New thread since this is a bit of a side street from the original "married by age 50" thread by Seoul.
Im glad you mentioned this Reece. This is something I have been pondering. I've in the past (eHarmony or whatever) been approached by younger men (in their 20s) and I admit I was curious, a bit amused at my own expense, and incredulous. What would a guy in his 20s see in a woman my age, with teenage daughters no less! I am probably doing them a grave disservice by dismissing them out of hand, and I feel bad about that. My first reaction is just to assume they are being friendly. That pretty much has to be it, right?? I just have a hard time wrapping my brain around it. Not the age itself so much as the difference in life situations. I dunno... thoughts from anyone on younger men and older women?
(Having said that, I know several couples with significantly older women and younger men, and they have all been successful. So I know it's not impossible. Maybe it's a pride thing? I feel like my husband should be at least as old and wrinkly as me. Haha.)
What gets me is that there seem to very few younger men, older women couples...I mean, why is it acceptable one way and not the other? Anyway...
