We're so tired of hearing the terms "cougar" and "Mrs. Robinson." Guess what: plenty of older women are attractive and a great catch and don't have to pounce on and attack their mates like a fresh piece of meat. And why isn't there a male equivalent for "cougar"? Let's please put the term to rest and celebrate 10 famous May-December romances that have survived the test of time.

    If one is hell-bent on finding TRUE love, one must be willing to look and go beyond the tradition and common standards like age. Maybe that's why some spend a lifetime looking and waiting, common standards, peer pressure, and other crappy stuff set ultimately pathetic limits that further narrow down the already short list.

    I am certainly happy for these people and as long as they are comfortable with the age difference as two consenting adults, why should it matter? One thing that I find to be somewhat offensive when it comes to older women dating younger men is the term "cougar". SNL has an entire skit centered around these kind of women and many have found it highly offensive for anyone regardless of their age or sex. I mean if there is a term for the older dame dating a younger dude then why is there not the same for an older guy dating a younger gal?

    What is the age differece for Tim Robins and Susand Sarandon. I think they are very close in age. One you should include is Ellen and her wife, Portia. They are 15+ years apart. If I was Demi I would worry Ashton would fall for Rumors, her daughter, they are much closer in age.

    Yeah, let's see how long these couples can withstand the celebrity barrage of inquisition. Some of them haven't even been together 10 years. I'll be impressed if they can make it to 20 years.

    The reason Ashton and Demi work is because she allows him other women...and sometimes shares them. But this too shall end.
