Which do you think is best, older woman with younger man or older man with younger woman?

@ninalanyon My gf is 7 years older and nothing is happening anymore. Too many health issues. Her knees, hips, and rotator cuff are constantly in pain. Still friends but I have no expectations or other prospects.

@Tastyfrzz Surely hip pain can be addressed by a hip replacement?

@ninalanyon At some point but they can have lots of problems too.

@Tastyfrzz I had a colleague who had both replaced and was delighted with it. The general rule here in Norway is that you can get a hip replacement when pain killers are no longer good enough for you. Constantly in pain sounds like it passes the test.

@Tastyfrzz A bit off topic. I just read your About Me again. I was struck by the last two sentences:
[quote] I am not conservative. I'm an engineer.[/quote]
Did you mean them to go together? I'm also not a conservative and I am an engineer. And when I read those two sentences I read them as "I am not conservative because I'm an engineer."

@ninalanyon two spaces after the period. Got it.

@Tastyfrzz Nothing to do with typography, just apposition.

@ninalanyon appa what??? Sorry. I'm basically illiterate.

@ninalanyon a relationship between two or more words or phrases in which the two units are grammatically parallel and have the same referent (e.g. my friend Sue ; the first US president, George Washington

@Tastyfrzz You don't sound illiterate to me.
