As the saying goes, "Better marry an old man than a little monkey". What does that mean? Who is the little monkey talking about?

In today's era of free love, people's traditional views on marriage and love are constantly challenged, and brother-sister love, old-age love and homosexuality are no longer so unacceptable. However, talking about marriage is, after all, a major event in life and must not be sloppy. In the older generation, there is a saying that "it is better to marry a little monkey than an old man". So what is the rich connotation of this sentence? What does "little monkey" mean? Today, I will answer this question for you.

In fact, many people feel uncomfortable when they see the word "old man", and the picture that comes with it may be an elderly and stuffy old man. Actually, it is not. Our "old man" only refers to a boy older than a girl, or a handsome uncle. The "little monkey" of course refers to the younger brother, not the girl.

Then why marry an "old man" instead of a "little monkey"? Because generally speaking, boys older than girls will be more mature and stable, know how to take care of girls and let girls enjoy the feeling of being loved. An older but more experienced boy may lack a romantic feeling of boys and girls, but after years of baptism and precipitation, he will be more practical, thus giving girls more sense of security. The youthful "little monkey" may be more energetic and passionate, and can talk about a sweet love with girls, but when it comes to marriage, in the eyes of the older generation, "little monkey" is not the only thrill. Because marriage is daily necessities, not an affair. On the other hand, women's psychological age is more mature than that of men of the same age, which leads to more girls taking care of boys in their sister-in-law's love. In the long run, women will be more tired in marriage.

Of course, "Better marry an old man than a little monkey" is just a proverb handed down from the older generation. After all, carrots and vegetables have their own tastes. Ladies and gentlemen, you should pay attention to your mind when choosing a spouse. Age is not everything. There are many "excellent little monkeys" in the new era, and "old people" may also be "lonely old people". what do you think?
