Meg. if you are so secure in your relationship, what are you doing looking up this stuff on-line?

Also the "more and more people you meet" does not make or break a trend in society.

I'd also like to see how long some of these marriages last, especially once aging sets in.

The vast majority of romantic partnerships between younger men and older women will not work out. That is because many of them are based on sex, appearence and trends, not to form stable family environments.

Biologically speaking, the reason why older men and younger date are because

1) Women are only fertile for a certain period of their lives. Men are attracted to women who are fertile.

2) Men are fertile for most of their lives and women have an instinct for nesting, meaning they want a man who can provide resources for the family.

I'm not convinced at all that your relationship with a man 14 years younger than you is going to lead to stability and happily ever after.

You can argue that it's not fair all you want, but it does not change the facts.
