In the ST universe humans live longer so probably age slower and men keep their libidoes a bit longer. Defining a human male in the ST universe by 21st century real life standards won't work. Chuckles did not need viagra, for another 50 years or so. Star Trek DS9 relanch novels there is a 100 plus year old human Commander with a daughter in her 20's
And some of them marry their first cousins.... a lot
I hated that so much hahaha
I wonder if the writers believe romance will put off their target audience or something. I find it sad that the TOS characters apart from Sulu in Generations ended still following Kirk around with no love life whatsoever or even a hint of one. Kinda pathetic. Real life people in semi-military organisations get married and have kids probably in large numbersExactly.
That's why, I ended to think that producers/writers of Star Trek are really bad for writing love stories. Indeed, except Paris/Torres and Riker/Troi, all others seem to have failed, whatever the series: TNG (Picard/Crusher), DS9 (Odo/Kira, Jadzia/Wolf), Voyager (Kes/Neelix, Chakotay/Seven's relationship, which has all the chances to be short-lived), Entreprise (Tucker/T'Pol and Archer is still single after 4 seasons).
Whatever the love stories proposed in ST: Discovery, I hope that it will be better written and that they will have a chance to survive beyond the end of the series like in the end of fairy tales : "and they lived happy 'till the end of their lives and had many children"!
initially he thought he was in love with her, he flirted with her, it resulted in a food fight. After that he didn't really persue her because, in my head-canon he was falling in love with B'Elanna
that's what it looked like to me. After she died kes probably tried to comfort him and one thing led to another.
I'm sure that was a factor, he accepted that they were involved and moved on
Exactly.

His sense of fashion is 30 years out of date, like most 50 year olds.
Her sense of fashion should be 20 years out of date because of her vacation inside the collective, but she also spent half her childhood in a shuttle with her fashion retarded parents, so Seven is also 30 years out of date too.
They both dress like foggies.
A "young" person should be repulsed or confused by a prospective suitor even a little younger than them, who dresses similar to their own parents or grand parents.
i think that's exactly what they were afraid off and if their target audience is anything like my pre-teen son then they are right, he hates all the "lovey-kissey" stuff. I am sure they could have more than made up for any loss in the young male crowd by attracting more women with a bit more realistic "lovey-kissey" stuff, though. Of course it's sci fi and not romance but sci fi plus a bit of romance is possible. At least in my universe.
