Women ask me all the time about what they're supposed to do about the men out there who say they only want younger women in their profiles. 女伴们常常问我,那些寻求交友对象的男性往往在自己的交友信息里注明,自己只接受年龄较小的女孩,这该怎么办呢? I remember seeing it too but I never let it stop me from favoring a man and it shouldn't stop you either. 我记得自己也遇到过这种情况,不过它从不曾阻止我对一个男人倾心。同样它也不应该阻止你。 But the question has always intrigued me so I did a little research to find out more about why this is happening and whether or not it's true. 不过这个问题常常引起我的思考,我做了一番探究,想看看这一现象发生的原因是什么,是否真的存在这种情况。 I started with an old boyfriend of mine who is 11 years older than me. 先从这个说起,我曾有一个比我大11岁的男友。 He told me it was an ego thing. He felt like women who were younger would make him feel more youthful and keep him active. 他告诉我这是一种本我作怪的结果。他觉得年轻的女孩会让自己感到更年轻,让自己保持活力。 He and I were from completely different generations. Some of our values and views of life were different and that created conflict, which ultimately ended our love relationship. |
