What if my parents are the same sex? Or what if I don't want to belittle my parents by assigning gender roles to them so I refer to both of them as just "parents"? How do I answer your poll then, hotshot? :mad:

:p My mom is 5 months older than my dad. My wife is 4 months older than me.

My dad is 7 years older than my mom. My sister is 7 years younger than her husband. It isn't so weird with my parents since they are both older now, but it is kindof strange when your sister is getting married at 19 to a 26 year old guy.

this is a societal flaw. women outlive men. the wimmins should be older in the relationship. it's that way sexually too. women are in their prime older than when men are.

what is wrong with this picture?

girls reach their reproductive peak at 4. My physiology class really shook my perspective on the world. The belief that women don't reach their sexual peak till their 30's is actually pop-science craaaap
are you on drugs? girls reach their reproductive peak at 4? :confused:

I'm not gonna argue that it seems socially more acceptable for an older guy to be with a younger woman than vice versa, but keep in mind that women have a shorter reproductive window than men. There's a shelf life on the female's eggs as it were. Old guy sperm can still get the job done.
true, but.... he's not much good if he's dead

Well I'm 49 and my fiance is 23. We have a 6 month old daughter. When she gets old enough (my daughter) please ask this question again. ;)

Nothing wrong. You are confusing sexual prime with the prime age for bearing kids. By the time women hit their sexual prime, the chances of them conceiving and giving birth to a child without complications diminish drastically. While men keep on producing sperm and are capable of impregnating until they just can't get it up any more.

Hence older men look for younger women. Natural selection.

I got you all beat. Same day, same year. Something even more freaky, my grandfather on my father's side, and one of my sisters...same day. 4 family members on July 7th
