I haven't been on this thread for some time but if I may put my twopenneth(?) in for what its worth.

Julie is 24 years younger than me;it didnt matter one bit when we first got together but if I am perfectly honest, as I now reach the age of 65 both the physical and emotional aspects take on a more demanding role and there are times when I am sure we both find it very stressful.
Sometimes I feel that the word LOVE means different things to different people at various stages in their relationship.
I love my wife now with the same passion that I felt when we first met but that is because I still look at her and think she is,in my eyes,young and beautiful.
On the other hand I believe that my wifes love for me is on a different level simply because of that age difference.
I obviously wouldn't change things as they are (well,yes I do wish I was 20 years younger) but the bottom line is when you start to get into the retirement zone 20 years difference is too much.

Thanks for this excellent and honest post, DJ Trev. I think this sums up for me that you can't just pretend that physical differences don't exist or are of no importance whatsoever. However, they may not matter in the end because for most people, emotional compatibility is paramount and can overcome the problems created by age disparity. Though I don't think that's true for everyone.

I really don't think age matters, so long as you don't go under the age of consent rule!!

When I was 16 I was with a fella of 21 and we stayed together for 2 and half years

at 22 I was with a fella of 48

No, but you can tell a trees age by the rings on its trunk, who says the same doesnt apply to men?
