America isn't creepy about age. American WOMEN have become creepy about age, and in turn have shamed men into the same. Convinced them that it's somehow immoral to seek out women more than a couple of years younger than him. My dad was 26 and my mom was 19 when they married, but that was around 1960 or so. It wasn't uncommon at that time for a girl to marry right out of high school to a man that was in his 20s. Bitches would want you arrested for that now.
