Age Gap Couples

By Sienna Nalin


Age gap relationships have become typical in this day and age. With it becoming typical it also is becoming accepted more than before. There are still those out there that do judge couples with age differences, but who are they to judge if you find yourself happy in love.

Age and dating can sometimes be a problem for some. Based off of a study, most women want a guy that is older and men don't want to be with an older woman. Those one and two percent out there that are fine with dating an older woman and younger guy would not find the ideal age gap of roughly 5 years with the male being older, ideal.

The majority of respondents said an age gap was preferable, however; forty percent said three to four years was the ideal age gap, while thirty percent said five to six years. The survey, found that many women would be happier with a larger age gap, with one in three saying they would date a man seven years older.

Despite this, more than a third said they assumed when they saw a women with a much older men that he was "very rich", while one five assumed "it wouldn't last". A quarter said that they viewed women with older men as "gold-diggers".

With dating someone that is older, there are benefits of it. Such benefits are learning things from that older, more experienced person. It is also said that the younger person's youth will rub off on their older partner.

With us living in a world where things are always changing, people are starting to really become more accepting of a lot of things. Such things are age gap relationships. With these types of relationships they do come with some problems because of the age and one has to be prepared for them.
