Breaking news: rich celebrities are real people!

--age discrimination from their employers
--money problems
--arrests
--marital problems
--alcoholism
--aging
--wanting to have families
--retiring from their job
--wanting to be alone
--feeling misunderstood

Etcetera! Rich celebrities go through all the above. And so do normal people. How bout that, huh? Learn something new everyday.

Yes, and they are also tremendously wealthy and famous. How about that?

They are not always tremendously wealthy and famous. The most famous celebrity right now can be old news by Christmas time. They can also lose a significant amount of money within a short time. Paula Deen has lost over $12 million dollars in endorsements from a scandal that happened just a few months ago.

Damn! And I had such high hopes.



FTFY

But what do I know? My SO is 10 years younger than I am.

And hot.

So much for your theory.
...of course your SO just paid for a lap dance.

But the rest of your relationship appears to be going swell!

You really don't understand that if Alec Baldwin and Hugh Hefner weren't rich and famous that they would have a totally different pool of women to choose from? If you don't - then I have a bridge I'd like to sell you!

Wait, are you trying to say that a 55-year-old Alec Baldwin, Certified Public Accountant in Poughkeepsie wouldn't be banging a 20-something yoga instructor? Say it ain't so, Dew.

Let's go back to the original post and my response:

And for the record, I'd say the same thing to him if I were 25. In fact, I'd tell him to go play in his own sandbox and probably call him "Dad" or "Gramps" while I was at it, because the sorry fact for you mid-life crisis types is that most 25-year-old women don't want saggy balls.

Oops, was that too blunt?

Lilac said most 25-year-old women don't want men 10+ their senior. But she's wrong. Many 20-somethings choose older men because they are financially stable and well-off compared to men their age who aren't. I used Alec Baldwin because he is a recent and famous example. I could have easily stated, "Well, I know a 20-something chick who is with this 50-something guy and they..." but I didn't want to give an anecdotal story. I wanted a real live story I could present.

Deny it all you want, but young women dating men who are 10 years or more their senior is common. Otherwise, you wouldn't have such a huge problem with it.

No - it's not common. It happens but it's not common. That's what we are trying to say. There are male posters who agree with that as well. As a 50 year old male - it's not going to be common to have women in their 20's throwing themselves at you.

Whoa. I wasn't expecting this! Ok, let me just try and fill in some gaps..

Actually, I'm married and have been for 26 years. I have two sons, one just turned 18, the other is 22. I wasn't looking to date anybody, but I admit that I enjoy the mental fantasy of "what if" when a woman shows interest in me. But as much as I sometimes like how a young 25 something looks, I doubt I would ever want to pursue anything with them even if I were single. I imagine the youngest I could go is 30 and that's really pushing it. Ideally, I love 40 year olds as long as they don't let themselves go. Even some 50+ year olds I met were great.

The initial attention I get from younger girls is flattering, but their dismissal of me immediately after does sting. It's the real indicator that my age is closing doors for me. I'm as strong as I ever wax, I'm no dumber, and I feel no difference in my mind or my body from when I was 25. But I look different. And this means I really will never, for the rest of my days, have a young woman that feels pure lust for me. Does it ultimately matter? No. But still..

But this is all just a mental trip. I love my wife, I'm not looking to cheat now. I didn't before when I had many more opprtunities as a younger man. My post was just an obsetvation, nothing more
