Female preferences for male attractiveness
Male preferences for female attractiveness
Problematic differences?
My attempt at reason and objectivity in Christ.
In this realm, biblically, God made males to typically and generally be able to safely procreate throughout their lives. This is so with limited negatives associated with ageing and reproduction. Unlike females, menopause is not a certain scientific fact. (Menopause 516)(Ovulation 591). Men too advanced in age to father a family in various contexts, disqualified.
Reasonably and within common sense, then at least some younger women of childbearing age, may be potentially attracted to older men in a romantic context. This made more apparent in non-Western contexts, such as Eastern European, Asian and Latin American where it is more socially acceptable.
Within the context of potential mutual spiritual, intellectual and romantic attraction; from a Christian, biblical perspective, potentially uncomfortable premises need to be reconsidered in prayer, as an aspect of seeking God's perfect will. This opposed to assumed premises which therefore, may risk being sanctioned only within God's permissible will.
This in the context of males considering women closer to their own biological age. This in the context of younger women considering significantly older men. Besides, there are numerous other considerations within spiritual, intellectual; and romantic attraction other than simply age and yet the secular article I quoted begins with the age issue of course...
Philosophically, significant age difference being defined out of romantic possibility, in every situation, reminds me of how in much of the secular Western world, theism and God is defined out of possibility.
Neither approach serves either the truth or love.
