what’s your source for a 65% divorce rate among millennials? Also, younger generations of women don’t need men the way your generation did. Most of them realize they’re better off not marrying at all. |
| Does he Coach at UNC? |
My parents were greatest generation and were within 2 years of each other. Most of that generation married young with women marrying around 19 and men at 21. This idea that it was common to marry much older isn’t based in any fact. |
To you it is better every day, but for all you know she is regretting it. Like your wife, I am 50. I cannot imagine being married to a 69 year old right now! |
And men who marry someone their age, and the woman hits the wall so to speak at 40 something, so he regrets it and is dating a 30 year old behind her back..... There are many reasons intelligent rational women prefer men several older than them, and not just for the biological reasons. |
Good question |
Either kids are being less discreet or older people have forgotten what they were like when younger and shocked by discovering the reality of youth again. |
I think it is simply the op’s way of acknowledging the obvious: that her daughter is regularly taking intimacy from an older gentleman. |
Questioning why they chose certain words is condescending. You get the message…check your biases |
lmao at women "hitting a wall" at 40. Have you seen women in their 40s lately? |
This. At all ever matter of fact. |
Right?! Jessica Alba is more beautiful than ever. The 40s are my favorite decade so far, as I have more money and time to invest in myself now that my kids are older and I've established myself in my career. High-value women remain so for a long time and are less inclined to settle for an older man in our 40s or beyond than we were in our 20s because (1) by our 40s, we have plenty of our own money, and (2) when we were in our 20s, "older" men were in their 30s or maybe 40s, and still attractive, but once we are in our 40s, older men are in their 50s and 60s and look like grandpas who will soon need a caregiver, and no to that. |
Or Ana Navarro with an on old hubby |
How?a 25 year old, no matter how mature and level headed will ever be “equal” to a 50 year old. That person has lived their life twice, that can never be taken back. You’re delusional if you think you’re such a mature 25 year old that you’re equal to a 50 year old, and if you’re a 50 year old who thinks a 25 is your equal you are also delusional 😂 |
Divorce rates were 5% because women couldn’t get a bank account, a loan, a mortgage or in a lot of cases, a JOB. They didn’t stay out of love for their ancient decrepit husband, they stayed because they were trapped. You’re seriously f***ed up to use that as a comparison. |
