	 Older Brits want house pets, young Turks want a trip abroad and in effect translators are busy translating divorce papers. Kind of makes you think of the Dudus and economy thread   |  |

	What is wrong with a woman being attracted to a younger man? Wanting him mainly for sex? This kind of unions are a commonplace for men, why is it SOOOOOOO horrible when women do it? 		 |  |

 but they both get what they want. Do you think those women who marry smn 40 yrs younger don`t know what these men marry them for? The women get sex, and the men get passport. Fair deal!!!

 If it was so then why the high divorce rate? Fair deals are good because you know what to expect- if both parties agree to the deal, I have no problem with it. Why do I get the feeling that the deal is not really that fair?
   
 Besides, I believe that a younger guy marrying a 40-year-old does not have to do that for the passport only. I used to think so but changed my mind.

	I happen to agree with these wise students.  Counseling should be required for anyone who is getting married. Especially, people who come from different cultures and different religions.  		 |  |

 You just want to suck the adventure out of everything!!
   
 And anyway, you would need a bi-lingual councelor, since the main problem in many of these relationships is that they can't even communicate basic messages to eachother in a common language.  If you can't even communicate basic needs, I think you are beyond counceling.

 But there is always physical attraction as the motivator.  Who cares what the hell you are talking about, as long as you look good.

	 Sometimes even when you both share the same language, there appears to be a communication problem. I think for some of these older women, they don't mind if they can understand them.| Quoting Elisabeth: | Quoting teaschip: | Quoting Elisabeth: | Quoting teaschip: I happen to agree with these wise students.
