Growing up, it was not unusual to hear about or often see older men with a much younger woman on their arm. We saw it all of the time in the movies, on TV and in every day life.
In recent years I have seen the reverse equation more and more often. Older women with younger men.
What are you're thoughts about this Ageless love? Do you think it's just fine, to each his own.. or do you have any problems with it?
I must admit that I always find suspect this kind of union.. I can't imagine myself with a man ten years my junior for instance..
Take for instance the Demi Moore & Ashton Kutcher romance... to me he looks like he could be her son.. he isn't much older than her teenage daughter, is he?
I know that I shouldn't find fault with any kind of love union.. but it just doesn't sit right with me..

Personally, I see nothing wrong with it.
I don't feel my age ... nor do I act it most of the time ... Seriously though, most men my age are looking looking for different things than I am. I don't want kids or marriage and I like my semi-nomadic lifestyle. Those are things that tend to cause conflict in relatonships with people that are feeling that tug to settle down.
I'd rather seek out lifestyle compatibility than birth year commonality.

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?

From a purely biological-reproductive standpoint, older women with younger men doesn't make any sense, while the reverse does. Men remain reproductively viable over a much longer span of years than women.
Our species though has decided that it's perfectly OK to throw biology out the window. We know better than mother nature, so if an older woman can snag herself a young man, who cares?

The only problem with it now a days is that the older women are in their 20's and going after 12 to 15 year old kids.

If older women with younger men was the worst behavior we had to talk about, the world would be doing just fine.
Personally, as an older man I can find room for all ages of women. Younger women provide more excitement. Older women are easier to get along with because they are more grounded. There are many exceptions, of course.

Aren't any of you worried about all the hormones they inject into meat? No wonder everyone's maturing so fast. Look at 15 year old guys today, Bear. They sure didn't look that way when I was in highschool. (And yes, they had highschool back in the mastodon period.)
