Whatever works for both people.

My second husband was 14 years younger than me. And Russian. Yesenin & Isadora Duncan we were. It was great while it lasted. It totally depends on what life both of you have lived - we were definitely the same age in our brains. I meet men my age who have done nothing for 60 years and we're supposed to be compatible because we were born near the same year? A strange logic.

I generally gravitate towards older men, 10+ years older. I don't usually converse with men more than 4 or 5 years younger than me. Just seems almost "icky." Probably missing out on a lot of options but the heart wants what the heart wants. Or doesn't want, lol

Men have been in relationships with women(girls) many years their junior for millenia....why not women doing the same with younger men? I find both situations a bit itcky, but that's just me. I'd go maybe 3,4 years younger(more than that, I think a man would annoy me) and maybe 10 years older. That's my personal age run.

I suppose I share the same thoughts about it that many people do. I find it easier to accept if there is an obvious reason - like he's rich and she's young and hot, or she's the heiress to old money, and he's her former masseur. Sometimes, though, it can be creepy. I recall meeting a couple - he was a middle-aged evangelical and she was a mousy teenager who looked pretty cowed. I felt sorry for her.

I had a girlfriend at one time and she was seven years older than me. It didn't matter to either of us because we were really in love..

I say don't worry about it, it's hard enough to find people you like well enough to marry...

Considering women on average live 4.4 years longer than men and the current age disparity of married couples in the US, 92.4% of married women can expect to end up widows as opposed to 7.6% of men ending up widowers. If this incredible imbalance is the happily accepted norm why do people lose their minds when an older woman marries a younger man.
The man older thing is in part a throwback to when only older men had the resources to raise a family and women's life expectancy was lower due to high rates of death in childbirth.

My first thought? None of my business.

If they love each other, who cares. Now, if it were an arrangement that came about through some means other than... natural... then I'd take exception. Meaning that if it were an arranged marriage and one, or both, of those involved in said marriage really didn't want to do so... yeah, that I'd have issue with.

In a similar vein, if the younger member of the marriage really was too young to make such a decision... I'd have issue.

Assuming both are adults: who really cares?

Is there additional stress or concern with a wide age gap? Sure, but my hope is that the couple of discussed/prepared for that and taken it into consideration before marching to the alter and making the commitment to each other.

Can it work? I certainly think so. That said, I have seen it fail, disastrously, for my father (one of his many wives, there is a hint, was 16 years his junior and it didn't work out... but, neither did at least 8 other of his marriages, was it the age diffierence or just that my dad was a grade AA prick?).

In short, I think that a marriage with a wide age spread is likely tougher than one with a narrow age spread. There are various issues for whichever gender is older/younger. However, in the final analysis: I hope that they have a lovely life, and a wonderful marriage and it ain't my business.

Hmm that's interesting, probably just want a mature woman

I don't look at age within reason, I like someone or don't.

Different strokes for different folks. If both parties are of legal consenting age do what you

I worked with a guy past few years, he is close to my age, approx 60. At the xmas party he proudly introduced his wife, she was more than 25 years older. He has since finished work to care for her as she is frail. Previously they were doing overseas trips twice a year, 5 star all the way. Someone has money. Nice guy to work with, she seemed nice as well.

Why should it be a problem for older women to date younger men? It's accepted that many older men date younger women and no one seems to care.

In general, I think those relationships are unlikely to work out for long, but they can.

Sorry, do not watch TV.
