I remember being 27 and dating a 20-year-old a couple of times. I could feel my IQ dropping every time I had a conversation with her. So, as a guy in my 50s, I can't imagine dating one now.
He's old enough to be her grandfather... I personally could not date anyone older than my parents (44, and 51) but at my age I wouldn't even feel comfortable dating someone 10 years my senior. I work with older people on a daily basis and while I will say many are quite charming and posses a great wealth of knowledge, the generational gap would still be too much to overcome. Not to mention, assuming no tragic accidents shorten either's life, with a 39 year age difference he's likely going to die quite earlier than her, leaving her widowed and any children fatherless, too much for me to deal with.
What a lot of you have failed to realize is, that it is most often the woman in these lopsided age relationships that fight to keep them. The men often realize it likely won't work and try and move on, or not engage and the girl is the one who clings on for dear life.
I had one age lopsided relationship when I was 39 with a 22 year old and did everything in my power to end it and she was so in love with me, she kept me coming back until I fell in love with her. There were challenges about the relationship, but the age thing faded quickly. I did not see her as such a much younger woman as time went by and from my point of view, I was sincerely not with her due to wanting some young woman on my arm. We eventually broke up due to other reasons, but age had nothing to do with it.
In the OP, I do find the age difference of 40 years to be a bit of a stretch though.
The posted pic of Bauer doesn't really do him justice. He's actually (IMO) a great looking man. I could see how a young girl would find him attractive and likewise she's pretty smokin hot. I say... More power to both of them, although I may be a little biased seeing as how I am 25 and dating a 55 year old man.
