Does the differences in
culture,tradition,lifestyle and distance hinder relationship? According
to me,it doesn't matter so long as you love each other. What are your
views?? Or what do you think about this?? People learn from one another
or??

I think when you are still in the "getting to know each other" stage these difference in culture, tradition, lifestyle etc. can be a deal breaker. But once you decided to make a go of your relationship it is presumed that each partner have accepted it especially in the case of unconditional love

Someone not that much into fame money or this or that could adapt more surely than someone not willing to give up his own standards - but what has love to do with that all?
I could live a simple life and live in an igloo or a tipi or a cabin or a tree house in hawaii or in the woods if there is warmth love and understanding....

Sure your last sentence is surely the first step to build something on a solid ground - but than still out of two - one has to move - i could surely move to another country too - if love is there - here or there - doesn't really matter - well that is just my opinion

You can love someone very much but be unable to tolerate living with them for whatever reasons. Maybe I am too old and set in my ways, but I have friends all over the world and cultural conditioning runs deep. Suppressing who you are in order to make someone else happy is a recipe for disaster, no matter the cultural combination. I'm not saying it can't be done. I have known many examples of couples who have done it very successfully, but there has to be a very high level of acceptance and understanding and tolerance.

It depends on them and if they want to introduce me to there culture, I'm open to anything so, the love will always be there...

This is more tricky than age difference as there are language problems & cultural problems to contend with. Certainly a better understanding is required as opposed to age, as age is defined as a one off thing that is known about.

Maybe culture, lifestyle and tradition doesn't matter, but distance can be a serious problem.

The difference of cultures. It is important communication and tolerance if there are principles in a relationship, the adaptation process is complicated but the beginning is not difficult. They are important respect, education, order, cleanliness.

I do not believe that culture has to be a hard thing to incorporate into each other if there is love.

It doesn't matter if there is attraction and love. Your world expands, you travel more, you learn a lot, and become more open and accepting.

Cultural differences should not be all that important in my opinion. I moved to a small city/village in Ecuador that is heavily indigenous and they have many customs that are really different from what I was used to in the US and at first many really bothered me. However, after several years here I have accepted most of them. If you are willing to meet people from other parts of the world you should be somewhat flexible in your requirements and expectations.
