Just been reading an article online about how the idea that "men get better looking with age" is a bit of a myth and - whilst there's obviously exceptions - most successful relationships involve partners who are fairly similar in age.
However... it then goes on to present George Clooney as an example of an attractive older man, who married someone "age appropriate".
However... Amal is seventeen years younger than George. Strictly speaking, biologically, he is old enough to be her dad. Now, I'm not going to knock their relationship - I don't doubt they love each other very much, got together for all the right reasons and deserve to be together, more power to them, etc, etc. But are they really a good example of a man marrying someone "age appropriate" or rather the exact opposite: another a male celebrity being able to partner up with someone much younger (the very thing the article holds up George and Ama as being a refreshing antidote to)?
What do you think? What kind of gap constitutes "age appropriate" for someone middle-aged?
