I am a visual creature, all men are. But I tend to be even more so. I am naturally a younger looking guy. Ugly fucks like Jay-Z is wifing up Beyonce, and truth be told, they look natural together, no matter what people say about his looks. Not that I am looking for someone 12 years younger. I will say it this way, of course love is not based on just looks, if it were so, all men would be wifing up older women, why is it that men go for younger and women go for older in general. We are talking generation after generation after generation from all cultures and walks of life, some greater gap than others. Check the stats.
I admit 2 year gap isn't TOO MUCH on the surface, I've seen many happily ever after's, or at least ones that lasted quiet a bit. Beckhams are doing it... so far. But seriously, looks do play part. Would you be with a woman that looks or may end up looking 10 years older than you? They say men are shallow, but women would not want to look older than their hubbies either, it's damaging to the soul.
