5. There's also the "age thing"

You'll see actors 25-30+ years older than their romantic partners.

I watch a lot of old movies on TCM and it reminds me, sadly, how there used to be parts -- leading roles - for actresses of all ages and sizes. Used to be movies that had multiple women in the leading roles. Of course, those were also the days when the best writers were recruited for scripts. Now that we've got 22 year old guys writing movie scripts for a fourteen year old male audience, women characters are mere background accessories or wet dream fantasies for the perpetually pubescent.
