Have you seriously not heard the terms "sugar baby/daddy" and "trophy wife" before? They're not exactly new. Here's a google ngrams: http://tinyurl.com/zyohtp3



I don't know when to apply these terms. Most of my male friends have younger partners and make at least twice as much them. It happens when a software programmer dates outside of tech.

EDIT: wow! Trophy wives took off in 1990.


Both terms are much older than the 90s.
