Good Lifestyle

In the past, love followed a route, almost codified. The man had to be older, more posed, more protective - a pillar. The woman was expected younger, softer, more discreet - a reassuring but erased presence. The roles were clear, the couple tidy in a box with rigid contours. But times have changed. Today, many women choose to get out of this frozen frame to take more free paths, more faithful to their deep desires. They assert themselves, take the lead, redefine their way of loving. And sometimes these paths lead them to unexpected relationships - especially with younger men. Not by provocation, but because they find there an energy, complicity or listening that suits them. These choices still disturb some, but they are above all the sign of a society that evolves, and a love which, finally, allows itself all forms.
