What is the story about AGE?

What is the big deal about dating a guy who is younger? It is not like he is 13-14, for goodness sake, he is 6months to a year younger, and you are only 22. Big deal. And what happens if you are 26 and he is three years younger? I don’t understand where the whole thing started that the girl must be younger.
Is it so bad that a guy is mature enough to go out with a girl who is two years his senior? Or is it bad that the girl is dating a guy who two years her junior? On whose part is it the “oh wow” said about? Him being younger or her being older?
Age doesn’t really make a difference. Let me retract that statement. I have friends who married guys ten years their senior. Now that is a WOW! It is almost like a different generation. When you grew up strawberry shortcake and care bears, he grew up with…holly hobby, well I guess the boys version of that generation. That’s the hardship you have. You can’t talk to him about your childhood games and dolls since he might not know what they are, especially if he grew up elsewhere, and not in the USA. But other than that, what is the whole thing about age?
I have a few friends who married younger and do they think they married a baby? Obviously not! They are still married. So can you tell me why people are shocked when the girl is smart, pretty, intelligent…the whole nine yards, why people are in a shock when they hear the guy is younger than her….what is the big deal? Did she settle? She is only 22 and engaged to a guy who is 21.5 or 21! Whoopee! What’s wrong with that??
And if the guy gets engaged to an “older” girl people wonder what is wrong with the nebach girl. I can’t stand how this works.
And then you have the reverse affect. Older single girls want to date guys their age or a few years older. “I want a guy my age within a year or two.” Never mind when you were 20 you dated guys 4 years older than you, but now that you are that age you only want your age, and if he is older than me and single there must be something wrong. Hello……….you are older and single too, is there something wrong with you? Obviously you don’t think so, so why are you being picky about his age??? What is the difference anyway? You all have to readjust your lifestyle to accommodate another person, your spouse at any age…so what is the difference how old they are?
I would love to hear your comments on this topic….so please……
