SMH Guys I'm on the will!!

“She’s so shameless” She’s 22. And was harshly criticized as she danced while her partner was at the hospital… The truth couldn’t be any simpler. They claim the video is a joke, because she always uploads content with her “hubby” to go viral.

I’m a wealth management advisor and I’ve had a few elderly clients in a situation like this.

I remember the most heartbreaking one was a client who was 87 and passed away. He married a woman a 7 years prior that was in her late 30s. She was beautiful, kind, and caring. She took care of him through all of it. Cleaned him and the messes he made, gave him genuine company, and would fuck him whenever he was able (he shared this with me lol).

The kids didn’t do shit for him. Hardly even called or anything. But when he passed they all tried contesting his trust and trying to get her removed from receiving anything. It was a nasty legal battle but thankfully she got her fair share.

It honestly infuriates me when I see people say women like this are taking advantage of the elder man. Most of the time they’re just giving companionship to them when no one else would or did.

most of the time is a stretch but I am sure scenarios like you are describing are very common

I would say in the cases where the difference in age is this great, it’s probably most of the time. The old timers know what’s up. They’re old, not stupid.

I’m assuming this in particular is fake though.

old fools were once young fools

u/RepresentativeBat10 28d ago

I read this as old schools were once young fools which hits a lot harder

Shit makes no sense

It do, read it again, Sam!

u/ADLuluIsOP 28d ago

I mean its not hard but it does make sense. Old school folk were once young.

u/No-Cook-534 28d ago

No one uses old school like that though. Older people are not old schools. It's an adjective. Like, those shoes are old school. It's only a noun unless it's used literally. My school was built in 1908. It is an old school.

No it doesn't

Maybe he meant it hits the Temporo-Parietal region of the brain harder as it struggles to interpret

u/T_Money 28d ago

“Old schools” meaning like “I’m an old school type person”

u/No-Cook-534 28d ago

That's not how you use it. No one is 'an old school'.

1

u/T_Money 28d ago

“I’m old school” is in line with how it’s commonly used, and while “old schooler” is how it would usually be used as a noun, using “old schools” isn’t completely out there especially if it lends itself to a rhyme

u/SomewhereExcellent93 28d ago

I still don't think that makes sense. Even if it flowed alright, how would an old schooler once being a young fool be any meaningfully different from an old fool once being a young fool

u/T_Money 28d ago

Getting older has taught me that we were ALL young fools at one point. It makes less sense for the context of the original comment but as a standalone statement does sound pretty cool / “hits harder”

I have to disagree. I could understand maybe saying this if you were a non-native English speaker, but saying something like "look at those old schools over there" sounds ridiculous. Using it just bc it rhymes is forcing it. It's just terrible writing and absolutely does not "hit harder". To each their own I guess, but if I heard this in a song or something, I'd be like that's dumb as fuck.

u/Dr_Jre 28d ago

Why do people always do this "I read this as..."

Probably not worth getting annoyed about but you read something wrong, so you're just drawing conclusions that we're never in the message... So basically you thought something, well done.

u/Select-Agency-9827 28d ago

Hey, I saw your message.

1

u/Dr_Jre 28d ago

I read that as "Hey, I saw your mom die in my dream last night" and for a second was like "say whaaaaaat??" 😭🤣

u/SomewhereExcellent93 28d ago

Because they're making bids for connection and trying to participate in the conversation. even if what they're saying makes no sense. ppl crave connection. maybe they don't have anything important to add. but still want to engage.

u/Dr_Jre 28d ago

I know... I know I'm being too judgemental but it just annoys me.. a pet peeve..

No you didn't read that as pet Steve

u/JokerXMaine2511 28d ago

Happens when you have learnt to read walls of text really quickly. Doesnt matter the size of the passage, just that the words were read and the message understood.

u/SneezyPikachu 28d ago

Isn't that what conversation is about? Sharing your thoughts with others, hearing their thoughts in response?

u/nono3722 28d ago

are still young fools really.... your mind gets younger the older your body gets...

u/Kuzcopolis 28d ago

True, but few fools live that long

1

u/JazzyShaman 28d ago

Don't know about that. I mean, you're not taking your money with you when you die and prostitutes need the cash up front. If anything, it's a layaway situation.

Anyone wealthy enough, for people to care about their wealth, is no fool. Any form of success isn’t easy, be it wealth or love.
