If the woman's 5-10 years older than the man, how did it work when she hit her 50s and 60s?

He is an idiot. But his gf was even more stupid than him.

Menopause can really alter a woman’s body and her sex drive and enjoyment.

This is not that big of an age gap.

You can break up for a million reasons. As long as you don’t want kids, you are fine.

It would be a bigger concern if it was a 15 or 20 year age gap like an Ashton Kutcher or Jason Mamoa type situation.

So take that into account. If you have a great relationship, just have some realistic expectations about how her body will change in her 50s and 60s.

Prove your stats, please.

Why is that men die 5 years earlier than women on average?

Because women do the emotional and mental labor. Men are happier when they are married. Women are happier when they are not married. Bc many of us have to take care of an emotionally immature man who relies on his wife to manage things he deems unimportant.

Men age much worse than women, and pick up more chronic conditions with the age. That’s just the stats: obesity is higher for men than for women after age 45.
Therefore, men die earlier.

If not for men being socially conditioned to date younger, based on these simple facts men should marry older women to be at the same stages of life

Libido is not everything: and men overwhelmingly have ED after 45.

It’s the overal life energy level, wellness etc that matters, too.

I think what you've described in a partner and relationship points to someone who would be happier with shorter relationships. You sound like someone who would value the intense beginning part of a relationship and the excitement of a new sexual partner.

Be good to your kids now though so when you become old and I'll they can take you to doctor's appointments and all that.

(I think all the same applies to me). But I keep thinking about what will happen in 5 years, 10 years, 15 years. Will she suddenly age quickly, lose her libido, etc., while I'm still fit and active for an extended period? I know eventually I'll be old and have a lower libido, too, and then we'll probably be back in sync, but there will presumably be a lag -- potentially for many years. Have people been through this? How'd it work out?

Lots of lube and an abundance of sex
