in most of the 10+ year age difference couples I know irl, the woman has power/money and is the older member of the couple
@ehBeth,
Mariah is single now and that relationship did not make it many years. Of all of those examples only Tina Turner has executed a long term relationship with a much younger man.
@hawkeye10,
Even when the age difference is small, divorce rates are high.
@hawkeye10,
a couple of them have gone for even younger men since that was created
my personal favourite was always Mary Tyler Moore and her lovely doctor husband

Maybe it was short but hot!!
Age is a number. You can connect with someone no matter how you old are, and how old he/she is. The thing is, you have to connect I think on intellectual and emotional levels, not physical. If that happens, who is anyone to judge? Yes, you will change a lot (nothing says he won't either, regardless of the fact that he is 44). If you've developed that connection with someone, though, you will care about how they are changing and you can participate in it, which is pretty damn exciting. Even if it doesn't turn out to be "relationship love" but just "friends love", and age-gap relationship can be as rewarding as any other, even if maybe you say "How weird is it..." from time to time. The fact that you think of him as a "dirty old perve" suggests a lack of respect, though, that probably isn't the best foundation no matter if you're 26 years apart of the born on the same day.
@chelsieshay,
NO Love is Love. Don't listen to them. Be safe though. I am 18, my best buddy is 47. Go for it! You only live once dontcha know!

I can t remember changing,

Well put it to you this way -- when I was in my 20s I would travel the world -- (ie no kids) - I would do crazy things for example hang upside down in a bar like a fish (for some reason at this bar in Mexico they would do this if you were willing hang you by your feet and it seemed like a good idea at the time) and then do a shot. Stuff like that.
Now I have two kids so I need to be a bit more mature and responsible - I think they would freak if they knew I did that -- can't wait to some day show them maybe when I am a grandparent --
I could not see me hanging like fish and doing a shot now --- no I probably I would do it.
Maybe you are right David - maybe you don't change that much.

It was not much shorter than her other relationships....probably cheaper too, since she didn't waste her money on divorce.

I 'm not sure if my throat muscles work that way.

I think, as a kid, my personality was already developed,
as it is now.

To a certain degree...yes. But-- you've refined the process since then. It's the details that matter in the end.
@OmSigDAVID,
Yeah I was hanging, the waiter kind of holds your head up and supports it while they pour the shot in your mouth - it isn't a full shot and they hold your head as it ain't good business to have their customers drown or choke on a shot of tequila.
@Germlat,
Yeah I enjoyed my youth - I would enjoy old age too, if the kids didn't get in the way.
I think they would be shocked if they knew. They think I am boring and stuff like that even though I told them I am a hot mamma - they say that is just wrong.
At my daughter's sweet sixteen, they had the karaoke set up - the kids were hestitating and I said hey mom and dad will sing a duet if no one else wants to get up - the littler one screams NO! I think she would be horrified to have us sing in front of all the teens.

What woud Isaac Newton have to say about that ?
It sounds like the process requires the shot to go
UP your throat into your stomach,
in
defiance of gravity; maybe pumped up there by your throat muscles ??
@izzythepush,
That was b4 the Law of Gravity was enacted.
