I've noticed some older women are bothered by men within their age range who are partnered with younger women, and young men being bothered by their counterparts being romantically involved with older men. Are most people disapproving of this or are is it generally accepted? Does it bother you?

No. That's why I moved to Texas. I'm 75 and my wife is 16. Nobody bats an eyeball at it here.

There is a stereotype that if someone is with a partner who is significantly older than them they are only after money. Also, many people think that if your partner is much younger than you it's all about sex.
That may not be the case for all couples, but it's happened enough that people are going to be suspicious when they see a 20 (or more) year age gap.

I do think it is strange when older men ditch their long term wives for a 22 year old. I don't think it is being fair to the 22 year old who should have her whole life in front of her and probably needing a father figure. With women it just isn't done usually to hook up with a much younger man except for people like Liz Taylor and other hollywood types. These unions fizzle out fast. But to each their own!

I remember an advice that I never took heed. It said that men should marry women who are at least 7 years younger. The man, being older gets the respect of the younger wife because of maybe the wisdom and respect of being older,
On the oher hand, I don't go with older women with men who are too young. The younger men usually are mamas' boys in life, or they end up wearing the skirts around the house. They will claim to be the man of the house, and have the final word on everything. . . . ."Yes, dear."

A Great No!
I was 18 YO when I got marriage to my husband whose aged was twice my aged. In fact, this is an advantage because besides as I considered him as my husband, lover, friend, I also considered him as my father to me where I felt freely ask his advises when needed. He treated me like his baby!
Now, we're married for 7 years and we're blessed with 5 yo son and our married relationship still getting stronger and stable that we survived all crises we have been facing and now we reached common goal to achieve happy family. We respect each other and understand each other. We have often communication that helps us more closer.

It is much more acceptable today than ever. I admit that it could be embarassing when people assume you are out with your son or father, and it is actually a boyfriend. But hopefully they will learn their lesson if they say anything that is embarassing.
Many guys date younger women, and more mature women are dating younger men than ever before so even that is becoming main stream...ever heard of cougars?

If there was more than a 10 year difference, I think that is kind-of weird. Depends on the maturity level.

No it doesn't bother me. I'm 10 years younger than husband.
Don't let others' opinions bother you.

Nope, doesn't bother me a bit!

You will love who you love and age is just a number.
