And then some of us just blab on and on about things that mean nothing and try to convince ourselves that people think we're swell.
It comes down to this: if a young, good-looking woman wants to marry an older man for security and to dedicate her life to being a good housewife, what is so wrong with that? The answer is nothing, it's just that feminists have been hollering for so long about it, it was made to look like a bad situation, when it many times isn't.
Please, please, please change your screenname. Please !!!!!!
But I think that in real life, you and I would honestly get along swell. I don't think there would be all this bickering. I may witch about you sometimes, but really, I still like you as a person. I could even go out to coffee and chit-chat with you.
I still don't see anything wrong with that.
I hear tell, he will sue anyone and could probably make you a rich woman some day. If he's not available there are plenty of others that are just as "exciting" and could offer you security.
Again.......I realize that you probably fall way short. But if you ever were a trophy wife, you would eventually be an old, dusty trophy wife and as long as hubby-poo still had some green stuff to wave around, you would probably be replaced.
Of course I can understand how a nice Christian girl like you would see nothing wrong with this.
IDIOT !!!!!!!!!!!
I am on my way tonight to get some life experience, drink some adult beverages, and of course, hit on 50 year old men, like you say.
Ta, ta, for now :)
Which one of the Nancy Drew mysteries are you reading tonight?
I agree totally. There are many things more important than an age difference (within reason).
And don't let anyone tell you there is something wrong with having friends older than you are. It's much preferrable than joining some superficial clique of people your own age, simply because others tell you "that's the way it's supposed to be".
By the way, you've handled yourself pretty well in response to some petty personal attacks here :-)
It's sad to watch. But not surprising considering Acton's observation that "power corrupts". For too many people, being part of the winning team is more important than fundamental principles.
Conservatives need to wake up before it's late for our Republic.
