The totally off-topic thread

Also why do men want women younger than their daughters ? Just plain CREEPY in my books !

I do notice the men are decidedly quiet right now so I'm guessing we aren't the ones who can answer that question.

I think the daughter 'thing' is a bit of a red herring so substitute 'why do men want women who are young, gorgeous and sexy' and it's a bit more obvious

Only quadruple? Some days a $100 doesn't last 5 minutes....

Reminds me of that joke .. 20 goes into 60 a lot more than 60 goes into 20

Why do beautiful, young women tie themselves to men that are 35+yrs older than them? No pay off in 10 or 20yrs time can be worth throwing your youth away.

Because they have $$$$$$$$$$



It takes 2 to tango and the common denominator tends to be $$$$$$$$$$. Generally one side has it and the other wants it

Absolutely closest - less than 50mtrs front door building to terminal if you could walk straight across but as you cannot them it's a 150mtr walk.

Edit: FWIW Denali we only stay there if early morn dep when both of us flying - the restaurant in hotel is quite ok - not cheap but that's the way when you have a captive market hey - but it does start the trip off in a great fashion.

Yes it is the closest.

Thanks. We're going to Melb in the morning and then onwards to Hobart the next morning. Wonder if VA lounge will let us in for free drinks and snacks in the evening

Men are not emotional like women.

Some men in their 60's and 70's looking for a relationship would not be looking for someone the same age. It actually makes no sense. Don't need another instant family with kids and grandkids.

Another reason could be they want to feel young again.

My wife is a lovely lady and keeps telling me she wants to hold hands and hug in public when we are in our 70's. That's fine for her but that's not something I think about. Men and women are different.

If a 61 year old woman married a 35 year old man would you consider that creepy?

The French have a formula for dating younger woman. Divide your age by half and add 8. E.g. 70/2 + 8 = 43 years young lady.

Not quite the age you are talking about but still 25 years between them:

Estate agent has come back and said the house photos look cluttered! :shock: I have no idea how given the photographer removed anything that wasnt bolted down.... Mum has reminded the agent that its a home that people actually live in, not a display home.
Finger is starting to deflate post being squashed in the gate but still quite sore. Can't fully bend it yet.

Good on your Mum to take on the agent.
Hope the finger improves soon- no fun being in pain.

At the end of the day, if someone wants the house they will buy it. Im sure it wont matter if there were a few things on the bench or not (like the kettle, which is where Id expect it to be....)

Sounds like the Agent is looking for an excuse.....

An excuse for what? He's seen the inside, he knows its no show home. Short of us moving out, it's not going to get any emptier.

 

[love_the_life]

So what does the agent want - another set of photos? That would be painful.
People don't buy a house just on the agent's pics; things like location, number of rooms, and if it is an older property what they think they can do with it.
I have seen agent's photos with beds unmade and junk everywhere so sure your place was fine - sounds like agent is being a total Richard Cranium.

Sounds like the agent is worried about their commission. Maybe suggest if they like, they should hire furniture, cleaners and movers out of their end if they really want a greater sale.

Slow to sell maybe? Price asked versus offers?
