I got asked these questions:-
Q1) Would you marry a man who is 20 yrs older than you?
A1) No.
Q2) Would you marry a man who is 20 yrs older than you…if he’s good looking at that age?
A2) No.
Q3) Why?
A3) If he’s 20 yrs older than me, he would be financially established, I assume. Hence, I would be similar to a tag-along because he would have most things that I aim to have in 20 yrs time. Also, if he’s 20 yrs older than me, whatever stage I am, I would always be catching up with him unless he’s 100 and I’m 80. More like, he would be in a stage where he’s retired while I am still trying to make it big somewhere. And if he’s 20 yrs older than me, the possibility of him dying earlier than me is much higher, so if he does go, then I would only have so much time with him.
Q4) Would you date a guy who’s younger than you?
A4) Depends.
Q5) What is the tolerated age range? 5 yrs?
A5) 1-2 yrs younger…no more.
Q6) Why?
A6) Put into context, if I were 26, the guy would be 21…I would actually be dating a guy who just turned legal in other words, a Siao Di Di. 1-2 yrs older or younger guys would be pretty much in the same phase as me in most areas of life and that would give us more things that we could have in common, at least we couldn’t throw out the “you don’t understand” card as often as we could. Probably, our aims would be similar and we are building up towards something not waiting for one to catch up or slow down dramatically.
Q7) Would you date a guy who’s shorter than you?
A7) Not really cos I love wearing heels and to me the shoulder factor is important. Shoulder factor = leaning on his shoulder whenever I feel like it.
But someone pointed out that, when you are really in love with the person, anything could happen…and I don’t think I could fathom unless I am in that position. Which is true.
So all the answers I give are hypothetical.
