[quote=Anonymous]There are couples where it sorta just works out that way (wife is much younger). Something I've noticed, however, is that the woman seems to age quickly compared to peers. Usually the wife looks/dresses/acts older. I wonder if this is due to having to mature quickly. If the guy has kids from a previous marriage, she probably assumes a motherly role quicker than expected. I also wonder if there is less pressure to maintain a youthful look (and maybe this isn't a positive) once you're around other couples where the women are older. Conversely, dating younger men usually causes us women to focus more on grooming and exercise to maintain a youthful look.

I recall going on a date at 24 with a 34yo and feeling self-conscious about the physically obvious age difference (he wasn't in the best of shape). I later dated a 42yo guy who looked 35 (I was 29). He was physically attractive and in shape, but I cringed at meeting his friends and their partners and sticking out. I wonder if I would have done like two girlfriends, who are still attractive, but dress and have personas now that are "older". One was 39...I thought she was mid-to-late 40s when we met. The other was 31 and I thought she was late 30s.[/quote]
