Such as a 30 year old man marrying a 40 year old woman or something like that. Why all the fuss?

@Josh the Alien once your past the age of 18 big age gaps like 10 years 20 years and 30 years is not a issue anymore.

@Swimming in it If it was a 40 year man marrying a 30 year old woman nobody says anything because it's not a issue if the man is 10 years older than the woman.

@ShoeLover not as a weird as it would be the other way round i personally think older women are different too older men when their other half is younger.

Ten years isn't that much of a gap. What's the problem? It's not that uncommon in people over 30 or 35. Never heard anyone say they were against this. Except the pre adolescents here on YA, of course.

There could be many reasons, but societal norms are probably one of the most important. It also reflects gender stereotypes in that, traditionally, a man is supposed to take care of his spouse and, in order to do that, should be older than her. While there have always been exceptions, these days May-December (younger/older) relationships and marriages for both or either gender are more common, but old habits/customs die hard and that's why some people see this as a cause for fuss.

Both sexes are surprisingly rigid about ages. After the age of 21, any 10 year difference is suspicious. Women dislike the December-May relationship because they fear young women will take their mates. Maybe not conciously, but I think it does provoke fear. As for women taking younger partners, I can't understand the fear of that at all.

His relatives want him to reproduce. Few women over 40 are actually looking forward to raising another baby. For some though.. it's the major goal with a deadline looming. Anybody's guess.

😃

Because some people can't mind their own business. If they're both legal consenting adults with an IQ above 85, I don't see the issue.

Who would be against that?
I would only be worried if the woman has has multiple divorces already, because you'll just turn out to be a another statistic. Other than that...a 10 year difference isn't much of a big deal when the guy is 30.
