    That 46 year old is in decline, and that 25 year old is in their prime. They will likely have baggage, medical issues, and assorted hangups they may want to impose on the younger partner. They are possibly seeking a younger individual for predatory reasons such as someone young to have biological offspring with, that will put up with a variety of neglects, and will take care of them in the looming decades as they become more frail. All in all, a good time as consenting adults is whatever. But as a relationship? Do not recommend. You’ll be a nurse sooner than you think.

      I had a lot more baggage and assorted hangups in my twenties than forties and I’d imagine that’s not an uncommon experience. Also already had health issues, but if you’re talking long-term relationship, that would certainly become a concern after a couple decades.
