Older men younger women topic years age dating good marriage

Age differences in relationships are no longer important as long as two people find something in common.

The society has given the name Cougar Dating to relationships where older women is dating younger men which I think is very unkind and mean.

When guys can date women who are old enough to be their daughters why can’t women do so? What could be some of the reasons why some older women prefer younger men for love, marriage and sex?

Perhaps the best known are 68-year-old Michael Douglas and 43-year-old Catherine Zeta-Jones, who have bridged their quarter-century age gap to stand by each other through a long partnership (and some recent serious health scares).

Or look at 65-year-old Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood, who made 34-year-old theater producer Sally Humphreys his (third) bride in December 2012.

When it comes to the subject of love we always hope that there are no real significant barriers to its success.

In our hearts, if not in our heads, we’re convinced that love will always trump practical concerns such as money, social class, race and even gender. And what about age as it relates to older women involved with younger men?

However, regardless of what culture you come from, it is considered acceptable – if not – for the man to be older than the woman.

In 1989, in what was probably the largest study on the issue of age gap in relationships, David Buss surveyed people from 37 cultures and 6 continents.

Fortunately, that’s changing as more older-woman and younger-man couplings make headlines.
