Also: The people don't change. The pool of people your age that you could meet doesn't change, it only gets smaller.

I see "your age" similar to the dating pool. It grows the older you get. When I was young my brother and his friends were incredibly old. But nowadays they are "my age". I mean, my wife was literally born four days after my brother. That alone increased "my age".

And when I look at the other parents I meet at my kid's schools "my age" is an even bigger group. Add hobbies to that and it's off the chart.

Oh yeah that's true as well. Like it's more accepted when a 60 year old dates a 50 year old than when a 30 year old dates a 20 year old. It's the same gap, but more frequently seen. That's the thing with cumulative numbers!! The more they go up the smaller the ll% difference in
