OT but related, I did a search and saw pictures of Art Bell with his young wife. It does creep me out when man marries a much younger woman (over a decade). My wife (in my first and last and current marriage) is 2 years younger than me. When I was a kid it used to baffle me how gay men wouldn't be attracted to a beautiful woman. Silly, I know. Now, in my middle age, I wonder how adult men over the age of 35 could be attracted to a significantly younger woman (e.g., 10 years or more). The older my wife gets the more attractive she is to me. She seems more womanly. I've never told her this because she'll think I'm bullsh*tting her. Nonetheless it's true. As the question goes, "At what age do you think women are the most beautiful?" My answer, "The age of my wife."
I don’t get it either. I’m a 50 something woman and no man who is in his 20s or 30s is attractive to me. Not in the sense that I would want to be with him in “that way”. There’s something not quite right about it. Of course it’s not pedophilia but it’s in the spectrum somewhere IMO.
Btw, I know this includes Trump, but it’s his third marriage and Melania is almost 50. His first marriage was to Ivana, who was previously married before marrying Trump. Trump’s first marriage mistake.
So you wonder how a 40 y/o man could be attracted to a 25 - 30 y/o woman, or a 50 y/o man to a 35-40 y/o woman? ...or a 60 y/o to a 45-50 y/o? A 10 to 15 year age difference is far from significant, especially the older one gets.
A 50 year difference (as in the case of Art Bell and his wife) is another matter entirely. That's significant. But I have no problem with it. More power to them if they're happy.

Does this really puzzle you?
What a nice husband your wife has!
