Hmmm, i have read so so many stories that run parallel with this particular one, i know you cant help who you fall in love with..... but!

Its reported they are wanting their own child ! At 61 ??????? THAT is where my negative comments come into force. I know the press feed us these stories knowing the majority of us will think its bonkers but personally i think its sad, yes bonkers too, but mostly sad ( for her )

Of course the heart skips more than the 1 beat when we know someone ( other than our hubby ) finds us appealing and for some it can have a serious effect, but then you read stories such as this 1 and i just feel sad for her and as for bringing a child into this, no just NO.

“But a 40 year old woman is not going to start a new relationship with a 70 year old man because of sexual attraction. And vice versa.”
Really GagaJo?

That isn't my experience.

A transactional relationship is one where the parties concerned benefit in some way. An elderly man with a 30 year old woman benefits from the social status of having arm candy and the sexual favours of a young, firm fleshed woman. The young woman benefits from the financial wealth of the man and also maybe from his social status as a powerful man. And vice versa for older women with younger men.

There will be exceptions. But they are rare.

I would definitely not want to expose my aged body to the critical eyes of a 27 year old man.

I don't think it's visa related.
But I feel much younger now after reading that article ?? as I am nowhere near as wrinkly as she is!!
I wonder if he would want to sleep with the surrogate, to try them out?
I don't mind the age gaps between people, as long as both are above the age of consent.
Babies, however, are quite the other thing! She looks ready to croak it at any minute. Is he going to drop the poor baby on her whole he goes out with the lads every weekend? And most week nights, too?
WHY would she even be thinking of babies at her age? Grandchildren, yes, as you can hand them back when you're tired.
Well, not my circus!!
