Ask 100 women over 50 who they were dating when they were 16 or 17.
Half will tell you they were in a totally boring relationship with a young man about 5 years older than them..
It was normal. It was fine. Nobody was traumatized.
yes, you're right.
older women's dating pool was also limited pretty much to their home-town.
today womens hypergamie gets superboosted by social media to extend their dating-pool to top-guys around the whole country or even world.
