Returning to Monday's theme of age, I just remembered a topic someone raised with me some time ago.
Apparently, said person had noticed a trend of 30-something-year-old males going out with older women. Mid-forties upwards.
She asked if I had noticed a similar trend.
Alas, as I am yet
to hit that age group, and know few people within it, I haven't noticed any such thing.
But I can see how it might happen.
Of the 30-something single women I do know, most seem to have one thing on their mind. Babies.
And, from my experience, they are not only happy to admit it, they are rather inclined to talk about it. A lot.
If I was a 30-something male, not looking to settle down or breed, I could see how such women might not be terribly appealing.
I can also see how you might circumvent the problem by dating older women, who perhaps have given up on the idea of motherhood. Or who have already raised a family.
But is it actually a trend? Or merely an urban myth?
Over to you readers . . . thoughts?
PS: I realise today's entry is somewhat brief, but I am currently en route to Wellington for a journalism workshop. Apologies if you find it wanting, I promise to return to full form tomorrow.
