    My wife was 16 years older than me. The stability and confidence was a big pro. She knew what she liked and wanted and wasn’t afraid of it.

    She had to have a complete hysterectomy, she didn’t like the hormone replacement therapy. Her natural lubrication dried up and penetration became painful for her.

    A huge con is that I became a widower at 39 years old after 11 years together. It can happen at any age but the odds go up the older you get.

    Sorry for this non-answer, but I don’t think you will be able to generalize much on the topic of age, too many other dominant factors.

      She’s financially stable, has a career and money so she doesn’t bitch about finances. She always covered the bill on our dates and even paid on my behalf for overseas trips together.

      1. Renter pays money to landlady
      2. Landlady takes Renter out to lunch
      3. Landlady : “Don’t worry, I got this”
      4. Landlady pays for lunch using money paid by renter

    Logically older is more experienced. Best blow job ever from someone 20 years older than me. Think of all the times she has sucked cock. Of course after every cock she sucked she got better at it.

    I’m not (and will never be) in any age gap relationship, but one major con is that it prevents other people from dating someone their age. I had two separate instances where a girl admitted she was interested in me but instead chose a much older man for what he could provide. Age gap relationships are unfair mainly to young men because they simply can’t compete with the older men in things like money and time. And if enough men don’t have options to date their age, they will then look for younger women, repeating the cycle.

      Edit: Sorry just wanted to make the point that it happens the other way around too (and in many cases it’s not money related) but I digressed too much :)
