In this day and age, does age really matter?
On the jeepney ride to the office, I thought of this. I was thinking about what Yaya's sis told me about her classmate. She has a classmate who is 19 years old and going out with a guy who is 32. Not much of a problem there since she's over 18 and at that age a 13 year difference doesn't really matter. But then, Yaya's sis went on and told us that they have been going out for 5 years. Goodness! At that time, she was 14 and he was 27. Am I being too prejudiced when I say that he's a freaking cradle snatcher? Couldn't he date someone older?
And then I thought about my former boss and his, then, girlfriend. The age difference was 10 years. His, now, wife, is 10 years older than him. At first, when I didn't know their ages, it didn't matter. When I knew of their ages, it didn't matter either. I just had an awareness of their situation but it really didn't bother me. They started going out when my boss was 30 and his wife was 40. No big deal.
So why does it bother me when a 19 year old goes out with a 33 year old?
