I'd never do it, don't get me wrong. I can't cozy up to someone old enough to be my dad, let alone grandpa. But what other people do doesn't bother me though. It's odd... odd enough that it makes headlines. But it happens.

Could it be his net worth of 2.5 million? Maybe

Could it be a true live connection? Maybe, but it's doubtful. Some Women may want to be with someone old enough to be their father, but it's usually not someone that could be their grandfather.

I think she may want to be the next Courtney Stodden. Money plus fame is very enticing to some people.

Older guys hit on me when I was a young teenager. I wouldn't say it "bothers" me, in that I don't think about those guys until someone brings it up. It's just visceral, that's all. Maybe it's because my family's generations are evenly spaced around 20 years apart, so a 40-year difference to me is my grandfather's age. My dad's youngest brother was 14 years older than I, and his wife 11 years older. More than 10 years is approaching generational gap for me, and my body just goes "nooooooooooooo thankyou."

well, why should there be a problem? It's not like a lot of same age relationships are working out either...given the rate at which couples are splitting and divorcing these days...

Ewwww.

I remember being 27 and dating a 20-year-old a couple of times. I could feel my IQ dropping every time I had a conversation with her. So, as a guy in my 50s, I can't imagine dating one now.

Nice random sampling. One 20 year old girl, two dates and a couple of conversations with same.

Come on!

Your thoughts.

Is this just a way to get into the spotlight?
It think most single 57 year old men would rather be with a girl like this than a 57 year old woman if they had the chance.
