Yeah, but if you factor in the rate of maturity of men and women, it adds another 5 years to the gap... I once went out with a guy who was only 6 months younger and he was TOO Young - big baby really. That's probably why I like older men - around 10 or more years older than me is usually about right...
Sometimes though the older guys are just as immature as the younger ones. I worked with a guy who was 45... only dated 18-24 year olds.. acted like an 18-24 yarold. The say that a guy dates a woman who's maturity level matches his. I have gone out with older guys who where just as immature as the guys my age or younger. I know a few guys who are younger and are more mature than a 50 year old. Yes age does not really mater but to say that older men are more mature is really not so true either. The one that really baffles me is the late Tony Randle who wsa 80 something and his wife was 30 something. That I just do not get.
