I know a couple in which the wife is 17 yeas older. They have been together almost 40 years. It works because she is "young " for her age, and he has always been kind of "old" for his age.
Yeah... this is how it is with me and my husband. He was a very mature guy for a 24yo when I met him (I honestly thought it was in his early 30s or something until he told me his age). I was 37 when we met... but, I'm a bit on the whimsical side, and I reckon most people figured me for younger than my age (most people think I'm about 10 years younger than I am when they meet me, even now).
Soo... we just meet someplace a bit closer to the middle. He'd already dated women closer to his age that had kids, so he wasn't too put off by me being a mother, though he was cautious because he knew it was a bigger commitment to take on a woman who had kids.
All in all, it works for us. I cannot say it would work for everyone, of course, but there ya go.

It's not hard to get 20yo chicks to go out on dates with you. Especially if you're buying.
Sheeesh.
It means *most* guys who are good with women don't seriously date old women, especially consider marrying old women, when younger, hotter, tighter women are available to them.
It tends to be the guys who aren't good with women who commit to older women because they are easier to get with.
The thing is is that not every single guy on this planet is driven around by his joint, yeah, a lot are but not all, sometimes people meet and for whatever reason they have a connection.

Older women can get with older dudes if they just wanna get laid. Not all older guys need ED drugs, yanno.
I see your point if you're talking about unattractive/poor/etc older women who have no other options, but that's true of younger women who aren't very attractive/are broke/have drug problems/weight problems, etc, it's it?
Sooo... all things being equal, a guy might (in his late 20s) want to hook up with a hottie who is 25 instead of a hottie who is 35, but if the 35yo is educated, intelligent, has a good career and more in common with him than the 25yo, sex is probably all he's really gonna want from the younger female. Understandable. It's just sex.
Let's be serious. The dudes who will pick the much younger woman for a serious relationship even if she's not the best choice from a compatibility standpoint are the ones with massive egos and older women wouldn't tolerate that crap anyway.
Younger women might, but only if he's got bank.

you know this through your vast experience with them as a guy I take it?
Please... any intelligent woman has no trouble figuring out what makes other women tick.
I know this because I have MANY male friends. Always have. If you're good friends with men, they tell you **** they don't tell other women... or other men.
Ask me how many of them slept with me... the answer is... some... but, not all. Hell, I'm still friends with most of my exes. They call me to talk about woman problems because I know them and can tell them if they're being dumbasses again.

Or am I just being a little pollyanna here????
No... you're not.
My husband is very successful in his career and he devoted most of his late teens/early twenties to getting involved in his career. He's not into team sports and other "dude bonding" crap... tends to go for hiking, mountain biking, running, etc.
He's more of the type who is attracted to intellect first. Sure, he notices hot chicks. Who the hell doesn't notice young, nubile, hot people (of either gender)?
But... that's not his main motivation in life, no. Why should it be? The women he dated that were younger were dull to him. He had a couple of LTRs with women closer to his age, and they were nice-looking females, but ultimately, those relationships weren't what he wanted.
I appreciate men who can think with the larger brain first and the smaller one second.
