Just saw my pretty 45yo sorority sister divorced and is dating a 67yo man. Common or alarming gap?

I never use Facebook and randomly jumped on this afternoon. I see a gal I went to college with, who’s always been super cute, in a bunch of pictures with what appeared to be her dad. Nope. She divorced and is dating a 67yo man. Is this normal? She’s in terrific shape, youthful face, still super cute! Good career and two teen kids. The man looks his age, I suppose, but he’s balding and grey, she’s this energetic yoga addict, so the big age gap is really obvious. It does seem like he dotes on her and he may be well off. But it seems she could easily find a successful guy closer to her age.

Gross
I’m 43 and single and only okay looking and have no problems finding men with five years of my age to date

Why would you be alarmed?

Why do you care? Maybe she is happy!

He’s rich. Plus, maybe she had an absentee father.

I dated a guy who was 60 in my 40s. Best sex ever. Needed viagra however but that’s ok.

Yeah, not my thing especially in that age bracket. He’s old

May not be common but it's not so uncommon that you should be having a fit about it.

It's beyond gross, but I suspect she needs a retirement. Divorce at that age is a big hit for both partners, and it's a big change in life style. If she plays her cards right the old fossil might just marry her.

Would it be more OK if she was ugly?

Well, here's your answer!
Somebody 'closer to her age' who's available is, most likely, divorced with younger children, so she'd have to deal with that, possibly, for a long time.

It’s just striking because she could pass for 35yo, which seems like it’d make her top of the singles scene. But maybe not. I’m not in that loop so I haven’t a clue, hence why I asked you all. It genuinely looks weird to see her smooching this old man in her pics.

Op, you're apparently 45 yo or so, and used the phrase "super cute" twice in your initial post. You've got bigger issues than who acquaintances from long ago are dating.

maybe he’s rich or maybe she likes him

The men her age are dating younger women.
