I Think Age Is Only A Number

[big][center]Omg no!!! [/center][/big]

Age matters. Did any of you watch the Bachelor tonight? Bekah finally told us how old she is. 22. Yup, 22 years old.

And Arie (remember him?) is 36. Yup, 14 years older than her.

So when she revealed her age, he realized how silly it was and sent her home, right? Nope!!! He talked about how he sees the possibility of a real future with her!

What do you think? Is age just a number? Or does it matter?

To each their own... I don't get why people get so outraged when "others" are in relationships with big age gaps... I get that some people freak out at the thought of *themselves* dating someone with a big age difference, but why do they care about [i]other's[/i] adult, consensual relationships... Some people like same sex, other people are grossed out by the thought of a same sex relationship... Yet, no one these days would DARE to say the feel grossed out by the idea of a "same sex" relationship... But it seems to be OK to voice displeasure and total outrage at big age-gap relationships... ? Why...? Why do people care, really...?

@drymer Pretty sure I didn't express any outrage here and I certainly didn't say anything about being grossed out (I'm not).

I simply said that in my opinion their "relationship" was silly and asked for other opinions.

And btw, yes, I have heard LGBTQ stuff referred to as gross before.
