For the forum people, I would like to apologize if you feel it as off-topic discussion. But I felt compelled to do the same. If this does not apply to forum rules, I can PM it. Do let me know.
That's OK ... a moderator has already offered to take this to discussion mansion (or something), so this is not going to be inflicted upon the KB forum participants ...
Hormonal influence plays a major role in normal sexual activity.
So?! What does that have to do with 'aging'?! And you may be interested to know that sexual activity continues well past menopause!! There is no correlation between the two.
Pubertal timing is also sexually dimorphic, with girls experiencing puberty on average 2 years earlier than boys.
A 2 year age difference is not even interesting much less statistically meaningful!
A working woman prioritizes her life following childbirth. The tendency to lose interest in sexual activity following childbirth and the busy schedule of her job is common at whatever age the woman belongs to.
Really?! Which peer-reviewed journal did you extract this 'factoid' from? Let me assure that there is a lot of garbage on the internet, so please do not use that as your primary source of information. Sexual activity is temporarily suspended (or reduced) during the period that women nurse their young. If you were to be heard announcing this publicly in this part of the world, you'd be, at a minimum, laughed out of the building.
In case of women who are approaching 40, there is variation in the physical appearance as well with the possibility of putting on weight.
Hmmm ... you do understand that 'possibility' does not translate to a probability of 1. And if I read between your lines, there appears to lurk the notion that added weight makes a woman physically unattractive ... we, some of us on this forum, take great objection to that and find it singularly repugnant.
A woman does not match the smartness which will still be evident even if her partner is of the same age as her.
Smartness?!! What does that mean?!! 'Evident' to whose 'eyes'?! I'll bet my bottom dollar that there are any number of people who you would consider 'smart' and I would find repulsive!
The problems faced by men who do not find their partners attractive anymore are common. And then the issues of infidelity usually arise. When such problems are arising, the family is shattered. So the woman has to take that extra effort to keep her healthy and fit to match her husband even by looks. Men whether they agree or no would not be happy with an unattractive partner. Based on these facts, it was preferred that women are a few years younger to their husbands.
I have to commend you for your flippancy and aplomb ... have you researched this area on your own and established these 'facts' or are you just pulling them out of the air (as I suspect)? Your 'dissertation' is so peppered with falsehoods that I should exercise the good sense to cease any further engagement on this topic ... you are waaaay out of your depth ... a few references to the work by US based medical organizations does not translate to your ideas being factually correct ...
This idea was conceived in olden days. Whether the norm started as early as 10th century in India, I am not able to give the Christian era.
The term 10th century is of western origin - it means approx. 1000 years after the death of 'Christ' (who I think is a principle in Christianity), so I have no clue what you mean by 'I do not know which Christian era' ('era' is a term used in science to describe periods of time in the evolution of life on this planet ... ever heard of Paleozoic, Cenozoic?) ... you did notice how you began a sentence with 'whether' which signifies ambivalence ... you did not end the sentence in a semantically correct manner however ...
This choice was also made by the so called elderly people way back based on observing the birth of abnormal children to older woman.
Oh, is that so?! I see that you haven't been able to dig up references from where this gem was unearthed (I suggest it was from the deep recesses of your febrile mind) ... but this is an excellent example of the kind of hand-waving generalization that is the hallmark of many an Indian who revels in living in an apotheosised past - one that never existed ...
In those olden days in India, whenever people noticed such abnormal children being born to older women, the practicality of having few healthy offspring by the menopausal time was of prime concern.
Oh now this is getting to be a true-blue, comedy act ... darling, in those 'olden times', most women were dead before they reached 'menopause' ... that's why we speak of life expectancies!
The primeval society (not so literate)
Please cease and desist from using words you don't understand ... your concepts are not even half-baked, or hopelessly muddled ... they're downright scary ... for you I recommend that same regimen of intense reading as the best medicine ... do consider taking that spoonful of sugar to help it go down ....
End of discussion!
