[quote=Anonymous]As a daughter of parents with a 10-year age difference, I vote against it, on the advice of my mother.  She says it ages the woman prematurely and she has to live on the timeline of her older spouse.   She's still very sprightly at 75, but my dad is seriously frail at 85.  I would think it gets even worse with a larger age gap.

Younger women and older men may get along famously but it is a very bad deal for the woman.  Men age and sicken faster; an older man will age and sicken so much faster that a younger woman may find herself playing nurse when her age peers are still leading an active, peppy life.

As for me, I got along very well with older men in my twenties, and happened to fall in love with one 24 years my senior.  We were engaged.  After five happy years together he got cancer and died.  It screwed me up for a good couple of years.  And I think standing over my fiance's coffin was not an experience I needed at 29.  Since then, I still find older men attractive but I know they are a bad deal, so I said never again.  Married someone seven years older and that was my limit. [/quote]
