AggieDave 6 #2 January 17, 2006 Of course not, since that awful henry higgins was rich. If society has taught us nothing else, if you're rich its ok to have women even 70-years your younger. *shudder*--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

NWFlyer 2 #5 January 17, 2006 QuoteWas 'enry 'iggins too old for Eliza? Don't get me wrong. I *love* My Fair Lady. I think guys that can admit to watching (and, I assume, liking) that movie are cool. But doesn't this get your guy card taken away? Or at least temporarily suspended? For the record, of course he was, but Hollywood tells us (and we all learn everything important about how to live our lives from Hollywood) that men can continue to be attractive after 30, while women cannot. Therefore all attractive couples must include a man of any age equal to or older to the woman, and a woman under 30. Notable exceptions include The Graduate, but then again, he *did* end up with the younger woman."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mine was gone a loooong time ago. I just like the movie. Saw it in HD yesterday and got to thinking - Eliza was 21...ol' 'enry looked to be about 50....(physically - mentally he was about 2).Scars remind us that the past is real Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mnealtx 0 #7 January 17, 2006 Wasn't the classic formula "a wife should be half her husband's age, plus 7 years" ? I'm pretty sure that's what Deety told Zeb, anyway! *phtbtpbttpbtbptbt* at the guy card crap, anyway... I watch what I want to watch! My Fair Lady - yep Sound of Music - yep The "Snowy River" movies - yup and a bunch of others I can't for the life of me remember right now...Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

RhondaLea 4 #9 January 17, 2006 QuoteWas 'enry 'iggins too old for Eliza? No. But only because it was a movie. In real life, the May/September romance is a rite of passage for the young and a new lease on life for the middle-aged. The reason for this is partly because younger women are more sexually compatible with older men, and younger men are more sexually compatible with older women. At a certain point, though, trying to hold on to such a relationship is generally selfish on the part of the older partner, and a source of great guilt and suffering to the younger. I know a guy who married a woman about 25 years his senior, and it went pretty well until she turned 70, and then it went to hell. I'm in a little in love with some of the younger guys I know In real life, 'enry should've been spanked and sent to bed without dinner. rlIf you don't know where you're going, you should know where you came from.

wartload 0 #12 January 17, 2006 QuoteWasn't the classic formula "a wife should be half her husband's age, plus 7 years" ? When my wife and I were first married, the occasional no-tact individual would say to me, "You must be TWICE her age!!!" I enjoyed telling them that it would be four more years before that happened. Age differences in couples is only a big deal to other people. And no ... I'm not rich. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
