When it comes to relationships, most people do not put much emphasis on age differences. There is still a stigma when the age difference is pronounced. And couples with a big age difference tends to attract more attention. Most of us have seen this and have wondered what the attraction is. This happens more often than we think. I am married to an older woman, so I tend to notice this more than other men. The age difference between my wife and I is only five years and, as a friend of mine who I have known for 25 years, refers to me as her boy toy or her eye candy. First of all, my friend was being very generous to even say that. Let's face it, what guy in his right mind does not want to be thought of as eye candy or a boy toy. And trust me on this, I am not eye candy or a boy toy (My wife just informed me that she would beg to differ. Looks like I will have to write more of this stuff around her, ego boost!). And just so you know my wife and I have a very good relationship, and we do tend to tease and joke around quite a bit. We spend an awful lot of time together ("awful" is meant as a good thing in this sentence).
Getting back to why I periodically think of this. Occasionally my wife will bring up our age difference jokingly and sometimes in a more serious tone. I'm still not sure why she even brings it up. When we met 22 years ago I did not look younger than her, but she was more mature than I was. It had been three years since I came out of college and she already had a career path. She worked in higher education and her colleagues were much older than her. She was mature for her age and dressed according to her profession. Looking at her in casual clothes, you could not tell her age. But once she spoke, you could tell she was more mature. As the years went by, and my life experiences expanded, I noticed that I got closer to her in age. As it stands now, after 22 years, I look 2 to 3 years older than her and maybe even older than that. When I look in the mirror I don't see that young strapping man anymore, I see a very distinguished, older man (I had to put that in) and occasionally I ask myself who that old guy is looking back at me. I tell you, feeling young and looking young are two different things and definitely two different articles.
Our society judges men and women differently when it comes to younger partners. When you see a much younger woman with an older guy, the first thing that comes to mind is "He must have money.". How else could he have gotten such an attractive catch? When it's an older woman with a younger guy, it's not about the money, it's about eye candy or a boy toy. Younger men have more stamina, something older men clearly are lacking at this point in their life. But men, do not fret. We may not have the money the younger women are looking for, but with today's technology, we can certainly keep our partner happy at home. You know, give it a little bit more gas to get it going, but this time we can actually take something to give us more gas. We can actually compete with the younger generation. Not only are we more mature, we are more experienced, we are somewhat already trained and we have more money. I love science and technology! Unless of course you have health issues, in which case, you better hope that there is a bunch of love in that relationship to keep it together.
Although society is more liberal with all walks of life, people still look down, and chuckle, when there is a big age gap. Many other lifestyles are now considered acceptable to most, but physical difference are still ridiculed. Some women marry older men for their money and to possibly outlive their husbands. I'm not a statistician, but women live approximately 5 years longer that men. But as long as both individuals are of sound mind they should be able to make any decision they want. After all, who am I to tell someone how they should live their life? I live near the beach, and I hear things like "That person should not be wearing a bikini" or "That person should not be wearing that." All I can say is, don't look at them. Next thing you know, people will tell you that if you are older or weigh a certain amount, you should not wear lingerie. Well, I like lingerie and if it feels good and fits, then I say wear it, regardless of your age or weight. As a matter of fact I need to talk my wife about buying thatbabydoll lingerie that she has been eyeing and just maybe we can have some fun, dressing up in character of course. See ya!
