Equal Age Disparity

It has a lot to do with money, although other cultural factors, especially polygamy, will skew it. It's almost a crisis in polygamous cultures, because older men tend to have all the money while younger men are still trying to finish education or are only in starting jobs or just plain haven't inherited daddy's fortune yet. As a book on the subject I read put it, "Throughout most of history, it was better for a woman to be lonely and ignored as a fourth wife of a rich old man than to watch her child starve to death as the only wife of a poor young man." The result is a bunch of horny young men and no available women except prostitutes, and prostitution is more common in such cultures. Things are rather different in cultures where women can work, although they also tend to marry later, so the single young men to women ratio is more even, even if marriage rates at that age aren't high.

@Nekosempei It's supposedly a modern American statistic, but all the actual studies I could find in my five minutes of googling seemed to say that both men and women preferred dating younger with no external factors (money). I'm sure money plays a big part in the stigma though lol

@Scionwoods Im pretty sure thats a cultural thing anyway, and in three thousand years, that mighta changed.

any chance of a backport of this? i use 1.4 due to 1.5 having a broken version of HAR.

@nobleXenon I'm not sure what you're looking at but this mod changes the code in Pawn_RelationsTracker.LovinAgeFactor, which despite its name is also used to determine romance chance in addition to lovin' chance.

I'm looking at the wiki, and while it's not perfect, it still doesn't mention the age disparity. Is there a reason there's an age. At most it's attached to lovin' from what I can see, but it seems to punish the male being older.

bro coded in patriarchy before optimizing his damn game
at least now there's only a badly optimized game
