Yes those men are usually more mature and probably more confident due to life experience but in essence aren't those men less masculine due to lower testosterone?
My testosterone levels are much higher now in my mid 30's than they were in my early 20's.
A lot can be achieved from a healthy lifestyle.

As a guy who at 48 a couple years ago "dated" if you would call it that a woman twenty five years younger for about six months, the only problems we had was with conversation at times when it came to old music, TV shows and that sort of thing, as the age difference was apparent. As far as everyday living, going out, sex etc, no problems. Age difference never entered into it with the two of us. I was every guys hero for having a young, good looking gf, and every older woman thought it was creepy or disgusting.
I didn't hit on her or her on me. We just got along and one thing led to another. We agreed when it started it had no future and we would see how it played out. It didn't end badly and we both met people our own age and we are still good friends. We have actually talked about living together as neither of our current situations is good and we enjoy each others company and get along well.

I was in this situation once not long ago and it was very hard for me. We were a match in ever way, but our age and we both knew deep down inside, we could not go long term. I tried to let her down and out of the relationship many times, but she always fought with all she had to keep it alive. It changed my view on relationships and how men and women might connect with each other, as we just clicked and my being older, just meshed with her being younger.

The funny thing is, after your with someone in a real relationship for a long time that is much younger then you, the age thing fades and you forget the person is so much younger. It is the judgment and piercing eyes and stares of others that remind you! I loved this young woman in ways I never was able to love others and so did she, as well. It ended and we both were heart broken. If I had been born ten years later, or her ten years early, we could have made it work.

In the end she thanked me from the bottom of her heart for having showed her what true love, from a man who cared was like. She had not experienced anything but bad abusive relationships prior to me.

I'm guessing financial stability trumps high testosterone

Maybe.

They knew each other for a looooooooong time. And Tiggy was the who drew concern... not Camilla.

The defeatist, fatalistic views on here...

So money matters more than testosterone and masculinity?

Huh? You're comparing a PRINCE who had an unhappy marriage to the average older man? that's silly. Camilla was the one he's always loved.

To many women, financial stability trumps everything else!
