Really? Sounds like jealousy. Do you think all people should wear the same clothes as well?

I am only a few years younger than my father in law. A co worker of mine asked why I married a young woman, as I told him - anyone can get a old woman.

I think jealousy is wishful thinking. Most of my male colleagues who are in their 50's-60's who marry 20-somethings are the object of constant ridicule and passive contempt. I understand the physical attraction, but what on earth does an old man have in common with a girl in their 20's? There's no shared experiences in culture, music or anything else, the generation gap is gaping.

Sure, some of my male students are hot, but even though they're smarter than average (all doctoral students), I still have little or nothing to say to them. They're immature and facile, almost all of them, except on a purely academic level.

If you can't talk with your partner in or outside of bed, it's not a marriage that's enviable to most people.

Yeah, I agree, when ever I see a guy in his late 50's or above with a woman in her 20's it looks silly to me. To each their own I guess.

I'm 41 and I wouldn't be with a woman in her 20's, we're just on different planes. I need to be able to actually talk with a woman, not just do the horizontal mambo.

Wow! That is such a level of depth and intelligence that only an old man would have.

I don't think anybody should be doing anything they don't want to. But whenever I see an old guy young woman or old woman young guy I think both are just immature and stupid. There are issues remaining that are not being solved.

REALLY BIG breast implants should do the trick.

Your wife obviously got herself quite the catch

Hmmm I'm almost 41 and pretty proud that I can still make heads turn
I don't dress to impress but I dress conservative with a mix in of fun and trendy.
I dress like I am my age but with spunk!
Maybe that's why I get confused with my 19 year old daughter :P
And btw, I don't wear anything lowcut or short. I am LDS so I dress VERY conservative (no sleeveless tops, no mini skirts or shorts, etc)
I think it's all in the attitude. I don't feel old and therefore I may not look old either!

I knew a Philippine lady who looked late 20s and was really 41. So it can happen. Its all about how well you take care of yourself. Diet and good exercise.

Retarding the effects of aging is also genetic. Not saying people shouldn't take good care of themselves but you can't always look like a twentysomething while in your 40s.
