According to a survey by dating website Elite Singles, 20-something men actually have a preference for older women three to six years older than themselves.The biological theory has always been men prefer younger women because they are likely to bear more children, while women prefer older men because they offer resources and stability.I guess I'm kind of an expert in this arena because I've been involved with a younger man for the past two and a half years. He's 23 years younger, which is probably a bigger gap than most couples.The crazy thing is how perfectly suited we are to each other and how well we match on every level, even though, on the surface, it would seem like we'd have very little in common.As of tomorrow, we'll have been living together for two and a half years.

However, the rise of the "older woman-younger man" relationship has loosened this relationship convention and instead celebrates the age-gap romance.And remember, it's kind of sexy when a man feels empowered enough to discuss his feelings.There are enough hurdles to making a relationship work, however old you are, so why let age add more stress?I was hoping for someone to have great sex with, to join on dates and take a vacation with a couple of times a year.Even when Stephen and I first got together, I assumed it would be temporary.
