[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think men in particular need years to sow their oats, so to speak. 
[b]In my observation marriages also tend to fare better in the long run when men marry women who are 10-15 years younger.[/b]

I would advise men in their 20s to date women in their 20s respectfully (relationships yes, but be honest that marriage is not in the cards for now).  And importantly, work on making a successful career for yourself and saving money.  Then marry someone in their mid-to-late 20s when you are 38.

And young women I would advise to date older men, again about 10-15 years, who are already established in their careers -- just NOT married men.[/quote]

I used to think the same thing, but now I have friends dealing with their aging husbands.  However, when I think of the couples I have ACTUALLY known, "IRL", with an age gap, the relationship seems to have prematurely aged the woman.  For reference, I live in an UMC, close in neighborhood, so it isn't like the couples are stuck indoors and don't have money to do things like travel and go to nice dinners.[/quote]
