Wine and Cheese?

An interesting research shows that even when men are in their late 40s, they carry on looking at the profiles of women age 20 to 24 (women, by contrast look at older men's profiles as they get older). Where do 50-year-old men get this impression that they could date a 23-year-old? When New York magazine looked at the careers of 10 leading actors, it found that as they aged, their onscreen love stories didn't. Take Liam Neeson. In 1990, he appeared alongside Frances McDormand, who was five years younger than he's. By the time he starred in "Third Person" in 2013, the 61-year-old Neeson's lover was played by 29-year-old Olivia Wilde. We are socialised into thinking that men are like wine, they get better with time. Whereas women are like cheese, they get blue veins and start to stink.
