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?

If they're both comfortable with the age gap, then it's fine. They are adults, after all.

@Rutterman Of course. They have the right to do whatever they want. I'm just commenting on how silly it all seems to me.

@IAmJess That's fine, but I've noticed people mostly have a problem with it when it's an older man and a younger woman. When it's the opposite arrangement, there seems to be little criticism of it. Not sure what accounts for this double standard. Please understand that I'm not suggesting you're guilty of this. It's just a general observation.

@Rutterman Hmm, can't say that I've noticed the double standard myself. I will say that, personally, I think the older woman/younger guy thing is even more absurd. We have one neighbor here who is divorced and she is dating a guy who is literally younger than her son. I don't get it. Idk, maybe someday I will. Right now I just can't see it.
