[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've noticed that there are a couple of people that dominate these "age difference" threads whenever they come up. They have a clear agenda, and always try to steer the thread as follows:

1. A women whose parents had a 10-15 age gap. After a long marriage, her father became ill and her mother took care of him for a few years before he died. Her conclusion from this is that even a ten year age gap is a "big deal" and if you marry a man ten years older, your days will be reduced to cleaning out bedpans for your geriatric husband and your life will be completely ruined.

2. A man who is convinced that, in his 40s or 50s, he is still quite desirable to women in their early 20s and finds any suggestion to the contrary to be intolerable.

Can we just accept that everyone's situation is different and what worked, or didn't work, for you doesn't apply to everyone else?[/quote]

+1. I knew a woman who married a 20+ year older man and she had zero regrets, even though she took care of him in his old age and spent the last 25 years of her life alone after he died. She truly loved him and it worked for her.

I was once a 20 something who liked 40-50s men, and while they were hot to me, I eventually learned they were divorced/single at this age for a reason. Now I'm married to a guy 7 years older and I think that's too much of an age difference. We are from different generations so we think differently, and there is a lot of frustration on his end that I'm not as far into my career as he is since I'm so much younger. Which then leads to us prioritizing his career since it's farther along and has a higher salary, which makes my career fall farther behind, which leads to more frustration, etc. I may be more physically attractive than someone closer to his age but it's pretty obvious he would choose someone older if he could do things over again. I get it- I had a couple flings with some extremely attractive younger men and while it is sooooo much fun to run your hands over those tight bodies, there are too many comparability issues.

Now, if I could get the body of a 23 year old man, with the wisdom and sexual prowess of a man in his 50s, and the personality of a man in his 30s, I'd be one happy lady. [/quote]
