The bolded part simply isn't true. Nearly 40 percent of men are marrying someone [b]at least[/b]six years younger. That doesn't imply the other 60 percent are marrying same-age women or older women. Many of them are marrying women 3, 4, & 5 years younger. Still significant difference. But the main point is these May-December romances EXPLODE for the 2nd marriage ONLY. AND ONLY for MEN. What explains that? Other than many younger women will give an older man a chance on Round 2 marriage. Same can't be said for older women.[/quote]

Don't want to go into your statistical debate but you are being completely ridiculous if you think that six years is a major age difference, and that 3, 4 & 5 years is a "significant difference."  It's not significant at all.  It's a complete non-issue. Neither is 6 years. My DH is 7 years older than me. I don't see him as an "older man", we are peers in every possible sense.  "May-December" romances does not describe couples where the age difference is six years and under.  It kicks in only when it's 10, 15 years or more (half a generation).  Couples that are six years apart (let alone 3 years) are peers.
