9 Surprising Reasons Why Age-Gap Relationships Work
4. It’s a learning opportunity, and they can teach each other things
Maybe someone from an older generation has a fix-it mentality and knows how to deal with issues like a broken-down car or household repairs. Perhaps someone from a younger mentality is a computer genius who can educate their partner on coding. Being from different generations can have its benefits. They say opposites attract, and the same can be true for people from differing age gaps.
5. Older people can understand intimacy better
While someone from the outside might look in and judge a younger person for choosing someone who looks visibly older, aging comes with an unexpectedly sexy benefit: being well-versed in intimacy and having generally more experience in the bedroom. The result? Despite what the haters think, the couple is extremely satisfied.
6. It leads to a more diverse group of friends
While people tend to spend time with others who are the same age, merging friend groups of different ages can lead to diverse perspectives, unexpected intergenerational connections, and a broader social circle. The more the merrier, and uniting communities that wouldn’t have connected otherwise can be a beautiful thing that leads to personal growth all around.
