There are reasons most May/December romances are old men and younger women. Physical abilities, mental and emotional maturity, societal pressures, just to name a few. I am not saying it's fair or right. Just explaining what I've seen. A 22 yo woman is going to find it easier, not always a walk in the park, but easier to tell people she is dating a 42 yo than a 22 yo guy is going to, talking about his 42 yo girlfriend. My 30 yo son is now living with a woman that is 38 or 39. They've been dating for around (not sure because he kept it on the low down and I don't snoop) two years. My daughter, his stepfather, and I, just met her about two months ago and we just met her 19 yo daughter last weekend. The other two girls that have been in his life, I met within a few months of the relationship beginning. They were both a year or two younger than he. While I think the woman he is seeing now is far better for him than the previous two, I don't know if the relationship will last due to the age issue. It can be a tough one. I just wanted to add.......I do tend to end up in relationships with s-types that are considerably younger. Both women in my life were my kids age or younger. And most I've gotten close to and considered having in my life have been younger. Not because that is ALL I will consider, just the way it's happened for whatever reason. I never expect forever. I know better. If it happens, faaaaaaabulous, but I know the realities and do not expect it. That might be why I am able to stay friends, and occasional fuck buddies, with my one living ex.
