An analysis of the age-related content of "Personals" ads placed by heterosexual and homosexual women was undertaken to test hypotheses derived from theoretical notions about differences and similarities between lesbian and nonlesbian aging. No support was found for a hypothesized overrepresentation of older advertisers of either sexual orientation. Contrary to popular notions, lesbians were not found to be seeking young partners. However, age differences between groups did indicate support for "accelerated aging" among heterosexual women. Possible advantages of lesbian over nonlesbian women in their experience of aging are presented.
对异性恋和同性恋女性刊登的“征友”广告中与年龄相关的内容进行了分析，以检验从关于女同性恋者和非女同性恋者衰老的差异与相似性的理论概念中得出的假设。未发现有证据支持关于任何一种性取向的老年广告者比例过高的假设。与普遍观念相反，并未发现女同性恋者在寻找年轻伴侣。然而，不同群体之间的年龄差异确实表明支持异性恋女性中存在“加速衰老”的观点。文中还阐述了女同性恋女性相较于非女同性恋女性在衰老经历方面可能存在的优势。
