[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The biggest issue, though, is that men, [b]even when they're the same age[/b], tend to be condescending to women [/quote]

OK, if he's going to be condescending even if he's the same age as you, then condescension is not a reason to avoid dating older men.

The irony about all of this “I don’t want to have to change an old man’s diapers” mentality is that men tend to die quickly. Yeah, you might be unlucky and get stuck with a guy gets Alzheimer’s, but tons of men just drop dead from heart attacks and strokes.[/quote]

What I don't get about it is, are there really women in their 60s and 70s who are changing their same-age husband's diapers? If not, then why would a younger wife have to do it? If so, then why would it be worse to do it for a much older man? If you're 40 and your husband is 40, what are you going to do to avoid diaper duty in 30 years?[/quote]

This! Thank you for this. I also don't get the distaste for a spouse doing things for a spouse. Isn't that why people form partnerships? [/quote]

No, not that many 60 yo women are, but lots of 80yo women are. I don’t want to be doing it at 60 when my friends are on the course with their partners-  so I don’t date 20 years older.[/quote]
