    Not really. Older women often like younger men to keep up sexually. We hit our peaks at about 17, they hit it about 30 or 40. They say the sex can be better, since there is less, or no, worry about pregnancy. But, this can be a pain if you happen to want kids (not that many today do).

    The biggest problem is that you, and she, may get a lot of hate. Older men/younger women and older women/younger men aren't too popular today. Everyone seems to think it is pedophilia or something, even when both are over legal age.

    Age is only a number. If it doesn't bother the woman, then don't let it bother you. However, some people will ridicule her, will say that she is robbing the cradle (old expression) or that she is a "cougar" (current name for older women/younger mates).

    I think it's nasty tbh, however for some reason I do not find it that nasty when the male is a little older, max 15 years older. Sorry that is just what I feel.

    I have been married 5 times, 3 to women younger then me ranging from 3-14 years.

    The only thing that matters is are you truly in love. age is only if our minds.

    Source(s): Married for most of my life.

    It would be different. It may make real life situations difficult with maybe if you wanted kids in your 30s, she wouldn't be able to in her 50, perhaps.

    Personally, I don't find it that weird. I mean, love is love! If you truly love her, go for it!

    Nope! Perfectly okay. Love is love, no matter the age (as long as it is of legal age, of course).
