Issues of competence arise, of course, as do insecurities and fear of "attractive" women (women in one's age group). Most likely such men have never had healthy relationships with women their own age (or younger); most have clung to their mother and see the new older woman as a substitute. Sexual attraction is generally lacking in such relationships as the man simply wants to continue the lifestyle he enjoyed with mom. Women in their forties and fifties will flame me, I'm certain, but our neurobiology is what it is -- men are programmed to be attracted to young, attractive women of childbearing age. That is not to say that a relationship between a man and a woman twenty years his elder cannot be satisfying; it is just a different sort of relationship that what biology intended. Love you all.
