No Crap, Columbo

Marrying someone much younger only makes you seem older in the eyes of everyone else, according to a new academic study.

Being seen with someone younger, whether they be partners, friends or colleagues, emphasises rather than closes the age gap.  When someone see a mature man with a woman half his age, they estimate him to be much older than it really is because of the obvious gap, said the study.  By the same token, anyone who wants to look younger should try to be seen with older colleagues, friends or family, the research suggests.

Talk about stating the bleeding obvious.
