How would you react to a 60-year old woman marrying a 20 something year old man? (child, sex)

In doing my usual thorough research for this post I learned some sad news. I knew that Katie Couric was in an age gap relationship but I didn't know any details because stuff like that just isn't on my radar. Turns out she was 17 years older and the relationship lasted five years but ended under pressure from her daughters, family and from her. Not only did she start dating again but she apparently got married last year. To an age appropriate 'financier'. Not to hijack an interesting thread but what possesses a high net worth celebrity with very grown (in their 20's) children to marry someone she could only have dated for several months? It was apparently pressure about "a future" that caused the split with the "boy-toy". Why can't people just enjoy the ride? What is the draw of making things legal for people closing in on 60 (she is 58)? Who is judging them? Who cares? Why do they? To the topic: I know the o.p. premise is hypothetical but has there ever actually been a romance between a 60 year old woman and a 20 something guy? I'm doubting it. For this reason I don't feel all that bad about hijacking it. We should discuss a topic that actually happens: people tying the knot with people they have only dated months or even just weeks.
What if the 60 year old told you that the 20 something year old man was hot and she needed him?
Young guys are great, until they speak.
Listen, as a woman nearing 50 and had 20-somethings ask me and my answer was "no." Usually no younger than 10 years was my limit and the vast majority of them got on my nerves.
If a 60 wants to date a 20 year old, I'm fine with it. Why would I care about someone else's relationship? If it were my friend and she was proposing it? I would definitely be concerned, but if she just wanted a young hottie, then .

I know one woman that at 61 years old that married a 28 year old athletic trainer, at the time. He's tall, dangerously handsome. They love each other to this day.
I would congratulate her on winning the lottery. I would be curious about what a 20 year old man could possibly see in a 60 year old woman. Does the 60 year old woman at least look like Christie Brinkley?
Money, Benefits, Perks, Obviously
Same reason why women get with dudes 30+ years older than them.
I knew a couple where the woman was 45 and the man 25 when they married. He was an "old soul" and indeed, they went very well together. She generally looked younger and he looked older, although early on in the marriage you could tell she was much older (he seemed to age faster than her though and "caught up"). Ironically, he died before she did....
Unusual couples and exceptions to the rules, but it CAN work.
