Generalizations don't work. I would not say, "well, I am coming from a man's point of view which is pure love. Not a women's point of view requires youthful physical beauty."
No, no, no ... that's not what I meant at all ... what I meant was, in this particular case ... the man is 81 and the woman is 18. So, sure, the men are going to think this is a great deal ... he gets the sweet young thing. And the women are thinking, "Not for all the tea in China would I do that!"

If the tables were turned, and the woman were 81 and the man was 18, I'm sure the women would be saying, "You go, girl!" and the men would be saying, "Eeewwwww!!!!"

Interesting to note, I think, that we do often hear about young women marrying much older men .... but very, very rarely do we hear about young men marrying much older women. (I remember one very old movie star who was married to a very young man, but I can't remember her name.) So ... can one say that in general women are more likely than men to marry their true loves without regard to age or physical appearance?

And, she may very well have married for true love, no one knows but her. If she did, great. Hey, if she didn't, great. She made an old man happy during his last ten years, and got a house out of the bargain.

I wasn't bashing her, or him ... I was just being a smart mouth. Can you tell I'm a "bit" of a cynic about the whole "true love at first sight" thing?
