May/December Romances...

HOT or NOT?

---

I see these all the time in Palm Springs, and it's really hot there - but 'romance' isn't exactly the word that comes to mind.

When you meet with the young men early in Spring,
They court you in song and rhyme.
They woo you with words and a clover ring,
But if you examine the goods they bring,
They have little to offer but the songs they sing.
And a plentiful waste of time of day
A plentiful waste of time...

Oh, it's a long, long time
from May to December,
And the days grow short
when you reach September.

And the Autumn weather
Turns the leaves to flame,
And I haven't got time
For the waiting game.

Oh, the days dwindle down
To a precious few:
September, November...

And these few precious days
I'll spend with you.
These golden days
I'd spend with you.

When I was a young man courting the girls,
I played me a waiting game:
If a maid refused me with tossing curls,
I’d let the old earth take a couple of twirls,
And I’d ply her with tears instead of pearls.
And as time came around, she came my way.
As time came around, she came...

Oh, the days dwindle down
To a precious few:
September, November...

And these few precious days
I'll spend with you.
These golden days
I'd spend with you.

PalJoey - that is exactly what I thought of when I saw this thread.

Hot.

Better than April/June romances, for sure. (don't ask...)

Brdlwyr, enough that it's not quite May/December, more like May/late-August or early-September.

if the person is old enough to be youre parent, then that is totally gross and NOT hot!

Depends on the age- the older you get, the less an age difference matters. Would you find a 52-year-old dating a 74-year-old completely unacceptable, EverythingisRENT? I think one of the main reasons a 22-year age difference is so much worse when 1 party is in their 20s is the difference in maturity and what it means for the power dynamics of the relationship. But by the time both parties are middle-aged, I don't think it's as bad.

Way to go CJR for killing the thread.....

DEFINATELY hot.

Yay! I didn't kill the thread! lol

---

It can be hot and it can be just creepy...

"Curtain Up - how old are you??"

I'm 45 and my boyfriend of three plus years is 25. And it's hotter than hell!

Anyone?
