For some reason I'm seeing this a lot lately, probably the most well known being the singer Katharine McPhee who is 30 marrying a guy who is 69. My theory is young women today can't find men their age because these young guys are all leftist indoctrinated and are afraid of being men because being masculine today is "toxic".

The high probability of divorce and being divorce raped and a payer of alimony and child support for two decades is what’s turning men off from marriage.

Its a one person contract only, only enforced on the man.

She should have dated a guy like this......

The notion of marriage seems increasingly unattractive to many people.

You know, one time, in a comedic refrain, I heard Rodney Dangerfield say, “Beautiful kids. Beautiful kids. You have beautiful kids. Thank God my wife had the presence of mind to cheat on me”.

Just gonna leave that here...

I’d bet fake news to draw views. Story only shows up on shady sites.

My parents were 43 and 41 when they adopted me. They already had 2 daughters in high school. They adopted another son 3 years later.

I was 20 when my dad died, so I had a pretty good amount of time with him.

I'm not having kids because I don't want one to inherit this mental illness.

A police officer (now retired presumably on a pension with great benefits).
I just can’t imagine what $he $aw in him...must be his blue eyes.
It reminds me of a local retired FBI guy so old he can barely walk, puzzled about why a married neighbor was overtly hitting on him. Well, maybe she looked up your life expectancy...

She’s 24 and been with him 7 years. Oy Vey...

I don’t know the reason but can not fathom why a young woman would want to be with an old guy.....it can’t be the sex...

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Now the couple are trying for a baby, but don’t know if it will be possible due to Larry having a vasectomy 18 years ago.

I sense a serious disconnect here . . .

[umgud]

Had a very close friend..... we were both 13. His mom in her 50’s and his dad in his early 80s. He died not long after that. Jack didn’t get to spend quality time with his dad. No hunting, fishing, outdoor activities. These age differences have an impact the offspring.

So, why did she marry him?

And of course, surely he can provide for her and the kid, even if he dies.

I also read that men of any age are able to father children.

[Innovative]

The vasectomy is a problem. But surely she knew that when she married him.

[grey_whiskers]

Does she have any sisters at home? /sarc>

[9YearLurker]

I have two different theories for this: $ and Daddy.

[jmacusa]

Adopt.

[sparklite2]

I’m a fan of McPhee and sad to see her choice of a mate.

I’m guessing that his vasectomy is as much of a factor as his age in their inability to have kids.
