The sad thing is I wasn't sure if that was a money transaction, or if she truly wanted to be with the man.
A lot of these girls love their parents, especially dads and they start brainwashing them from an early age about their duties to their husband, no matter who he may be. And since the parents brainwash them that they know best, hence the man they choose for them, even a 60 year old, is the man they must trust will be best for them.

The girls accept it because the alternative, going rogue, is dishonorable and a complete no-no for them. The family structure there is set up to enslave women. Very few parents in such societies care about their daughters. They are like, we brought her up, fed her, cared for her. It's her duty to do whatever they tell her to do.

Pacino is an outlier because he is a famous movie personality, legend who is worth over $120 million. He just had a baby with a very beautiful 20 something.

Now, do you really think a 24 year old is going to be attracted to the average (99%) of old men who are getting by on social security and a small pension? Most 20 somethings won't even find a 50 year old attractive, let alone an 80 year old. The chance of that happening is very remote. And yea, old people have sex. I'm not saying that. But, an average 80 year old won't be pulling 20 somethings unless he has a lot of money, and/ or fame.
Just saying that an 80 YO having sex, AND being sexy is for real. Yes, 80 YOs have a tougher time attracting women. But hey, some 80 YO's are going to be a much better lay than a lot of 20 YOs, it's just a fact.

Old? I want to be ancient. Whispered by children tempting fear to keep them from sleep. Father to thousands of trees and millions of animals who rely on them. Hated by humans who wish me to finally pass so their dark works can continue, and I will outlast them all.

I've made a few threads in the past couple of years about bucket lists. I've had a really good run and a sheltered life for many years. I didn't have a lot of death in my immediate family and though there was a sickness among family members, it was all chronic stuff. My uncle, then dad, then cousin (like a brother to me), then grandmother passed away within a year or so.

Prior to that, I was already thinking about my time here. Basically, you have to figure out what you value and focus on that. I think we should all value our health and focus on getting as healthy as possible.... We should value whatever family we have and focus on spending as much time with them as we can. But beyond that, we need to develop goals that keep us engaged and happy. If I lose that, daytime TV just doesn't cut it for me.

I'll want to get old as long as I have mobility, tasks I can accomplish, and am surrounded by people that love and appreciate me. After that, dig a hole and I'll gladly climb in.

I remember a comment from a woman some 30+ years ago, I worked with her. My co-workers were 3 black American women (I was a temp), and what you might hear was not your typical office banter. She described her seeing the body of an older man, I figured 60's or 70's, maybe older and she said he had the body of a young man. She was by far the sexiest of the three. I remember her name to this day. She was real nice to me.

A man can have dreams : I am certain that if there is a way, my cells will find a way to circumvent the hayflick limit, keep the integrity of my DNA and this all without turning into a grotesk monster.
