What's up with senior dating? |

As a species, we defy many natural laws that existed before we arose to technological supremacy in the animal kingdom. We are able to have surplus in our food, eat whatever we want, burn fat without exercise and even create relationships for other purposes than just procreation.
And that's where senior dating comes along.
Senior dating is one of those things that, at first, we think of as taboo in some way. That, somehow, senior dating is weird or strange - it shouldn't happen. There's some form of expected consistency we see in seniors. We imagine our grandparents just being together forever until they pass away, and not engaging in the dating and mate finding that we engage in as young adults.
But senior dating is just as normal as anything else, given our species. We live longer now, and with medical advances people are healthier even into old age and can enjoy the same pleasures in life that younger adults do. And besides, financially seniors are more well off and have the disposable time and money to enjoy life - why not make the most of it? |
