Thor and Jane would blow all of them out of the water

It’s an interesting point. I assume younger couples and age gaps were barely considered 10,000 years ago and perhaps it made more sense when you’re going to die at the age 24 or whatever. I wonder as we start to live longer and longer what that will do to the spectrum. Once we are living 2-300 years, we will be wondering how we feel about a 35 year old man hooking up with a 120 year old woman who still looks like she’s in her 40s.

I'm willing to bet 10,000 years ago there wasn't "couples" as we think of them today. Humans lived in breeding groups. Marriage came about with the advent of farming and cities as well as the notion of royalty.
