Whats age got to do with Love .. if theres no love then its just a casual fling with no strings attached .. well we all need a companion .. so really age shouldnt be a great deal in any regard .. its 21st century .. u experiment then come to conclusion .. thats it
I'm all for women dating older men but here, the age difference is really large. I doubt anything serious will come out of this relationship, but if it does, she will be in her sexual prime at 40, while he'd be popping viagra and still incapable to keep up.
This is exactly why I would not advise such a large gap. If the gal has a healthy libido, odds are she'll be dealing with sexual incompatibility and looking elsewhere for action in a little as 10 years, or even less.
Now, reverse things around, and now you have a match.
It doesn't matter whether they are happy or not. These are wealthy couples, and they aren't representative. Money can't buy happiness, but it certainly can buy lots of very nice happiness-substitutes. And even that is besides the point. For every kind of couple, you may find someone whose relationship has worked out; but it doesn't indicate the likelihood that someone else's will. No one here is making predictions. All that most people are saying here is, every relationship has a certain set of complications. Some types of relationships have more complications to resolve than others. The more different the partners are, the less likely it is that they will be happy in the long term. Being from different backgrounds, different cultures, different socio-economic statuses, and yes, being of vastly different ages -- those are just added tensions. Some people can still handle the increased tension load, but that's no reason to pretend it isn't there.
Wow! What a superb post. Exceptionally well said and perfectly accurate. Behold wisdom, folks. Redisca's got it.

Exactly!
The problem will show up in the longterm.
And, if you have two people who believe in marriage for spiritual and moral reasons, there will be misery in the latter years relating to what MM said.
There will then come an inevitable feeling of being "stuck" and "shorted" in life for the younger one.
Never go over ten years of age on a mate choice, even if you're very mature for your age.

Not so sure about that, ChessieMom. My age begins with the number 4 and I'd put my libido up for comparison to any twenty-something. Maybe when men hit their 60s most are on a downward slope, but there are lots of men in their 40's who are plenty ready to play.
