* In the movie The Good Girl, Jennifer Aniston's character, a 30-year-old discount-store clerk, hooks up with a 22-year-old stock boy played by Jake Gyllenhaal. In real life, many older female celebs are robbing the cradle as well. Current May/December couplings include Sandra Bullock, 38, and actor Ryan Gosling, 22; Madonna, 44, and Guy Ritchie, 34; and Courteney Cox Arquette, 38, and David Arquette, 31. So we asked Cosmo readers, would you date a younger dude?
YES: age is just a number
Women 76% Men 87%
"My husband was only 19 when I met him, and I was 25. I had serious reservations about dating someone who was that young, but his sweet personality won me over." --Kim, 30
"Guys have always dated younger women, so why can't we turn the tables and have some fun too? Besides, you can date an older guy who turns out to be more immature than your little brother." --Shari, 30
"There has always been a stereotype that men don't mature as fast as women, but I think that's often a myth. We should give these younger guys a chance. Who knows who they will grow into with you by their side." --Samantha, 21
"I'd do a younger dude! I mean, hard body, that young carefree attitude, maybe even a shred of innocence left. I'd be prime for some corrupting. And ooooh, those abs!" --Jen, 26
