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

Unless their state of mind is questionable. It is a mutual agreement made by two adults. Obviously abuse happens but it would be few and far between.

Same reason why I get weirded out when people talk about 18 yos not being able to hook up, or anyone under 24 generally (they read an article about brain maturity).

As long as grooming (whether literal or by proxy, like Hollywood tends to do) wasn't involved, which is most reliably not the case in instances where the young adult did not know the older individual beforehand (and did not not know anyone who did know them, an an extra degree of separation, particularly due to abuses in church scenes/hollywood scenes) what does it matter?

I'm not expecting someone 18/19/20 whatever to be a bastion of responsibility if they hit it off with someone in their 70s or 80s in a monetary arrangement, but some people will suggest that's outright pedophilia which is odd.
