[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 16 years he will be 70 and she will be 47. I cannot imagine being with a 70 year old at my age (which is 47). So gross![/quote]

There are millions and millions of women that will choose a successful older man who at least tries to look good and works out and takes good care of themselves.

Like it or not, we still live in a society where men are expected to be successful and good looking - and there aren't a lot of them. Minuscule numbers. Supply and demand. I'm sure there are a gazillion women that would be happy to get involved with Justin Theroux. Not everyone wants to get involved with some 30 year old Peter Pan with terrible habits.   [/quote]

You’re acting as if these are the only two choices. there are actually a few mote. 1 is to stay alone because no thanks and the obvious other one is to find a good guy closer to your age. They do exist. I don’t believe Nicole has a very high bar if she chose a serial cheater who has a history of dating teens in his 40s. Sorry, but no.

All people are pointing out with the 20 year look ahead is that there is an ocean between early 50s and early 70s. It is much wider and much different than the difference between early 30s and early 50s.[/quote]

But Nicole was engaged to a man closer in age to her before she started dating Justin (literally ditched her fiancé for Justin). Some finance bro in NYC. So she had that option and she chose Justin.

I think from her perspective, she may have viewed Justin as a better fit despite the age difference because they work in the same industry and perhaps have more similar goals and lifestyles. I think it's hard for celeb actors to marry non-creatives or people with regular person jobs (even highly paid jobs) because the schedules and priorities just aren't compatible. There are also real career benefits to marrying another celebrity. Yes that's transactional but no more so than people who choose partners based on going to the same set of schools, which many people do.

Not saying their marriage is going the distance, if I had to put money on it I would bet divorced within 5 years, maybe 7 if they have another kid and they both like being parents. Celebrity marriages don't tend to last. But I also think Nicole would have wound up divorcing the finance bro, too. So I'm not so sure that this alternative choice you are presenting is necessarily the right one for someone in this situation either. Actors doing film and television and making decent money do not operate within the same dating market as the rest of us.[/quote]

Basically many of us are saying the same thing - she didn’t really think this through and she’s not really looking ahead. I think everyone agrees it probably won’t last. But divorced with kids is no joke no matter how much money you have. agree that money can solve some of the problems but she’s still going to be tethered to him for life. And possibly having to watch another woman or women be around her kid. Sounds like a horror film to me. [/quote]

Tale as old as time. She thinks she's special and he won't treat her like he's eventually treated every other partner he's had. She feels superior to Jennifer and Heidi because she had his child. She thinks having a wife and child will domesticate him. Highly unlikely. Leopards, spots and all.[/quote]
