That's the funniest thing I've seen on Lemmy today. Cheers.

So it wasn't actually that much higher back in the day. I have a feeling there were more outliers, though.
-
Keep in mind that the average being twice as high indicates a much higher number of severe age gap marriages than there are now.
This is another "average age of 30" stat where the average somewhat lies about the situation.

Yeah, that's what I said. Or at least, tried to.

Isn't there a way to cut out outliers methodically to get a better picture of the majority? It's been a long time since I took statistics. I also think these numbers would change if you broke them down to regional or religion or other demographics. A single number for everyone doesn't tell the whole story.

My wife and I are 3 years apart. One of the things she liked when we were dating was that we had the same cultural references from childhood. She had dated men 10 years her senior and didn't like it for that reason.
At 26 I was hanging out with friends and this one girl was a cutie (who was clearly in her mid-twenties) that I was casually flirting with. Then she said "I gotta go, my dad's picking me up" and I'm like "Wait you don't drive?" and she's like "Dad doesn't want me to drive till I'm 18" and. I. Was. Mortified. I felt like a complete pedophile. God damned Latinas.
The point is, dating outside (x/2)+7 is unacceptable, but even over 40 a 10 year age gap is weird
-
Casual racism thrown in there.

Wake me up when it's 2060 😳
