How do you feel about this1c84? Maybe I'm just small minded, but it seems kind of weird.

Biology > culture. Biology wins and will always win. Even in this "modern" times, women prefer to date men that have more resources than themselves, are taller than themselves etc. Try to convince women that the men they date nowadays dont need to be taller than themselves anymore like in the "olden" dark ages. Good luck convincing men not to be attracted to breasts since they are primitive secondary sexual characteristics that denote fecundity. I mean, nowadays, they can just ask a woman about her fecundity status and so protruding breasts are outdated. Also, women are not independent. They have simply replaced the man with the state. The state provides them with the resources and protection that she used to get from the man. Also, all the hypergamy and slave morality will not stop men from seeing a man dating a woman that is 20 years older than himself as normal, hence this thread. "Its the modern times" is not an argument as to why that should be seen as normal given that its existence is based on slave morality and hypergamy, while the opposition to the practice is based on millions of years of evolution.

Wow! Your women go barren in their late 30s? Yikes! Ours reach menopause in their mid-late 50s. We must seem like Vulcans to you guys, lol. What's your ethnicity btw? Just curious about your short lifespan. I read that pygmies have short lifespans, are you a pygmy?

Thanks, do your men go sterile early? I guess the point stands for you guys but not with ours. Are you a pygmy?
I've never met a pygmy before, how long is your lifespan? Do you find it weird that we have longer lifespan than you guys? -

I do think it's kinda of strange. It, however, is not just the number, it's question of maturity. An older woman is expected to conduct herself in a particular manner as she gets older, and men, as we all know, do not mature as quickly as quickly as women. You also never stop maturing as you get older, I'd like to observe. So here's, an instance where I do find it weird. The man I'm currently married to dated a woman who was 20 years older than himself (before we met, of course). He was in the navy and in his mid to late 20's. What was he doing? Boozing it up and partying, and she did it with him. She also has a son that's his age. Yes age is just a number, but I find her conduct, a woman in her 40's at the time, inappropriate.

I think it is a bit close minded to judge someone else's relationship by your own experiences or society's standards. You mention that men are not as mature as women. That is not always the case and to say that is giving in to stereotypes. My fiance, for one, is extremely mature, does not party or drink, and has his finances and everything completely in order. He is two years younger than me. And since this topic is about Hugh Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness, I will also use Hugh as an example. Yes, Deb is almost 13 years older than Hugh, but have you read about Hugh Jackman's reputation, even before he was a Hollywood star? This is a man who worked many odd jobs to support himself, has always been responsible, and chose to attend drama school for 3 years rather than starring in Neighbors and getting instant fame (he was offered instant money and fame in Australia to star in Neighbors and instead, chose to further his education). I think it was Hugh's brother who said that initially he felt it would be a stretch for Hugh to play a rebel like Wolverine because in real life, Hugh had never even gotten a speeding ticket. Hugh is known to be very spiritually grounded and was that way when he and Deb met, even according to people who went to drama school with him. They say he never even missed a class during drama school, was always punctual, never got into trouble, and was a complete gentleman. There is a reason he is never in the tabloids. He also does not party much despite being a Hollywood actor now. This man was very mature when Deb met him, and she says he is actually more responsible than she is. Based on interviews I've seen with Deb, I highly doubt she would have married Hugh if she felt he was less mature than she is.

What does age matter when two people find his/her soulmate in each other?
I do remember seeing a photo of the two of them on an Australian beach watching the sunset together, with Deb wrapped in Hugh's arms. Their backs practically faced the camera and they obviously did not see the photographer who took advantage of the opportunity to get a photo of the couple. It seemed such a romantic and loving image!
I have also seen an interview that both of them conducted together to honor Barbara Walter's retirement they were practically finishing each other sentences, so ingrained was their relationship with each other. And when Barbara requested Hugh to sing "I'VE GROWN ACCUSTOMED TO HER FACE" ( her favorite song), Hugh did it as if she was really his true love interest but not before he asked leave from Deb - such a lovely gesture!
They will be married 20 years this year and Hugh, when asked in an interview if he has already thought of what to do, shared that he has already been thinking about it but that it is going to be a surprise for Deb!
Btw, if you believe in zodiac signs there is an interesting analysis on how a female Sagittarian can be very compatible with a male Libran

I don't have a problem with the age gap. I'm 34, I wouldn't mind being with a 48 yo woman. as long as she's beautiful. And the thing is that chick isn't. THAT'S what's weird to me, that a guy like Hugh freakin Jackman can be married to a very VERY plain-looking woman, who seems to be using botox, or has a bad plastic surgeon, depending on the pics I've seen of her
Well, at least, you can be sure it's genuine love
- Booker, are you afraid of God ?
- No. But I'm afraid of you.

He met her before16d0 most of his todays fans had no idea who Hugh Jackman was. And beauty is a weird thingI actually think she is very good looking for her age and she was beautiful actress when he married her. And I am a woman so I am a bit biased in this - for example, many women swear Channing Tatum is handsome and sexy and I think he is an ordinary, uncharismatic guy. It differs from person to person.
And they love each other, thats all that matters and tbh, it is none of our business

I don't see anything wrong with men who like women that are older than them If women like men that are older than them nobody would say anything If a woman was 34 and she was dating a 48 year old man nobody would be bothered big age gaps don't mean anything once a person is 18 and over it's only matters if the person is under 18 i think it's better if the woman is older than the man you can be a toyboy at any age if a 35 year old man got married to a 50 year old woman he would still be a toyboy because he is a lot younger than her on this article there a 90 year old woman who married her 78 year old toyboy they have been togeth111cer for 34 years they have known eachother for 36 years he was 42 and never married when he met her and she was a 54 year old divorced grandmother if he was 12 years older than his wife when they got married nobody would say a thing i wonder why did they wait for 34 years to get married.
