    Much less than that if the older one is Female. Then that goes to "Cougar" status. But the more the age gap, the more "awesome" the Cougar. Funny how that works, eh?
    My wife is a total "Cougar", 4 yrs. my senior. I always remind her of that. The "senior" part that is. :emb::rofl: :lol:

    I understand Eric VW. I was in high school at the time (15), my bride was a month and half old. Oddly while I remember the news, she doesn't. :)
