Actually PLaw, I agree it is now and IMHO at least for many years to come, will always be more "acceptable" for the older man/younger woman scenario (Although I know it is becoming more and more common). However, I don't know that it's necessarily that men age better than woman.
I don't think like a man, so I can only make assumptions that maybe in his older years a man still likes the challenge of being able to connect with/date/marry a younger woman; or maybe its the famous mid-life crisis; or an ego thing??? Or maybe they just find themselves attracted only to young women??? But, like I said, I do think that for whatever the reason, it IS more acceptable in society. (i.e.: If it was Bruce Willis with a 20 yr old babe, it wouldn't be such a big deal.)
All that being said, I think some sort of age limit is advisable. When you get someone in their 20/30's marrying someone in their 80's, it just seems laughable.
