Today's poll is actually about sex; it was suggested by a question last week. This requires your honesty. Answer the way you really feel, not the way you think you are supposed to feel.

1. You are introduced to a couple. He is 50-55. She is about 25. They are living together. Absent more information, and allowing for a change of mind later on, your initial thinking would be:
I'd kind of admire the man.
I'd kind of admire the woman.
I'd kind of admire them both
I'd make no judgments at all about them.
I'd be inclined not to like and/or respect the woman.
I'd be inclined not to like and/or respect the man.
I'd be inclined not to like and/or respect them both.

2. Same situation as above, only the sexes are reversed: The woman is 50-55, the man is 25.
I'd kind of admire the man.
I'd kind of admire the woman.
I'd kind of admire them both.
I'd make no judgments at all about them, really.
I'd be inclined not to like and/or respect the woman.
I'd be inclined not to like and/or respect the man.
I'd be inclined not to like and/or respect them both.

I really wouldn't make any assumptions about it.
I would assume that, mostly, the man is taking advantage of the woman.
I would assume that, mostly, the woman is taking advantage of the man.
I would assume that they are using each other, and that this is likely not a deep or sustainable relationship.

4. Regarding Question 2, which best summarizes your initial assumptions about this relationship:
I really wouldn't make any assumptions about it.
I would assume that, mostly, the man is taking advantage of the woman.
I would assume that, mostly, the woman is taking advantage of the man.
I would assume that they are using each other, and that this is likely not a deep or sustainable relationship.
