These are good points. One problem I had with guys my own age is, their Neptune is conjunct my Venus. This is great in the early phases of a relationship but time after time it would just fall apart. Also I have Venus trine Saturn and have always been attracted to older men. My first celebrity crush was on Marlon Brando in Superman. I was like, four. IP: Logged |

That's interesting. All my friends think I'm going to eat my words someday and marry a much older guy. They keep expecting me to introduce them to some professor bf of mine. A couple of my closest friends have even placed bets... And I guess it would make sense according to my cappy venus (in the 6th house) conjunct saturn, but... That's just not how I roll. Maybe other placements are balancing it out, I don't know. Or maybe my parents' marriage scarred me. IP: Logged |

My father is 8 year older than my mother, their marriage if a failure and I dislike him but that didn't cause me to reject older men >_> I can stay objective enough. ------------------ I'm sooo happy! I mean, cappy. IP: Logged |

Lol...dating is not marriage, is it? Though it sometimes leads to it...I dated a much younger man...and married him. In many ways he was older than I. But when it came to parenting, he wasn't ready. He suddenly realized he'd limited his options too soon. Years later he became a good father and I believe he is a good man and husband to his second wife...but his responses to responsibility were the opposite of mine and we had to split up. That said, even today though we are friends, i couldn't live his wife's lifestyle. I still have friends of all ages, from 17 to 92 (my oldest friend died in '12 age 99) IP: Logged |

Idk if this has been said,but maturity level is important.I'm 8 years younger than the guy I'm sorta involved with.I'm 25 he's 33.As a cap rising saturn dominant person,I'm very mature,even kinda boring. But a few weeks ago he began flirting with a girl in her late teens.She acts like my 13 year old sister.That just confuses me and it's a little disturbing. But whatever floats someones boat.

There's a gender angle as well. Things look different when the genders are reversed. Even if it is strictly business, I would be extremely hesistent to invite a young female associate singularly to lunch (maybe two or three together is ok) simply because of perception/reputational issues. The hassle is not worth it. Men are also pigs with porcine-like logic. Spot an attractive woman 20 years or 30 years younger and, therefore, I must be boinking her. Like I said, I know a 71 year old married to a 29 year old. The 71 year old has daughters and sons in their late 40s. What's the immediate stereotype? She must be a gold digger and he's a dirty old man, right? Well, he is well off and he is a dirty old man, and she is very sexy, but it isn't about gold digging because she comes from family wealth greater than his. IP: Logged |

Idk if her parents are extremely wealthy than maybe she didn't like her privileged life so much.Kids from that lifestyle often rebel because of all the expectations. I'd imagine that ****** of her parents. IP: Logged |

No, she doesn't obviously have daddy issues. We all believe in astrology right? Synastry? Composite? Chemistry that can be objectively established in the charts? So with all that, you should be able to realize that the cookie-cutter diagnosis of "daddy issues" only spares you the effort of seeing things for what they are, in complexity, and maybe being a little more compassionate.

Lol am I the only one who thinks its cute when couples grow old together.. When they both getting greys are around the same time. Being at the same point past and present. It feels really nice to know someone you've grown and matured with let alone be in love with them. Knowing who you were before you became the present you. But I guess not everyone has that lol I don't I could have a more special bond with anyone else because they don't know all of me just the face I choose to show the world, now. IP: Logged |

lol too bad her husband is going to die way before her. That's really beautiful. I guess she can move on but I don't even see how people do that. Getting married to 71 before your 30 is just stupid to me. A lot of lovely golden girls in Miami too why not settle with them. Maybe I am more compassionate in real life but this is text of course it sounds blunt lol this is my opinion you guys can can get mad it makes no different to me but this is what I think and feel about age gaps IP: Logged |

For one to always push being gentle and nice to others I'm disappointed in you Ami. Who are you to judge anyone? Practice what you preach before you try giving people advice. IP: Logged |

***How many of your marriages here have lasted seven years, and are still loving, committed and strong?*** <awkward silence> Not directed at you, Padre. But folks who aren't married, cannot get married, failed at marriage, live in glass houses and ought not to throw rocks. Half the forum can't get a woman to take off her pants. Lectures about sex aren't forthcoming. IP: Logged |
