Other than for money why did that much younger women marry Paul McCartney? Old's about 45+, and he's mid 60's.
Why would anyone like older men other than for money?

I suppose this is a question which applies equally to straight and gay people.
When I was 33, I had a boyfriend of 18, and I'll tell you exactly what held it together for the best part of ten years until an accident brought it to an abrupt end.
The young man in question had never been cared for properly and came from a dysfunctional family. He found in me stability, kindness and an opportunity to express the horrors of his childhood. As time went on he grew stronger and stronger, and after a couple of years, the age difference simply didn't matter.
Cynics might say that I was exploiting a younger guy, and others used to say that he only stayed around for the security and money, but I know differenly.
To watch a young man grow, gain inner strength and then find his wings was the most wonderful experience for both of us. What may have started as a paternal type of relationship, developed into something quite different..... two equals enjoying the company of each other and bonded by complete trust and affection.
In my experience, that is how age-gap relationships occur and sometimes last a long time.
For the most part, people prefer the company and love of people their own age, and I would never expect anyone younger than myself to be drawn into a manipulative situation. Similarly, I would never be victim to those who would exploit me purely for cash. I am self-confident enough to send the users packing!
So, if it isn't cash, I would suggest that age-gap relationships work well for a small number of people, and no-one has the right to pass judgement on what should be a very private matter between two people.

If I was single I would not look out for someone older, but you never know who you can fall in love with. and he is no ordinary grandpa.
personally I am on her side in this ,so I guess I won't be getting 10 points. I think that it is insulting to him , to suggest that she married him for money. I think it is very plausible that she fell in love with a talented man. do you think he has to go out granny grabbing because of his age?or should he ,who still has all mental facilities working choose who he loves. Also I read that he did not want to sign a pre-nup, mmmm.
Because he is such an icon ,masses of people will not want to believe her allegations.(sounds a bit like wacko story ). She is also intelligent and knows that people are not going to believe her, especially after the bad press that she has been given.
It is sad that these private matters have come to light, but if they are indeed correct , I would back her all the way.

I would never go with an older man in their 45-60s ( I am 22) as its wrong!!!! We would be at different stages in our life so would not have much in common I assume and also I dont find older men attractive!!!! It would be like dating my dad!
However I would date a guy that was say 10 years older than me like my boyf he is 8 years older but anything beyond that is not for me attractive!

For me its about maturity. Girls mature alot faster then boys so a younger girl and an older guy just makes sense.
Oh and by the way...women make their own dang money these days.

I love older men! They are charming, intelligent, witty and know how to treat a lady. Older men are gentlemen in the truest sense of the word. I'm not saying younger men aren't gentlemen, but it comes more naturally to older men.
I'm 27 and my older man is 55. I never see him as "older" he's just "him" and that's all that matters.

Older men are very nice people. People marry for more than money. Try kindness, clever, love, honesty, and because they've been there before and know how relationships work by now.

I've dated men my own age and older men - my last bf was 15 years older than me and my current one is 9 years older.
and do you know what i figured out?
its not age, its personality. the older ones are just as prone to the same annoying and endearing habits of the ones my own age
you dont fall in love with a number, jsut a person.
sometimes it just happens and that is true love because its about what you feel in your soul not your head
