A little DNA testing wouldn’t hurt, either.

I would think if a woman marries a man decades older than she then a little of the father thing creeps in which is fine as long as she needs that and the old guy is there to supply. And when your offspring has a father that is as old as perhaps your grandfather then, gee––––––but, to each his own–love is not measured by age until the gardner who is taking care of your beds looks good enough to take to yours.

while i generally agree—-you may be missing a critical ‘slice’ of ‘women for millions of years’. for a female? best bet most powerful mate possible—-now that become $$$—-these women may be seeking more—-lost father, whatever—-Life’s strange—-right?

the one thing i doubt we will ever, ever understand—-not that they don’t ‘work-on-it’—-like fishing in ‘the-sea-of-red-herrings’—-

Just because they CAN, doesn’t mean they SHOULD ! Read this - http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/02/28/healthscience/snfert.php Sometimes when I see these young babes I think, OK, marry the old guy, have a few kids, put up with him - not a lot of pressure ‘cus he goes to bed early, re-write the will, wait for him to croak, inherit the money, NOW marry the young hunk and live happily ever after. OK OK that’s not nice … it must be true love !

This, plus the recent trend of women over-60 giving birth. It all gives new meaning to the words, “Nursing Home.”

Hey guys - I am 55 and my husband is 79 years old. We fell crazy in love with each other 12 years ago and have a wonderfully happy marriage. I will forever treasure the time I have with my current husband and regret the age difference only because it is probable that I will be a widow far too soon. I was previously married for 14 years to a man 4 years older than I - maybe we had grown up listening to much of the same music, but being in the same generation had nothing to do with the closeness of our souls.

I’m happy this is working well for you. My thought has always been, if you can’t remember the same music from college, then the age difference is too great. My life is pretty much centered around music and art, though.

Well, classical music is my life, so I guess that may apply to my stance that what ever one wants, and finds that will make them happy, is sufficient. At a 40th class reunion, several of “the girls” were complaining about our male peers showing up “with their trophy wives,” so I had to spend some time thinking about that concept. What came out of my cross-country trip home were 2 major elements: 1) as a woman, I noticed that age didn’t phase me when it came to relationships with men younger than myself; we accepted one another at face value, but more so, I viewed myself as younger than I was/am; 2) trophy wives is such a rare bird that it’s more publicized, more talked about. That doesn’t mean it’s prevalent. Lastly, my own offspring have often said if I ever met someone who was as ethical, charitable, intellectually curious, and honest as I am, “she’d marry him in two weeks…” ;-)) I rest my case.
