The new NBC show "Age of Love" starts tonight, which begs the question: When it comes to dating, does age make a difference?
Are you swayed in your decision to go out with someone based on their age?
I ask this question because the new NBC show Age of Love starts tonight. This is the show that will pit 40-year old ladies against women half their age in order to get the attention of a bachelor in his 30s.
Personally, I’ve been out with guys old enough to be my dad, and young enough to be… well if not my son then certainly my younger brother. Then again, I dated longer than most people I know. The relationship I had with the older ones seemed to last a lot longer than the younger ones, but then I’ve always considered myself an old soul. Still, when I got married, it was to someone a few years younger than myself – not a huge difference, but more of an interesting distinction.
As time goes on, I see the “older woman/younger man” thing becoming more and more popular. I can see why this situation works. After all, younger men are much more comfortable with their lives, and they appreciate the confidence an older woman has. They’re not out to compete with her or make her feel bad about her success. If anything, they find her more interesting, and thereby, infinitely sexier, than a younger woman who has yet to discover what she’s all about.
So I think Age of Love should be pretty interesting. Stay tuned for more discussions on this one!
