Hmmm... you're right. There are exceptions. But exception is called that because it's not the norm.

Newly single at the age of 38, I've only been getting offers from women no less than 10 years younger than me. They sure do a good job of acting shocked/surprised when I do tell them my age [they couldn't possibly be missing the grey in my hair].

::::he's trippin'!!!!:::

Methinks you've been reading too many hot and steamy supermarket trash novels. You know, the kind in which a slave girl winks at a mean pirate, who subsequently kidnaps her, falls madly in love with her and they have wild, prostitutional sex behind a pirate's gold chest, followed by him becoming an executive in a shipping company, her his very wealthy wife, and they live happily ever after having wild hairy sex.
You're still historically incorrect. While women didn't have rights they still mostly married men they both loved and were attracted to. I do not read any of that trash but it sure seems you do. Your immaturity is definitely showing when you choose foolish attacks over reasoned rebuttal.

Maybe. But since when is being outside the norm an automatic negative? And it would be difficult to determine when and where much younger marrying much older was only the exception and not the norm. In certain cultures, ethnic groups, and in certain countries, big age-gap relationships are common, if not the norm. And you'd have to ask each younger woman married to an older man if she was/is attracted to her older mate, or if she married for other reasons. Personal bias and personal taste don't prove or disprove anything.

Not is all cases. A couple of years ago when I just turned 40, a 22 yo old woman contacted me on a OLD site, and asked if I was willing to lower my 32 yo age limit in her case. I responded, and seriously asked "What the hell do you see in an old guy like me?". She responded that she thought I was attractive and she was sick of dating young broke guys and she was looking for someone more established. I still said no as she was young enough to be my daughter. Variations of the same theme have happened since, but too young is too young.

I think you're dreaming. A woman with no rights would be FORCED to marry because without marriage she was a rightless individual. That's not a choice. That's a necessity.

Picture yourself a male with your legal rights suddenly stripped from you. In such a situation would you have a choice as to love? I doubt it. You'd be scrambling, desperate to find a wife to provide for you, hoping some woman show an interest in you, would like you, would ask for your hand in marriage, and you'd be trying to make yourself look really good because if no woman took you in, you'd be s.o.l. in life.

I merely said it was outside the norm. And yes, for example, in countries where women have no rights, even old men can have young girls to marry. Less rights means more miserable life and more willingness to endure bad stuff.

Of course, it isn't, Juan. Ive been hit on by 19-23year olds the past year- most recently a 20 year old (bakery gal) at a grocery store a couple weeks ago (im in my mid 30's btw)

I agree, too young is too young. The typical 19-23yrold has really nothing significant to offer me, other than the obvious. But man.......that bakery gal had a taut petite body on her Lol

Your opinion is that it is only younger women without rights and/or the means to support themselves who marry older, and presumably, less attractive mates. Or that it's the majority of those types of women who do. I say that's an overreaching analysis. Maybe you are right -- but how can you prove it? It's fine to believe that, but a belief is not a concrete truth. But I may look askew when an 80+ yr.old guy like Donald Sterling has a 30 yr.old girlfriend or wife: I think gold digger!! But what if the age difference is 10-15 years? I don't think it's outside any norm for a person to be very attracted to someone that much older, male or female.
And when talking about optimal attractiveness. I think most people would prefer to marry someone with all-star looks -- but how often does that happen? So even young, supposedly hot people have to settle eventually. So preferring x,y, and z is fine and all but that doesn't mean you will get it -- regardless of the ages involved.

Your 9 to 5 cube dwelling, docker sportin, average Joe isn't pulling down women 15-20 yrs younger than him.

At least not in my experience.

How easy is it?? I don't know... I supposed you'd have to hang out in some place that caters to women with daddy issues????

Most women, I think, for the most part, want to be with men in their same basic range, maybe a little older, but certainly not Anne Nicole Smith age differences......
