[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This kind of thing is odd.

It’s strange for a 50 or 60 year old man to want to start over with babies.  As a woman I was barely interested in stroller shopping and nursery planning for baby #2.  I don’t understand why a 60 year old would be up for doing this again at an old age.

I also can’t imagine why any young woman with options would want to sign up for a marriage with someone old enough to be their dad.

It makes me think there is something very wrong with the woman.  I assume the man is simply after sex with someone younger. [/quote]

It’s more often men in their late forties or early fifties who want to remarry and have more kids. Usually they’re very wealthy. [b]It’s not just about sex because that’s easy to find without having to start a family[/b]. They want a young, beautiful wife and a young family. In more modern examples, they end up with intellectual peers as well - women with an md, jd or mba.  There are a few successful, long lasting families like this where the man is very committed to his new family and very rich.   It’s what he chose and he’s committed. The rest are total disasters - the men end up disappointing everyone. His young wife leaves him because he doesn’t have enough time or money for her and he’s old on top of it all. His adult kids hate him. He ends up broke after two divorces. [/quote]

I disagree with this.  Even for an attractive successful man in his 50s, it’s relatively hard to find sex.  A successful man is busy working and doing the things he needs to do to be successful.  It’s not like he’s going to get on Tinder.  The best way for a man of that age to secure sex is to get married to someone younger.  It’s a lot of work to completely get back on the dating market to find sex.  [/quote]
