Age gaps

Just read about Harry Styles and the Caroline woman from the Xtra factor. I don't understand why everyone's hating on her. Apparently she's receiving thousands of complaints daily about this.

The 17-year-old One Direction heart-throb had arrived at 32-year-old Caroline's house at 10pm on Monday carrying his overnight bag.

I'm sure they have lots in common.

I spent the night at a 38yo's the other week, being 24.

It would never work though, imagine what she would look like in 10 years yuck!

Cheers for the topic title change Elliot :-)

Just editing my post to reflect that.

17 vs 32 isn't that extreme as long as they're 16+. I know people with age gaps around that.

Edited title - I was just imaging the difference in looks when he's 45 and she's 60.

Probably not all that different. If anything, you'll look more aged than her.

He's over 16, it's fine. He's probably getting a decent education and she's getting filled in by an everhard teenager. Win win.

It'd suck when you are in your 50's and your once hot wife is a 70something.

Old age comes to us all shocker.

I hope your joking?

When I'm 34 and she is what 48, you're telling me she will still be thin with no wrinkles?

Doubtful, she will look like a near 50yo. No thank you!

Yeah if it was a bloke it would be a different story to the media.

It's nicer when it comes to both of you around the same time I'd imagine.

Who's to say you won't look like you've had a hard paper round come 34?

I don't really think it's a big issue at all.

However, I love some of those comments - "Good for them, age is just a number"

Let's see if that holds up in court for the paedophiles.

Wizzfizz · 7 Dec 2011 at 18:09

But it's true, age IS just a number. We all age at different rates.

Cool.

So we should all date people who are 60? Just a number after all right?

Oh, actually, age isn't just a number

If that's what you like then why not?

Missing the point. Nobody doubts that people are free to choose what they wish to do. It's fact - it isnt up for debate.

People are more than entitled to think its a bit weird, though.
