Age and social status: how do they influence love stories?

The gender differences are still a topic should still be discussed and on which a lot should still be done.


The gender differences are still a topic should still be discussed and on which a lot should still be done. Compared to a few decades ago, however, the condition of women has changed deeply. Today there are not few women who reach important goals at work (always few compared to the number of male successes), they are economically and socially independent and choose (more or less) freely not to get married and/or not to have children. And men? They are learning to live together and love women completely different from stereotypes common to entire generations. Are they able to make their relationships evolve too?

Unlike what happened until some time ago when the success of a relationship was based on economic and social stability, on the age difference (where man was often greater than the woman) and on the division of tasks, many relationships today are based on compatibility, shared interests and emotional connections.

A study published in 2022 on European Journal of Population He highlighted that people who have a vision of society without stereotypes on gender differences undertake more frequent relationships with partners who have ages or social status very different from them. They choose, for example, much younger or much larger people. And often the youngest of the two is not the woman.

From a psychological point of view, women who frequent younger men have more serene and satisfactory relational lives. The younger men, on the other hand, tend to be more open to experimentation, even sexual, and this can lead to a more satisfying life life for both. A study from 2019 has shown, in fact, that women who feel safe and satisfied with expressing their desires is likely to be generally happier and available towards their partner and in relationships in general.

Research has also shown that women engaged with younger men feel enterprising in sex and in expressing their desires, promoting profound and satisfying relationships that have as their non -secondary effect to rejuvenate. The vitality and desire for adventure of the youngest companion are an injection of pure energy in couple life, even if the age difference challenges the most classic social conventions.

The relationships, which are between peers or between very different age partners, must always face important challenges, such as self -awareness, the fear that the relationship does not work and hypersensitivity towards the ideas of others on how socially acceptable the relationship. But various research has shown that today, the factors that contribute to the success and longevity of relationships are trust, communication, shared values and mutual respect.

Whatever age or social status, each relationship is unique and there is no magic formula for success.
