Older men

While we are on the subject of older men, can I tell you about one of my co-workers? There's this man who was hired the same time as me. His name is David. He is really cool. He reminds me of the stereotypical Mexican family man: he's funny and laid back but also firm and doesn't take crap from anyone. He's a big guy, but a total teddy bear. Anyway, he works the pm shift so I usually go in and chat with him for a while before he leaves. The other day he was practically telling me his life story. He was explaining how he and his wife met when he mentioned that there was a pretty big age gap between him and his wife. I thought to myself, "Oh, it's probably about 8 or 10 years... 16 at the most". To be honest I was waiting to see if he said 16 years because that nice guy I bowled with was 16 years older. Anyway, so I ask him how many years difference there was and he tells me that she is 23! In case I didn't already make this clear by my "family man" association this guy is well into middle age. I was like, "wow that is only a year older than me!" So I ask him how old he is, and he tells me he is 45! OMG!!! He is literally old enough to be her father. That is 22 years! But you know what, he is not the type of guy who you'd think, "Eww, dirty old man". IN FACT, SHE was the one who asked him out! At first he thought she was just messing with his head so he kept saying no. I think she asked him out about 3 or 4 times before he said yes. Isn't that crazy?! This guy is totally nice and respectable, but you have to wonder what kind of issues this chick has going on. Admiring an older man is one thing... even having a crush can be understandable.... but actually dating and marrying someone that much older than you? I cannot even fathom it.
