Age Barriers in Romance

Being attractive can get you more of what you want regardless of of what it is. Beauty is not an entirely superficial thing. Being attractive certainly shows that you at least care about yourself, and not in a selfish way. Yes, people can sometimes be too selfish and display an overwrought amount of narcissism, but the majority of people who do try to make themselves look better are not the people who stop at every reflective surface and say, "damn, I'm hot."

Even if you're old and beautiful, age can still throw off a lot of people. Hell, I've had trouble dating men five years older than me. I can't imagine that a 20-year old and a 30-year old would have a lot in common. I think experience absolutely plays a huge role in determining compatibility. The larger the age difference, the less common experience you're going to have. How can a relationship like that work?

Jam it back in, in the dark.
