When his prostrate gives him trouble as he ages then it's not just a number. When he's too tired to go out and she wants to she then has to go without him and that's not just a number. When he wants to go to bed early because he's too tired and she's up and raring to go age is just not a number. When the younger one is clueless to the older ones memories of things society did when the older was younger it's not just a number as there is no one there to reminisce with.
Age is not just a number it's a real part of life and can be very lonely when the older person is too tired to do anything with you any more.
That's fine when you are young and I have too and did too when I was young but when you are in your 50's and your significant other in then in their 70's it's a massive difference in health and vitality and frankly to many men....sex. Their bodies can't do what it use to. Viagra is not the answer to a man that has prostate problems and is waking you all night long or has to run in somewhere to go pee. Age difference does catch up.
Age, while not entirely indicative of whether or not two people make a good match, is an indicator of one's station in life. The example of Hugh Hefner is a compelling one. Many would argue that Hefner is a disgusting, dirty old man who preys on the financial neediness of much younger, but very pretty girls who don't have enough world or life experience to see the situation clearly. While he is in a different station in life than his many girlfriends -- completely beyond childbearing years even though he could still impregnate a woman, with grandchildren and great grandchildren the ages of his girlfriends, an extremely successful and wealthy man -- from a relative standpoint, he IS in the same station as many of the women he dates. He doesn't need money because he's all set in that respect (many times over). His hobbies and interests directly align with the young girls he's with.
This situation is NOT true of most men over 45 who date women from 18-25. For most of those situations, there is brokenness. Many of the men who leave their frigid wives for a sexy twenty-year-old are not cognizant of what it is they are really doing. While I am the first to say that if you're not happy with your spouse, you should work toward finding that happiness... my statement does not...

While I am the first to say that if you're not happy with your spouse, you should work toward finding that happiness... my statement does not mean that your happiness is justification for you to devastate your spouse and children by hunting for girls too young to appreciate what a family is. It's not sufficient to weep and sob that your spouse no longer provides marital favors and that your needs are so neglected. Most young girls would certainly enjoy being found sexier and more desirable than a middle-aged mother with stretch marks and sagging breasts and a damaged psyche and libido from twenty-ish years of never measuring up.
Two sides to every problem: if your wife won't have sex with you, perhaps that's a YOU kind of problem. Perhaps she's tired of providing your sexual gratification for two decades while you never concern yourself with whether or not she is being sexually fulfilled. It's easy to enjoy a quick romp with a young girl who knows well how to fake an orgasm -- actually looking at your wife, caring at all, and wanting HER to be pleasured and satisfied will take a good bit of work on your part. It's just a shame that most men don't see the value in that effort.
For aging, middle-aged women, it's far too easy to point religious or angry fingers at your husband and claim that their sexual needs are base and primitive. You can't evolve past a need for sexual intimacy anymore than you could evolve beyond a need for food (though many try). Sure, he hasn't brought you to orgasm in twenty-ish years, but is that his fault? Or is it perhaps possible that all the times that you faked orgasm to get the dirty business over quickly has left him with an incorrect assumption that you don't like sex? It takes strength, courage and a knowledge that you deserve a healthy sex life every bit as much as your husband ever did and it's a damned shame that it took so long to say something about it.
How does this related to age? It is just a number, a relative number that indicates a person's station in life. It stops being just a number when people are specifically choosing a mate based on that number.
legally...it matters greatly in all areas of life....marriage, military service, insurance premiums retirement....
as far as maturity and wisdom.....why then...it can become just a number...and some will reach that achievement at an earlier number and some will never ever reach that number....
compatibility in marriage statistically is usually based on numbers....but that gap usually can widen with increased age.....not grand canyon wide mind you...but certainly less important with mutually older people.
Yes, girls seem to like older guys now, but it's really clear these girls are just hardcore money grubbers! Like they would give him the time or day if he was in a retirement home.
And a tornado is just a wind, and an earthquake is just a little friction, and cancer is just a few extra cells. Yeah, I get what you're saying, but one can always choose to be young at heart.
Everyone ages differently. My father at 92 still plays golf albeit not as well as he used to... As for me? Well, I am doing great. But sometimes I notice it takes me a bit longer to do once what I used to do all night long...
We are all way too hung up on concepts such as age and people ore to obsessed with judging others' actions. If the individuals involved are adults, it is for them to decide. If the age difference doesn't matter to them, then it's not important.
Age is just a number until it comes to maturity. Speaking from experience when there is a major age difference it does. If just a few years then no. It is called life experiences, too many differences.
Whoever says this is not being honest- I'm in my fifth decade of life and I'll tell you this, I felt a lot better in my fourth decade and a whole lot better in my 30s. Not to talk about looks!
Age is not just a number it's a real part of life and can be very lonely when the older person is too tired to do anything with you any more.

The general rule (as the older person) for social acceptance is half your age plus 8.
So a 20 year old can date an 18 year old.
A 30 year old can date a 23 year old.
A 40 year old can date a 28 year old.
so on and so forth.
But for me, as long as both members are happy and consenting, who am I to judge.
Stay in shape only so long, lots depends on your genetics.
Anybody says different is lying unto them selves
Mentally, you may be one of the lucky ones and still have a sharp mind, but other senses start to lessen.
Don’t be a fool and think it won’t happen to me.
Best old age life (golden years) is understand your age and having fun within that realm.
