And not just straight men. I've seen far worse in the homosexual community than I have in the heterosexual community. But...that said....
...do you think most men go for partners considerably younger than them? Do you think its social or biological? Both?
See, I was thinking about it today. Back in the day, women were very low status. That's one reason Paul made all those marriage restrictions. I always thought men dumping women to chase after a younger woman was an affluent male thing to do, but then one of my friends (not affluent) told me about some women that had happened to. So, I'm thinking its just human nature. Which would also explain why pagan societies were cool with it, since they pretty much celebrated human nature (poor over rich, strong over weak, men over women, so on and so forth).
It could also be social, now that I think about it. If you have money and freedom, why not get a younger partner (with less power, presumably) every now and then? Look at female celebs who go for younger (and less affluent and powerful) men. I guess if you get enough monies and power, you figure....who cares? I dunno.
Thoughts?
