Shouldn't women be allowed to date whoever they like, including younger men?
Absolutely. While it is definitely the right thing to do from the standpoint of treating them equally but on an even more fundamental note, it is something that has to be done for the sake of the society. Several studies have confirmed that children raised in a
single-parent family do not do as well as those in stable families. Marriage is also an excellent institution for ensuring
financial and emotional stability.

I now see three major three major trends in the sphere of relationships that will have significant long-term
impact on American society:
- Gay marriage has increasingly higher level of its acceptance among young people
- Women taking greater control of their marital destiny
and that is why eHarmony has more women than men in its
database
- Women dating men much younger than them
We have received dozens of communications from
mature
women who have found
fulfilling relationships with younger men. What came as a pleasant surprise to us
was that, in almost all cases, these women were pursued by younger men. As Judy in Ohio puts it, "It sort of just happened…but why does it have to matter if you get along?"

No it does not have to. In fact we are asking men not to look at only women of their age or younger for dating. So if you are a man wondering why you haven't found a relationship yet, then
open your eyes and look at all the wonderful women out there who just happen to be a be better at certain things than you and there is something that you could end up learning from them.

If you are a single woman, don't just look at
men older than you. Keep your options open. Approach men that you like regardless of their age.
What about all those conservative thinkers who think this is unacceptable? Times have changed, so just shut up. Let people
find a relationship and enjoy themselves. Life is too short to get bogged down with numbers.
