I think there is a word missing somewhere...RICH ?

[Arthur Little]

Well ... ... SHE'S bound to feel old age creeping upon HER in the middle of the night! But that being the case, the is likely to "snuff it" ere long!

[grahamw48]

Arthur, I think in his case it would more likely be a case of shuffling rather than creeping.

For me, in terms of logic it doesn't sit right.
But then love is not a logic.
In terms of emotion, it only just sits fine.
But then she's not my daughter. (does that make me a hypocrite?)

It's a real nice story though with a proper courtship and family blessing,
so, super happy days of love to them both.

[grahamw48]

Even I think it's slightly creeepy.

Well, here's one good example of the Large Age Gap thread..only the guy is not a westerner.. In that thread, some said that an old westerner having a relationship with a very young Filipina wouldn't be bothered of the age gap as the guy's just probably lonely or something like that and are allowed to love no matter what..and with this news, some is suggesting the guy is probably rich or the relationship might be creepy. Whether the guy is a westerner or not, I think it's creepy being in that very large age gap relationship. Just my opinion.

Diversity is the spice of life

[grahamw48]

Not saying I wouldn't say no, if I was 80.

I'd be happy if I was just 'capable' at that age...and alive.

[Arthur Little]

Aye ... you're probably RIGHT ...

... shuffling off his mortal coil.

[Iani]

Deary me

No, I'm speechless, ok

[gWaPito]

Its an example that shows women do indeed have a shelf life....and us men flower forever more

Oh well, doesn't have to wait long till he dies and she gets to bring in the house and choose the boyfriend she always dreamed of.

Or the one she's already got.

[hawk]

[grahamw48]

This is definitely a man's thread.
