My brother in Christ, you do not realize how down bad the 20-something girls with daddy issues are.

My best friend hooked an old guy without custody of his kids. They're moving in together next week.

Edit: My point is that people like her exist and have their own preferences. Unfortunately the vast majority of men she goes out with are creeps. I'm going to support my friend, but I'm also doing a very in depth background check as soon as I learn his last name. The overwhelming majority of men interested in much younger women are creeps.

Hope they find happiness together!

My best friend, now 45 once told me that i was the only guy she was ever attacked to her that is actually younger than her. I didn't really think anything about it, untill she told me that her first real boyfriend was 45 when she was 19. And her boyfriends only got older

Aka "jogging pants", "lounge pants", "tracksuit bottoms", "trackies", "tracky daks", or "trackpants".

They're a kind of soft trousers or loose leggings worn typically for comfort or athletic purposes.

wife in a healthy relationship, looking at her sweatpantsed husband: heavy breathing Oh my!

never underestimate the desire of some women for married man. I had a friend once tell me shw only dated married man because she knew he was good enough. No need to say the friendship didn't last long

This is a real phenomenon. Men are more attractive when they're already in a relationship.

There are similar psychological effects that exist elsewhere. A job applicant is more attractive if they currently have a job. A scholarship application is more attractive if you list your existing scholarships. The effect is basically: someone else found you desirable, and therefore I must also.

The effect is so strong that it encourages people to fake it to gain the benefits.

In a sense of understanding the wife's perspective, proximity is just as important as the other major factors that affect how likely a relationship is to begin. There was a cool study of college students who lived in an apartment style building that showed you were most likely to begin a relationship with the person who had a door immediately next to yours. The only exception to that was for the person who had a door immediately next to the mailboxes. Proximity matters because it lets another person see you enough to form opinions based on a lot of interactions, and we all know someone who 'shines' despite their physical looks.

Plot twist: new neighbor was wearing a shirt that read, "I <3 dad bods," and was already flirting (asking for help moving boxes /eyeroll) with the guy in sweatpants.
