Problem #15: Why is a huge age gap in dating a taboo ???

Published: July 20, 2020, 9 a.m.

Have you ever felt you needed to date older because younger relationships were too immature?? Have you been given weird stares for not dating your age and treated differently? and why is it MORE okay when an older man is dating a younger partner than the other way around? According to statistics, the average age difference between partners has been between two and six years for quite some time. But the latest trends indicate that men and women are now choosing to embark on relationships with partners that are 15 to 25 years older or younger. Marriage records show that women are marrying men who are older than they are by about 3 years and its time to discuss what's "normal" and what isn't and why people tend to swing one way than the other.
