And it's not actually what we're doing.

We're actually doing exactly what you described.

I don't know for sure, but I really hope that the average 21-year-old today hears what you just described and says, yes, that is what I'm doing and what we're trying to do out here.

It's like light matchmaking that we do for our friends and acquaintances.

It's a wonderful thing.

Okay.

It is absolutely true that on average, if you look at couples, the man is older than the woman.

I actually think this is one of the enduring mysteries that we only half understand because

Because we look at that average age difference, and it's in every country in the world where we've measured it.

It varies.

It can be like two years over here and seven years over here.

But you always see that average difference.

Now, there have been some studies, initial impression studies, where you look at, okay, but what are people attracted to?

Who are we drawn to?

And again, I come from like a speed dating tradition, but we've also got like blind dates where we've looked at this.

And you can look to see, okay, so are people more popular?

Do they seem more dateable when they're younger?

And indeed, when men are evaluating women, yeah, they like the women more to the extent that they're younger.

It's actually not a huge effect, which is, I think, probably good on average.

Yeah, all right.
