Men at that age who date young, attractive women are probably doing it just for show. I'm generalizing here and making assumptions, but that's what I think.
I know who he's referring to, but I don't know WHY he's referring to him. I'm blessed, Mike? Whoo hoo! Does that make me special, then?
I think he was referring to me and that I prolly saw AC ... I doubt AC would get a girl like that. Last I heard he was flat broke.
No problem Ms Shively, I can see why it was confusing, should have quoted him. Checking out your writing deals, may need some articles.
There was a news report on TV a while back about this type of thing. Generally the public will be suspicious if they see an older man/woman being affectionate to a much younger boy/girl. In this case it was the father and daughter walking down a street, hugging etc., as people walked past them, a majority stopped and stared. Kinda sad to see this happening really. I know that if I have a child sometime in the future, I wouldn't want to be looked down upon by society just because I'm being affectionate to them. Cheers, Ponynugget
I dont understand how a young woman can go with a guy in their 70s that is in my opion not really that healthy. I hope that she wasn't doing it for the money. She will resent it in later life but then I suppose by the time she gets to later life he will be dead she will rich. a win win situation. No really it is a sad day and age sitution that people seem to get into these days.
Actually this isn't very rare. I've seen quite a few older men with some pretty young women. Seems strange but still, it's there - just live with it.
JasMate, can't it work both ways? Instead of saying, "I don't understand why a woman can date a guy in their 70's" why can't you say, "I don't understand why a man can date a woman in their 20's?" Why is it okay for men to date younger women, but there's such a stigma against a woman choosing to date an older man? Doesn't make much sense to me.
Probably for the same reasons that actors like Paul Newman, Sean Connery, Dustin Hoffman stc. are still famous in their 60s and70s. But how about the women who were famous when they first started?
Well, it's stupid and it's wrong. If I want to date a 70 year old man, I'll be damned if people are going to talk about me because of it! Nevermind the fact I don't foresee myself dating someone that much older than me, but still.
