People laugh about it? still? not in my opinion... Ive noticed its being more accepted more than ever in our society....personally I could never be with a younger man, I like men older than me even if a little bit...------------------

I am married to my beloved who is 15 years younger. I dated guys up to 24 years younger.
Dated much older too.
Age is a state of mind.
Change your mind!  PS.My brothers think I am a freak. Really quite funny seeing they are 10 to 24 years older than their wives! ------------------

My husband ran into a situation(not the first!) like that, right before meeting me.
A lady was coming on very strong to him. She was wooing him bigtime! 
But the moment she found out he is 6 years younger, she dropped her interest in him and told him he was waaaay too young for her!
Then he meets me, 15 years older!
So with her "old" lady mentality, she was too old for him!
The silly woman saw us a few years after we got married and was so confused!

What people laugh at it? Silly, small-minded, unhappy people who would deny others their happiness?Pat those people on the head and move on. You don't need them in your life. They have issues. ------------------

I love this one...heard it too many times!
Directed to the younger man:"What are you going to do in ten or twenty years when she is older, like elderly?" The reply is usually: "Be ten or twenty years older myself". Fools will just stand there trying to figure that bit out.
Somehow they get it into their heads that the older woman will keep aging and the younger man will not age.
Too damn funny! ------------------

With the exception of true soul mates
I think of this as a little off limits (at least for me) because women don't usually get better with age like men do. We peak early (like 16  )Take a man and a woman who are both 40'ish he will look distinguished and in his prime while she'll look middle aged.
The first time I saw Bush Sr and his wife Barbara I kind of cringed because she looked like his mother.
Not that he didn't look old
she just looked A LOT older BUT THEN AGAIN true love conquers all
and there are men who are more in their comfort zone with older women. To each their own
 Out Edit this to add,
40's are a little young to be clasified as middle age when there are women in the world that look like Liz Hurley, Emma Thompson, Kristen Scott-Thomas and Madonna IP: Logged |

Women peak around 36 or 37 dont they?And Ive heard it said "improve with age like fine wine" A man of 18 or 19 is very matched sexually with a woman aged 35 plus.... Take it from me......its true.......!!!!!!!!!!!! I know now in my 40s I am more empowered, confident and sexy than I have ever been......I am more "out there" than I was 20 years ago....and am told I dont look my age..... So why wouldnt I wanna be with a younger more energetic man? And if people wanna criticise, its usually out of jealousy, or boredom or frustration, and narrow minds..... Who cares what the eejits think when you can be having a good time..... IP: Logged |

lalalinda! Take that back!Women age beautifully. If someone can't see that, well, someone needs glasses. And who said aging isn't beautiful?! sue g is right. Women hit their sexual peak in their 40's! It's men who allegedly peak in their teens. However, there is no reason for anyone not to be sexually viable at any age, given proper nutrition, exercise, becoming health conscious, etc. Oh lala, how can you say in good conscience that women do not get better with age? It's like writing a death sentence to us. This, to me, is antiquated male thinking, used to repress women. F!CK THAT! We are beautiful powerful and wonderful at any age, and any man who doesn't see that is a waste of a woman's time.  I love you lalalinda, but on this subject, I vehemently disagree. I feel more beautiful and empowered now than I ever did in my "youth." ------------------

Except for my weight...
I LIKE MY LOOKS NOW much better than when I was younger!
I plan to age gracefully! I also notice that I oddly look better without makeup now then when I was younger!
Women only seem older I think because they wear the makeup masks and then date themselves by not changing their style and adjusting it, still wearing the same makeup as years ago.
Nothing sadder than an old hippie like me trying to look like a young flower child! It looks ridiculous!
Be the best you at the age you are and others will see you as beautiful!  ------------------

trillian and fayte.m....  Yes I agree it is a very outdated male thinking, which we women moved away from YEARS ago.... Some of the sexiest and most powerful women I know are over 40.... Of course, if you think you are these things, you will become them.... and between you and I ladies and the bedpost, I have a propensity for drawing young men to me...... IP: Logged |

At least half of the women I've dated have been older than me. With only one life to live, it seems to make sense to indulge in the variety and the opportunities presented to us.I feel I attract older women because I look older. Maybe it is because young women are shallow and somehow still believe that they'll find the "perfect man" and dismiss me because they have the time remaining in life that allows them to be excessively picky. Regardless, I don't seem to attract younger girls at all. And to be honest, I prefer older women. They are much more REAL. I'm 23 and feel like I reached my peak of attractiveness at 16. Life has been hard, I'm not complaining, but I feel like it has taken its toll on my appearance. I look and feel like I've experienced so much in the past 10 years. I'm 100% confident in my character. But physical aging has killed my confidence in my appearance. So, my character is worthless if I can't even get my foot in the door... My hair is thinning and I don't have the energy I used to. I'm in good shape, but I don't feel as vibrant and fun as I used to be. I always feel like an old man when I'm partying with my peers. So much for my Saturn being "exalted" in Libra, and my Mars "exalted" in Capricorn. Such sh*t, I feel like I'm failing to draw on both of those "ideal" placements. I'm aging and tiring faster than all of my friends... I feel like I used to be much more attractive, and I want that back. Sexually, I feel as confident as ever. But I'm sure my attractive peak has passed years ago. IP: Logged |

I was not talking about sexual peak (didn't even think of it)I was being superficial and refering to how a woman compared to a man ages. Love to you Trillian IP: Logged |

Honestly... When a woman knows what she wants and who she is... that's what's attractive. I'm 19 and I've found that I'm more comfortable around older people (in specific a 27 year old). It just comes with some men's dynamic. I am glad that scociety is more open to this kind of relationship for I feel I deserve that of an older woman who has a fuller understanding of life. Gosh, I sound like a guy. Anyway, I agree! No problems here. -R IP: Logged |

Ageing is part genes and part inner peace/happiness and part some other stuff. I don’t think aging discriminates.btw I look way better now than when I was 16 scruffy and flat
