Random hypothetical.
Jan. 22nd, 2009 04:21 amI was looking at pictures of cute men on the net and there was one boy of 18 who said he liked older women and it lead to a thought... Is it hideously obscene for an older woman to date a younger man? I mean, what's the age difference between Hugh Jackman and his wife? Is it really acceptable for it to be the other way around?
My gut feeling is that the younger party should be free to develop on their own, cause dating an older person puts pressures on them that they wouldn't ordinarily have to face until they were that age themselves. I don't think it's wrong, per se, it's just not ideal for the younger party. My sister Helen thinks it's WRONG WRONG WRONG to date younger men, only because she thinks men are so immature or something. Or slower at mentally developing than women or something. I'm probably grossly misrepresenting her views on the matter.
Some part of my mind can't help but fantasize about a handsome younger man just aching to pleasure an older woman. To look favourably upon her experience and her wisdom. I guess that's one of those fantasies for smut novels and porn movies.
