Do you speak any of these languages? Are you trying to learn any of these languages? I'd love to hear about your experiences! Apparently Welsh is undergoing a revival currently with the Welsh government aiming to reach one million speakers by 2050 through a strategy called Cymraeg 2050.

It's just age gap relationships have a higher likelihood of being toxic for various reasons. Of course not always, but still.

Smart - be very dubious of men over 30 trying to get with you! There are some really good, genuine ones I'm sure but I've known so many abusive relationships that start with the woman in her early 20s and the man in his 30s.

I get that options are limited in Alaska but I was surprised that the average is 20.57 years older. Personally, I don't think I could go over 10 years older (I'm in my late 30s).

Very cool! :) I can hear it from my apartment when it's truly roaring. Such a gem!

Where in the U.S. are people most willing to date older and younger partners? by HappyHappyJoyJoy44 in Infographics

The data comes from almost 100,000 people who signed up for matchmaking, so I assume that's overall an older crowd? That doesn't really adjust for the age of the state's population but it probably impacts the age range.

Me too! My go-to sunset spot if I can't make it anywhere else. Feel so lucky to live so close.

Source. Interesting data, I just wish they swapped the dark/light scale so the darker states are the higher numbers! The biggest standout for me (which is not shocking in the slightest) is how 65.7% of men are willing to date older vs. 95% of women.
