There seems to be some kind of bizarre support for this kind of arrangement, and that is 50yr old + men, with 20 something girlfriends.

And here I am talking about regular guys being seriously in love with these girls, showering them with cash and gifts with no regard to the future, blinded by love and stupidity.

And how about the kids' inheritances, snatched away by an outsider - now that is just wrong!

Isn't this just pathetic?

Now, I can understand the sex thing, for sure, - but to go Full Monty , head over heels in 'love' with a bimbo that's only after your cash - well how sad is that?

And why do some of you lot stand up for this fraud and sham?

I've had a few in my time, and yes, they are 'fun' , but that's all they are.

It's a sex thing - why give them (and usually their low class families) all your money?

How about saving some for your kids or grandkids.

I always laugh at this sort of thing.

How do you know they aren't saving for their kids/grandkids? Men that age who are looking for this type of relationship usually have the extra cash to spare. They have, usually, already established themselves in life. And I have yet to see a case where he gives her ALL of his money.

And why can't a woman in her 20's be genuinely attracted to someone twice her age? I was in my mid 20's dating a man who was in his 50's. I wasn't in it for the money. And he was one of the sexiest men I have ever met, to date. I loved older men. Lots of gals do.

I support any relationship that meets the needs of everyone involved. It doesn't have to fit neatly in a box. Money and love are not mutually exclusive.

Pull your head out of the tabloids and the mainstream media's butt. Learn to think for yourself.

My parents and grandparents do not 'owe' me an inheritance. It's their money, not mine, to do whatever the hell they want with it. It disgusts me more that people get upset with how a grown adult chooses to spend their money. If they want to burn it, it's none of their kids business.

Old men and young women, I'm indifferent.

I just saw his posts about this on another thread. He seems really pissed off for some reason. I wonder why.

funny you say this, and complain.

I see nothing wrong with having some fun if all your obligations are met.

Yes, but what do you consider obligations? You don't 'owe' your kids anything. My parents don't 'owe' me anything. It's their money. If they want to spend their funds traveling the world, they get to do that. If they want a statue of them farting at some politician, they get to do that. If they split up and one of them wants to give their money to a partner half their age, they get to do that.

It's their money, not mine. It's not your inheritance unless they left it to you.

Because, OP, sometimes it IS the real deal, and not your pathetic stigmatization of it.

Sure, a lot of the time this isn't the real deal, and it's the young woman using the guy for what he has, not who he is, and the guy is too needy in his own way to see it.

Other times, they just click on some level, and enjoy each other's company. And occasionally, despite the age difference, it really is love and respect, despite the disparity in age. I will also point out that in many cases there are wills and trusts that take care of any children from earlier marriages, and sometimes the new couple has children. I know some of the latter happy couples, BTW, and to call those couples pathetic is more a reflection on you than on them. It also so happens that of those I know, he doesn't have money to lavish on her, so it's clearly not about money, and genuinely about love.
