My Grandma was 84 when she passed 2 years ago ... her partner (but not my grandfather) was 62 & they had been together for 40 years, never married & but that never stopped them.
it works just the same as no age gap. what is the defenition of "works" these days ?
if they break up after 10 years everyone will say - see - told ya it wouldnt work :)
meanwhile everyone the same age will have had shorter relationships without being noticed.
if it makes people happy even for a short while go for it
I met my (ex) husband when I was 17 and he was 33. Any problems we had were nothing to do with any age gap, it didn't feel like there was one.
He was 60 last month, and unfortunately for me I now look more his age than he does.
So from the other side of the coin, if that's what having a younger bit of stuff does for you tell your mate to lap it up...
As long as they're happy what does age matter?

Any fit 25 year olds want to take part in an experiment with me ?
We can post our findings on this thread in a couple of years..... if i'm still alive.... (purely for scientific purposes of course)
Yeah of course it works, normally its people that ask this question that have an issue though (in my limited experience). So errrr greenman, do you have anything you wish to discuss?
An Suzyamki, I wouldnt resist. I might scream a little but I certainly wouldnt resist.
your as old as the woman you feel!!
I'm of the opinion age differential matters less as you age!! does that make sense ?? most of my relationships have been with younger women, "fate not planned" I'd like to say it works, but I'm on my own again!!
each person and circumstance is unique, so my motto still is, if you believe in the person go for it!! life's too short to not at least give it a try!!
had partners much older and much younger and also same age .... although not all at the same time lol
age was never the issue - it is the relationship that matters
Age difference does not matter unless you make it matter. Nothing has meaning except for the meaning you give it. Stereotyping men or women by age is as ridiculous as stereotyping by hair colour or shoe size. if you want to be truly happy then drop all your baggage and be interested in people for who they really are.
if age doesnt matter then why do young men want older women and older men want younger women - but - young women want older men and older women want younger men.
no wonder there so many singles out there - maybe easyer to stay single and just have good friends with perks :-)
