More details to this question:
I am a naturally born US male, age 72. I contacted my fiancé for the first time via Skype over 2 years ago. She is a Philippine citizen, age 26. I have not visited her but need to do so as per the rules I read about. I want her to come to the US and marry.

As you appear to recognize, a vast age difference indeed can be a factor immigration authorities will consider in determining whether it is persuasive you and your fiance have a bona fide engagement relationship (if filing for a K-1 fiance visa) or a bona fide marriage relationship (if filing for a wife to become a Permanent Resident). It is possible, although sometimes challenging, to succeed despite the large age difference, and to do so a particularly strong set of supporting documentary evidence will be required. I recommend that you and your fiance consult with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant details about you and your fiance not only could advise about the type of supporting documents needed, but also could advise about immigration eligibilities, options and strategies and could offer legal representation in the application process.
