And what happens is said younger girl is sicker than you when you are 90 and she is 70? Younger doesn't always indicate healthier or more capable.
Richard_39 said:Actually, it's a lot more selfish in my case. I don't want someone to "clean up" or that "typical housewife" trope. I'm a progressist, and I entirely agree with women's liberation going on for 60+ years in that a woman is her own master and can do whatever she wants.
Same here. That's why a woman who doesn't want to clean up or be that typical housewife, is liberated to not marry me. I don't mean that anyone I like should agree to do that. I mean that if a woman is ready to do that out of her own wish, then she is eligible. Otherwise she is a strong independent woman and can choose among millions of other men instead of me or stay single, her choice.
What I want is someone to take care of ME lol.
I think one should keep in mind that there should be no hurry in getting married. If you have a partner and are worried about your age and thus get married in a hurry without understanding the person thoroughly, it can create problems.
That's why I don't see attraction as the only factor for successful relationships. If she loves you truly, she will take care of you.
I don't know how it is where you live, but here, we keep hearing horror stories of how old people are manhandled in retirement homes all the time.
Its different. People often suggest me the western ways to deal with my problems. That doesn't work for me. Speaking of retirement homes, I think there are some of them here, but not as many. But yes, women often beat husband's grandparents, oh come on I am from a place, which is known for its false dowry cases. Where a whole family is put behind bars if a woman files a dowry case.
But yes, a joined family is usually preferred.
I don't want to get beaten to a pulp when I'm 90 and impotent. So, having someone younger to take care of ME when I get that age...now it looks big. I'll be 40 in 2 years, say I find a girlfriend who's 20 then, I'll look like an old dirty ******* lol. Thing is, when I'm 90, she'll be 70...which to me is ideal.
Then take time to know your partner as deeply as possible. Marriage is not a goal, or an achievement. If marriage happens, then ok, but its not a basic human necessity.
Plus, there's my own personal fear, of being lonely, as well as dying alone. That terrifies me. When I'm that old, I don't want to be the last one there and all my friends are gone, with my kids visiting once a month. I don't want to die alone and miserable, so having someone younger (if I'm lucky and she doesn't develop health problems) will solve that.
Pretty selfish when you think about it, but there it is.
I know, I used to think too that if I died first, then I won't have to live with the fact that someone of us is gone. But now I don't feel that anymore.
she can go around dating younger men. I'm fine with that.
Lol.... that's ....... that's....... nevermind.
To me it's not about a typical "family". That doesn't really exist anymore. It existed a century ago maybe, but times have changed. I just want someone to be with me when I'm old. ;-)
Keep looking, you will find someone. I have passed that desire. I am not really in need of someone anymore. IF someone comes, then fine, but I can live without it.

I guess a person with an open mind won't care if his wife dates younger men when he is old right? So it shouldn't matter if she is not with him then... should it?SilentLife said:But... once she starts dating younger men, why do you think she could be attracted to take care of you at old age? Be with other men and still be with you too?

That's very-very open-minded thinking. Unconditional love and letting her do, what she wants...

By the way. I think if you are 90, then I guess your daughters can change your diapers if you really need that and if they really love their dad!

Be kind to me. That really is all it takes to catch my interest.

Now, what matters most? Money, ***, consumerism, hypocrisy, deception etc.

SilentLife said:It is a vastly different topic, but very interesting nonetheless.
Personally I am not sure pre-1960 was really better, probably actually worse in several ways. Remember, we had two world wars. So societies were pretty sick already back then, just in different ways. Also levels of medicine and hygiene were worse, which I am personally pretty concerned about.
But in some ways people were different back then. Because objectively everyday life was tougher. You had to work harder and didn't have time for all kind of BS. In some ways modern life is 'too comfortable'. Potentially it would be a good thing, but the sad part is the effect it has had on people's mindset. People take everything for granted and don't grasp the human history very well.

It's true though that the levels of tolerance were lower back in the day, as also Richard mentioned in his post. Minority groups and anyone "different" could be harshly treated. That's how we got all those wars after all.
