Welcome to LP forum ChristianBachelor. I was pretty cool with him, but other does threw a jab or 2 at him. I'm nice to everybody.

I don't think age is different in love. I think if you are not happy with someone, it does not matter he or she younger or older.  It's all about being happy and enjoy each other company.  Not most young and beautiful girls love money........everyone loves money. Just my 2 cents  

Hugh Hefner is engaged to Crystal Harris, who is 60 years his junior. He still has his plenty of admirers out there.

The guy isn't after anyone's 18 year old daughter. The fact is that 20 - 25 year old girls are considered fully grown adults, and I'm in that age bracket.  

At the end of the day, he has the right to date/marrry anyone he wants, so we should just accept who he is and let him live his life.

@ ChristianBachelor: I am currently married to a wonderful woman who means the world to me, but I was married 2 times before. My first ex-wife is almost 7 years younger than I am. My second was almost 14 years younger. Not too much of an age difference the first time, yet I could tell it was there. The second time was a different story completely. My current wife is only 6 months younger than I am, and even though we come from opposite sides of the planet, with a different language, faith, and culture, we are more akin to think alike than I was with my second wife. Age matters. Don't fool yourself. If you want to be happy, find someone about your age who has similar likes and dislikes. Harmony being the strength and support of all institutions, especially "Marriage." Best of luck.

Perspectives come from our societies, often times.

One of the things you notice in the Bible is that God never gave old women to His servants on earth.

When God the Father brought about the virgin birth, Mary was 12 (or early 13) when she was given the Christchild to carry via the immaculate conception.

When David grew old a beautiful 16 year old was brought in to lie with David, to keep him warm, without sexual relations.  1 Kings 1:2-4.

The book of Esther is another example how a woman, based upon beauty, was chosen to save God's people.

In our world today, some people, looking to make problems, set themselves out to be God, or even judges.  The day of Judgment will indeed have a judge, but even He, the Judge of all (Romans 8:19-23) does not judge until the appointed time of judgment.  When we make  ourselves out to be judges, we make our selves out to be gods.  If any of us were to be the judges of mankind, there would be no hope for any of us.

I don't understand why some people want to build bon fires and accuse others, but alas, it seems to be a world wide cultural thing.

William, please do not take offense.  I was hurt, and I was  grateful for what you wrote.  MY intent was not to express ungratefulness for your writing.

William, I am not sure that modern day marriage statistics are even fairly acquired.

marriage has become something far less valuable than what it once was.

Most of America's early wives were ordered from Sears Catalogues, when all the men had to see were stick pictures of what they were getting.

Arranged marriages with no "way out" had great success.  When do the observations of age difference begin? what is the test sampling. I question a great deal about the age in which we live.

Perhaps most of us are wrong, and perhaps the answer lies elsewhere, in a great many things.

Thank you for being a man who counts his words.

Dear Tee:

In Asia, as well as Christianity and all decent societies, whether a woman has been with a man previously is an important issue.

In some countries, and cultures within Asia, girls marry off  very young.

In many countries, hawks from China, Korea, etc. get them very young and do bad things before they get old enough to establish their new life.

In many countries of Asia, the privileged classes merely close their eyes to other countrymen of assorted cultures.

I don't know the answers, but I know that societies, as they are today, are not solving much.

When a man goes for an older woman, she often has been with other men.

When a man goes with an older woman, she often has children.

When a man goes with an older woman, she is often jaded by past relationships and enters those relationships with baggage.

From the Bible, I remind that Timothy was commissioned to train elders before he, himself, was old enough to be an elder.

Timothy was also commanded to NOT allow anybody look down on his youth, but to study to show himself a workman who did not need to be ashamed.

We are going down to the lowest common denominator far far too often.

We are not to encourage "people swapping" (wives swapping husbands and vice versa).  So many men find a beautiful woman, who is not in original condition (and vice versa), and we want him, or her.   But we do not fight with all of our might to restore her to the love of her youth.  (and vice versa).  We are not to be changing people, we are to find one, and keep that one.  We are not 7-11's of flesh, we are people, who are to be holy and pure.

Usually, women over 30 have already been compromised.

When we find a woman who has left the partner of her youth, we should not lure her towards us, we should do all in our power to restore her to the partner of her youth.

Everything is whacked.  Everything is out of alignment.

Our societies need holiness, godliness, and restoration to fellowship with our God
