The recent trend of older guys marrying much younger women

The trend I see is older women marrying younger males. That's something which is a drastic change. Rich and famous men have always taken on young trophy wives. But now your average middle aged divorcee is marrying much younger men than herself.

I think the following options pretty much sums things up with the whole age gap of couples...

A)Within 6-7 years either way of your own age = optimal (although the closer in age the better as I figure within 3-5 is probably truly optimal, since you would be pretty much from the same generation, but I left a little lee-way in there at 6-7 years so one is not too limited and at that point one is not too far apart in age either as while that's a gap it's not so much to where each of you will be at clearly different points in your life especially for those who ain't really young)

B)Within 10-ish years either way of your own age = this is the limit if you ask me and even this is pushing it as your about a half-generation apart at this point.

C)Parent level age gap (20-ish years) = definitely a bad idea. these rarely work I suspect as each will clearly be at different points in their lives.

D)Roughly grandparent level age gap (about 30-40 years apart in age) = these people CLEARLY have issues.


or another way to look at it, in terms of Green(good)/Yellow(caution)/Red(bad)... Option A is obviously Green, Option B is Yellow, between Option B/C is Yellow/Red-ish, Option C is Red, and Option D is Dark Red. I think that pretty much sums things up in terms of ones chances of it working as a general rule. so the bottom line is... Option A is best, maybe B TOPS. the rest... red flags.

p.s. but I suspect those who are really far apart in age is pretty much those types who are more in it for the money/fame/power etc (basically those who are gold diggers or want to get more fame/power etc) more than actually caring about the person they are married to. that's why if I was rich I would be really cautious about who I trusted as people would suddenly be more interested because of your $/power etc more than anything else. like some people in Hollywood you can just tell are not even close to marriage material at all and these are probably those types who go through a billion marriages and marry people of wide age ranges etc.

Why ask questions you already know the answers to?

Recent?

When it comes to older women hooking up with younger men, as in women in their 40s with men in their early 20s, I think that has to do with women's sex drive naturally peeking later in life. A woman in her forties might have a hard time being satisfied by a man the same age for whom sex now feels like a chore, and a man in his early twenties may feel like seeking out a woman his own age sexually takes too much effort.

I always kind of liked Anna Nicole Smith.   She made me laugh.  And she liked donuts.   Anybody who likes donuts can't be all bad.

She died on my 37th birthday.

Nah, it'll never catch on.
