In my experience age difference IS a big factor.
Not to me, to those I am attracted to.

Yes, I am attracted to younger women. NOT because they are younger but because they are of childbearing years. I believe it is only natural for virile men of any age to be attracted to women who are able to bear children. Not that I actually want more kids...

But, when a woman 15 years younger rejects me using the excuse that I am too old for her why does she then marry a man 4 years older than me?
