Hmm, I think that as long as the two of you don't have a problem with it then you will be fine. I think it depends on the type of relationship you have. I am 11 years older than my boyfriend; with me, I was more shocked with his age when we first got together and felt a little "creepy". He assured me that age was just a number and didn't matter. My family and friends made the little snide remarks and things, but I just ignored them. For him, he became a little more concerned when we got more serious and his family kept telling him that I was a phase. We even broke up over it for a little bit.
We have been together for a year now and have BOTH gown up a lot. I feel that women are looked down upon more for dating younger men. The only difference that should matter at all is if the couple wants children. Men can keep producing children well into their 80's where women have a much shorted time frame. This has been a concern of mine due to the fact that I am 32 and don't want to rush my s/o into anything he is not ready for yet.
We deal and things are great between us.
Anyway, people should just stop criticizing others and work on themselves for a change. Don't worry what others think and all will be well.
