How we think about dating in our teens and 20's is a lot different than in our 30's and 40's. Different age group-different "love" mindset, says relationship coach and podcast host, who goes by the name G-Fem, who's observed a pattern in relationship views: "Age 18 through 23, this first category is less concerned about serious relationship or dating a serious individual." G-Fem says this group is about having fun and isn't thinking long term relationships.

对恋爱的看法,十几岁二十来岁与三四十岁大不相同。年龄段不同,恋爱心态也不同,一位自称G-Fem的感情专家和播客主持人如是说。这位专家发现恋爱有规律可循:“18-23岁的人群在恋爱或是约会中并不太在意对方是否认真。”G-Fem说,这群人谈恋爱图的就是个开心,并不考虑关系是否会长久。

The mindset seems to change towards your late 20's: "27 to 31, they have gone through some bad relationships. They are wiser, learned a little about the other sex and can easily describe who their ideal partner should be.

25岁之后心态似乎会有所改变:“27-31岁的人群基本都有过失败的恋情,所以会更明智,对异性的了解也会更多,甚至可以轻松地描述出理想伴侣需要符合的条件。”

In other words, they're thinking more about the long-term: "31 to 35, they are avid lovers of everything about relationships (books, seminars, movies, radio / TV programs). They know who they want and who they don't want."

换句话说,他们更在意长久的恋情:“31-35岁的人群则会在意恋爱中的每个细节(看什么书,参加什么讨论,看什么电影,收看什么节目等等等等)他们非常清楚自己想要什么样的不想要什么样的人。”

By 40, it's all about marriage and finally settling down, if they haven't yet.

到了40岁,如果还没定下来,那此时看的就只是是否适合结婚、适合安定了。
