It's not that bad, however, the thing with the south is that you could just happen to be standing somewhere and a bomb will go off. If you're just doing a border crossing, that should be no problem. If you're alone, I wouldn't hang out there for ... Read More
is it acceptable for a woman to have younger partner than her? by charryC
Surely, age doesn't matter =) But how come it seems to be more acceptable for a woman to have a 10 years older partner than her having a 10 years younger fella? ..is this just a classic example of stereotyping? that it is okay for a man to have a ...
For me, it's a yes. I think for other people it just happens to be a big deal because they're afraid of what other people would think. As for me as long as we're both compatible and we both like or love each other then I wouldn't care. :) Read More
