20 to 30 year age differences. I know at least 4 couples where he is 20 to 30 years older than she is. One couple got married when they were both graduate students, one couple he's quite rich but she comes from money (although not as much as his), one couple she was working as a travel agent and he kept bouncing from job to job (finally settled down working at a casino and has been there for 15 years now), and one she just finished dental school and he's a professor when the got married.

Personally, I don't understand the attraction from either side.
