It matters. If the woman is more than 5 years older something odd is going on even in France.

So,guy older than gal:
Him 30,her 15===> Yikes!
Him 45,her 30===> Maybe not
Him 65,her 50===> Possibly OK
The older the individuals are the less a given difference in age matters...IMO.
Guy a lot younger than gal:
Sorry....that means Oedipus to me.

Uh, me 72, her 56. Worked for 30+ years so far. Best partner/companion/mate ever. Different circumstances=different results. Your mileage may vary. 😆👸

Mind the gap – does age difference in romantic relationships matter? "No, she can never be young enough." (per Bill Clinton & Jeffrey Epstein)

I’d be surprised if at least half of Western guys on a given flight to Thailand,the Philippines and nearby countries aren’t looking for a bit of “fun” with a 12 year old (girl *or* boy).

Pedophilia is pandemic in America -
DOJ Project Safe Childhood Pedogate is not just a U.S. monstrosity. It is satanic and an international horror show from hell.

Big Age gap matters to me....Always has...Always will. For others that’s there business as I see it.

This article is not talking about pedophilia, it’s talking about the age gap between MATURE AGED MEN and MATURE AGED WOMEN.

This is encouraging for a single geezer like me!
Some thoughts:
Once it was considered socially acceptable for a senior gent if she was half his age plus seven years.
Men being strongly visual, are attracted to younger woman. It is one thing to age along with someone, and something entirely different to enter in to a relationship later in life. Of course much later and it becomes more of an issue of companionship than physical attraction.
When she is 50-something and he is 60-something it isn’t so bad. A much greater gap and you grew up in different eras and find communication difficult. Different music, cultural norms, etc.
I recently checked out online dating. There are exactly zero younger women interested in what I have to offer, and I am not too bad for 62. It is amazing how many older women are seeking younger men. At my age, a cougar is not an aspiration. Looks like I may walk alone for a while yet. Maybe I need to go to a Trump rally.

You are correct...and many really are uninformed to how pervasive it is in the US,...as well the lack of just basic parental oversight of their children. Pedophiliacs know this.
