Does the Older Man/Younger Woman Relationship Actually Work?

One of the reasons why in many cultures they insisted for the woman to be younger than the man. Of course, it only works in a culture where age was a factor of respect : people older than you assume a sort of authority over you. That's why in many cultures in Asia or Africa, women used to call their man a name equivalent to big brother.
Cats today treat their women like their best friend, which implies a total egalitarian relation. A big mistake
I think an age gap of 10 years or more is probably not the best idea

My man is about to be 21, im going to be 30.. even though hes younger, we have and understanding of the roles each of us are supposed to be playing. hes still the “elder” im in subjection to in terms of how i treat him
and its because he asserted it in the beginning.. he wasnt on no “we equals” bullshyt. i submit to him but that doesnt mean he walks all over me.. he submits in his life and our relationship, as well, but in a different way.
its hard at times, im not going to lie. i wont sit here and lie and say its easy to submit cause its not because how my mother is and things i learned from her, my ego and getting in my feelings but its fullfilling
its still presesent in many cultures mostly ones that have some spirituality or still believe in traditional roles that are rooted biblically.. Sarah was calling her husband, Abraham ‘Lord’ out of respect to show her reverence to him.

Knowing what I know about women, if I were a guy I'd probably avoid women 8+ years younger.
Spill the beans. What do you know?

It's always been like that and has worked in the past. I'm talking about women 20+ and older men, not a teenage girl. Look throughout history. A lot of women mature faster than men and tend to date/marry older men.
I know a couple who the woman was 26 when she got married to her husband who was 36 at the time. They've been married for about 8 years and got two children together. They both have good careers and doing well for themselves.

Within 10 years, yes in most cases. More than that it's iffy.
It’s actually common outside of the west and it was common here back in the day. I’m 32 and my last serious woman is 23. There’s nothing “weird” about either one of us.
You’re right as far as western women go. They’re pushed into thinking that traditional roles are oppressive and or lame but it’s completely different in a lot of other cultures. I know a Cameroonian woman who’s 25 and her whole family is freaking out because she’s still not married but a 25 y/o chick playing the field with no plans of stopping is the norm here.
I’m not saying there’s something wrong with American women moving like that, but I am saying that if a regular successful “square” type wants a traditional family he should move and more and more of them are moving.

No idea how you're doing it...my man is 4 years younger and while being mature for his age...I can't view him as an "elder"
