[quote=@MetalHead] Okay, let's not exxagerate. Sure those two examples that you've given are true and they happen sometimes but overall they're rarities. It happens sometimes for an adult to feel attraction for a teenager and viceversa but if this attraction ends up evolving into something more then that then it becomes the parents fault for not taking care of their child properly. Anyway, what I was saying is that people nowadays care too much about age difference. What really matters are the feelings. Me for example, i'm 29, but I would never feel attraction to a teenager. That is because I don't like teenagers. I don't know, it's something about them, the way they behave, the things they do, that just totally makes me wanna dislike this category of people. So irresponsible, careless and rebellious. Adolescence is a period in my life that I got out of a long time ago and I have no regrets. But anyway...i'm deviating from the subject. If I would ever, in the future, fall for someone that would turn out to be much older or much younger then myself, age would probably the last thing i'd care about. However I am a bachelor right now and I enjoy it to the fullest. I don't plan on making my life more difficult anytime soon. [/quote] Hahaha okay okay, it's not any of my business anyway. If it makes you feel better, age is less of an issue in other parts of the world. Not to brag, but I've recently been with someone several years younger than myself, and another woman several years older than myself. Both were raised in a non-Western culture, where the focus is on other attributes (success, vision, connections, ambition, flashy useless crap). A coworker of mine recently married someone quite a bit younger than himself (with enough of an age gap, that even I feel somewhat uncomfortable, but this again is none of my business). She, once again, was raised in a non-Western culture. 'Tis the way of things. As the West declines, and Asia rises, I think you'll see a lot of these old social norms fade away. The East really is a different world, and conventions you take for granted... just don't exist here. The way you dress, the way you eat, who you date, how you describe and express things... it's all different.
