I don't understand the obsession over large age gaps on GAG. If you look at marriage data, average age gap is 2.2 years. There is absolutely no evidence that large age gaps are common at all. so what is all the hype? people acting like it is much more common than it actually is?
is it just a bunch of old men trying to make themselves feel better about getting old and undesirable? .
because statistically there is literally no proof young women are marrying men much older than them
Yup. Only the rich and famous have that ability. And those couplings, like MIke Douglas and Zeta-Jones are rare. But Chris Evans did marry someone nearly 20 years his junior. Again, Hollywood.
And maybe it's a male fantasy: to be so well off you can cull anyone, any age!
I don't think it takes much talent to land a very young woman. Since they lack experience you can dazzle them with bullshit. But those marriages don't appear to last long. However, guys who marry serially don't mind this at all. New model is coming up the road.
Women, on the other hand, message and respond most often to men about their own age. Once they reach 35, women actually respond more often to younger guys. But because men are usually the conversation starters, the older-man-younger-woman paradigm prevails.

Dataclysm, a book by Christian Rudder based on data from the dating site OkCupid, found that young women tend to find men their own age or slightly older most desirable, e. g. 20-year-old women found 23-year-old men most attractive and 30-year-old women found 30-year-old men most attractive.[49] In contrast, men displayed a consistent preference for women in their early 20s, e. g. 50-year-old men found 22-year-old women most attractive.[49]

On average, husbands and wives were 2.2 years apart in age in 2022, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of U. S. Census Bureau data.

It's mostly just the one troll on a bunch of different accounts going on about age gaps. He/she/they have pink and blue profiles of multiple ages.

Oh for sure and most the women who want older men are wanting older men for financial reasons. Am I saying age gap relationships can’t be genuine? Absolutely I am NOT saying that. But the ones obsessing over older men aren’t the type of women you want anyways I can promise you that. Be glad they aren’t wasting your time.
Plus the perverted old men as well. Most old men are kind and funny. Great people to be around and hear tell stories. But the old sex offender perverts… They can spoil the bunch as well. Again just let them be.
I am glad you mentioned sex offenders. The 45 yr old man waiting for girls at the local high school to turn 18 so he can finally have sex with them.
he calls it "dating"
Well asker even worse then that most these people don’t care if someone’s 18 or not. If they get the opportunity to have sex willingly or by force. They will take it
Much more some of these old men do look like a sweet grandpa. Sex offenders can look like anyone.
While stereotypes become stereotypes for a reason. Many times unfortunately you can’t tell by looking at someone.
I'm not surprised there is such a stigma about large age gaps.
Usually there would have to be something wrong with a 38 yr old if they find themselves compatible with a 19-20 yr old.
And usually the biggest reason why a man would pursue a large a 19 yr old is because of looks and sex. I can't imagine what else he would be after. They call it "Dating" but I just call it sexual predatorial behavior.
Asker I’m not either. Again…. There are cases where the love can be genuine in those cases good for them. As long as they’re both genuinely happy.
But I do tend to agree it can still be creepy but legal is the cutoff age is say 18 or in some areas younger. For my start age of consent is 17.
I think there is a lot of predatory behavior and a lot of times it tends to be people who have sexual trauma who gravitate towards it until they mature enough to realize that’s not what love really is and it’s perverse.
But a lot of these men do throw out things like financial incentives among other things to get girls to date them.
But it does seem to be girls that have trauma that tend to go for these types of men at that young of a age.
Most 18 -20 yr old girls aren't interested in 38-40 yr old men.
Usually the 38 yr olds would want the 18 yr old girls but the 18 yr old girls won't want the 38 yr old men. Because she knows she has nothing in common with someone that age. 18 yr old girls usually date guys that are 18-23.
Upon the rare occasion that an 18 yr old gets involved with a 38 yr old, its usually about sex. Very rare that relationship can actually happen. And its pretty obvious why
Most I would say if someone’s in their 20s and finds someone whose older if they genuinely fall for one another that’s one thing. But waiting for someone to get out of high school is another. Every situation is different and my cup of tea or not. If it’s healthy as well as both persons are happy
But you’re saying MOST young women and you’re right. But the women who have traumas may be more inclined to go for someone whose like that. Since it feels familiar.
and being honest with you, I don't know of any father who would be ok with seeing his 18-20 yr old daughter dating a 35-40 yr old man. It will automatically set off red flags for him. Men know how other men's minds work
Most 40 year old men really aren’t into young women either. But there are men who are perverts who are in it for lust.
That’s how a lot of these relationships are. Sometimes the woman wants money
That he can give her. He wants sex. Never tends to end well when it’s about that. So it’s not always trauma related either but it can be
Well there are some weird fathers out there believe me on that. But most you’re right. Unfortunately once their girl is a adult they isn’t that much a parent can do but pray and try to talk some sense
But that’s another thing. Not all men are the same just like not all women are the same. Many women do this too wanting to protect men sometimes from other women they see as nefarious. Mothers. Friends. Sisters. Etc.
But it’s hard because you can never read someone’s mind. Someone who has a perverted mind thinks differently then
you're exactly correct that usually its trauma that's the reason. There was a high likelihood that this girl was abused at some point by men, or was mistreated by her father, lack of nurture in childhood.
Sickest thing is... society doesn't see this as sexually predatorial behavior. They just call it "Dating". Its like men just get away with everything nowadays.
It takes a certain level of immaturity to actually be compatible with an 18-20 yr old.
I mean go a extent that’s true. I would say once someone reaches 20s never say never there could be a relationship that works. Rare? Probably yes. But could be.
But I agree those countdowns until 18 are sick and disgusting besides that most would have sex the minute they got the chance
I think age matters less after the age of 25. Anything less than that, its questionable.
Questionable for sure
I actually knew of a 35 yr old man with 5 kids who wanted to marry an 18 yr old girl. The girl's father was so suspicious that he demanded the 35 yr old to pay 150k in order to marry her. He just wanted to know if this guy was genuine about his love.
Lol nothing genuine about marrying for financial reasons. On either side…
@summeroflove
no pervert would pay 150k for a bride. Unless if it were true love.
truth is... a pervert can easily find another young girl just for the sex.
fathers know best.
Ehhh…. Many people marry for financial reasons and if never ends well. Now I agree most those old men are desperate but not desperate enough for that.
But a lot of these marriages do involve money.
Besides most people who want true love don’t want to pay a price for it either. Not everyone’s able to build that connection…
when you are in love, you can't live without the other person. you're addicted. you would lose anything to be with that person forever.
thats why the girl's father demanded that he pay 150k for his daughter.
the girl's father was suspicious that this old 35 yr old was just after his daughter for the wrong reasons
22 years later, they both are still happily married.
So at the end of the day I’d you had 100k and you truly loved a man who didn’t have as much. You would put it all on the line?
Also. If someone doesn’t have that much money. Can you love someone? What if they loose that money.
Marrying for money is a HORRIBLE idea. It hardly ever ends well and believe me I’ve seen it before. Girl marries a man who has money. She cheats. She sleeps around. She spends all his money. It’s gone.
A woman becomes a stay st home mom. Her man leaves her later down the road for a younger woman. She’s homeless with 10 or more years of no job experience or education. Homeless stuck with the kids living paycheck to paycheck.
None of that is love.
Marriages can last for decades and fail at the end. Especially when someone’s a gold digger.
@summeroflove
you can't just assume that if a woman married a rich man, then it must mean she doesn't love him.
just the same way you can't say that if a man married a beautiful wife then it must mean he married her for lust.
And you’re right. But it is if it’s about money.
Same for the beautiful wife. But obviously if he’s having to promise money that’s never a good sign. Things can happen financially. Medically. Things you cannot control and sometimes someone will leave someone.
I know for a fact. But like I said…. Would you marry someone broke I’d you were in love and five all the money you have? Love goes both ways.
Same to if he was handsome but something happened to him and he looked different
@summeroflove
I really would not enter a marriage, disregarding your standards just because things can change at any moment.
I would not marry someone I'm not physically attracted to, since someone can lose his looks at any moment. If you're not physically attracted to someone, it won't be a happy marriage. There will be no sex life, no kids, you won't feel like cuddling your spouse.
I would not marry someone who can't support a family since having an incompetent provider can really make your life miserable as a parent.
Just the same way if you said you won't care if a spouse is hard working or not since they can switch up to become lazy 15 years down the road.
You can't marry someone that does not have what you are looking for.
Money matters when it comes to support a family. Money issues is the top reasons for divorce.
Don't assume that lack of money won't cause problesm, because it will.
After you marry, other things such as bills, paying for child care, paying for tuition, saving for retirement, high cost of living, all start becoming a problem.
Your honeymoon phase of romance will fade.
Yes, you can absolutely love your spouse and be miserable in marriage due to financial problems.
plus, there are pregnant women who work 12 hours a day because their husbands can't provide. Miserable ladies. And think about the negative impacts on the baby
If someone’s lazy and doesn’t want to work that’s one thing. Thinfs can happen out of your control and loose money.
So you’re right. Many people divorce because they were never married for the right reasons. People who genuinely love
One another. Will stay together through it all like you said…. They will give it all up because they love someone that much
I’m not saying there isn’t problems. But you’re a piece of shit if you claim to love someone. Then they have a medical emergency they loose their jobs and have medical bills and you leave. Despite them providing.
So if you don’t want love. Just be honest about what you want and don’t waste someone genuine time.
@summeroflove
I marry for a happy existence.
You can be married, in love but still be miserable.
Just because you married for love it does not mean you can't be miserable.
At any point if my spouse isn't making me happy then, I will divorce them
I reserve the right to be happy in marriage.
People can be miserable. But if people genuinely love one another and stay loyal. Look….
There is a fantasy that marriages are perfect. Oh your love for one another WILL be tested at some point or another. Be it financially among many other reasons.
Not a lot of people make it. Even if they were in love. But much less so if they married for other reasons
@summeroflove
If my spouse lost his high paying job, he better find a new one. It doesn't have to be equally as high paying as his last job. But he needs to be contributing to the family. If he lost his legs and is unable to work, I can be the breadwinner. As long as he does all the housework and takes care of the kids. Otherwise, I will reserve the right to divorce him. Nobody deserves to be stuck in a shitty marriage where they're doing all the nursing for the broken legged husband, all the childcare, all the housework, paying all the bills. You can say I'm an asshole but think about how much I would have to suffer for the rest of my life just because you broke your legs
Marrying them right person is what people should be going for. Not money…. Not saying marry someone who refuses to work. But at the same time money can be lost anything can happen even if someone has money now. Shit happens…
Same for you. You could be working a good paying job. Something could happen… and id you pick the wrong dude. You’re divorced
Marrying for money isn’t marrying for a happy existence. Many people marry someone they genuinely don’t feel any love for.
It’s like perverts who marry for sex get bored and cheat on someone. If you ever want to be genuinely loved you have to be able to genuinely love.
You can’t have your cake and eat it too. You can’t demand someone love you and be willing to give everything. If you refuse to do the same.
@summeroflove
[There is a fantasy that marriages are perfect. Oh your love for one another WILL be tested at some point or another. Be it financially among many other reasons.]
Love is not key to a sustainable marriage. A comfortable marriage is a sustainable marriage.
Telling your spouse that you should suffer because you love me, is not key to a sustainable marriage.
A happy marriage is about comfort, about having BOTH of your needs fulfilled.
Any man who tells his wife that she should suffer so that they both can be together is a piece of shit husband
See. You can’t genuinely love your spouse if it’s all about money. I agree most age gap relationships are questionable. But you’re the exact type.
@summeroflove
[See. You can’t genuinely love your spouse if it’s all about money. I agree most age gap relationships are questionable. But you’re the exact type.]
only broke men complain about women wanting financially stable men.
and it definitely sounds like you have money problems going on.
Because the ones who suffer most when a man is financially unstable are the women
You can’t expect a man to sacrifice financially if you refuse to do the same. You don’t want to marry for love and you’ll never be happy.
You shown your true colors now. If someone is injured or sick and they can’t control it. That’s NOT their fault. Especially in high risk fault.
A good wife has empathy and nurtures her husband. That’s disgusting
And I agree. Men shouldn’t put all the shit on their wives if they’re both working. If she stays home that’s one thing.
If you were in a medical situation and your husband was demanding you get a job and do all the things around the house. You would throw a fit.
You should NEVER marry a good man. Just be honest you want money. If you’re honest and don’t waste someone’s time who wants genuine love. Fine
@summeroflove
[You can’t expect a man to sacrifice financially if you refuse to do the same. You don’t want to marry for love and you’ll never be happy.]
what do you mean sacricice financially? ALL I AM ASKING YOU TO DO IS TO PULL YOUR OWN WEIGHT IN MARRIAGE.
DO YOU EXPECT ME TO WORK 12 HOURS A DAY AND THEN COME HOME TO TAKE CARE OF YOU AND YOUR BROKEN LEG, DO ALL THE HOUSEWORK, CHILD CARE, PAY ALL THE BILLS
WHILE YOU SIT BACK AND DO NOTHING?
THEN YOU EXPECT ME TO BE HAPPY?
SELFISH PIECE OF SHIT.
A sack of SHIT like you. “Broke legged husband” nk empathy. Narcissist at best…. No nurture. Horrible wife and mom material
You also are probably the type who would cheat behind his back witn bums and losers.
You’re the type who demands money. But when he works 70-100 hours. Oh he didn’t spend enough time with you. If he works 40 hours. He isn’t making money.
What a bum you are
@summeroflove
you're broke. thats why you hate it when women want men who can actually support the family.
So what happens if your legs are broke. Does the man work a 70 hour week and come home and wipe your ass
@summeroflove
[You’re the type who demands money. But when he works 70-100 hours. Oh he didn’t spend enough time with you. If he works 40 hours. He isn’t making money.]
I don't mind working a job after getting married. I don't marry for money. but if he isn't contributing to the marriage, I will divorce him.
And there is nothing wrong with it.
Hypocrite…. If he works his ass off to provide and is in crippling pain. You have no empathy. No nurture.
You don’t deserve a man who has that either. Put yourself in the situation. You’re injured bad. You hurt all the time can’t hardly move.
Your husband expects you to work 12 hours and come home and do housework. Take care of the kids.
Sack of shit. Worthless. Bad wife. Bad mother material.
I should’ve know this is who you are. I’m not arguing. I’m just saying what you are. You want a man to love you but you could never love someone
And I will have this discussion with my husband before I get married, I will tell him that if he is alive and well and does not contribute to the marriage, then I will reserve the right to divorce him.
there's nothing wrong with it.
We all get married so we can make each other's lives easier. If you just make my life harder, I will divorce you.
What happens if your legs are broke. That’s my point…. You’re working. You’re injured and are injured so badly you can’t hardly move without crippling pain.
Your husband divorced you….
You don’t know how common this can be. It depends how hurt someone is obviously if someone can work in a office that would be different.
But another issue is landing a job somewhere that they have zero experience in after being injured.
Probably starting back at mid or entry level jobs. You don’t know how hard it is if someone spent decades in a career and they change careers later in life.
[Hypocrite…. If he works his ass off to provide and is in crippling pain. You have no empathy. No nurture.]
who says he is crippling in pain? most men don't even work 2 jobs.
plus, if you need to work 70 hours a week , just to make a decent salary, you shouldn't be having kids.
don't have kids you can't support.
no woman deserves to work 12 hours a day then come home to do 90% of the housework and child care.
What if he’s in a coma. So you don’t care how much he provides. If he medically can't you will leave. That is NOT love. But at least you’re honest
Different story if someone can provide and just doesn’t
[Probably starting back at mid or entry level jobs. You don’t know how hard it is if someone spent decades in a career and they change careers later in life.]
I don't give a shit. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A GOOD CAREER, CANNOT MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO RAISE CHILDREN, YOU SHOULDN'T BE HAVING CHILDREN.
DON'T HAVE KIDS YOU CAN'T SUPPORT, THEN ALL YOUR PROBLEMS WILL BE SOLVED.
IF YOU NEED TO WORK 70 HOURS A WEEK TO SUPPORT YOUR KIDS, THEN DO IT! BECAUSE NO KID DESERVES TO SUFFER DUE TO YOUR IRRESPONSIBILTY
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AS A PARENT TO FULLY BE ABLE TO ADEQUATELY SUPPORT YOUR OWN CHILD
And neither do men deserve that. I agree one sided relationships suck. But if a woman did everything and she was crippled and can’t. I pray to God I would stand by her.
It’s different if someone can do things and refuse. I agree If you’re both working and able bodied that’s not fair.
But you can’t put yourself in that situation. See it would all be different if something happened to you and he left
And the same goes for you. Don’t have kids you could never nurture. You don’t have the ability
[And the same goes for you. Don’t have kids you could never nurture. You don’t have the ability]
Kids are different. Kids don't have the ability to support or feed themselves. As a parent, it is my responsibility to take care of my kids no matter how bad they are.
But it is not my responsibility to support my husband even if he is irresponsible, lazy, incompetent, never takes responsibility over his kids, never helps out around the house.
I AM HIS LIFE PARTNER, NOT HIS MOTHER.
Do you realize why women initiate 70% of all divorces?
its because women nowadays aren't happy in marriage.
Men can no longer provide like they used to. So therefore, women need to work full time jobs, only to come home to CONTINUE DOING 90% OF THE HOUSEWORK AND CHILD CARE!
Studies have shown that married men live longer than single men.
But married women live shorter lives compared to single women.
And here is the thing….. You ranted and raved about how love should be. How people should date with the intentions or love.
But now you’re contradicting yourself. Saying it should be about living happily. It seems one sided. You seem to feel like a man should be willing to sacrifice financially but a woman shouldn’t have to.
As well as a man should love his wife hir a woman doesn’t have to love her husband
That’s part of my point for many people nothings good enough. Divorce now days is easy used to divorcing someone came with social stigmas. Women couldn’t be financially independent.
I feel like if divorce was simply convenient many people would still divorce. At least rhese women aren’t wasting their husbands lives away anymore as much as ir sucks
Many people men and women refuse to put the effort into a marriage. They sit around feeling entitled to the other spouse to do everything.
At some point something gives
Most marriages FAIL…. Because they aren’t built on genuine love. Many marriages are built on lust. Especially fucking around and marrying the first person you knock up or get knocked up by.
Many people marry for financial reasons. They marry someone who has money. But once kids come along and you buy a house etc…. Money is gone.
But I’ve also said. No marriage shouod be one sided. I’ve called out men here MANY times who seem to think a woman should work and do all the housework. I also disagree with that it’s one sided.
If you are able bodied it should be equal effort. If someone’s injured to the point where they can’t…. That’s different then simply being too lazy to
“Men can no longer provide” well you said you’re fine with working. If all you want a man is for what they can do for you miss narcissist. Be honest about wanting money.
Most so called traditional relationships is a woman sitting on her ass all day saying how hard her life is and making her husband come home after work and do everything.
Most people don’t want genuine love. That’s why they fail…. Women marry a man because they want money. Status. Etc… and become unhappy because there is no connection.
Wanting something more traditional is fine if you know what you’re doing. The ones that work are ones where a woman stays home because it’s easier. The man’s making enough to where they don’t need a second salary. But she does everything around the house… and if she needed to work she can. It’s not because she’s lazy.
I will say this to you again.
Nobody deserves to be in an unhappy marriage.
YES, YOU CAN MARRY FOR LOVE AND STILL BE UNHAPPY IN MARRIAGE.
I don't know what sort of delusion you live in where if you marry for love then you must be happy regardless if you are stuck with a lazy husband, broke husband, husband who never contributes, a husband who is irresponsible,
My point is...
I marry so that I can live a better life. If my life is worse off with you in the picture, you need to be dumped.
And I do not apologize for saying that.
In marriage, we both are both supposed to support each other. If I am not benefitting in any way shape or form, there is no point in me being married.
If my life were to be better as a single person, then why would I stay married to him?
you explain this to me.
And as for getting sick and dying, THIS IS TO BE EXPECTED TO HAPPEN at some point down the road. We all get sick, old and die. If I am 55 years old and my husband is ill or can't get out of bed, I will take care of him.
@summeroflove
But if I were YOUNG AT 40 and this were to happen, I don't deserve to spend the remainder of my life being a slave to someone who is stuck in bed. I don't deserve having to work 12 hours a day, come home only to do 100% of the housework, 100% of the child care, 100% taking care of my injured spouse.
NOBODY DESERVES THIS TYPE OF LIFE.
So I will divorce depending on the circumstances.
Don't be selfish. Your wife does not exist to serve your every need.
So you’re making my point for me. Most men and women marry for superficial and materialistic reasons.
That’s most age gap relationships as well…. And people aren’t happy anymore divorce is convenient now not like it used to be.
People do marry for the right reasons sometikes. I’m not even saying everyone who married for the wrong are bad people per say. They just been taught this is why you should marry….. And it doesn’t work.
A genuine marriage that’s built on equal effort. Even a traditional is equal effort both people working equally hard in separate roles to support one another. Most people who want something traditional (men or women) want the benefits of it but none of the giving.
Real marriage face struggle. They overcome. They love one another. Most marriages not built on genuine love and respect will never last.
But by all means if that’s what you want. Be honest…. If he chooses to marry you he knows what he’s getting into. That’s all I’ll say about that.
I’m not being selfish. You’re making this one sided not me.
I’ve said multiple times EQUAL EFFORT…. You want all the benefits none of the giving.
No man is entitled to marry you…. You realize this. If you want to be single. Be single. Don’t waste your own time or the time of any man if you’re this bitter
I would divorce someone too if it was one sided. If she for instance stayed home and refused to do anything despite being able bodied.
But for sure if we are both working I don’t expect her to do everything. Many men do this…
It seems to be when narcissists and empathic people get together. There is one set of standards for themselves and another for their partner.
You seem to feel entitled. No man has to marry you and provide for you. None…. So what do YOU… bring to the table.
As for my husband losing his job, ITS OK TO LOSE HIS JOB. As long as he finds another one eventually. It is even ok its not as high paying as his last job. But a man is supposed to provide. Just the same way men expect women to do 90% of the housework and child care.
But overall, I will not marry a man who doesn't make enough money to support children. As a hard working competent woman who has worked her ass off to become financially stable, I don't deserve someone who is incompetent or lazy. Becoming financially stable requires a lot of hard work, education, dedication, skill. If you aren't financially stable, it means you lack these qualities listed.
Its also highly irresponsible as a provider to have kids you KNOW YOU can't SUPPORT.
I’m saying… imagine you marry a man who works a high risk job as well as is mentally and physically stressed all day. You’re working a job that’s stressful but not so bad…
He comes home. Does dishes. Cleans the house. Cooks dinner. What are you doing? Are you helping or are you laying in bed.
Now what happens if there is a workplace accident. He can’t walk anymore. Is in chronic pain. Has to find a entirely new job because he isn’t able to preform the same tasks that he used to be able to.
Shir can happen and if you would divorce him. You deserve a man that if you lost your money or beauty one day. He would do the same thing to you.
Superficial people like yourself will probably be divorced…. That’s how I’ve always seen it. Nothings ever good enough. Someone can always do better. You’re not willing to put the same effort and sacrifices.
Just like the men…. Who want rhier woman doinf all the housework after coming home from a long day of working
You simply aren’t looking for a genuine connection. You want a one sided relationship. You want a man to be your slave.
You feel entitled and irs probably best you stay single if you think you’ll live longer and be happier
Finds another one eventually okay…. But it could be mid to even entry level jobs. It’s possible someone could be dying and not be able to be employed full time anymore.
If you love someone you can love them through their worst moments.
And you can’t nurture children because you lack empathy. Sorry…. I guess don’t have them.
Listen, if you work 50,80 hours a week and you still can't support a family, then you SHOULDN'T be having kids. Learn to be less irresponsible in life and you will have less problems.
[He comes home. Does dishes. Cleans the house. Cooks dinner. What are you doing? Are you helping or are you laying in bed.]
actually women do this. women work full time jobs, only to come home to do 90% of the housework and child care.
this is why women initiate 70% of divorces.
women simply aren't happy being married
and i have no intention getting myself in a similar situation
Also…. People can marry one another because they genuinely love one another. But not have kids until they’re more financially stable. Abortion is obviously wrong but there is other methods of birth control.
But sometimes people are doing fine. Until kids come…. Pregnancies can’t come unexpected and irs better then aborting….
But people can be well off doing just fine. Until they have kids… and it eats away their money. Especially buying a house and cars among other things.
You never have to have kids or get married if you don’t want to. That’s fine what I’m
Calling out is your hypocrisy
[And you can’t nurture children because you lack empathy. Sorry…. I guess don’t have them.]
I think you are just saying this because you know you can't provide for your family and you're deeply insecure about it so you demand that women should forgive you for your incompetence
No, I do not think that you believe I lack empathy.
I think that you DO AGREE with everything I have said but are just too wounded in yourself to accept the fact that you will make a terrible spouse.
You sound like someone who demands everything but can never give anything
Like I said before…. People get married and wait to have kids. You can love someone without wanting kids right away
I don’t expect a woman whose working to do 90-100 percent of the housework. Yeah if I’m the sole provider I would. But that’s different.
I agree if people are able bodied who genuinely love one another. There will be equal effort I’m just saying things can happen out of your control or his…. Later on.
Also if you’re only marrying for the sake of having children. You probably shouldn’t be married. That’s another type of marriage that commonly flops.
Listen, if you're making minimum wage at mcdonalds, you shouldn't be looking to have any kids.
And don't complain on here about how women don't want to start a family with you
don't call them insults either
Well if someone’s 18-21 and it’s their first job or whatever. Now someone’s value doesn’t come with their salary. If you’re someone who goes to McDonald’s and is rude to workers because you look down on them yet still eat there.
I’m not complaining about the majority of women. You’re the one complaining about men. I don’t feel entitled to a woman the way you feel entitled to a man…
Despite saying how you would be better off single and you’ll live longer. You still want to marry someone who has money.
NOT all women are the same. Just like not all men are the same. Most women are decent human beings and so are most men. But if you let the bad apples spoil the bunch
So you’re projecting on me who you are…. I don’t feel entitled for any woman to marry me and if a woman doenst genuinely love me I would be better off alone.
But you on the other hand complain. Just be single… nothing is wrong with that.
@summeroflove
Nobody has babies at 18-21 nowadays. Its highly rare to find someone that age with a baby.
But if you are 30 and you still are working low wage jobs, it means you didn't do what you were supposed to be doing, which is building yourself.
And the consequences are terrible for the children born under poverty.
And I’m not talking men who work at McDonald’s. I’m taking about men who are working high paying jobs… When kids come around and shit happens you can go from middle class on down faster then you think.
Plus. I see it too where men do use women for money. There are men who live in their moms basement taking advantage of women who are just trying to make ends meet.
There is men who smoke pot and play Xbox while the wife works all day. That’s wrong as well…. That’s disgusting to me.
But it’s also disgusting for a woman to marry a man in the military. Use him. Cheat on him with over a dozen men. Then lie about him that he was abusive and cheating. When it all comes out it was really her. Never lifting a finger around the house.
If you want to marry to live a better life. That’s not marrying for love. If you’re not marrying for love but you expect the man to love you. What is he getting from that?
Besides. By what you’ve told me. You would be happier single and live longer. So you would live a happier life by never marrying. So why don’t you do that if you think life would be better
You said earlier. When discussing age gap marriages. How it should be about love. But when it comes to you. You want to live a happy life. You don’t want to love a man
Many young people have kidsn
Really if you’re not wanting to make a genuine connection but want him to love you meanwhile your want a happier life.
You really being nothing of value to the table. The type of men you want aren’t going to choose you…. I’m sorry. There are women who have more to offer.
Even if you get one you would probably divorce him anyways…. So you should stay single.
Obviously you’ll be happier and live longer. No need to be bitter with men. Just accept you’re not entitled to a man and that it’s okay to be single.
And I have a life so I’ll be back later to see what other bullshit you post.
But I see women like you frequently. At some point you can’t find the type of man you want so you’ll take advantage of some man trying to make ends meet when you get late 20s or 30s. Start panicking you’ll never have kids and everyone you know is married.
This is so common
Listen,
I don't care about how much you hate rich men or how you hope they have their downfall eventually.
Truth is... once you get out of low paying work, you don't tend to ever go back to low paying work.
And I say this as someone who has worked low wage jobs in my early 20s.
It's highly rare to find someone work a high paying job only to pop back to working at mcdonalds.
In other countries, women get taken care of by men. In other countries, Men want to provide. Women get to stay home and focus on taking care of the children since SHE DOES NOT HAVE TO WORK. In america, men WHINE about having to provide for women.
So what ends up happening is that women in america work full time jobs, only to come home to do 90% of the housework and child care.
HOUSEWORK AND CHILDCARE STILL REMAINS A FEMALE RESPONSIBILITY.
DESPITE THE FACT THAT VAST MAJORITY OF WOMEN WORK JOBS IN THE US
I have been told to NEVER MARRY A MAN WHO MAKES LESS MONEY THAN ME.
And seeing your bitterness, hate, and resentment, I can totally see why this advice is true.
Poor men usually are unhappy, have terribly low self esteem, insecure and hate those who make more money than them.
They like to destroy anyone who makes them feel less.
And you are the UTMOST, PERFECT example of this.
And what will happen many times people get married to someone “for a happier life” they crave a deeper connection.
So many people will have affairs and find that in someone else
You can’t expect to be loved if you don’t wanna love.
Besides. A man working a job with high mental and/or physical stress. Whst can you do for him? Can you be physically and emotionally supportive?
@summeroflove
love doesn't matter when you can't pay your bills or are heavily pregant working 12 hours a day cuz your husband can't support you
why can't you love a man who has his shit together rather than an irresponsible dumb broke dude who doesn't have anything together?
just the same way if I asked you... why would you pick to love an ugly fat woman if you can love a beautiful gorgeous woman?
@summeroflove
[Besides. A man working a job with high mental and/or physical stress. Whst can you do for him? Can you be physically and emotionally supportive?]
yea this entire time you are demanding your wife offer you shit
when was the last time you offered anything to your wife? NEVER
All you do is stomp your feet and make DEMANDS
Okay I’ve had enough I’m obviously not getting through to you and you keep talking in circles and trying to divert the subject
@summeroflove
no. im deliberately ignoring your poor man rants.
you're just a poor man throwing a non stop tantrum about how all women should still love him
All your poor woman rants
You’re just a broke woman wanting a man financially. No man with money or assets wants that.
Even if you’re a stay at home wife you need to be able to manage money. Not just blow it….
But you don’t want true love. You want a man to love you unconditionally but you could never do the same.
Like I said. Be single. Also
Also you’re not ignoring my rants. Because you’re copy and pasting exactly what I said and responding to it.
Contradicting yourself. You have a lot of cognitive dissidence though. Saying about true love then saying marriage shouldn’t be about love. Saying you’re ignoring my rants after you copied and pasted them
And I’m not judging you for being poor because you don’t have money. You’re just probably bad with money. In debt. Make bad financial decisions and want a man to bail you out.
That’s not love. You might as well marry a old man with money and life insurance. There’s a difference.
Men with money what a woman whose financially responsible whether you have money or not
@summeroflove
thats what all a bitter broke man says.
im not broke like you.
nobody likes the poor.
thats why you're so bitter and sour.
More broke rants. You turn to insults when you have no point. I thought you were over this rant
With most people I’m not bitter towards. You’re just contradicting yourself every step of the way.
You want true love. But you don’t. You’re not reading my rants but you copy and paste them then pick them apart.
I hope you find Jesus. Jesus was broke…. So
You must be poor and broke if you need a man to fund your lifestyle. Women can be poor technically but still very good with money. She becomes a asset to a man with wealth because she can manage money.
Back in the day number one many women did work. But the middle class (which there was more of) and upper classes did stay home. Even a job at a factory could support a family.
You also say you’ll work. But what job? Part time at McDonald’s? Being a teachers aide? That’s probably your definition of working
If you want a man whose working a mentally or physically stressful job. You need to be able to provide emotionally and physically.
Meaning you have to be nurturing. Willing to work if you have to. Love stands the rest of time. Love doesn’t fade because people get old or loose money. It adapts and overcomes.
Like wedding vows…. The worst and best of times are when love is tested
People can be well off financially. Then kids come along and more kids. Then medical bills and everything else.
Bad times test love for sure. Its easy to vow to be with someone rich or poor. But to have a life altering event that changes that puts that to the teat. Being well off financially is a test as well.
Such as if you gain financial independence some day and leave him because simply you don’t need him
Wanting someone because you love their soul is one thing. But wanting someone because of how much money they have. How good they look. How strong they are. Etc.
There will always be someone who has it better. In some way or another….. and more often then not people like you jump
One person to the next. As well as have affairs because you never built that genuine love and end up finding people as bitter as yourself.
See you must be emotionally invested in this conversation because I quit replying figuring you were done. But yet here you are again….
You seemed to love it when I was saying thinfd you agree with. But as soon as I said something you diddnt. You’re obviously triggered because I called something out in you.
If you forever stay the way you are now. You will NEVER find true love. NEVER…. Even if you marry rich. That marriage will probably last 10 maybe 20 years at best. Maybe not even that.
I’ve seen your kind before… You are in fantasy delusional land. But one day you’ll be 30s. 40s. 50s…. Alone.
Either your narcissist husband dumps you for a younger woman. Something happens and you divorce him. Anything….
You obviously don’t have a job to be responding all hours of the day and night.
@summeroflove
sounds like you're just projecting.
Angry that women dont want to start a family with you because you're an irresponsible piece of shit who can't get his shit together.
nobody likes poor. don't expect anyone to "like" poor. you are delusional that anyone would find "poor " sexy.
don't keep talking about "true love". no woman would rather love a poor man than a rich man.
going around spewing non sense such as looks don't matter, money doesn't matter, obesity doesn't matter, being irresponsible doesn't matter, as long as true love exists, then you should be fine.
life doesn't work that way. Doesn't matter if you don't like it
Also. You rant about back in the day. People also used to have values. They stayed married no matter what even through the worst of times.
Nowdays. Divorce is convenient and easy
Doesn’t matter if you don’t like it. A man whose working hard who has a lot to offer doesn’t want to come home to someone like you. Who can’t tell me what you have to offer
I mean at the end of the day…. Yeah people should take care of themselves. But beauty fades as people get older so you’re right.
People who don’t have true love will leave someone once they grow old…. People like you don’t want true love.
So just go marry a old man. Or Better yet…. If you’re better off sjngle. You’ll be happier and live longer. Stay single….
You literally made the point too when we first started this conversation. About how just physical beauty isn’t a real relationship and a man won’t build a relationship or marry a woman or financially sacrifice for a woman he doesn’t love more then just that.
You’re right…. At the end of the day a man who doesn’t genuinely love you for you but just your beauty. If you gained weight later in life especially after having children which physically changes you by the way.
As well as you naturally age….. not to mention if before even that. If a more beautiful woman comes along he will leave you
So…. Yeah I agree with the points you made on that issue. There are men who only want physical beauty and will allow a woman to treat him any way because she looks good.
But no man with self respect wants that. A man with goals. A man who has his life together. Wants a woman who has ambition, goals, and also has her life together.
Just like a woman who has lots of options will go for the best one or the one she falls for. A man’s the same way…. He will go for
The best.
If he’s not superficial or materialistic. Then he would date a woman whose maybe overweight or is broke. But also provides love. Care. Support…. Encouragement. Someome he can be vulnerable around emotionally as well as just be able to be himself at the end of the day
@summeroflove
you have to work ridiculously hard because you make 8 dollars an hour.
If you were actually a hard working ambitious person, you wouldn't be making 8 dollars an hour.
Lets face it, you're a lazy unintelligent irresponsible piece of shit.
and the fact that you're forcing your pregnant wife to work 12 hours a day just to make ends meet is CRUEL.
you want to demand your wife give you everything while YOU GIVE HER NOTHING
@summeroflove
you say beauty means nothing because you can't get a beautiful woman. No high value woman with options wants you.
But if you had to pick between a model wife and a fat ugly wife, everyone knows you would pick the model wife.
don't act like you won't.
People choose partners based off of their ability to reproduce and raise offspring.
A broke ass like you who CANNOT SUPPORT CHILDREN, will not appeal to anyone.
Just the same way an unhealthy obese woman will not appeal to anyone. Children are much more likely to suffer from health problems or die being born to obese individuals.
it has nothing to do with being shallow.
humans have EVOLUTIONIZED to pick partners based on health, wealth and reproductive fitness.
its the LAW OF MATING
Minimum wage is higher then 8 dollars
Anyone who has working balls or a vagayjay can make babies.
But at the end of the day things can happen later in a marriage. If people genuinely love one another regardless of how they met they won’t leave.
People used to stay through financial hardships. People even stayed through affairs (which is wrong)
You talk about how people who date should have things in common. I guess that don’t matter either if you’re only marrying for kids.
Besides. People who get married just for children rarely make it. Not saying they can’t… but not often
but you keep attacking me. You’re triggered because you know what I’m saying is true. Marty for materialistic reasons if you wish just be honest about it. You deserve what you both get if you are
NOT everyone has to conform to your dating standards. I’m not dating you…. Therefore I don’t have to conform to your way of thinking when it comes to dating. You don’t have to conform to mine.
But if your beleif system only works by bullying others into thinking how you do. Then you don’t really have one.
I don’t really understand why you’re so triggered. It’s not like we’re together….. so why you care? How does it affect your life.
Because you have no lide
*life
Like let me tell you…. If you’re married to someone you have NOTHING in common with…. Because he has money and looks good. That marriage is probably going to fail at some point.
You told me how much having things in common and being genuinely in love means when it comes to relationships you disagree with…. Because you think you can control everyone.
But then it doesn’t matter when it comes to your real idea of dating
I thought you weren’t reading my “broke man” rants. Yet you’re still replying.
I promise when you plop out babies as well as hit menopause. You’re going to physically change. You can still look good but you’re going to change.
A man who genuinely loves you wouldn’t leave you because you gained weight. A man who doesn’t will divorce you and marry a younger beautiful woman…. That happens a lot.
So do what you wish. If you’re honest about what you want. Okay…
Look as far as relationships go everyone’s different. You think everyone wants the same thing as you but they don’t.
If that works for you…, then that works for you. Stop forcing everyone to conform to your standards of dating. Obviously you can’t find the type of men you want or you wouldn’t be so bitter. As well as ranting about how men are this and men can’t do that anymore.
No self respecting man wants a sexist pig
But it’s typical of narcissistic feminists. You want all the benefits of traditional dating. But none of the giving parts thars all sexist.
There are women in one sided relationships. There are men in one sided relationships. You seem to think it’s okay for a man to get the short end of the stick. Just not the woman… based off what you’re saying.
@summeroflove
aren't you one sided? you want your wife to work 12 hours a day, come home only to do 90% of the housework?
you want your wife to do all the work suffering to carry the kids for 9 months, torture her by forcing her to birth the kids, now you want her to pay MOST OF THE BILLS, do MOST OF THE HOUSEWORK AND CHILDCARE.
what have you offered to your wife? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
All you did was to enjoy sex, expect her to birth all the children, do all the housework/child care, pay all the bills.
And all that was expected of you is to go to work at your minimum wage job then come home
No I don’t want my wife to do that as I’ve said. Ifs different if I marry someone who stays home all day.
No…. If my wife made more then me and was stressed I would support her. I would expect the same from my wife.
If I’m loyal and stay by her throuhj thick and thin. I expect her to do the same.
I literally rave all the time about one sided relationships. Both men… and women.
But you keep taking my words and making them into what you want me to be saying not what I’m really saying.
It’s different too if a man’s working a higher stress job then the woman. Not saying she should do all the housework. But it depends on the relationship. All marriages are different
But you’re projecting your own way of thinking on me. That’s not how I think at all.
BOTH PEOPLE NEED TO CONTRUBUTE SOMETHING OF VALUE TO THE OTHER
That doesn’t have to be materialistic or superficial. Real marriages take work on BOTH sides. And when one person or the other just feels a entitled making the other person do everything. Eventually they become burnt out.
I’ve seen it happen BOTH ways. Many times
You’re making things up that I said I never said. I literally talked about men who do that exact same thing and said they are shitbags.
But your goldfish memory kust keeps reverting back to the same talking points. You keep forgetting you told me and I rebutted
@summeroflove
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOUR WIFE WILL STAY HOME?
IF YOUR WIFE STAYED HOME, SHE WOULD BE DRINKING WATER FOR DINNER.
YOUR KIDS WILL LOOK THROUGH THE GARBAGE CANS FOR THEIR NEXT WINTER COAT.
GO FUCK YOURSELF
@summeroflove
A PIECE OF SHIT LIKE YOU, PROUD OF THE FACT THAT HE WORKS A MINIMUM WAGE JOB, CAN'T SUPPORT A FAMILY... STILL INSIST THAT WOMEN SHOULD WANT TO HAVE KIDS WITH HIM.
A LIFE WITH YOU IS A LIFE OF SUFFERING
LETS MAKE THAT CLEAR
So when it comes down to it. If one spouse or the other is putting the physical, emotional, mental, etc work into the relationship and the other spouse refuses. Be that the man or the woman. Yes that relationship is going to fail.
But yes people can loose money. Yes people can gain weight. Doesn’t mean that both people don’t do their best to fix it. But real people in love stay together and figure it out. They aren’t cowards. They don’t cheat. They don’t just divorce.
Now sometimes you have to divorce. If there is abuse or affairs going on. Being in a one sided relationship is abuse.
But. For people who have nothing in common. Marry for superficial and materliaric reasons. Their marriages fail 6 ways from Sunday. There is many ways they fail as I’ve mentioned.
There are men who work 70 hours. Come home. Cook dinner. Clean. Put the kids to bed. When the wife doesn’t work and sits around all the time. There are men who smoke pot and play video games while the wife works.
It’s wrong…. It’s wrong either way. But for some reason you refuse to call narcissistic women out. I’ll call narcissistic men out and get called a a simp. Lol
I don’t hate people who have money lol. So again you’re making weird wrong assumptions.
I tell me who have money I advice them STRONGLY to be aware of women like yourself. Who don’t want a genuine relationship. In fact men without money tend to find better quality women at times.
Men who have money who been through it will say it
A man can make less money then a woman and still be a loving husband. So if he does a lot of housework. Provides emotional and physical support to a woman.
That’s not being worthless. Smoking pot and being unemployed. While the wife works doing nothing is
Lets make this CLEAR.
Your wife did all the suffering to carry EVERY SINGLE CHILD for 9 months, forcing her to WORK A JOB WHILE HEAVILY PREGNANT, TORTURE HER by forcing her to birth the kids. She NEVER GETS ENOUGH TIME TO FULLY HEAL properly after child birth, having to return to work within a a few weeks after giving birth. Now you want her to pay MOST OF THE BILLS, do MOST OF THE HOUSEWORK AND CHILDCARE?
and you're saying you're the victim? how dare you
Lol. Seeing the way you’re typing I’m glad I repulse women like you. Like I’m dodging major bullets.
It does depend on the relationship. Every man and woman is different. So it’s okay that people want and look for different things.
You’re upset about other peoples relationships. As if people have to conform to your standards. As if every man is dating you and you’re hating men….
You said you wouldn’t mind working…. And if all you have to offer is plopping our babies. Any woman can do that.
Not all women can nurture. Love. Create strong bonds with both her husband and children. Provide mental and emotional support to a exhausted man coming home from work.
And no…. You’re making things up again. You say one thing and contradict yourself.
Lets make this CLEAR.
Your wife did all the suffering to carry EVERY SINGLE CHILD for 9 months, forcing her to WORK A JOB WHILE HEAVILY PREGNANT, TORTURE HER by forcing her to birth the kids.

Now you want her to pay MOST OF THE BILLS, do MOST OF THE HOUSEWORK AND CHILDCARE?
and you're saying you're the victim? how dare you
You’re such a angry bitter person. Why don’t you stay single? Nobody’s forcing you to date me… I don’t really want someone like you anyways.
this is the reason why women don't want to marry broke men.

More copy and paste…. Same old rants and talking points. More taking things out of context.
You want a man who works 70 hours a week to come home and wipe your royal ass. Nobody’s making you date me so why do you care what I want.
I already said I’d you want money. Just be honest what you want. You want a man to love you but you don’t need to love him.
I don’t think you understand a true relationship. That’s bonding. It’s a friendship. It’s companinioship. Ifs supporting one another mentally and emotionally.
Someone like you who can’t even control your own emotions and take your anger out on men in general. Could never be with a man whose had a long day at work without making him miserable
I mean you would be a miserable cow to marry. Thank God women like you don’t want me….
If all women were like you. Yes, I would rather be single then be married. At least I would have peace
You’re broke
I tell men all the time that what women go through is harder then you think. But I also tell women not to take it out on their man but find one whose there for you.
Yes pregnancy is harder then it looks and a real partner is there for his woman when she’s pregnant. When she’s having her periods. When she’s going through menopause. Yes women need love and support too.
But a relationship is a two way street. You can’t demand love and support. If you could never give any….
@summeroflove
ok how are you there for your wife?
if you're just literally TORTURING HER? MAKING HER DO EVERYTHING?
You can't support her. You can't feed the kids. You can't birth the kids. You can't do childcare and housework.
what are you giving to your wife? NOTHING
Why would any woman want to be your wife?
Pregnancy and birthing and parenting is much harder for a mother to accomplish if she has a man who cannot support her, who cannot take care of her.
Well it’s different if she’s not working and I am. Equal effort working equally hard in separate roles. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be there for her.
But you’re not my wife and never will be. So don’t worry about it
It’s much harder making your husband so miserable you become a single mom. Supporting someone and taking care of someone is beyond just money by the way.
There is many ways peoppe suouoe love and take care of one another. You can marry for
Money and one day that money could
Be gone
But it’s hard to take care of kids. When you got a wife who blows all the money on herself
I have never seen that exaggerated on here or anywhere else, but many women prefer older men, I am one and I, personally, know a few others who feel the same. However, there is a huge difference between 10 years and 20 years.
Women, on the other hand, message and respond most often to men about their own age. Once they reach 35, women actually respond more often to younger guys. But because men are usually the conversation starters, the older-man-younger-woman paradigm prevails.

Because some do. And you should know how many GaGers think in absolutes, like when some tall girl gets rejected by one guy she is into then a post appears on GaG: Why don't men like tall girls?

Well I know several couples with a 10+ year age difference and in general they don't seem any more or less successful than the ones close in age. I've dated up to 17 years younger with no issues - well obviously I'm not still in those relationships but I'm not in the ones where they were about my age either.
@zagor
Heterosexual couples with large age gaps had a faster decline in relationship satisfaction in their first 6 to 10 years of marriage than similarly aged couples. Couples with an age gap of 1 to 3 years (with the man older than the woman) were the most common and had the greatest levels of satisfaction
psychcentral.com/.../age-difference-in-relationships
Starting with a reference point of the same age couple, a couple who has a 1-year age difference has a 3% greater likelihood of divorce. If there is a 5-year age difference, the risk increases 18%. 10 year age difference yields increased risk of 39%. If there is a 20-year age difference, the risk increases 95%!

unlike the common retard getting married, older men who date much younger don't get married becvause women are like cars, a depreciating asset
data shows young women aren't marrying significantly older men. Instead, they are only going for men 2-3 years older.
But in real life experience, girls likes elder men.
Women, on the other hand, message and respond most often to men about their own age. Once they reach 35, women actually respond more often to younger guys. But because men are usually the conversation starters, the older-man-younger-woman paradigm prevails.

Dataclysm, a book by Christian Rudder based on data from the dating site OkCupid, found that young women tend to find men their own age or slightly older most desirable, e. g. 20-year-old women found 23-year-old men most attractive and 30-year-old women found 30-year-old men most attractive.[49] In contrast, men displayed a consistent preference for women in their early 20s, e. g. 50-year-old men found 22-year-old women most attractive.[49]
