IT must be a city thing Cream.
It seems that people in the larger cities really don't blink an eye at age differences, race differences, religious differences, etc. in relationships.
The age difference between Tom and Katie would occassion no comment in Manhatten.
Nor would a race difference. *shrug*
It might be a lack of exposure in people. Many people have very little exposure to couples with large statistical differences.
I say statistical because thats what people will usually focus on: religion, race, age, financial status etc. The various things that we use to categorize and define people we don't know personally as human beings.

There is an even greater age difference between my fiance and me.  And we're not icky either.
I see couples who have a significant age difference (10+ years) between them in NYC all the time. It's not a big deal so maybe New Yorkers are just used to it, don't care, or have better things to do with their time.
Now back to dishing Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes!
