Age difference of fiance to fiancee?

[Psoas10 17]

It does not matter to me. The main thing is the couple is happy and in love. It is also nice when the couples family and close friends are happy for them.

This is a great topic (thanks OP)... and one of the best threads going on this site in a long time! Some real personalities have come out in this thread - lol.

For us.... yeah we've got a bit of a gap age-wise between us. But we've known each other 4 years before marrying... spent tons of time together in the PI and even a few months in the U.S. We've met each other's parents & other relatives, & friends and that all went down well. We both dig traveling, scuba, Captain & Cokes & balut. And we can't seem to get enough of each other But there's a lot of big differences between us too!

One of us is rich, the other is (uh... I mean, was) not ..... one of us is HOT , the other is NOT .... one of us is spontaneous, the other is ####### .... one of us smokes, the other a total health nut. One of us is an MBA, the other went to work straight out of high school.... One of us is really young, the other is really, well... not young (chronologically speaking).

So.... is it LOVE?... or MONEY? Do we stand a chance?!

CLick on our wedding pics link (below) & see if you can guess our age difference (some of you guys know us so... hush!).

Farsider.....excellent post, and your examples are similar to ours...we are the same in lots of things, different in others, we all are attracted to each other for various reasons, as the old saying goes, 'opposites attract'..being different in some things keeps it interesting, IMO.....there is something magical about love, on how or why we fall in love....it happens, and age, culture, race, distance from each other, can all be overcome by love.

I am very in tuned to feelings and vibes, and I know if someone loves me or not, there is no way that my girl and I do not feel the same towards each other, its real and that's all there is to it.

BTW Farsider, nice ride, can't tell if its a Dyna or Softail because of the bags...Supgerglide? ....Hank...no prob man, hahah.

Nice bike ! I've got a buddy who has one - it's a great motorcycle.

Thanks... they are an addiction for sure!

Great wedding video... borrowed the song as I really enjoyed it - thanks!

This age gap things is almost funny, ya I know what you mean guess the age... I have yet to have anyone nail my age correctly, let alone Amy's.

25 years between me and my girl. Pretty much average for the girls who are marrying foreigners in her village. My best asset is I look 28 to 33. She is 20 but looks 12, (even to some of the local Filipinos) We love each other very much and are glad to finally be together. The pastor who is marrying us has no problem with us. As well as my kids, friends and family. My kids love her, have taken to her. With my youngest son sometimes wanting her to tuck him into bed. Age is only a measure of time in life. Age is not a measure of maturity. According to statistics: 25% of people in the world marry with large age gaps. This means out of 7 billion, there are 1.75 billion in large age gap romances. As for me, I WAS looking for a younger girl. Someone to have more children with. I feel like I have lost out through my previous marriage of having children at the "right" age. If I married a girl "age appropriate" for me, I would most likely not be having anymore children or she would be in a very high risk category. I choose a younger girl, and was looking for a girl beautiful inside and out. Not just a "trophy wife", but a girl who loved. I avoided Asia and the Philippines for a long long time. but eventually, I gave in. We refer to ourselves as "Christmas presents" to each other. Last year, we met at Christmas. This year, we marry around Christmas. And next year, well, have a 5 month old child aat Christmas.

Darren, nice post.....

Hank, I would say, from your profile pic, that you are 43 in that pic and Amy is 28 and I know I am exactly right, or within 15 years on either end of my guesstimate, hahaha

Let me say this, my first marriage, as I've said, a Filipina...we were like 4 years difference, so essentially the same age. When I would see a older guy with a younger gal I would think, 'hmm, good for them'...unlike a few posters on here, I never thought that they would not last, or that they looked odd or whatever. Live and let live...hail yea boi.

Hank, btw, saw your post on my CBX, yea man, its a nice bike. I've not rode it lately, very busy with life, but she is my other 'baby'....after my fiance, of course, lol

Hey Darren......Welcome back my Man! Good to finally hear from you! I also seem to think from your Post that Gretchen is Buntis????/ If so, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! :thumbs:

19 year age difference here...but my next wife better not be a day over 19.

You shot way low for me, even the 15 year spread you gave yourself didn't put in the fix. Now if you had done a 20 year spead you would have squeaked by. And you were a mite low with Amy as well, but that isn't unusual.

Oh and if we are blabbing about age gaps..... 28 years here.

I had a CB400F and for a small bike that thing would fly, heck even back then it was a 10,000 rpm motor. I am way past those crazy need for speed days...... welllllll maybe...

Wow, well better I was low than high ehh? hahha. I know the 400, nice bike and 10k is some high revs for sure. It is nice to be able to crank on the throttle and blast when you want to, at whatever speed that fits for the moment.

I've seen many guys quite a bit older than me walking around in the shower and their buttocks are sublime

I am not beyond some assistance from Dr. Levitra, however, again,

I have a suggestion. Go to the Doc and do a testosterone check. Total count. A co-worker (in his 60's) is doing a weekly testosterone injection. He stopped taking V. His proclaimed benefits include...Energy levels are up. Blood pressure dropping. Losing belly fat and his "drive" has him stalking his wife (almost) daily. He smiles ear to ear when he tells that part.

The only downer semms to be the weekly injection. but...perhaps you could get one of those "sublime buttocks" men to give you a "shot" after your group shower. BTW...Men locker room policy = NO LOOKING!!!

Another suggestion.

Find one of Hank's posts. Move your cursor over his avatar. Click it. His profile page will open. Look to the left and find "send message". Click it. The privacy aspect of this messaging service will allow you to be as "intimate" as you desire.

Don't get me wrong. I think you might appreciate knowing about the PM option. (but)...Personally..I don't mind if you carry on your OT discussion for another 20-30 posts.

Hmmm...wink guy.... ....That might give the wrong impression...hmmmm...let's replace him with... .....wait wait...whistler sorta looks like he's blowing something....hmmmmm...how 'bout no emoticon. Yep. That's it ...no emoticon...just a suggestion hanging...#######...hanging...hanging....

Never mind.

[Ron and Rhea 42]

Crashed, my post was tongue-in-cheek for the most part, especially the gym comment, come on dude, lol. The levitra ref was me trying to make a point, I do have some stashed....my test level is in the normal range, thanks for your concern however.

As far as me going off topic in this thread, I understand how to send a PM, much like you could've sent me a PM suggesting that I send PM's as I am off topic....btw, if you're implying the throttle ref was something other than a motorcycle ref then you are wacked, (I say this because of your 'intimate' comment, which was odd)....
