Sure. Until you start to wonder what a 20-year-old yoga instructor wants with a man twice her age, or what they have to converse about with so little life experience in common. Not that relationships with large age differences necessarily fail. Some people are just more mature for their age. But a midlife crisis relationship is very frequently transparently reliant on sex-sex-and-only-sex, and thus is not really built to last. It's great for a bit, but then she leaves you for the 22-year-old surfing instructor, and then where are you?
Yeah, I was going to say... A 20 year old dating a guy in his 40s? There's not much there there, and it'll probably fall apart after the first initial bout of sex, when she realises that he can't keep up with her over the long haul.
(I've noticed this myself -- with my disability, in terms of my energy level, I'm basically like a person in late middle age, and I'm only in my early 30s. So when dating people my own age, I've found they often just move too fast for me. A distinct lack of hilarity often ensues.)
