(Original Air Date: 01/16/09) It's Ask Dr. Phil day, and you won't believe the topics! First up, Jimmy, a 43-year-old musician, lives with his 20-year-old daughter, Morgan. He says many young ladies are attracted to him -- including Morgan’s friends. He prefers dating the young ladies, but Morgan says he should stick to women his own age. Should he change his relationship rules for his daughter? Next, Jessica says her husband is like the trash man, constantly throwing away the kids' games and shredding mail -- including a check he received for his birthday! Jessica says money is tight and wants to know how to curb her spouse’s urge to purge. Then, Anita and her husband, Kenny, appeared on the Dr. Phil episode "'You're Not Hot Enough,'" because Anita was overweight and Kenny made fun of her. Since the show, she has both lost and regained over 50 pounds and now wants gastric bypass surgery to take the weight off for good. Why is Kenny so opposed to the procedure? Does Dr. Phil think it's a good idea? And, Keyana says she wants to be adopted by a new mom. What does Dr. Phil think about her pursuit for new parents? Share your thoughts, join the discussion.

Find out what happened on the show.

43 year old

My opinion always used to be that age is a number. I really can't say that I agree nor disagree about him dating a younger girl. I do however do agree that he shouldn't date girls that his daughter knows because I can understand that his daughter would be uncomfortable. I would too lol. When I was 19, I dated a man who at the time was 30. It only lasted a few months, but the guy was trying to control my life so I got rid of him because really all he wanted from me was sex and I have too much respect for myself to just do things like that without there being some sort of commitment. That's just me, I just ask that if he continues to date other girls, that he doesn't do it with his daughter's friends and to not use the girls he's with.

Re:Keyana's Search for a Mom at 33yrs old

I would just like to say something about Keyana, wanting that motherly figure in her life, even though she is aged 33. I can totally relate to her needs for a mom to share with. I lost my mother almost 2 years ago but we had a good relationship, unlike Keyanas' but I miss that relationship so badly. There is no one who could replace my mother but I miss that motherly connection too, being in my late 30's. I know dr.Phil said there are ways to meet the need by giving to others and this I do in my life always. I also give as a mother to my children but there still and will always be that void for my mother. I would love to find a motherly figure in my life but it can't be just anybody and I am not desperate and would not post on myspace. The last thing I want is someone to take advantage of me and Dr. Phil is right about that. I would probrably look locally for this person to fill the void. Good luck to Keyana. I don't think your strange for wanting this relationship in your life now.

No Way

As the father of a 22 year old daughter, I would not do very well with her "dating" someone 15 years her senior, let alone 20 plus years! I know that I wouldn't have any control over her but I would still voice my opinion and the man would not be very welcome in my home.

Older men, younger women

I don't find it to be a problem for an older man to sleep with a younger girl. I think older men enjoy the company of younger, more youthful women because it makes them feel better about themselves. And additionally, this man is 43 or something and hot. He is very attractive, and I don't blame this young girls for wanting him. He has more experience and may offer more security for them, even if its only for the night.

43 year father dating girls his daughter's age (20)

I don't think anything is wrong with this but agree with Dr. Phil re not dating girls wihtin his daughter's circle of friends. This subject is so tired. Most women have a problem with this scenario because they are jealous and are probably the 35-40 year old he doesn't want to date.

I AM 26 YEARS OLD AND MY SON'S FATHER IS 48. WE GET ALONG GREAT. WE COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER A GREAT DEAL. WHAT I CAN'T DO, HE CAN DO AND VICE VERSA. WE HAVE A GREAT AND LOVING RELATIONSHIP. I HAVE NEVER FELT SO LOVED, NEEDED, WANTED AND SECURE. HE IS THE FIRST GUY THAT HAS NEVER MADE ME THINK HE IS CHEATING. AND THAT IS BIG WITH ME. I KNOW HE ONLY HAS EYES FOR ME, BECAUSE HE MAKES IT A POINT TO SHOW ME. HE IS THE ONE FOR ME. AND AGE DOESN'T MATTER. WE LOVE EACH OTHER AND WHAT ANYONE ELSE THINKS DOESN'T PHASE US.

My opinion on age difference in a relationship

You see it works like this:

Looking at a 15 year age difference,

If the female is 18 and the male 33, that seems to be robbing the cradle a bit.

If the female is 25 and the male is 40, then that seems more exceptable.

If the female is 30 and the male is 45, then that seems even more exceptable.

If the female is 40 and the male is 55, then that seems very exceptable.

If the female is 50 and the male 65, then that to is very exceptable.

So the only real issue here is the fact that the girl may be too young for her partner.

Older guy younger girls

Wow, I think if he dated someone closer to his own age, even 30 & older they would want him to grow up and start acting his age. Most men who date younger women are in the moment, the women love him, his attention, his experience??, what younger woman wouldn't be shown this kind of attention from an older guy. My questions is once all the fire is gone and real life sets in will she still want a man who acts 20 but is really 43??? I have a son who is 20 and he was dating a 43 year old woman I would be greatly concerned, I also have a 22 year old daughter and would be very unhappy if she was dating a 43 year old man. Hey guy get a grip, when you are 60, they will be 40 and looking for someone 20, you might be SOL!!

Age is just a number. But the BIG question is how would he feel about his daughter dating a 43 year old man??

04/06 Ask Dr. Phil

I believe that he has a right to date anyone he chooses, however, he should respect his daughter and date outside her friends and/or classmates. He also needs to remember that he is her role model also and should ask himself how he would feel if his daughter dated an older man. Respect works both ways.
