STEREOTYPING

          ‘Marrying money’ is a common stereotyping that being exaggerated nowadays. As can be seen today, young woman tend to choose older man as their spouse. ‘Older man’ that means here is a man between the ages of 40-60. If based on movies or drama especially Malay, most of story line is same. It portrays that young woman marrying an older man only because of money. Through this kind of story line, it makes people stereotype towards this phenomena as they believe that young woman is a gold digger but in reality just some of them. This bad perception should be change.

          Not all of young woman marrying old man because of money but because of their maturity itself. Research stated that old man is more matured and their ability to handle marriage is more higher compared to young man. This is because old man had live longer and they had gain a lot of experience in their life. With those experiences, they got some lessons and try to make sure their life will be much better. Young woman will feel secure with reliable man because they believe that marriage is not for a temporary time but for their whole time of life. Other than maturity, marriage is all about love. Love is the most important thing in a marriage. Hence, don’t stereotyping them as they have their own reasons why they choose to get married with people who are totally different age with them as stereotyping just can kill people.
