[Hank_ 9,174]

@ Ron... I am pretty sure I have you beat for years as there are 28 years between Amy and I.

Here we go again!!!

You will be fine. Heck, 60 and 25 is a great match in the FSU! Just ask the peanut gallery here!

Happy new year.

[P and her J 0]

Richard, I do not think that this is an issue to be concerned about. You will be fine. I know a man who is close to 70 and his wife of 4 years now ( Russian) is about 30 or so. I don't know how they do it but they are doing just great together.

Why is it anyone's business who is with who, the caveat being they are both consenting adults? Of course, age of consent varies by jurisdiction. Nature doesn't seem to care, actually preferring the older buck still able to maintain his harem of young does, as the male can be potent until the day he dies, constantly refreshing his tadpoles, but the female's eggs are numbered, and those eggs are not as fresh at 40 as they are at 18.

Of course, this doesn't stop the horny old cougar, from seeking a more virile youngster, to satisfy her needs.

Thank you.

I am not sure I get the meaning. Discrimination? I can assure you I am very discriminating in whom I will sleep with the rest of my life and advise others to be also. So far the concept of "equal rights" has not extended to marriage, by law. We still get to choose whomever we want to marry for whatever reason.

I am not apposed to marrying some one older or younger as long as it's reasonable age.

and who gets to decide the "Reasonable Age"? You? The media? Your parents?

In not-so-recent history it was taboo to marry someone outside their race or religion. Thank God that society has matured past that narrow minded thinking. Then the controversy was over same-sex relationships, again society has adjusted and the world didn't come to an end. Take a look at the divorce rates and you will find that so-called traditional marriages (same basic age, race, religion, etc.) are failing at a record rate. Whats even sadder is that some 'non-traditional" marriages fail, not because of incompatibility but due to the unfair and bigoted attitudes that bombard the couple from society.

The only ones that should decide the "reasonable age" question should be the ones that are marrying each other. What business is it of yours or anyones else?

Exactly

People here also need to keep in mind that plenty of people would prevent you from getting a K-1 visa AT ALL, or marrying a foreign spouse AT ALL.

ALL of us are doing things that are not acceptable to someone else but seem perfectly great to us. So what? Adults get to make these decisions for themselves.

Mods? How about some equal justice?

Hi, I am 59 (Richard) and my fiance'(Inna) is 39. We are perfectly compatible but I wonder if our age difference will be a consideration for issuance of her visa. It is not a problem for us, we are both mature adults, we are very much in love and can prove that our realtionship is real. Anyone have any experience with this and any advice? Thank you !

It can raise a flag in some countries, but since both of you are of a mature age in shouldnt be any cause for concern.

Since both of you are older and possibly both divorced I would be more concerned with interview questions about the ex-spouses than the age difference.
