Okay, so you're in your 40s. You have begun developing an appreciation of your own mortality. What's more, you have come to understand at a gut-level that you aren't the main character. Pretty young people call you "sir" or "ma'am" when you are forced to interact with them at the check out counter. You wear sensible shoes, drive sensible transportation...And ACT in the most nonsensical ways possible.
This is because people resist the idea of aging, and they pick one or two things that they think clinging to will somehow help them avoid getting old and dying.
1. Sex: This is the most prevalent and most obvious one. You ditch your spouse for someone 20 years younger, and try desperately to ignore the fact that you look fucking RIDICULOUS. You're a pathetic joke, and you can see it in your new toy's eyes, every time he or she sees you naked. He/she has a body like a rubber band, and you are all droopy. He/she aren't with you because you're a stallion/cougar, sweetheart. You are a meal ticket, and all your friends are laughing at you.
2. Partying: The club creeper. Nuff said. YOU LOOK FUCKING STUPID AND MORE THAN A LITTLE CREEPY. When the women all go into the bathroom, they're talking about you. Only not in a good way. They're talking about how you look like their nasty old uncle. And they're laughing, in a nervous, creeped out way. And when they leave the club, they do so in large groups, because YOU might be in the parking lot. If you want to go tie one on, great. If you want to go dancing, great. There are all-ages clubs everywhere. Leave the kids alone, you're freaking them out.
3. Toys: It is one of God's little jokes that states that if you are old enough to afford a Mustang, you fucking LOOK STUPID IN ONE. Nobody is admiring you or even feeling envious while you drive it. They are shaking their heads and laughing at you. Note that this differs from a hobby, such as car restoration, etc. If you're driving a Studebaker, everyone thinks you're a cool old man/woman. If you're driving a Hummer, they fucking hate you.
These are all symptoms of NOT ACTING YOUR AGE. By this, I definitely do NOT mean "calm down and shut up", I mean, "Have the kind of fun you want NOW, not the kind of 'fun' you had two fucking decades ago". You MIGHT get old. You ARE going to die. Stop trying to be something you aren't, and fucking LIVE while you STILL CAN, you stupid bastards.
Christ.
Or Kill Me.
Incidentally, the OP doesn't mean that relationships with a large age difference can't work, or that they are all based on mid-life crisises..
But that's how you bet.

It's a safe bet. I imagine they almost always don't end well anyway due to differences in where they are in life and maturity level.

A 45 year old has NOTHING in common with a 20 year old.
If they do, it's usually a symptom that something is very wrong with one of them. Occasional exceptions occur, but we're talking a TINY fraction, here.
Hey, what's wrong with middle-aged sex?

I made a podcast about that very subject.
When I get home, I'll post the link.

A few of the collection really suck. We were playing around with ideas, and some of them were funny, and some fell flat. I have left them all up in a binge of masochism.
