I don't see how a women can marry a man who's alot older then her. I know he might have alot of money, but in the long run letting him touch you and love you isn't worth the trade off, is it? Unless you really do love the man in a healthy way. Not just his money. What do you think?

i think you'd have to love someone to be with them. i hate seeing those money hungry women who just take all they can off a man.
i personally could not let anyone touch me if i did not love them. the big picture is about love not money and those who do marry for money are missing out on the most important things in life.
i don't think age is an issue either if you genuinely love the person for who they are.

Some women as well as some men marry someone who is a lot older than they are besides money. Maybe they look at someone older because they are looking for maturity and stability. They look for mother or father figures. They might have had a great relationships with their parents. It isn't always about money. Granted a lot of people end up in May-December romances out of money, but there are other reasons as well.
The only real risk of dating and marrying someone who is significantly older or younger than you are is generational issues and the fact you two are at different stages in your lives. Plus you will have to deal with death of a loved one sooner than later.

For me, the only way I can rationalize it is that it has to be for money and/or stability that the woman cannot provide for herself so she looks for an older man to "take care" of her (ie-lavish expensive things on her, take her on trips, etc). A man dies at a much younger age than a woman...why would you go into a relationship with someone that is going to die WAY before you? Women need to go YOUNGER!!
Then look at it from the flip side...why does a man want someone that is younger than him?? Yes...that is what I'm thinking too. It is such a generic thing to do for a man. Doesn't it get tiring having to "take care" of someone that is supposed to be your equal? I guess it makes them feel like a "man" because they have more financial control and are stable??
Don't know, don't wanna know, don't understand it.

I married a man 10 years older but not for money. Men as they get older settle down in their ways. They are done with the partying life and ready for the family life. I am happy with my husband sure it has its ups and downs like every marriage does. Now Anna Nicole Smith now that is plain gross marrying an old man as old as he was and you know it had to be for his money.

Who are we to judge? Just because a younger women is with an older guy, it doesn't mean that she is after his money. Has it ever occured to you that maybe they are actually inlove? When it comes to love, age is not a issue for alot of people. I think it's none of our buisness and they should be allowed to live their life WITHOUT people "assuming" it's all about money.

welll tell you the truth it depends on how much older he is. like a 20 yr old with grandpa yesss that about money and disguiting. but like 5-8 yrs older is not bad because men a re soooooo immature and i prefer older men so i can have acivialized convo with a mature man. it really has to do with the immaturity and i date a man who is 5 yrs older than me and he still is a little immature. but hey if a 20 yr can have sex with grandpa im sorry but she deserves the money. ya know???

Well, there are gold-diggers out there looking for sugar daddies. For them, it doesn't matter how he looks. His lavish gifts are all that matters.
But there are also other women who are truly attracted to older men. People find all sorts of different things attractive!
