to take her to bed.

At 38 - She tells you a story
and takes you to bed.

At 48 - You tell her a story
to avoid going to bed.

At 58 - You stay in bed
to avoid her story.

At 68 - If you take her to bed,
that'll be a story!!

I think if you to be my wife, i will take you to bed no matter of ages.

Anything is acceptable but, IMHO, the OPTIMAL age difference is 50, hehehe.

My supporting evidence: The marriage between 69 yo tycoon Loke Yew n a 19yo gal (undoubtedly even our BIG BOSS would consider her a very smart n prudent gal) resulted in a son, the legendary Dato Loke Wan Tho, who was at one time the richest man in SE Asia. The Cambridge-educated Wan Tho was only 2 when his father passed on.

Father Mr. Loke Yew (born 1845):
Loke Yew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mother Mrs. Loke Cheng Kim (born 5 May 1895): Loke Cheng Kim - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Their son Dato Loke Wan Tho (born 14 June 1915): Loke Wan Tho - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We should emulate the legendary Mr. Loke Yew, a consummate businessman, mining tycoon n a famous philanthropist. My kind of dominant male!

Ths for reading n hv a great day!!

Hi esteemed bro PTR,

Absolutely! BTW, I'm a fellow lao chi ko pek, hehehe.

Actually you n I may be too young if we use the OPTIMAL age gap of 50 as our guide.

Since I dun want to marry anyone younger than 17, I hv to wait patiently until I'm 67 to get hitched!!

The best yrs of our lives r still far far ahead.

Good day!!

Haha, Brother,

I am few years ahead of you. I have less years to wait, but my base line is girl of 25 years old. Yes, the best years of our lives are still far ahead. However, I have more or less decided to retire from the cheonging scene already. It is time to rest, as very soon I might need to go for medical supplement for action, and I hate pills.

Come next year, I will be 金盆洗鸟。 Hahaha....

有一份心理学上的报告指出，夫妻年龄差距在九岁以上的婚姻（不论是男大女小或女大男小），其幸福成功的机率 较一般婚姻来得低。也就是说，过大的年龄差距，可能会加大两人和幸福之间的距离。

什么样的人会喜欢老少配？老配少，背后的动机有哪些？

一）找回活力vs. 找到安定
四十多岁的中年人，爱上二十出头的的年轻人，最常见的原因，就是为了找回青春活力。
一位男性朋友四十五岁离婚，一年后娶了二十二岁的女孩，他的理由是：“她对什么事都像小孩般的好奇，和她在 一起，我又开始泡吧，也学骑马，彷佛年轻了二十岁！”

而对这年轻的一方而言，年长代表性格上的安定，体贴而包容的个性，当然也有其诱人魅力。

二）欣赏美丽vs. 看重能力
许多三、四十岁才考虑结婚的男人，二十多岁的女孩仍是他们心目中首选，因为年轻就意味着“未经沧桑的美丽” ，同时也意味着“较佳的生育能力”。我听过男人如是说明“未变形的女性曲线让人着迷，找不到毛细孔和皱纹的 肌肤使人心旷神怡！”哈！

至于年纪小的一方，美丽帅气自是换取更多资源的条件，看重财富及能力，就会寻找有社会历练的一 方。

三）喜欢掌控vs. 享受依赖
另一原因，则是因为小情人比较不麻烦。年纪轻，所以相对地较单纯，也比较听话，不像老情人，动不动就检讨你 的不是，一想到就令人头皮发麻。一位男性读者说：“我好不容易脱离三十多岁前妻的唠叨，现在当然得找个不会 烦我的对象！”

而如果有人愿意扛起所有决定，不让自己操心，对许多年纪轻的人也极具吸引力，反正凡事他负责，我就能少压力 少烦恼，不也挺好？

（四）引人注目vs. 受人羡慕：
有个心理学研究发现，人们在看到一个男人和美丽的女友同进同出时，会认为那个男人更聪明、更自信，而更有魅 力，人们倾向以其身旁的异性伴侣来评价当事人，因而男人找年轻的美女，而女人找位高的富豪，就能让他人刮目 相看。

所以啰，老少配虽然看来不寻常，其背后的原因可是其来有自。

那，什么样的人适合老少配？

一）懂得欣赏差异：老和少，代表的不只是生理年龄的不同，也是心理年龄的差距，这份差异是吸引两人结合的原 因，也极可能是日后双方分手的导火线。

你想和自己的同学聚会，担心小情人应对失礼，而对方则认为你的朋友太老，一点也不好玩。要不放假时，你想出 去彻夜狂欢，年纪大的他（她）却只盼着能睡大觉。

这种种的状况，都需要一份懂得相互尊重，并能化抱怨为欣赏的功力。我看过一个很棒的老少配例子，老男人让小 女人先出去玩，自己则是先睡一觉后，再出门去看看“年轻人怎么玩”，小女人则是打扮故作成熟，参加老男人们 的聚会，以“提升自己和有成就人士打交道之能力“，呵呵，这不就成了老少绝配吗？

二）充满十足自信：不寻常的婚姻，会引起不寻常的关注。老少配要能天长地久，双方都得有充分的自信，能一起 抵抗周遭的流言蜚语才行。有人用异样光看你，你能笑着幽默回应；传说另一半另结新欢？你会从容肯定自己。唯 有不寻常的自信及毅力，才能延续不寻常的老少联姻。

老和少，配不配？

其实一如每个婚姻，只要多用心，爱情就有无限可能性。
