So because of the age difference between late 40's and late 20's then it really wouldn't be possible for the older man and younger woman to fall in love?
IN love? I doubt it. You can however love younger and be in lust, for awhile at least.

hmm, when does one lose that capacity to love someone of a different age? does "true" really only exist with the "half your age plus seven" rule?
does the love of God, love thy neighbor differ from the love in Ephesians 5:25 "Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her".
or is the love you speak up something more subjective, like what your opinion is as to the definition of love or perhaps popular consensus as to what love is?
because if it's the latter, who cares what others may think about your ability to love another person, regardless of age or other characteristic. it's your life and relationship, not theirs. let them search for love and happiness in their journey, you have a different path of discovery and enlightenment.
I personally think it's possible but as you can see from other comments here most people do not. Which is what I explained before that most people think it's not possible. I suppose a good example would be Woody Allen and Soon Yi.

I think it's possible but I don't think Woody Allen and Soon Yi are a good example of anything.
I can't imagine being 40, or over, and being attracted to a 20 year old woman. They just haven't lived enough, or suffered enough and had time to enough grow from it and develop the wisdom i find attractive.

same here, for sure concur with the above.
without making this an academic argument, there are some classic definitions of love, with perhaps eros love being the most applicable in the question OP presents. and seems the the literature does not suggest any limitations between two consenting adults. but to each his own...

40 with a 20-something is extremely rare, IMO. But 60 with a 40-yr-old is a little more common. What 60-yr-old wouldn't fall for an energetic, in-shape 40-something who puts him on a pedestal, adoringly, if he's successful in his career, or is accomplished in a creative field? I've seen examples of that.
OK, I get you now. I keep forgetting you're geographically challenged. And I thought you said on another thread you were 40 when you broke up with her and started looking on OLD. ....?
*shrug*
You were thinking of my divorce. What a nightmare. In my mind, I "shouldn't" even be in this position. Life just doesn't work out as you plan.
It happens all the time. But the real question should be can a younger woman fall in love with an older man? Yes of course, but no where near the ratio where older men fall in love with younger women.
