In a Relationship

Although my attitudes are very conventional, I think that age is not such a big issue when people come into a relationship. Do men have to be older than the girl? Why is it okay when a man dates an older woman but socially unacceptable when a woman dates younger man? Isn't it the same thing?

Living in society often places its demands on us, trying to make us conform to accepted norms of behavior. At least, age is not just a number. In most people's point of view, men are generally less mature than women, so women prefer to date men who are a few years older than themselves. Some also believe that it boosts men's ego when they date older women as they see that they are able to attract someone older and more mature. Women on the other hand are also content to find themselves being able to attract younger men.

The two individuals involved should have chemistry and should click on a fundamental level. There are always advantages and disadvantages in all types of relationships. When two individuals decide to make it work and are committed to the relationship, nothing should be able to get in the way.
