This reminds me of Lady Spencer, already rich in her own and marries someone even richer. Some stories don’t turn out well but not all turn out bad. Not the pp. |
DP. Did you also post that other strange post? You really are unintelligible. |
I’m the PP on this and yes, the optimism and enthusiasm in a young body and pretty face is enchanting. |
DP. I married an older man because we do things outside of the house nobody my age I've dated does including visiting assisted living centers, kindness to younger siblings, volunteering to help clean up when you can't put it on your resume. Our conversations are MUCH less racist (I went to UVA) than men my age trying to date me after exposure to the bigoted porn classification system of women (he older than the free internet porn era). His mother married a man with a bigger age gap. |
Sometimes, people are just attracted to each other - even when others don’t agree with it. |
They want to feel young by association and use money to buy young materialistic women. It’s just naive to think those women would be interested in them at all or for long. |
OP here. This is what I think. They want to buy a young woman to feel younger. |
So that is what you get after all these pages of responses? Wow! |
I am 37 and just gagged thinking of dating a 57 year old. |
maybe because women of their own age have no desire to deal with their needs?
i mean, I'm 51, and if my marriage ended, I doubt I'd want to take on another middle aged man. I love my husband but finding a new one? no thanks. Rather focus on myself and my kids. |
Right? 56 is really, really old. I can only imagine the “personality” of a 27 year old dating a man 30 years her senior 😳 I think the crux of this argument is that a certain class of men like prostitutes because they expect nothing from them and get to take everything from her. They have a distaste for their peer-wives because there is nothing they hate more than responsibility. |
She's amazingly intelligent. Finishing a PhD in science. We talk about everything, and lose track of the time. She grew up respecting her father so she appreciates my wisdom and life experience. We have had many dates outside the house and a short road trip. We will go for longer trips once school is out. We also enjoy cooking together. I have late-teens kids. She had met one of my kids and that went well. I'll meet her parents soon. |
Ha! I’m 50 and 57 seems old. I’m dating someone 54 and that doesn’t seem so old. Don’t ask me why, it’s only a 3 year difference. I guess 57 seems closer to 60. |
Will you be a peer to her parents? |
Women on this board love asking what men think and then answering what they think they think. At least for me, being with a woman 20 years younger only makes me feel older as I’m very aware of our age difference. But it’s still worth it. Also, I’m always aware the these relationships have a 1-3 month shelf life. That’s fine too. There’s always someone else and this is the perfect town for meeting her. |
