I'd be curious to hear what the women have to say about these men when they've had a chance to become older and "wiser." I'd also be curious to hear what the men think about their younger wives once they start to show the effects of age and if this sends them on a quest to find an even younger trophy wife.

The marriage one went like so... Smart man + smart woman = romance Smart man + dumb woman = affair Dumb man + smart woman = marriage Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy I got a funny email that once depicted, pretty accurately by my opinion, the results of relationships based on their intelligence level.

If people can't own up to their own damn relationship, they probably shouldn't have gotten into one in the first place. People have always sucked at communicating one's own feelings, have honesty issues, or are just too damn lazy to fix problems that happen long after they have been ignored when they first popped up. But then again, I'm not in a relationship, and hell if I ever plan on being in one. Forget what the statistics say, all they are good at most of the time is recognizing coincidental data.

It's not about the age of the wife, it's about the maturity of the husband. Males need to learn to grow up sooner, so that women won't be dropping them left and right!

Chances are a woman who is older getting into a relationship is more educated and have different priorities then a younger one without a career that’s less independant.
