My 54 yo uncle is marrying a woman who is 25.

I still don't get over the fact that parents are totally okay with it.
Like surprised at first and then were like whatever his life.
And it is his life indeed but...WHAAT ? Nearly 30 years age gap ? She's closer to my age.
And no it is not for the money, her family is rich af.
The heck is happening ???

Some younger women have a thing for older men, that's what the heck is happening. It's not always about the money, in fact it rarely is.

@NankerPhelge I have a thing for older men, not old men. 30 years is too much

@ArwenPandora I wouldn't call 54 [i]old[/i]. I'm 56 myself and I still don't feel [i]old[/i]. Just a little bit older than I was when I was 25. Lol :)

@NankerPhelge And I can guarantee you that any 18 to 25 person would qualify above fifty as old.

@ArwenPandora You'd be surprised how many girls in that age group actually [i]are[/i] attracted to guys aged 50+. I know quite a few of them.

@NankerPhelge That is called Daddy issues. And linking wise, responsible, mature men with older.
Don't take it bad btw, that I said people my age think 50+ are old, it is just like a 4 yo kid would say " when I'm 18...", thinking 18 means adult and all, and it is really not.

@ArwenPandora I know what you are saying, Arwen, it's just that I've never really felt my age. I've always had a tendency to act somewhat younger than I really am, although I've never lied about my age. I think it could be called Peter Pan issues. Lol :)
