Men:Will u marry lady 10 yrs older

[Incal]

He's probably Belgian pretending to be Italian. Or a Italian-Belgian from Charleroi who has been Belgified.

There's an airport there right?

The most important thing to do before arguing against a person's position is to understand his position. I'm not saying 20 year old women are being swept off their feet by 40 year old men. I am saying that the likelihood of that happening is enormous compared with the opposite, which is almost unimaginable. I said that to illustrate a point, which is that men want, and go for, women younger than them, while it's generally the opposite for women. As much as it generally bothers women, fact is that men desire fertility in a woman, which is ephemeral with women.

I don't know where do you live, but these cases are not so common.

There is. Charleroi also has among the largest Italian communities in Belgium.

That graph shows exactly what I have been saying all along. Women are more likely to marry men who are older than younger (and men marry younger women rather than older women). Thanks for going out of your way to prove yourself wrong so I don't have to put too much effort into it.

I thought we were talking about let's say 10+ age differences; not about 0-5 years - it is nothing.

I don't know whether or not I'm having my leg pulled at this point.

Yes, if personality and sexuality compatibility is there. Although I'm not that young myself, so if I want biological children that could be somewhat a issue. Albeit if this person was really "the one" I wouldn't hesitate still, adoption is always a possibility.

Let's count; according to that graph 76,6% of all marriages is closed between people who are +-5 yo younger/older than their partner.
And our discussion started with this:

Come on be realistic. A man in his 40's is usually divorced, has children, his social statutes is nothing special... this is really not a Mr. Big for young girls. Such a man usually has no change...

You:

Those divorced men have a much higher likelihood of re-marrying than their female counterparts, and they usually go for girls younger than themselves.

Me:

It depends who are girls according to you.

...

And no, we don't have to continue with this ...

The left side of the graph is far, far higher. It's really simple and I shouldn't have to argue this.

If + 2-5 years mean something for you then you are absolutely right.
