[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It amuses me that the invariable reaction to "older men, younger women" is "do you want to be his nurse?"

If the guy needs a nurse, why is it different if he is 15 years older than you versus the same age as you? Seems like it would be worse (more difficult) if you were the same age as him, because then you're old and tired, too.

I think the real message is that women want to discard a man once he is old and useless, regardless of any age difference.

Is this really difficult for you to understand? Because most people, male or female, don’t want to spend the prime, youthful years of their life caretaking and unable to enjoy an active life with their spouse. [/quote]

Yes so hard for some men to see.  Why would a woman want to nurse a partner when she is 50 and still active.  She won't have a partner to travel with, go out with.  And after that she will then have health problems herself.

You would hope that if you are the same age as each other that you would take care of each other, together rather than it just being worse for the woman because she is now old like the male and it's all on the woman to be the carer.  I mean you would hope that the man would do some caring if required for his wife if she needed it.

Ideally and not that it always works out like this, ideally it would be nice to retire together and be able to travel together, golf together, go out and  have hobbies and enjoy life a little before the limitations of old age creep in.  Then it would be nice to commiserate together about how getting old affects you.[/quote]
