I haven't noticed it. I know a guy well into his 50s who says "girlfriend" and she's of similar age.

  You "haven't noticed it" because you know ONE guy? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anecdotal_evidence http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anecdotal_evidence

    Translated: I know many people, and none of them refer to their significant other as a 'partner.' For example, I know one guy that is 50, who refers to his same-aged significant other as his 'girlfriend,' and it doesn't seem to bother him that 'girl' is in the name instead of 'woman.'
