Large age difference
« Reply #325 on: March 23, 2005, 11:48:40 PM »

a young person is not physically attracted to a old person. being a nice person is ok but it will not secure love. it 's too bad that life is such but it is.

many people find they are unhappy living in a foreign country. Reality and the imaginary image designed by Hollywood ant the same thing. The USA is plagued with the same problems as the rest of the world and in some ways more. A musical named " Chicago"
Starring:



Catherine Zeta-Jones


Renee Zellweger


Richard Gere


Queen Latifah


John C. Reilly


Lucy Liu


Taye Diggs


Colm Feore

is a good example of the US I know.

And interestingly enough, there are several on this cast who have married people who had a significant age difference.  And I do not believe that economic factors were of the primary concern.

Damn...I wasted 30 minutes reading this crap...good thing I am a fast reader!  But at least I picked up a few "gems" so I will count the experience worthwhile... :)

I am sorry Elen EVERYONE has a price and I mean EVERYONE, it might be more expensive for some than others but EVERYONE can be had for the right price.
At least you have the frankness to admit that you bought your wife. Exactly what I said: marriage prostitution.

Coulter.

.. to the contrary..

I don't think Mrs. Tiger asked a price of Mr. Tiger for being his wife. Had she done so I think the price would be quite high and only then I might tend to agree with you.

A woman who does not 'sell' her services is not a prostitute.

Have you ever given a nice gift or money to a girlfriend/wife? Does that make her a prostitute? Does an engagement ring make her one?

When the age difference is 15 - 18 years - there are many things to think about seriously... She is 25 and he is 40 - not too bad, but when she is 35 and he is 50+ - "Dear, let's out for dancing. No, baby, we'll stay at home and watch TV". The larger age difference they have - the more problems they will have in future.

Arrow, Do you think Tiger Paws bought his wife?   Perhaps she bought him using her beauty and appeal as currency.   Perhaps Tiger Paws is right that we all have a price.  Some might be money, security and material possessions and others it might be a curvey figure and a great smile.    Even the people who's main claim is that they are great people who are considerate, warm, and caring but not rich or handsome, couldn't that be considered a value item used to buy someone?    Perhaps we do all have a price, just not what you think of when you first think about that statement.

That is what I mean arrow.  Perhaps we all have a price but perhaps is is not money.   If a beautiful girl with a sexy body and a great personality came along and we liked her and ended up with her, is she not in a way paying for what she thinks will be a happy life with her sexy body, with her beautiful face with her great personality.    I don't think everyone can be purchased with money either.  

My observation is that if there is a beautiful girl with a great figure and a nasty personality and she lives in the USA (there are many gals who are exactly that way) she will have no difficulty getting all the dates she wants and can treat the guys like sh*t.  If she decides she wants to marry one of these stupid slobs who are falling all over her they will do it in a heartbeat.    My point was cash is not the only currency.

i've read enough of what elen posts that i stopped reading what she posts long ago, long before this silly thread. as leslie likes to say, stop feeding the trolls. say what you want elen, i do not care and won't read. you lost your credibility with me a long time ago. i think you are a hateful unhappy woman. you have nothing to offer this BB.

i was involved with a ukrainian lady who was 25, i'm 48. there was absolutely no problem with age. her previous boyfriend was a RM same age as me, and no, he was not rich and neither am i.

maybe it's my character they like? god, is THAT possible??

last 25 year old i met, i asked her why she replied to my profile.. she said she liked my appearance and my age was "perfect".  i have dated or met quite a few ladies who had RM who were my age or close to it.

different strokes for different folks. this SHOULD be the end of story.

Thanks, Turboguy. If a man treats me with a respect - I appreciate that. But if he can let himself arise his voice at me when we are discussing something and having different points of view at the subject we are talking about and after that he tries to buy me something instead of saying "Natalya, I was wrong" I think, he wants "to buy" my good treatment to him (he redresses a wrong).  I mean figuratively (allegorically), of course. Hope, you got what I meant.

[/font] I want to say that I stoped to post at this tread about 2 weeks and 15 posts ago and you still can't calm down. Though you may keep post what you want as well You even may take some lessons from Leslie's knowledge in Russian "naive" lexicon. It would be certaimly a good offer to this board

Hello again Arrow!  I understand and I agree.   I think we all say something sometime that others would take to be stupid.  We also say things that have a lot of logic in them but may be different than what other readers believe.

I think it is better when everyone can present their view and respect the rights of others to have different opinions.   I think too that it is better if we have to attack to attack the ideas and not the person.   So anyway, yes, I got what you meant.

[user=54]Turboguy[/user], when you communicate with people the main important thing is - to respect another opinion and accept it without any kind of offense. "Things have gender, people have sex (male, female)" :) Men and women think differently - that's why it's always interesting to talk to opposite sex and know what they think. :)

elen, your post makes no sense whatsoever. you say you stopped posting 2 weeks ago and 15 posts? you post here more recently and often thanyone else..  niave? i have far more experience than 80% of the posters here. your reply just illustrates how unhappy and hateful you are. i can't calm down?  lol  whoever said i was excited? the post i made above is the first time i ever said a word about you.

this is the last i will ever ackowledge anything you post. waste your time all you want. you have a chip on your shoulder, a grudge against just about everyone here.  if i had my way, you'd get banned.

 Sense today is my wifes birthday as well as the 5th anniversary of her arriving in America and we have a 19 year age difference I thought I would say that things between us have never been better. Sure there were some diffcult times for the first couple of years but we worked through those together and our relationship is stronger because of it.

 There are many nay-sayers but we are proof positive that with a bit of work, a lot of love and a whole lot of understnding most anyone can work out their differences and have a happy relationship.

 Anyway just my 2c worth before we head off later today to our home in Antiqua for a week.

I would say a mature woman of 30 could easily have a successful relation with a youthful man of 50 if they are willing to make a go of it.

My friend got married at the age of 31 and his wife was 48. They have been happily married since 1985. He was a mature 31 and she was 48 but looked and acted 31.

Marriage should be a union of two people not two age groups.

Whew!  I am so glad that Clyde has given his approval.  I thought I would have to give Lena the boot after six years!

I don't approve Ken, start the divorce action immediately. 

Personally I think the individuals involved are going to be a much more important factor than the number of summers someone has experieced.   I rarely ever got serious about American women that we much less than 20 years younger than me, no sense starting that with the FSU women.

Turbo,

What I always find ironic when I receive criticism about our age differences, is that I didn't seek out a woman so young.  I actually would have (and still would)  preferred a woman older than Lena.  We just happened to fall in love with each other.  We didn't exclude each other because of the age difference.  I would have preferred to fall in love with a woman 10-15 years older but one does not always have that kind of control.
