My friend married an old guy

i think you should go and ask your friend about her reasons, first hand so you can actually know a reason based on a person who did marry an older person. for me, i think there is still love involve, just not romantic... maybe more on platonic or something simpler than that... but for some reasons, we can't help but think she is doing it for security, maturity and for financial reasons.

i think financial secuity reason is why young girl marry to old man.i don't believe that young pretty girl will marry an old man whithout much money.what the man really can give her?se..x? love? care?or something we don't know?anyway,happy or not.only your friend knows.good luck to her.

When it comes to love, I dont think age really makes a difference. If she loves the man, what difference does it make. What if he loves her in return, I know sometimes women marry men who are older as away of having protection and someone to take care of them, but i dont think it would be the issue.

maybe it is the maurity part too,younger men do behave childlishly while older men are more level headedbut there is bound to be generation gap,but as they say,LOVE IS BLIND.

You should ask your friend what her reasons are. I married a man 14 years my senior, but he looks maybe 40 he is 49. I married because when I got married many years ago, he was mature and knew what he wanted in life and was done partying, and playing childish games. Guys my age even today still do not have a clue as to what life is.

well... maybe she is really in love! or maybe she has a 'father' fixation and finds security in older men resembling her dad!

I have no idea why your friend in particular decided to marry this guy but I would like to believe that it does have something to do with love. I can imagine that there are a huge number of people out there that would marry someone because they had a lot of money and I actually feel quite sorry for them. If they need to do that they must obviously believe that they are not capable of earning that much by themselves or being able to earn enough to keep themselves satisfied at least. I hope your friend has done this for the right reasons. At the end of the day if she is in love with him the age gap is really a very small deal.

Thats what I would think the reason is, for financial reasons, they want to have a sugar daddy..lol. I myself don't think I would do it, I don't want an old man, not one that's old enough to be my grandpa...haha.

My friend married an old guy!

OMG, you don't say, lols! Well let me tell you honey there are a lot of worst things that ur friend could be doing. I once dated an older guy, he was 15 years older than me and I guess it was b/c an older man is mature, they know what they want. They play less games. They know how to appreciate a good thing when they have it. Sometimes I wished that I had of held on to my old guy but I had to let him go b/c I was growing up and I had to get out and see if the grass was greener on the other side of the street. What I found out is that in general men are men. Old or young, they are all pretty much the same when it all really come down to it. Let ur friend have her fun with her old guy. If it's not meant to be she will see it and she will sooner or later come to see it and will eventually leave him alone on her own. Suppose he was an ugly guy with a very bad police record, do you think that you'd feel any happier for her or not?My best advice is to just leave it alone.

Hey Bebs! I guess you would have to ask your friend why she
married him! Maybe she really was in love with him! Maybe
it wasn't just about money, maybe it was! But, only your
friend would be able to answer this question! People don't
always plan on who they fall in low with! My boyfriend is
11 years younger then I am and I certainly didn't plan for
that to happen! And I know that he didn't either. I'm sure
he would have prefered to be with someone closer to his own
age! But, things happen that can't always be explained!
