What is the age difference in YOUR current relationship? (see BN couples comparison)

I think "more mature" means he is ok with dating a younger woman, but not his own age. Women who date older for "maturity" usually find men their own age prefer younger and won't commit to THEM (ie are "immature" because they aren't ready for marriage with THEM), so date older because they have to in order to find a dating pool that would commit to women her age. It's changing, but a lot of men still only want to date younger or much younger women and a lot of women are still taught to look for older so they are more appreciated and he is less likely to stray. I was taught this growing up (even though I found men even 5 years older to be too old) and it's very old fashioned thinking... we have to be the more physically attractive and younger or else he will replace us.
