I can't imagine me starting to date, marrying a 92 year old man, not even if he had loads of money. I might be his caregiver for enough money per hour and hope he tips well. LOL

Re: Practical View, I guess
no but the shoe could be on the other foot a mature woman knows a lot more than a younger woman, but men dont want to think about it that way, its just nice eye candy

I think your right about their wanting a money machine... and yes the man who's older losing his youth looking for that young magic pill. But I also see there's probably a legit love affair out there somewhere and that's all it is they have just found love with each other. Interesting topic Lustorlove...

Practical View, I guess
Yours is a practical view but not an inside view. I know young women who think an older man is the best relationship and that's not the gold they are talking about. As a friend of mine once said to me " you don't know it until you're in it "

I think you hit the reasons why some women marry men way older than them. I myself would not want to be in a situation of marrying a woman significantly older than myself for the reasons you list.

I really don't know what they mean when they say love conquers all lustorlove. Exactly what does it conquer? It is just normal for people to call a woman a gold digger if the man she is married to is 20? years older. But don't you think the man will always question whether the wife will run away if he is in that kind of relationship???

I have a tendency to lean toward the money aspect! But, the father figure is a good point, too! sam

Re: lustor
well younger men are nice to look at too, but I dont think they would want to get stuck with an old fart who needs them to change their diapers

I think that younger women go for older men for all of the reasons that you pointed out. Father figure, stability, the ability to teach and satisfy, gold digger. Young women may be nice to look at but eentually you will have to talk with them and that kind of age difference makes it difficult.

I often think exactly the same as you! Of course, they must be after money, but having to live with some of these aging creeps is a very high price o pay for wealth. And you hardly ever see young guys with elderly women.... Life is unfair (to us females, anyway.)

Yes IT Would Be A Burden.....
Although I believe that if it IS TRUE LOVE then she will carry that burden with grace. From my own experience it was the 'father' I needed. I was 17 and he was 31 when we married. It did turn out disastrous in the end, but that was after 19 yrs of marriage and 5 great children - what can I say to that now? (by the way I've been divorced for 11 yrs and Im just 47 yrs old now)........however there are women out there for sure that dig gold, but I would say that the underlying thing is still a 'father' issue, but in a different way.
But either way, we must all travel the road that is most likely to teach us the lessons that we most need in our life for whatever reason. Dont worry about your daughter, just have faith in her. I am trying to hold this faith in my own daughter right now as I see her walking the exact same path I did and for the same reasons. Crazy isnt it.
