One time I had a 60 something year old woman on a dating site ask if I wouldn't mind being her "escort" because she usually liked the company of younger men. I respectfully declined, but then after I wrote that walked around the house incessantly saying "Ewe ewe ewe ewe ewe." I mean, I don't have a problem with age gaps but ONLY if A: They want the same things in life (And, well, I want kids--a 60 something woman isn't going to hack it), B: They have the same mindset, C: Have some similar interests, and D: Look at least close looks-wise. And, well, a youthful looking guy being with a wrinkly old looking raisin like that woman looked like is pretty much as ewe-like as seeing a girl that looks like one of the Olsen twins being with a guy who looks like Father Time. It's gross when people look THAT different. I mean, there's good examples you see. Like Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher. She looks GREAT for her age so they "match", but me and a female raisin who no longer has reproductive capabilities and will probably be dead in 15 years? Um...no.
I mean, don't get me wrong--age differences CAN work. My Grandpa and my Step-Grandma are something like 14-16 years apart of so and they've been married almost 55 years now. BUT, my Grandpa, until the last 10 years, actually looked really decent for his age so until that time they sort of matched. No one ever really questioned it or was grossed out about it because no one ever really knew. So, age "can" be just a number, but it all depends on the circumstances. But when the couple LOOKS like someone who babysat Moses is with someone who just got out of college? Then, Houston, there's a problem.
