A lot of men, especially on online dating sites, are confused because of the age difference between him and girl or woman, who he had chosen, which is usually become the reason for the termination of communication. To my opinion, it is completely silly and I will try to explain why.
A man of forty or more years already has financial well-being, a successful career and material well-being. With such man it is initially comfortable to begin a family life. A woman realizes that a secured serious adult man can fully guarantee a stable, serious marriage in which children can be safely planned.
A man older, for example, for 15 years or more, attracts with his serious attitude towards life and marriage. He appreciates the family comfort and all the preferences of the family life. Such men are wiser, they have previous experience of personal relationships. They are able to compromise.
If a man is much older, he is more experienced in dealing with women. He knows how to make pleasant to her, what gifts and flowers to give. After marrying an older man, woman feels herself under the tutelage and patronage. Almost 100% of the leadership in such alliance will be on a man. He will have the decision-making and leadership role.
With young wife, man feels much younger. He begins monitor his health and appearance to match his wife. He has an influx of energy and positive energy.
In the 19th century, Alexander Pushkin wrote: "Love of all ages is submissive ...". The ages replace each other, but love remains. Only mutual respect, tact and wisdom will help to keep this feeling for years.
The age difference is just only numbers. Let them remain on paper!
