[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Throughout history, men have tried to desperately hold onto power and keep women down by making women feel like they’re going to be past some prime once the age beyond 25.

I don’t think this line of thinking is the flex men think it is. What is the end game for men if this is the case?

Let’s take George Clooney and Brad Pitt, who consistently get mentioned in this forum as wealthy, famous, beyond good looking men who have their choice of young women. Brad Pitt no doubt dated a bevy of young fertile beauties in his prime but decided to settle down in his 40s and have children. Interestingly, he didn’t pick a 25 year old. He picked a mid 30s divorced woman with two kids. Even though Brad Pitt probably has more options the average DCUM poster in his 40s, he opted for this common scenario instead.

He and Angelina adopted a child together and had three biological children. Brad hit early 50 and it’s all revealed to be a sham, he’s been a drunk and a drug addict for decades, he’s abusive, and he is now in year 8 of a bitter, expensive divorce, and all of his children are estranged. The older ones want nothing to do with him, and he has court mandated visitation with the younger ones who all opted to legally change their name. But it’s all worth it because he’s in his 60s and he’s dating a 34-year-old am-I-right fellas? Truly living the dream.

George Clooney fared a little bit better. He decided to wait until almost 50 to settle down and start a family. Curiously he didn’t opt for the 25-year-old fertile beauty either, he went for a woman in her late 30s who needed IVF to get pregnant. It’s almost as if he wasn’t just looking at fertility and beauty, but also wanted an intellectual who had some life experience. Strange indeed.

What’s even more interesting as she is now 46 and he’s still with her! Amazing.

Look, my husband will be 50 at the end of this year. He is in great shape. But of course, sometimes I fantasize about my favorite actor who is now mid 40s but in my fantasy he is in the roles he played from 30-36.

And of course I would love to have a few hours to be transported back in time with my husband and his 24-year-old self - and to that time in our life when we couldn’t keep hands off each other and could lay around in bed all weekend.

It’s not just men who opine for those days. But human needs are complex and while I’m thankful for those memories I love that we have a 20 plus year history and kids. And I’m really glad that he’s not in his late 60s now and I got to know him in his 20s. I do not think it is the ideal for most women to find their life partners when they’re in their 20s and the men are in their 40s and 50s. I want to grow old with my husband, I don’t want him to watch him get old by himself.

Getting older sucks in some ways and is great in others. The only alternative is death. Youth is attractive but fleeting and there are no exceptions. [/quote]

Leo doesn’t apply. It is all well-known he is gay.[/quote]
