Last year, a study of Swedish census information suggested a 4 to 6-year age gap is best, but new research has found that in some circumstances a surprisingly large gap � 15 years � is the optimum.
Martin Fieder at the University of Vienna and Susanne Huber of the University of Veterinary Medicine, also in Vienna, Austria, studied the Swedish data and found that a simple equation related the age difference of the parents to the number of offspring. For people who had maintained monogamous relationships throughout adulthood, the most children were found in couples where the man was 4.0 to 5.9 years older than the woman.
The probable reasons behind this state of affairs are not controversial: "Men want women younger than themselves because they are physically attractive," says Fieder, while women tend to prioritise a partner who can provide security and stability, and so tend to opt for older men. |

It is great to be married to someone that is 12 years younger than you.
When I'm ready to retire we can still have some steady income for another 12 years, before she retires. |

Yes, according to scientists, women don't make good scientists.

Actually it's a fact that brain size does actually matter . The larger the brain the more potential . Therefore men are on the whole more intelligent . You don't need to look far into the REAL world to see that this is blatantly the case , however television of course sells the popular myth that men are all bumbling idiots lucky enough to have found a woman willing to tolerate them . |

Yes it's true studies show that men make better scientists and soldiers than women. Both are based upon how men and womens' brains are hardwired repectively. Men show more aptitude in being able to arrive at a conclusion whether right or wrong without help whereas women seem to seek concensus before putting their stamp on anything. In the military men have shown greater aptitude at navigation and responsible decision making with respect to the chain of command.
There isn't any superiority implied in those observations only that men and women tend to do different things more efficiently based upon their evolutionary dispositions. |

You got some stats to back that up or are your "facts" just wishful thinking? |
