Reading 11

I thought this article was pretty interesting to read because I have never seen this issue in a published article besides Hugh Heffner’s fiancés in the tabloids. I can appreciate that larger age gap relationships have been growing more and more popular, but the way this author with the creepy profile picture depicted her own relationship turned me off. Regardless, I agree with her main claim that age is really just a number. Especially her quote at the end of the article where is said that people are just older and younger. I thought that was interesting point that definitely made sense to me. I remember in high school, if a freshman started dating a senior, it was the talk of the town. But when I came to college I saw a major difference. People didn’t care as much about what others were doing or whom they were dating and were more concentrated on their own life and goals. High school was a secluded and sheltered environment where your personal life was less then personal. But when you venture on to a different chapter in your life, people are more concerned with accomplishing their goals they have set to fulfill what they want to do for the rest of their lives and who someone in your graduating class dates, no matter what age, is of little importance. I think age gaps will always be spoken about, but will become gradually less and less exciting.
