		<description>I love celeb romances. And, Hayden is cute! I never understand why the celebs like to deny fact. In the end we all find out anyway. And with all the paparazzi in LA it just makes them hungrier to &quot;get the picture.&quot; If the celebs just came out I think they would have less problems with their private lives and the paparazzi. Just my two cents.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know if comics culture samples weird on this question or what, but dating in all sorts of different age groups is pretty common for my single friends, especially as they date over time. I&#039;m not sure why anyone would have to go across the ocean or two centuries back for examples.

I wish this handsome TV actor couple all the happiness in the world that doesn&#039;t involve me having to watch their dumbass show.</description>

		<description>Those of us who are Gilmore Girls fan decided awhile ago that the 26-year-old Alexis Bledel must have been too old for the 30-year-old Milo.

  -- Rob, 37yo SWM considers 40yo Lauren Graham the right age for him (And he still thinks of Hayden as Ally McBeal&#039;s daughter.)

ObComics:  I wish Ty Templeton wrote and drew a Gilmore Girls series for . .   . well, Gg parent studio Warner&#039;s corporate sibling DC if DC had any clue how to market to women</description>

		<description>Well, for one thing it is not the 19th century. Cultural norms about age differences have changed, as have expectations for romantic relationships. It was kind of OK for your husband/beau/whatever to take a paternalistic attitude about you back then; now that men and women are supposed to be equal partners, most women would not stand for her husband considering himself his guardian, as was the case then. (And holding up Prince Charles and Diana as a relationship? Yeesh. The poor girl was hand-picked because she was a virgin and young and naive -- the royal family thought she would be easy to mold and control.)

Here&#039;s the thing I think about when I see a 30-year-old man dating an 18-year-old girl: Sure, 30-year-old men are more interesting than 18-year-old boys, but doesn&#039;t it work the other way around, too?  What does a 30-year-old man see in a girl twelve years his junior? Is he emotionally stunted? Using her? Girls who have older guys who are into them often play that &quot;He&#039;s so much more interesting&quot; card, but they don&#039;t understand that often the older guy is, consciously or unconsciously, using them because they are young and easier to manipulate.

I can&#039;t believe I&#039;ve written this much about this. It&#039;s the influence of Jezebel, that insidious Gawker blog.</description>
