Didn't work for me. My ex-wife was almost 5 yrs older than myself. Was great when I was younger, and in college (the envy of my dorm mates) but when we got married and decided to have children, it all changed. Like a light switch, she totally changed. Maybe she felt she had it all and didn't have to try any more. Housekeeping skills lacked, personal hygiene and bathing slid, and sex, well she didn't have time for that. For a woman of 40, she acted like 65. It wasn't long before I got off that train. Saw her recently, and, no lie, she looks 75 years old. Man, did she go down hill fast. I'm sure there are some awesome older women out there but with my bad experience, I need someone with a younger spirit, and high energy level. Yes, I know there are some older women with those qualities as well. I'm not looking for a relationship so, no need to ponder the positives and negatives anymore. And, it's a great feeling.
