I would bet any money

[notb665]

I would place a large bet that if a middle aged man is strolling in a park with a woman in her 20s and they are holding hands, in a lunch hour, they are having an affair.

What is darn obvious to you?

 

[scatmanjohn]

That you are bored

 

[notb665]

That you don't live in Colombia.

 

[scatmanjohn]

Prove it!!!

....and I'll bet he's the company boss. She wouldn't look at him twice if he were the toilet cleaner.

No fool like an old fool.

The middle aged man could be rich, and if you have money, you have a trophy on your arm, just look at MR stringfellow

There is an old saying, that is often uttered when people are trying to fathom the attraction between a couple, when it isn't obvious at first glance. Perhaps the woman is a rocket scientist and the man is stupid. Perhaps the man is short and dumpy and the woman has a perfect body...

You ready?

"Perhaps he's got a massive c***?"

Of course, he might just be a fantastic bloke with a brilliant sense of humour and an extensive knowledge of all the things that interest her. And she could be someone who doesn't see age differences as a big deal. Some years ago I was seeing someone many years older than me. Wasn't an affair, and when questionned on the age difference I would simply use the analogy of a car:

You can either buy yourself a brand new Ford Fiesta, or you could buy yourself a top-of-the-range Jaguar with a few miles on the clock for the same money: which would you rather drive?!

Hugh Grant: 40-something now, but I bet there are plenty of 20-something women who, given the chance, would wear it down to a stump.

That is an assumption and shows how people can get the wrong idea from a few facts ie just looking, What if they were father and daughter?

Or married (Or she had the most expensive plastic surgery

But what's most obvious to me = what's age really got to do with love, kindness, true feelings?

Is that what you call those THINGS he wears on his arm?

 

[pickles]

I agree, an affair.

Relationships in the uk between middle aged men and young totty are always based on wealth/status. Unless of course father and daughter although hand holding is a bit OTT. We live in an ageist society and young people only fancy their own age group, unless there's money or security in it for them

You have to go to places like Thailand to get away from that attitude

I'm not sure the same is true of older women and young men, most blokes will take any chance they get, which is a bit sad really. It makes you blokes look like mugs compared to us women who are choosy

 

[markie]

Softus, i'v got a trophy but she looks after the kids, so she's not on my arm much now ps, so pickles your female, i thought you were male no offence btw

 

[Softus]

Don't wish to be sycophantic pickles, but I'd assumed that you were female - always very wise and sensible, never rising to any bait like us testosterone-fuelled monsters on the forum.

I'm curious though; are you a judge, pickles?

 

[noodlz]

Just what I always think Softus when see the nick...the hanging kind

...but posts show with great sense of humour
