My God, if pontificating about the love lives of other people is the best we can do with our free time, then it's no damn wonder our country and the world is in the sorry state it is currently in. Like I said my husband is 15 years older than me but we have been married for 13 years now. As far as I'm concerned, as long as both parties are of legal age then it isn't anybody's business but theirs. I have a co-worker with whom I'm work chums (we're not bosom buddies but we like each other at work- I'm sure you've had one). and the male in question basically looks the same age as the female, considering the young aspie genes in said male... This is a completely hypothetical question and is not related in any way to my personal life but it is just something I've been thinking about wildly of how society would see this situation.I don't have an issue with it, I could understand the concern a father might have in that scenario thinking the older man might be taking advantage of someone young and naive but you can't control your kids life when they're an adult. and the male in question basically looks the same age as the female, considering the young aspie genes in said male...

If she wants to date a guy who is 6’2”, makes 0,000 , likes skiing, is within ten miles of her house and five years of her age, you know what? All she has to do is go on Match.com, and wade through a few thousand applicants. There are many other things that are attractive about older men. They can afford nicer restaurants and vacations and have cultivated greater tastes in the arts.They’re more experienced, more chivalrous, and more likely to want to settle down than a twentysomething party boy.I'm not going to say anything to him or her about it because it's none of my business, but it majorly bothers me (two levels: he's still a professor and she's still a student even if the college doesn't have a dating ban [unless students are in the professor's class] and the fact that she's by some definitions a minor and he's closing in on middle age]).I'm curious to see what others think: if you had friends in this type of relationship, would you think "She's a BABY!

I just feel jn todays society when a man of this age will not even consider a woman his age and focusen in young girls is not right maybe Im wrong but I am a mother and Id be very upset if my 18 year old came in with a man my age. However there is a 15 year age gap between me and my husband.But let’s not pretend that we, as a culture, don’t worship at the altar of youth. He’s got the job and the home and the car, and been divorced with a kid already.If you’re over the age of 40 and have ever said, “But I’m told I look five years younger than my age”, then you’re not immune to it yourself. And nobody has more choices than a 28-year-old woman. So if a woman finds it more appealing to just step into that world – to jump from the prolonged adolescence of the late 20’s into full-fledged settled-down womanhood – that could make sense.And from those, people seem to enjoy projecting it onto every large-age-difference couple. I kind of weirds me out a little, and my parents even had the 10 year gap, my father was 27/28 and my mother was 17/18 when they first met, I was born when my mother was 23.I'd never go for someone that young, but I guess whatever floats their boat, they're both legal and it's not like she's being forced into it.
