Power imbalances are only common in unhealthy pairings....Most of these power imbalances you can screen for before you get too involved....I don't get into r'ship with s.o. who likes me a lot less than I like them, or vice versa..... and you're least likely to have a power imbalance there if your close in age... Period.
Ha! Imbalances can be imperceptible, at least initially. Or they may not exist early on but nevertheless slowly develop over time, even in seemingly innocuous ways. Humans are too flawed and too varied to expect otherwise. Whenever humans get involved in anything, it's a given that something is going to go wrong, somewhere.
I think there's different kinds of 'attraction'. There's the physical attraction, and I think like Sonic was referring to, it's not even the most important element to a happy successful relationship.
Lately, it's been hitting home to me, that I have a physical 'type'. I have since basically 7th grade. I've always done a mental "oh yeah" when I see an attractive skinny body type. My first husband fit that description. But, it's definitely not the only 'kind' of attraction, and I'm of the belief it's not the most important.

It sounds like you been surrounded by bad relationships.... I'm lucky to have parents, grandparents & others in my family with long & happy marriages ...I hope one day to be married as happily as my parents are
Aside from the fact that they are practically the same age as my kid, I can't help think that sexually speaking, I would break them like little twigs and their minds esplode. If they could keep up. A real man is a real gem.
I am not saying that they aren't good looking, but my son is 24 and dating someone close to his age would be just weird to me. There is something sexy about a 40+ year old man. Totally agree with you on the Real Man = Real Gem!

It's more an awareness of human nature itself. Many relationships may, in fact, be great and long-lasting, but they may still have some dysfunctional elements. I think virtually all relationships have issues or problems, which makes sense because all humans have issues and problems.
Something I am genuinely curious about as I've seen all the "studies" that men of all ages prefer women in their early 20s. Is this true?
Like as a man, interested in marriage and kids someday, if you are on a dating app, are you most often interested in the younger women?
Put another way, there are two women ages 33 and 23 and equally attractive -- does the age play a factor in terms of who you pursue?
