]

There is a fine line between maturity and ageing

[@userdoesnotexist5160]

Exactly @itsBrandonho, I agree with you on maturing cuz its base on our experience not on age.... I would range 1-2 years Also yes there are facts but regardless of Wat ur age is use wisdom

[@angiequah7872]

older doesn't mean more mature ive once dated a guy who is 6 years older, but nah he's nothing but childish lolol , and i was 27, he was 33 that time i was thinking to settle down after 1-2 years of dating, and he gamble all his savings away =_= which is really irresponsible age gap is not the most important thing, its more like if you both are having the same life value onot

[@RebekahAPinto]

I've been out with a guy who is 13 years my senior but he was hardcore childish who likes to waste money and is a real mummy's boy, btw. I was 22 back then. In the end a few years back, I literally dumped him for many other reasons besides the two I just mentioned.

[@viajaycay]

now i know jin is damn old school... i am 37 and not married but hv been thought to be 28 as recently as 2 mths ago because of how i carry myself and also my approach to life e.g. i take latin dance lessons while at the same time attend kpop dance classes, i also love attending concerts and comedy shows, stuff jin probably associate with a late 20s person. ive done all of it b4, but i still do it.. so does it matter that i am dating a 26yr old that has the same outlook in life with the same interests as me? i dont plan to marry for another 2-3yrs and that suits her well too.. i hang out with her frens just as well as i hang out with her boss which is of my age... i also hv friends my age who are in a similar stage of life (older but not married) and get along well with her...and no one is suffering unlike what is described here

[@joyacikara8665]

Wowowo🔥💯

[@SCTanWBAfc1878]

It is a good topic. My opinion, Jin, you may have lost the plot someway into the topic. It is Brandon who held the discussion well & kept it within the topic. Shu Fay added some pretty good comments. At the end of the day, the choice is between 2 persons. If both can work it out, what's the issue for you? In an Asian society, we have too many encumbrances. I believe that if we can break out of this mould, the sooner the better. Watch Wongfu Productions episodes and you can see the difference in how we and they think.

[@shakirdixon6611]

Half your age + 7 is the rule that ive been hearing a lot. But personally anyone who is under 18 should not be dating anyone 5+ years older

[@MrEclip5e]

To summarise, it's better to find your significant other when both of you are in the SAME state of life. :)

[@viostvcm]

Age gap is not a problem, depend on what age u r now. If u are 15 and ur partner is 27 then would be a it hard. But let said 28 and 40 I think it would b ok. Coz 28 female mind set is more mature then male, tat y female prefer older male. Any nice show, keep it up

[@Hello-bx4hp]

Harvinth skin.....on the podcast pls.

[@irvinchia]

(older person's age / 2) +7 = can

[@chloeyxy2607]

Maturity can be affect by age but experiences also Actually I'm more to those age bigger than me because now I haven't saw any boys younger than me or same age with me was mature. Yet I'm still believe that there will be someone mature and which is younger than me hahahah! By the way because of my age now I think that majority of girls will be like me

[@adlan_kacak]

to me personally i doesn`t really care if dating with a girl who are slightly younger than me because at least maybe somtimes i can share some knowledge or skills with her ^_^

[@shirleytan8042]

i see that the chat invites the views of the 3 speakers, however it would be more beneficial to hear from someone qualified on the topic, or with some data.

[@pageperpage]

Psychological age is different from birth age

[@7Pulpy]

Are you guys going to leave the donuts untouched? I'll have them 😋

[@muhdariff7986]

Age gap does matter i say between 1 or 2 older or younger than me

[@darriusooi1491]

Found the perfect video M age gap is VERY STRICT I must be older I must be in between 1-2 years older Idk why I’m like this

[@nozomioishi1995]

Have to disagree with Jin and agree with Brandon. Age does NOT equal maturity. Experience does. It's just that the older you are, the more likely you are to have more/ various experiences that make you mature. Take for example a 35-year-old who has always stayed with his/ her parents in the same country and has never had to look after themselves. On the other hand, we have a 24-year-old who has lived in various different countries by themselves and was forced to be independent. Who is more mature?

[@sean-gg6cf]

bryan? you mean brandon?

[@nozomioishi1995]

cold lemonade Oops, thanks for pointing out the typo 😅

[@adlan_kacak]

age gap is quite a matter actually, at least that is what my personal opinion ...

[@foofs2721]

take your age divide 2 add 7 , that a fomula for it . 30 divide 2 = 15 , 15 + 7 =22 therefore 22 is the youngest

[@Jialatt]

4:57

[@gwendalyn256]

Jin has such a good DJ voice.

[@PassionPno]

He was a DJ.

[@zellofficial]

Just like Brandon, I'm always happen to attracted to older lady. Not too much older tho, lmao! The most was 4 years older.

[@TheCricketer15]

Divided by 2 , plus 7.

[@tarannoah1314]

Go check out christy chung’s love life #mindblown

[@theofarrelllamos8530]

Who else just looks at the donuts the whole video

[@timlim2053]

HELLOO

[@jo-annang407]

I can see a generation gap here hahha, Jin is more traditional, close minded in this issue and what Jin is trying to say is “Age is definitely not a number” in relationships. Brandon and shu Fay’s mindset are more accepting to big age gaps and there’s possibilities that it could work. Two different generation

[@Fakeslimshady]

he just playing devils advocate

[@hafrizful]

Jin: We will go through your DMs Me: Yeay! Let's gooooo *Throughout the video focused on one topic Me: ( -_-")

[@hafrizful]

Don't take it seriously yaa😂😂

[@ericljy99]

Why many KZbind wanna do podcast ? Got people listen meh ?

[@joshualeong2206]

My sis is married to her husband while she’s 27 and he’s 42. 15yrs gap

[@JinnyboyTVHangouts]

That awesome! Congrats to the happy couple!

[@shirleytan8042]

this converstion keeps repeating the points.......

[@cheahkaichao3612]

First !

[@cheahkaichao3612]

sad

[@jackylew02]

Somehow sf doesnt really contribute alot on the conversations.. She dont end her sentences properly.. And mostly its ya ya ya.. Hmm

[@MrTommyLoh]

i dont really agree with " dont date with somebody is rich" take his/her richness aside, if he/she is really dependent on money itself, that relationship surely already not a healthy 1; if she/he is rich and really help his/her partner grow, i dont think money is really a factor.

[@tcruise77]

You don't *use money* to help your partner grow la. wahlaowei....

[@MrTommyLoh]

@@tcruise77 yea, thats wad i said in " if she/he is rich and really help his/her partner grow, i dont think money is really a factor."

[@GregoryPJ]

get that mans brandon outta here

[@ryeofoatmeal]

paintball is childish lol??? he doesnt know how to have fun xD

[@RebekahAPinto]

Surfing is childish. 🏄
