Except if the woman is rich, influential, famous, and generous. You get my drift ... of course. Therefore love like youth is wasted on the young. <br /><br />Men are expected to have last hurrahs at 60, 70, even beyond. Women are supposed to be dry in the heart and elsewhere when they start having hot flushes. Aaah ... i think i am getting out of control. Heha.

She was about 20 years older than me. The articles I read online seemed to say that it's okay for an older man to be with a younger woman, but not vice versa. But like you said: "Oh, well."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800590664272013743.post-38589425759683602802007-01-24T12:15:00.000+08:002007-01-24T12:15:00.000+08:00Brian!

And yet, Mrs. Bill was very insecure, not sure if the truth would change things between them.<br /><br />Which brings us to the age old but still raging gender equality fever. If Bill were older -- no matter by how much -- would this have mattered at all? Specifically, it is the gentle stereotypes, social expectations not the least of which are those of Bill's family -- these are the culprit here. <br /><br />I strayed into a chatting room not too long ago. One of the the first things everyone asks for is asl .. which at first stumped me. ASL ... i dont give asl, I said the few times i went there. I am here to chat, to exchange ideas ... not to look for someone of a certain age gender or location. But that marked me as someone not worth their time of day. <br /><br />Oh well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4800590664272013743.post-29854842013602843002007-01-24T07:06:00.000+08:002007-01-24T07:06:00.000+08:00Okay, AnnaManila, Sorry about the delay, but no, B...Okay, AnnaManila, Sorry about the delay, but no, Bill wouldn't have minded at all. That's why it was especially puzzling to him to only discover it after she died. He showed some humor about it, but I can imagine that it brought up questions at the worst possible time.<br /><br />My thinking is it's better not to hide things, but of course I'm certainly not the best advocate for transparency.

But don't be hard on them. <br /><br />Let me ask you: Would your friend Bill not have minded 30 years ago if he knew how old his bride-to-be really was? Perhaps she didn't wan't to take the risk of losing him -- no matter that it would have said a lot about Bill (a not very nice lot), if he had minded.<br /><br />Today, Bill might easily say: "what does age have to do with the essential self."
