You find out a 41 year old male and a 25 year old female are dating

What immediately pops into your head regarding this situation?

"Hmm...I wonder if there's anything interesting I can pay attention to."

that he probably cant get it up without the little blue pill with a V on it and that she is a gold digger

I instantly thought the age difference was fairly large. But it doesnt really matter. She's a 25 year old women. She can maker her own decisions. Its not the same as a 15 year old girl dating a 30 year old guy.

Why would anything pop into my head? They're both adults. What's the big deal??

I don't care.

That I want to high five the 41 year old guy.

Cause they are much cooler then the first pound.

I don't care.

HorseVillain

Yup, That's how I feel :P

At least its not two guys, cause that's wrong. See prop 8 for proof.

If she's hot then

He must have a nice job/car.

Good for them.

Ugh, this reminds me of my dad. He's 52 and currently dating a 28 year old. What are my thoughts on that you ask? Well, they can be summed up by two songs:

1. The Police - Don't Stand So Close to Me

2. Kayne West - Gold Digger

Why would I care?

Not at all as shewasn't smoking hot but she was a very mentallysharp graduate of fine arts and her discipline toward paintings was heavily into the abstract and mixed-media and she was actually pleased to find somebody who didn't expect her to paint perfect portraits. Pity she decided to pursue a doctorate on the other side of the states but it was probably for the best.

I would assume the man must be fairly successful and the lady is fairly beautiful

This is actually not that uncommon...

How'd she choose him over me? :(

To be honest, I think it's somewhat disgusting. I mean, that's one heck of an age gap. That's almost like me, a 17-year old guy, going out with a 33-year old woman.:|

or if you go the other way

A 1 yr old baby

It can only come down to this... Gold Digger or.... Real LoveMistressMinako

In my experience it's always been morbid curiosity.

What job does he have and how much does he get paid.

They are consenting adults.

If you really care about this, you have too much time on your hands.

If she is hot and the guy is a monster then "lucky him".

I don't disagree but she was a bit different for a young kid and wasn't prone to prattling on about the usual things that I hear 20 something rattling on about on a regular basis. But I'm sure if she remained in the area eventually the strain of the age difference would've become too much. I always think back to some old Steve Martin bit in which he likened getting older to the shutting of doors. When you are around much younger people they generally state "Hey! Let's go do this NEW thing!!!"

*sound of heavy door closing*

Like it's gross desire or something? The relationship will be unhealthy? I guess many people would think that it's gross.... but what do they have in common? I guess they would at least have one thing in common.MistressMinako

I'm not really talking about a regular relationship more of a series of dating type situations. It's not uncommon for people to wonder what it would be like to go out with somebody much younger or somewhat older than themselves just out of curiousity and fulfilling some need for different life experiences. In my case, even though I'm generally somewhat older than those surrounding me, I have a very high metabolism coupled witha very manic personality. This tends to give the impression that, although I'm somewhat older than they are, I'm probably a lot of fun to be around and a regular ball of energy. This makes the idea of going out with somebody a bit older somewhat more palatable idea.

"Don't care," comes to mind. "Wait, is she hot? Okay, don't care."

That some women dig older men?

Nothing actually...

I just don't get the whole attachment of gold-digger to the age gap if the woman is the younger one. It's always such a negative perception. Yet when its the guy who is younger there is no such thought.Sajedene

I don't necessary view that as a negative thing. Some ladies just like to know that their men have the financial means to support them, and some ladies in their 20s are aware that their 20 something boyfriend couldn't afford the type of lifestyle she wants whereas men in their 40s can. Plus men in that age group are typically more sophisticated and experienced in life and those qualities can be quite attractive to some ladies.

What they lack in physique they make up in other areas

But I do agree with the guys being younger bit... the guys even high five each other when it happens
