Audrey
Quote From: atlswanI don't think Dr. Phil was telling Audrey to stop being herself or being outrageous. I think he was just giving her and her much younger beau a big dose of reality.
It's probably a lot of fun right now. And who knows? They may be together for a while. But the truth is that when she hits her 70s, no matter how much plastic surgery she gets, it wouldn't be unheard of for the younger boyfriend to yearn for greener (and younger) pastures. He may not. But to at least be aware of the fact this may vey well happen sounds pretty sensible.
As for Bobby, I can understand why she's flaunting it now that she's got it. But when you've got a husband, why not flaunt it to him? He's the one who has been with her through everything. That doesn't mean she has to wear long skirts and big sweaters to hide her figure. But toning down the flirting might help a lot, because it sure looked like that's what she was doing. You can be friendly and nice without being flirty. I think if Dr. Phil is going to get on Audrey for going out with a younger guy, he should have had a MAN who is dating a WOMAN 30+ yrs. younger than himself (gee, that would take about ten seconds to find in his audience) as well, and give that MAN the same 'third degree'.
Why give the woman a hard time? Our North American society tries its best to squelch women over the age of forty ANYWAY, so WHY NOT fight against that not-too-subtle (translate: OUTRAGEOUSly aggressive) squelching, anyway?
I totally agree about men - if there were any out there who were not married and not totally screwed up over forty/fifty, maybe she'd not have to look outside her age demographic. If men aged as WELL as women do, maybe she'd not have to .... BUT men don't age as well; women will largely outlive them, and so what's the problem with this after all?
It's this women's personal business if she wants to date younger man, and no one else's - although I expect the mother of this young man may have an opinion. Let's hope it's positive for both their sakes. And this 'long term' nonsense? Tell me where it can be proven that two people of the same age have any greater chance of a lasting relationship? I think statistics are on this couple's side, not against it.
Act like a grandma at 60? SEZS WHO? Is she a grandma - I didn't hear! If one of my kids pushes me into the grave at an early age by suggesting I ACT geriatric, I'll never speak to them after the first day they do that. My business. Acting YOUNG keeps you young, as any aging expert will tell you.
LAY OFF PHIL - and equal time for MEN WITH CHILDREN FOR SPOUSES (i.e. 60+ man and women in 20s/30s) - let's examine why THEY'RE usually together - (hint: has to do with PLASTIC usually, NOT youthfulness-looking, or personality - usually far more mercantile than that)!!!!!
Rock on Audrey - you look fabulous for your age!
