I am no relationship expert but I am seeing time and time again that very large age gap relationships don't last.
As soon as the older person in the relationship start showing signs of aging the younger in the
relationship abandon them. Or if the younger in the relationship wants to have kids.
What is a 70 year old man doing with a twenty year old woman.He would be like dating his granddaughter. What is a woman in her sixties doing with a 20 year old man .That would be like she is dating her son.These relationships won't last no matter how much anti aging cream or plastic surgery.
Love they say is blind but we have to also be sensible.
Picture from tiktok shows man 23 dating woman in her sixties.

It's up to the people involved and none of my business if or why people of different ages wed.
They must have their reasons and that's good enough for me.

I know. It lessens the idea of marriage but if it's two consenting adults, they can have whatever kind of marriage they choose.

@Vikingswest1 I am sure you would not allow your grandmother to be tricked into a romance scam. You would not say it is none of your business.

The same thing can be said about couples that are close in age. It really isn’t the age it’s about the two people. No two relationships are the same. You only ever about the ones that don’t make it not the ones that do. If you think of it not along ago men in there old age took younger women why because women would die early from an ray of thing form clothes being to tight, complication for pregnancy, other illnesses.
In general marriages for a lot of people don’t make it past the 7 year mark. But yet people find ways to define what others think or feel. You can’t help who you love or when you love them and you can’t help when you no longer love if that ever happens. You can have more then one love or your life.

@askme123 not just the old anyone that is lonely. Humans are social creature so of course everyone wants someone to keep them company.

I can say that still depends on the persons involved. I think there are just a few couples that may survive this kind of relationship. But I agree that the majority of this will definitely not work as they belong to the different age groups that will eventually have clashes with likes and dislikes about many things.

I think this is possible as long as they, not only like each other, but also love each other.

@askme123 I can't tell. Age gap is too large. Maybe, they truly felt the magic. Who knows they are soulmates.

My husband is twenty-three years older than me. And, while I do think from time to time of him psassing before me, I will not lose what I have because of his age.

I think it depends on the situation. Sometimes those kind of relationships do work.

I didn't know the woman in the photo is in her sixties because her body looks like a girls body.
I think in such relationships, the older one is at fault for wooing the younger one. But then I think it's better than being lonely although people should try and find their age match.

@askme123 Well, her face looks old but the body is different because of how she has dressed.
I also don't understand why such relationships exists. People keep saying that age doesn't matter but it's a lie.
I saw a wedding where a man was 10 years older than the girl. To me that age difference wasn't bad. But a 70 year old with a 20 year old is a worst scenario.

I agree with you on the gold digger part. I would just be thankful that it doesn't happen to someone close to you. That puts you in a rather odd position. But a relationship involves two people and we really don't need to be poking into other's relationships.

I am in two minds about this topic. My parents were only 6 months apart in their age, and they were married for just short of 60 years.
I am 12 years older than my wife, and sometimes I feel glad that I am older, but at other times, the age difference, does cause me some angst, as my wife still wants to go out a lot, where I am now at the age, where I would prefer to just spend a night inside the house.
It boils down to what type of a person we individually are too, I guess.
Some people my age, after a life of working hard, only then start to party, at my age...going out most nights...lol...I am not like that.

@innertalks Yes I think that would be a nice thing.
Age gracefully together.

@askme123 I am not sure if I would have liked to have married an older woman either, but a small gap, of a year or two, I might have been comfortable with that, I think too.
As I get older, though, I think more of my wife, as the large gap will mean probably that I will go first.
If we were closer in age, we could age more together, I think too, which might be a sweet thing to do, as my parents did too. They got closer, as they aged.

Thank you for sharing that with us. I think it depends on the relationship that people are in if there is a big age difference. There are those that do make it that have a big age difference and those that do not make it. Michael Douglas and his wife have an age difference and they are still together. I am no expert in relationships also because when Demi Moore was married to her younger husband who is now married to his co-star from That 70's show they got divorced. I would say even people that are closer in ages do not make it too but I guess it depends on the people and how hard they want to make the marriage work.

The older the man the better they treat you. D less than a year older = assaulted me, Bones 9 years older = threatened to cave my friend's head in. Gez polite, respectful, intelligent and would never lay a hand on me without my permission. he is 48 I'm 24.
