My husband and I met another couple and chit chatted for a while. My husband had never met either person before. When we left he asked how old were they. I told him I didn't know. Well, he then says "She looks older than him!" I agreed. I said it seems that they have been together for a while because they have two children but I am not sure if she is older or it just looks that way. It got me to thinking.....is looking older than your husband a bad thing? We didn't talk anymore about it, but just the fact he asked me that made me wonder. Do you want your wife to look younger than you? Do you want to look younger than your husband? I think I kinda do (want to look younger). No one has ever told me I look older than my husband, but I think I might feel some kinda way about that, especially since I am 2 years younger than him. I am not saying that it's a bad thing to look older than your man, especially since we are in an age where more older women are dating & marrying younger men. I am just asking, would it bother you if someone made that comment?

This is why most aging women rely on plastic surgery. Procedures such as these make them look younger, or at least boost their confidence to make them feel beautiful despite their age. :)
Yes it sometimes stings! I am 3 years older than my hubby and i am, uhmmm, a little chubbier than he is, which adds to me looking older than him and what my real age is. His friends, our colleagues (yeah we work for the same company), actually ... everyone says "She looks older." But I know he loves me just the way I am. He's got a thing with older women ever since, actually, his first crush is his primary teacher....lol.... BTW, I am his first and last GF. am I not lucky?...and I love him with all my heart so I choose not to think about me looking older than him too much...
I am 12 years older than my husband and everyone says we look the same age .but I know that is going to change at some point and I hate it. I love him very much and know he loves me .but will that change when I start looking older than him .ya IT bothers me
Like the other commenter I too am a few years older than my husband. I am almost in my 40s but people's jaws literally DROP when I tell them my age. Almost everyone I meet thinks I am in my late 20s to early 30s. My hubby is about 7 years yonger than me and is in his early 30s but LITERALLY looks like he could pass for 16 or 17 years old! I am so not kidding. He just has really really good genes plus he is part Chinese so those Asian genes mean he will NEVER age lol. It's really funny - I never give our age difference much thought and it's not that I look older than my age- it's just that he looks so much younger than he is. I know that often times when we are out together it must look scandalous but honestly I don't feel like I catch a lot of heat for being a Mrs. Robinson. People seem to accept us wherever we go but there are definately times where some people must think--- is she with her teenage son or what the? I know we look tremendously inappropriate but what can you do? I'm not going to stop living my life and loving my husband lol. I think too, maybe most people just assume oh he must be one of those guys who just looks really young. I mean we both work full-time and are homewoners and both have post graduate degrees. We also have 2 beautiful children that are generally crawling all over us when we do go out. But yes, I do need to drop a few pounds and he could probably stand to gain some lol- weight (too much or too little) is certainly a primary control of the aging process (along with sun damage, smoking, and alcohol intake... and of course genetics). Also- I really don't think cosmetic surgery makes anyone look younger.... just... stranger. The best thing you can do for yourself is to be about 10 pounds below your ideal weight, build muscle, wear sun screen, stay hydrated, and eat protein and fresh fruits and vegetables. Also- love yourself, smile, meditate, and walk for an hour daily. And, take a greater interest in others than yourself and become interesting. READ! :D
My wife and I are the same age within months, my family has great genes and are very long lived (we have a few centurions), my wife already looks older and tired all the time, her poor face is just sliding down.
I hate to be so shallow, but I really enjoyed having an attractive woman on my arms, and I know she enjoyed my admiration of her long gone beauty.
From a male perspective, I think men should marry at least five years younger in order to have balance as the couple ages. If you google "husband looks better than wife" you will see there are studies detailing this fact.
And if anyone is wondering, yes, all men are shallow. But I have a feeling all women are too if you could hear their thoughts.
I am 3 years older than my husband, and in the last couple of weeks two people thought he was my son. How depressing is that? Very. I am ashamed, but what can I do about it?
P.S. I cannot afford plastic surgery.
Hi i m older than m'y hasband but hé really looks younger our familly didnt sée it .but m'y coworkers say that hé look like a baby or m'y youngest brother and it kills me to hear this words
The most thing dont mâle him film that you loke older
My husband looks younger than me, despite being over 9 years older than me.
....Despite having lived a far less healthy lifestyle than I have. (Less careful with sunscreen, former big time partier, etc.)
He still gets ID'ed, and sincerely, in his 40's.
His parents and my parents give a clue.
Genetics.

I AM from UNITED STATE, my man was cheating on me since last year with his co_worker, i was upset and confused on what to do, i tried my best to win his heart back but all effort was wasted until on 21 of this February when i came across a spiritual man called DR MACK, i saw a many post about his wonderful work and i contact him via his Email and explained to him and he asked for some information which i gave him and he told me that my heart desire will be granted just in 3 days, i was skeptical but i gave me the chance to help me, to my surprise my Boyfriend called me 5 time to tell that he is so sorry and that he wants me back and wants to marry me, everything happened like a dream but i am so happy that i have my boyfriend back and we are planning to get married soon, if you want to Ex back please don’t hesitate to contact____dr_mack@yahoo.com…..
I am three years younger than my husband but I have an entirely full head of white hair. In addition to that he is a body builder and literally has no fat on him. He is 61 and I am 59 but People think he is in his 40's and I am in my 60's. People actually think he might be my son. How does it make me feel? Old. Truth is I feel old and somewhat self conscious walking down the street or sitting in a restaurant with him. I notice the odd looks I get...once a waiter actually said, "You're with him? Good for you!" I try to have a sense of humor about it but the very last thing I feel is attractive.

Dude really.... why did you even get married at all... men and women both age and you should know that you may or may not age gracefully and not the same time. You said your vows and as a man and woman you are not owning up to those vows. You love he or she for however they look. Get real. This is marriage dude!!!
The couples in my family tend to have quite large age gaps with the men 5-15 (21 in one case) years older. Some of it stems from religious reasons (they are quite traditional judeo-christian types) and the others just seem to have copied this pattern as they grew up with that being the 'norm'. It seems to work really well in both the religious and non-religious couples, as no one is divorced or unhappy as far as I can tell. The women enjoy always looking younger and hotter than the men and the men enjoy having a younger looking woman on their arm. It seems to keep the men healthier and fitter too, since they all have long and active lives. I also prefer to date older men, so it seems to have rubbed off on me too.
It's still a bit frowned on by some people, but it seems to make sense to me from a logical standpoint, as men (usually) prefer women younger than them and remain more active with higher libidos as they age, and women prefer men who have more confidence and resources who can provide stability for them to have a family.
