Dating age gap psychology

Life is interesting because I'm essentially one life station ahead of her all the time. When she started her career I had just finally landed my first "real" job. This has simultaneously kept me feeling useful and kept me feeling younger than my years.

We’ve been together for 3 years and I just recently proposed to her.

I'm going to make a general statement, and I'm annoyed that I have to say this, but I understand that general statements don't apply person to person.

Girls typically care more about status than guys do.

(No really, I do.) She is young, and her man is 40-something.

I know there are a lot of large age gaps in dating these days - it's totally acceptable. Especially...do you feel about dating women who are a good 12-13 years younger than you?
