I saw on CNN today that Linda Hogan (50 ), ex wife of Hulk Hogan, is now engaged, engaged to Charlie Hill, a friend of her son. Charlie is 21. Now I don’t know this to be gospel, but I’m guessing that Charlie is a mimbo.
That’s perfectly OK with me. I wish her only the best.
Would I want to do that? Not so much. Which is to say never.
Why? Why would any older woman really want to do that? That is be with someone so drastically younger.
Years ago, there was always an obvious reason for why an older woman would want a younger guy. Most older guys couldn’t either get it up or keep it up. Or if they were lucky enough to they were good for once a night- maybe. Guys in their 20′s and 30′s are like the Energizer Bunny. They can just keep on going and going and going…
But with the advent of Viagra, any man, regardless of age or infirmities, has the ability to turn his significant other into a piece of ground round with his tallywhacker by taking that one tiny blue pill. Now they too can just keep going and going and going…something that not all wives are completely thrilled about, so I’ve heard.
I mean what would you have to talk about? I guess you talk about a movie or meal that you shared; but what after that? When I talk to Nate (22) and Amanda (24) about current events, most of the time our views are pretty similar. But on some topics our opinions are vastly different, different because I’ve been there and done that; something that they have yet to do. Life experiences can just really change the way you see things sometimes.
Also, I don’t know one woman in her fifties who doesn’t have menobrain moments. Our friends and family expect and usually accept them. (Of course sometimes that acceptance comes with the rolling of their eyes or the WTF? hands.) But would a 20 something really want to have to put up with menobrain moments all the time? OK, maybe at the very beginning, when it’s still laser beam eyes time, but what after the laser beam stops and reality sets in.
You can’t share memories of college, his parents may not even have been in college when you were. Then there’s the whole dynamic of his family to deal with.
And when you talk about your childhood, pre computers, pre I phones and pre IMAX you’ll sound like you dated Fred Flintstone and grew up eating brontoburgers.
I just don’t get it. Am I confused? Is there something I’m missing?
I am thinking 21 is too young, too. Now a 35 year old…see I am still thinking about the Boy Toy I have been dreaming about lately.

Twenty one is too young for me. Now, Isaiah Mustafa, the Old Spice guy is I think 36…
It’s all about eye candy and trophy spouses. Not my deal…but it makes for stimulating sales on TV and rag mags…
Cosmetic surgery will never be the answer to their woes, either, but they don’t KNOW that. YET.
Live and learn. They will.
Meantime, we will just smile that knowing smile cuz we know what has not even occurred to them. grin
Laughingly,

I think you’re right M.C. I must be Doug’s trophy wife! LOL.

She’s almost 10 yrs. younger than I am. I fear I’ll be in those big-ass diapers before she will. Then we’ll see how well “for better or worse” really works out!
I’m always amazed by couples who have a huge age gap. I do wonder how they communicate. Their experiences are so different. I would think that it would be hard to relate to each other.

I honestly can’t imagine it for a long-term relationship. To me it would just be bizarre. How was the rest of your birthday, Fred? Thanks for stopping by.
I think HE is the weirder of the two–what’s wrong that he can’t find a girl closer to his own age than his mother’s? And what on earth does his mother think??? If my son brought home a friend of mine, I’d toss them both out.
I predict this won’t last very long–he’ll tire of her and want some young chick eventually. At 21, most guys are still pretty immature, and he’ll figure it out eventually.

You know Susan. if Brett brought home a woman my age I think for once in my life I’d be truly speechless. How was your conference in Dallas?
This reminds me of the song “Hey Nineteen” by Steely Dan. Yes, it’s about cocaine, etc., but the real gist is the difference in their ages and how hard it is to connect. Linda Hogan probably is up on the pop culture stuff, but as said before, there is no commonality on things before this child was born. Whatever are they going to talk about when the dementia sets in and all she wants to talk about is her younger years? Maybe he’ll consider it a history lesson! It won’t last.
Oh you spreader of doom and gloom. Don’t you believe that true love can transcend a few pesky decades between the lovers?
