This is one equation that has always baffled the race that took
domination after the dinosaurs died. When you flip through entertainment
news channels, you come across many couples who have a good number of
years between their birth years. A couple of famous examples would be
Katie Holmes-Tom Cruise and Demi Moore-Ashton Kutcher. These couples are
known in the celebrity gossip circles. They are also known as couples
who have a yawning age gap. There is no strain on their relationship
because of the age gap, but readers of celeb gossip columns sometimes
wonder aloud why a man falls for a woman much younger in age and vice
versa. The answer, though not definite, is out there somewhere. Let's
look at some possibilities.
A younger person is generally happier.
This appeals to the older partner. Entertainment news columns are awash
with such stories. A younger person feels excited about life, sees the
positive aspect of things and is more forthcoming about hope in the
future. The older generation, which tends to be cynical about things,
takes a liking to this attitude. They feel drawn more by the vitality
and life force in the person than the personality of the person. It's
like living life anew through someone. Of course, the older man who
dates a girl much younger to him finds himself at the receiving end of
extensive celeb gossip coverage. But some things in life are worth, they
are heard saying!
Younger people make you feel smarter. Ask any
celebrity who features on entertainment sites on a regular basis and you
will know that the older partner feels more responsible, more
protective and more involved when dating a young partner. There is
always this factor of having things to teach your partner. Because the
older person is more experience in the ways of life, he or she is in a
more capable position of handling the relationship with maturity and
concern. The limelight shed by celebrity gossip sites and portals are
something to deal with as well. Keeping a balance in the relationship,
despite the continued media glare, is one such issue.
Then there
are those entertainment news junkies who date a celebrity just to get in
the celebrity gossip circles. They have no intention of taking the
relationship to a more serious level. They are casual about life and
take things as they come. In that case, it becomes easier to connect
with a younger celebrity because he or she is not accustomed to the
machinations of these media whores. The younger succumbs to the charms
of the older. But such relationships are not stable. Before long you
will come across break-up alerts on the celeb gossip sites, ringing the
death knell of the relationship. But all is not bad and bleak. There are
some who fall for the innocent charms that the young have embedded on
their faces. There is no greater lure than an innocent face and a sharp
mind! It's all about chemistry and some May-December couples have oodles
of that!
