[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. Interesting that the replies are so negative. I’ve never dated older, but I don’t have the same visceral, knee-jerk NO that almost every single PP has had. [/quote]

I've noticed this on DCUM. There are a few topics that come up that trigger on immediate intense reaction, because posters are not worried about appearing discriminatory. Age difference in dating or marriage is one of them. Not pushing one's child academically too early is another (no to Tiger parenting!). There's a set of communal beliefs here in the educated affluent woke set :-). For the age difference thing, I think it's because most posters are working women who believe their independence and success depends on having a partner of similar age and profile. I'm sure a lot of them would also not be comfortable marrying outside their culture/religion/language/HHI etc, but since that's not as PC, it's not said as much.

I am WAY outside the norm on so many of these things. Tiger parent here who married someone of a very different culture and age :-)
