What does it mean when a guy talks about his wife and says "She is 6 years older then I am?"
Then he is what? I'm not mentioning any names, but one guy on here said that and he won't explain the meaning of his unfinished sentence.

@Bootsiebaby Was he addressing envelopes? Transcribing the directions for building a bomb? He made an error.

I had read the original post before coming here because I was confused by how you could be confused by what he typed. I didn’t realize that he had typed “then” instead of “than” until reading comments here.
What he typed was technically wrong. However, given the context of the question he was answering, it was clear to me what he meant; hence why I did not pick up on his mistake.
Many people mix up “then” and “than” as they can sound similar and are spelled nearly the same. So comparing that to “street” and “road” is like comparing apples and oranges.

Some people don't always know the correct words to use, or they sometimes absent-mindedly type things wrong. He probably doesn't even realize his mistake.
While I don't have proof of this, I'm sure that that's what happened.
When I looked at the post, I saw that this was a good friend of mine. I'm sure that he wouldn't purposely try to confuse you. He's not the kind of person who would do that.

@Bootsiebaby Thanks for giving him the benefit of the doubt. :)
I don't know why he didn't understand what you were getting at. The only reason I can think of is that he didn't think to look back at what he had typed, or he didn't realize that it was incorrect.
As for how he could confuse those words, I can't say for sure, except that perhaps he had heard others use the word "then" when they meant "than" from an early age, and so it seemed right to him. Again, I don't know this for a fact, as I haven't asked him, but that could explain it. It could have become a habit, one that was learned from his elders. That would be my best guess. 🤷♀️

It's just a typo for "than me". Six years ain't really a big difference once you're past your early 20s.... When I was about 29 I had a fling with a woman in her mid-40s - one of the best shags I've ever had (puffs chest up)!
I've re-read the exchange between to 2 of you - he obviously DIDN'T re-read what he'd actually typed or he wouldn't have replied as he did.

It means he has no class.

@TeresaRudolph71 Well since you didn't give us the context how can you expect us to give you a proper reply?
TeresaRudolph71 · 51-55, F
@Abrienda Well, I wasn't the one who posted the question, so I can't really answer that question for her. She did share the link with someone else, so I just thought that I would share it with you now.

Exactly as he states. His wife is older than he is by six years. Nothing to be confused about.
