in response to reader comment: Age is but a number to Straight_Talk_Luigi

To some extent I would Margaret, because age difference is an issue.

For one thing, Margaret, the reason you see older men with younger women are because women are only fertile for part of their lives, and younger women tend to be more fertile than older women.

Secondly, whoever is the oldest in the relationship will most likely experience aging the soonest. Older men have relied on younger women to care for them.
