But sure enough I fell in love with this man. Now I am turning 30 and he is 44. We are happily married and living out our dreams together as planned. My point is it depends on the each individuals character, I was a very mature 18 yr old and I stood strong with my beilefs, and it took a grown adult man to understand where I was coming from.I could never pictured myself with a man my age simply because there's too much immaturity. So its not about being grossed out or anything, its just about being compatible and what truly makes you happy. Age really isn't nothing but a number!

His daughter is 31 and when they married about four years ago, SIL became an instant grandmother at 26. <br/><br/>Now, the other ex-sister-in-law married that sister's husband's son so her sister is now her mother-in-law and I have no idea if her kids will call her aunt or grandma.<br/><br/>I know I had a point here but I've just confused myself. Oh yeah, 21 years difference and being younger than your step-daughter is just wrong. LOL! My ex-sister-in-law is 30 and her husband is 51.

Marrying a girl in your daughter's graduating class is pretty icky too. *LOL* Even if she's "older" by a whopping 6 months. Imagine calling her "mom". I don’t know.

Never heard of manther but I like it. And Terrio, now I want to wash out my brain. What gets me is when a guy marries someone younger than his children. Somehow, that's really ick-worthy.

I'd never heard of that. Then I'd never heard of Cougar until earlier this year when someone had to explain it to me.<br/><br/>Hey, JT has rythme. Can you imagine? As long as he doesn't do that Michael Jackson high pitched voice thing...<br/><br/>I think you have to take "old man butt" into account. Do you really want to be cuddling up to his saggy 70-year old a$$ when you're 45? I'd think not. Manthers?! I’d never heard of that.

Conditioning as Terri said. I don't believe it quite so much in contemporaries...mainly because I do spend much of my time scoffing at Michael Douglass and Catherine Zeta-Jones AND Donald Trump and whatever fetus he's currently married to. Both those men ick me out.<br/><br/>However in Sense & Sensibility, I absolutely LOVED Colonel Branden. Granted, it was probably because it was Alan Rickman--and I'd date him in a heartbeat--but I'm guessing it's not up to me to like or dislike older men and younger women. Obviously there are women who do prefer older men--go for it. Whatever. <br/><br/>I, myself, probably would at least sleep with Justin Timberlake. *LOL* Or at least Orlie, who's in the same decade. I find myself liking the younger crowd the older I get. (Whereas when I was 18, I thought all those rakish 30 year olds were oh so sexy. I just have to say: I was an idiot.) Being men, regardless of age, act about 17--you might as well get the newer model and train him to pick up his old socks than pick an old one who doesn't care if everything is left out everywhere. Plus young ones "recover" quicker...and that has its uses for a single girl in her 30s.<br/><br/>You know how "cougar" in the word for an older woman who chases young, impressionable men? Yes, men have a word too--you know, the guy who is 45 if he's a day, in college bars, trying to pick up 18-year-old college sorority recruits?--MANTHERS. Those men are called Manthers. There's your word of the day. Use it well. In historicals, I don’t mind the older factor quite so much. Conditioning as Terri said.

Girls could be married off at 12 in medieval times. How old was Lydia in P & P? 15 or 16? Nowadays we have to make the heroine at least 18 so we feel she's "legal" and the romance plot isn't some form of child abuse or manipulation. At 18 many girls had been married several years and had several children (and I'm not talking about Loretta Lynn). Keira, you make an excellent point about maturity through the ages.

Clearly, I wasn't found under a cabbage leaf. In conjunction with what Janga said, as I’ve grown older, I’ve become more and more comfortable with the thought of my parents having sex.
