[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Marrying an older man is a bad deal for the younger woman later in life.  It's all fun and games when he's 40 or 45 and she's 30 or late twenties.  Fast forward twenty or thirty years.  No one, no matter how rich, can stop time.  Older men will sicken faster and die faster.  That same woman - who may no longer hot and young at 40+ but is not yearning for retirement - will play nurse to her older husband, and will age faster because he'll make her live a lifestyle much older than her actual age.  And when they do die, the market isn't exactly yearning for the 50+ something widows. If it was up to me, I'd say date them, enjoy the ride but marry your peer so that you won't have to age faster or live like an older man. [/quote]

This is a very important point. Older guys are not a whole lot of fun when they get to 50 plus. Younger brides will have a grumpy old man to look forward to, who falls asleep on the couch. The hot younger wife will also need to socialise with his older friends. I dare say she won't find any BFFs among the wives, more likely there will be some social chill in the air. Likewise, he will have to sit and listen to her friends witter on. Enjoy :)

Older ladies seem to gain a whole new lease on life as they get older and their husbands tend to be a total drag around about the same age...

I have a friend who married a guy who is 20 plus years older. This is his second family and his older kids are grown. He leaves the child rearing to her and she struggles with that. Her step-grandchildren will be around the same age as her own kids. She knows she will be a young widow. I don't envy her a few years from now when the serious business of ageing kicks in and she is the 40 something wife of a 70 year old man. [/quote]
