<p>I don’t make an exception for Brad Pitt. He was already unfaithful when he was married to Jennifer Anniston. </p>
<p>George Clooney is 52. I was pleased to note that he is marrying (has married?) a woman who is 36.</p>
<p>The old guy who genuinely loves the beautiful young woman for her mind is like the guy who reads Playboy for the articles. They may exist, but not in enough numbers to affect the overall conversation.</p>
<p>My former boss is one of the most attractive men I’ve ever seen. Head-turningly gorgeous and always has been. when I was in my 20s, if I hadn’t been married, I would have been belighted to have an interlude with him for absolutely no money. In his early 40s he married a much younger woman who was accomplished, educated (on his dime) and a total frump. After they got divorced and she took him to the cleaners, he became involved with a woman closer to his age (he is now 60 and still gorgeous) who looks like a movie star.</p>
<p>Movie stars are different, I would have an affair with Angelie Jolie for her mind only. </p>
<p>

<p>You have a very literal turn of mind, it need not be an actual park. So the act of speaking to a younger women makes him creepy already? What’s the actual offense? Staring while old? If he is young enough, or he is George Clooney, is staring OK? If this creep retains such sexual feelings at his ripe old age, what should he do? Run to the nearest old folks home and stare at a nice old granny?</p>
<p>Sometimes people of disparate ages just like each and want to be together.</p>
<p>Is the old guy paying the woman? Is he paying for her travel, her shoes, her fancy vacations? Will she introduce him to her parents, and will he introduce her to his children? If they’re equal in wealth and intelligence…how often do your think that happens? I’ve known marriages in which there was a significant age gap. </p>
<p>There are also creepy young guys, too. Paying a woman to engage in “date” (-ish) behavior is usually a clue.</p>
<p>“This creepy old guy sitting in a park and striking up conversation with an attractive woman is not doing it for her intellectual prowess or wealth. She does not wear her IQ score or net worth emblazoned across her chest, and thats not why he is staring at it.”</p>
<p>To be fair, my husband wasn’t attracted to me for my intellectual prowess or wealth. I was just a cute girl in the cafeteria :-)</p>
<p>You gave an example of a creepy old guy sitting in a park. I took your example at your word. Why wouldn’t I? His staring would be creepy. When I see men leering at women, I find it creepy. If they are 30 or 70. If people have sexual feelings, more power to them. That doesnt give them the right to be creepy.</p>

<p>So? I remember hearing that when he said it (many of us actually do live here in the US and recall it–). So what? its Creepy. It was controversial. And creepy. Then and now. Ewww.</p>
<p>People have already warned against using political references so that this doesnt get shut down. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Actually, that is not correct, and possibly I was not clear enough.</p>
<p>SDs all would rather those relationship as well, but it did not work out for them and then a good number just stop looking for that relationship - at least for a while anyway - this is why the average SD is over 40. And just because they stop looking does not mean that they hate females or relationships, but more importantly, it does not mean they do not want the company of women. </p>
<p>Simply out, it is the usual fairy tale that SDs want for their daughters. Which Dad doesn’t? Just as they want the fairy tale girl for their sons. </p>
<p>To give the proper perspective, most SDs, if not all, would not mind a bit if their daughter and someone who was former SD to an SB fell in love and got married. And this is because the SD chooses females that he likes and who likes him and he does want to treat the SB nice. The SD is not just with the female for sex. Therefore, the SD understands that a guy could have been an SD, for whatever reasons, but then met a real better-half who happens to be his daughter and settles down. </p>
<p>Referencing a public figure doesn’t make it political.</p>

<p>I had them engaging in an amiable conversation. You made him into a staring creep.</p>
<p>This is not directed at any particular poster, but 230 posts later, I’m starting to wonder how many old guys (defined however you want) are on CC just trying to be “helpful” to beautiful Ivy wannabes?</p>
<p>I am not usually one to link videos, but the Sex in the City “Samantha and the older man” seem a propos about now

<p>This thread reminds me of a story. One of my college friends, “Jane,” had a long-term relationship with a smart, kind young man, “John.” She didn’t know that he was heir to a considerable fortune until they were already in love. After a couple of years, she broke up with him because he had no direction (which was true, although in his defense, he didn’t need to have direction). </p>
<p>I called my mother to say, “Can you believe it? Jane broke up with John! She said it’s because he has no direction.”</p>
<p>My (Jewish) mother said: “So he’s single now?”</p>
<p>How do you tell they are beautiful by looking at the screen names?</p>
<p>Oh sorghum stop being ridiculous. You gave and an example that some old guy struck up a conversation with an attractive young woman of his equal intellectual and financial stature. In your hypothetical, he would have no way of knowing this, so its clear he wasn’t striking up the conversation because of her financial or intellectual prowess. And if she was sitting there bedazelled in jewels and expensive clothes and pocketbooks, maybe shes already someone elses SB.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yep, I was upfront with my wife that I was blown away by her looks in 2 seconds. I still remember her standing under that tree on the freshman quad on her move-in day. </p>
<p>Based on the school we were at, I knew she had serious brains, all the girls did. The college admissions process essentially took care of that criteria for me, and I did not need to screen for intellectual prowess, just compatibility in other things.</p>
<p>Maybe she was a development admit. Might have been short on the brains but long on the $$$$$$$</p>

<p>I saw an SD in action looking at potential SB profiles on his iPad. Real SBs put up portfolio of pics, and all the SDs and SBs both exchange pics prior to the first meeting. </p>
