Age difference of married couples where to draw the line

Smart women regardless of age will see that drive to succeed and even smarter women will lend a hand in that success.

This young man I have been coaching is currently 22 and he now owns his own home, has two rental buildings, works two jobs....well on his way to success. He has this girl living with him who he believes he is really in love with. Now I know this girl, she wants a better life than the way she grew up lights on lights off as her mother can't always afford the electric bills because her mother works a 9 to 5er and vacations every few months doesn't invest in her self or her future. So this young man buys a ring and proposes to this girl in front of her entire office, this is after he went and spoke to both her parents in advance and asked for for their blessing which he got with no restrictions, this guy is a really good guy. Anyways, she turns him down because she wants to be with someone who takes her out for dinner and spends more time with her. Later in life after she has been married and or with someone who spends more time with her she is going to be really sorry that she turned away the best man she is probably ever going to land. Quite honestly I am pissed that she has made such a stupid decision based on selfishness and the failure to see past getting out of the same damn rut she has seen her mother in.

I would not begrudge this girl for turning your buddy down. It seems that she made a very mature decision. I'm assuming she is around the same age and, at that age, it's very easy to get caught up in the whole marriage thing. Your friend seems to be very driven to succeed and maybe he was not as attentive to his girlfriend (as she would have liked). There are lots of fish in the sea. She will find hers and he will find his. No rush.
 
Some women prefer their men to spend time with them than seeing their men spending the time making the extra money, as long as the guys are not broke to start with.

Having said that, I need to go make some extra money.
 
I'm surprised how age can change one's look by so much.

I checked more pictures of "Duchess of Alba" and she wasn't a bad looker back in the days but now she looks so different.

Sad how aging can change the look so much ...

I just turn 40 and I had a 20 years old girl who was just in love with me.

I had a great time with her, but at the end, it wasn't feasible because her mentality was just too immature.


One thing that really bothered me was the none stop texting day in and day out, with me or with her other friends.

I guess I'm just an old school. I told her maybe in couple of years if both of us are still single.

It was tough because when we had fun, we had fun.

Exactly the same thing but it was 45/28. Almost made the formula :biggrin:.

If it doesn't matter to the people involved, it doesn't matter. Who cares what anyone else thinks.
