Having been in the business and seen incredible rip offs all I can say is 'there is no fool like an old fool' but hey, go for it.

Just remember it is you and not your age that will probably be the magic formula. Your OP said rock the world of a 60 plus year old and not your world. Just remember will your out look on life help her with hers? It is the maturity that you offer and a perspective that is not competitive or threatening. Perhaps it will be your appreciation of her energy and youthfullness that will give you the edge over guys your age. I mean heck you will probably be more gratefull and appreciative just when she scratches your neck.

The Playboy mansion, the Playboy jet and Heffner's automobiles perhaps?

And the publicity and opportunities to mingle with celebrities.

Smile As long as you can...

rock HER world, you'll be OK.

I'm sure by your attitude you don't look or act 60.

Celebs are helping that in a way. Sharon Osbourne was talking about 60 being the new 50; wish she had said the new 40, but oh, well..... - look at Christie Brinkley, Suzanne Somers, etc.

When I see couples more than 20 years apart in age, I think - what must they have in common?

However, I have a friend who married someone 16 years older when she was 21. Turns out she was an old soul and they now have been married 30 plus years so who knew? Seem happy.

Not sure how many 40 year olds you'll meet on this forum, but if you want a 60-something hottie I hear some of those gals on the "Single Women Retiring" forum are pretty cute.

You may not be politically correct, but you're certainly not senile, either. Go for it...assuming you can keep up with her or you have an unlimited supply of a certain (ahem) medication available to you.

I do not think the OP said anything about marrying her.

He might have been talking about renting her from time to time.

There is no romance, without the finance......LOL

I think you're silly. But what the hell. Have fun. That's a big part of what life should be about. As for me, think I'll just stick with the old woman (only two years younger than me) that I have.

Age can be funny.

You are 32..she is 12. Illegal and immoral.
You are 42..she is 22. She might have some issues, but it could work.
You are 52..she is 32. This can work.
You are 62..she is 42. This can work.
You are 72..she is 52. She might have some issues, but it could work.
You are 82..she is 62. You forget her name.
