'Marrying Money' is the young woman, older man..

There’s no longer a gap between the older and younger as for them age is only a number and doesn't resembles anything.  Money is not the main reason on why they choose to marry old man.  People often make an assumption that younger woman who marries older man is a gold digger, and the older man is a pervert. Well, such perception can be right or wrong, depends on individuals intention. That’s what we call stereotyping.

From my view, why younger woman tend to choose older man as their companion is that, older man is more matured.  Older man is more experienced in life, relationship and career that make them looks mature and responsible. Woman loves someone who can understand them, listen to their problems and lend their shoulder to cry on and only older man seems to understand them much. Some younger man, coeval with the woman, doesn’t really care about what their partner really want because they are too young to value the relationship thus it will lead to an argument and a broken relationship.

However, people often being a stereotype when dealing with something that is out from their norms. People will make a hasty generalization based on what they saw and believed, thus it will lead to prejudice. “Prejudice refers to an unfavorable predisposition about an individual because of his or her membership in a stereotyped group.” (Pearson et. al, 2013). For instance, we can relate with this situation where people often judge young woman who made a relationship with the older man just for the sake of money.

In my opinion, it is fine if someone tend to choose an older partner. Not all younger women married an older man because of money. Let the people who generalized to continue doing so as every people have their own stereotyping. It is difficult for people to avoid making generalization towards others because each person has their own perception towards something.

So from what I can conclude is that, marrying an older man cannot be classified as marrying money as money is not the only reason on why a younger woman chooses an older man. Don’t simply judge them as they also have rights to do what they want. We can’t force them to follow our stand just because it is out of our norms.
