      Wait a minute, was this ever actually a fashion?

      I thought that that was just the way things tended to pan out, as opposed to people deliberately requesting that their matchmaker find a younger wife or older husband for them?

      I mean, yeah, I’m older than my precious princess, but that’s not because I asked her age, it’s because she really wanted Colin Firth, but got me instead. Not that I’m complaining, Colin Firth is almost as dead sexy too.

      Eh, you see these kinds of headlines everywhere. It just comes down to biology. If you want kids, choosing an older wife makes things difficult. If you don’t care, then choose whatever you’d like.

      Saying it’s a norm that’s outdated is just an ignorant take.

      Mommy, will you change my diaper?

      It’s fetishism, and sexualisation of the older woman. It’s wrong, but it feels so right? Right!!!

      I’d say 15% enjoy their company, the other 15% fetishized, but all 30% are Oedipus Complex adherents!

      Let’s not forget that these include grannies.

      I’m willing to bet 5% obachan.

      It’s okay grandma, now that grandpa is gone, I will comfort you. 😏

      In this political climate with a female prime minister, and recent ‘studies’ claiming that working women do not decrease the birthrate, I think I’ll take this one with a grain of salt, in fact two scoops of salt.

      My wife is older than me, but it’s not like we started dating because of that and I’m sure the vast majority is just like me.

      Do you enjoy each others company? Yes? Then who gives a fuck if she’s older or younger than you.
