Age don't matter as we know it, the only number that matters is the one in your bank account, the larger the number attracts opposite sex of low number. Inversely proportional. The maths of sugar life.

This article has a list of the more (in)famous celebrity couplings with a double-digit age difference: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/austrian-b...hmitz-celebrity-couples-huge-age-gaps-1465721

Playboy Model Cathy Schmitz, 24, Marries Austrian Billionaire, 81: 8 Celebrity Couples Bridging the Age Gap

Playboy model Cathy Schmitz, 24, recently made headlines when she got married to 81-year-old construction billionaire Richard Lugner.

The 24-year-old tied the knot with the mogul, who is 57 years her senior, in a lavish ceremony held at the Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna.

Yet, on 'Planet Showbiz' such a seemingly bizarre pairing is far from rare. Ever since Jackie Kennedy said 'I do' to the very rich and very ancient Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis, Eros has been firing his arrow of love (or something like it) across the decades.

IBTimes UK looks at some of the celebrities who famously dated outside of their age group.

I bet the Billionaire's daily medication is Viagra 3 times a day, in order to keep up with the bunny.

*honest opinion*

Age is important. As much as we would all like to say "oh they're happy, we should respect their happiness" NO. Shes happy to have money and he is happy for having a sexy woman on his arm. There is no love. 20 years difference and under ok... Its when he is 4 times her age it gets f*cked up.

Lets say for example, I see a 80 year old... do you honestly think I enjoy the time I spend with him? while he is snorting in my ear, needing my help to get on the bed and off the bed... THIS MAKES ME CRY.

WHO ARE THEY KIDDING! As if she would enjoy his company?

Come on, I am sure she enjoys a game of Strip Chess very much with her oldish hubby. Of course there's plenty love between them. But one day when the bank account dries up like the Sahara desert so will her love for him.

BS walks, yes they do.

I dunno about those 30 - 40 plus year old age gaps in the relationships but who am I to judge?

Reflecting on personal experiences, there was a 19 year old girl at work who I got on very well with and I'm 18 years older than her. I didn't ask her out because of the age differences and now she's dating someone else. I often do wonder how many people out there who are dating/married to each other with a 20 years age differences (not including those wealthy sugar daddies mentioned above) yet still makes it work?

I think it is relative. It depends on the person you ask, the time of their life when you ask that person, their past relationship experiences, their partners maturity level, and who they are attracted to. There are so many different levels to this question, and it isn't a simple black and white yes or no. I don't think people should just automatically be judged for being together when there is a HUGE age difference. I think that a young woman with an older man may appear to be all about money but 1) who are we to judge or understand the intimate details of someone else's relationship 2) many many relationships are about sex in exchange for financial support, comfort, or security (we call it "traditional" relationships) and 3) I believe it is only wrong if the person(s) involved are hurting themselves mentally, physically, or emotionally in order to get monetary or sexual compensation.

I just noticed this profile on RSVP (don't ask me what I was doing there): http://www.rsvp.com.au/profile/display.action?handle=Charlie15&uid=5010773

Sweet Pleasure - Looking for a man who adores and takes care of me, as I will too x
Hi guys :) I'm looking for someone to take care of me, spoil me and provide for me...most importantly I'm looking for love (or maybe you're looking for a doting mistress). Age is of no concern :) I do hope that this does not present myself as shallow...as I'm anything but. I want to fully enjoy life whilst studying and enjoying all the pleasures that I may not be able to otherwise whilst also giving you the woman you want x
[There are a couple of photos of a cute young thing, blonde in one, brunette in another -- seems slightly schizoid. She really doesn't care about age: her ideal partner could 18-120 yrs old.]

Doesn't this just scream SEEKING A SUGAR DADDY? Or maybe SCAM!

Age matters. It s very nice to spend time with a person of equal age. It seems to me the spiritual click is much stronger. Do not prefer a difference of 5 years or more...

Half your age-plus-seven rule: To avoid being embarrassed in public—and to stop people staring and snickering—it’s been suggested that our cultural dating rule of thumb says older men are not supposed to date women younger than half-their-age-plus-seven. For example, using this equation, a 45-year-old man shouldn’t date anyone younger than 29-and-a-half; though he can round up or down at his leisure—probably down.

Not surprisingly, some have suggested a similar equation that opens up the dating door for older men even more. Instead of half-their-age-plus-seven, the other equation is to take seven years right off the top and divide by two. This simple adjustment means a 45-year-old man could supposedly date a woman as young as 19 and still avoid being a cultural cast-off.

Well that helps me a great deal, Thanks Z
