We'd love to chat with other couples in the same sort of relationship as ours. Polly is 23 and Alfie is 58 and we have a wonderful loving relationship but have large problems with the way people react to us when out and about, mainly from women strangely. It's amazing how judgemental people can be! We even had one woman spit at Polly!! I think a lot of it is jealousy from the women because their man is oggling Polly but who knows. Any advice would be really appreciated. Perhaps we could even meet up with couples in the same situation to exchange experiences etc.
Hi, I am a single male so not sure how much my personal opinion is but for what it is worth... I think you should ignore all together the bigotry and intolerance showed by other people.
I do not understand why do people like to judge and impose their life views on other people. The spiting act as far as i am concerned is just an act of desperation and demonstration of lack of understanding and tolerance. Also a pure case of primal instincts taking control over actions when the brain fails comprehend and come up with proper response to the situation, which would be, if you don't like it or feel displeased with something move on and respect the people around you.
I fail to find anything wrong with your relationship and even more so i fail to understand what it's got to do with me or any other person really. As far as i am concerned you are two loving individuals who share the same interests and feelings for each other and if somebody has a problem with it they can leave the planet as they are the one instigating conflict not yourselves.
I hate intolerance and i hate people poking their noses in other people's private affairs so you should just ignore the clowns and disapproving looks and just have fun and leave them in their peril to drown in their anguish that they cannot comprehend anything that is outside of their pre programmed understanding of the world is and what it has to look like.
To me physical demonstrations and outbursts are a sure sign of low mental capabilities. An intelligent person regardless of his/her feelings towards certain aspect of the surrounding world will either say something intelligent to show his views or keep himself out of things that do not concern him/her directly. Failing to do so links you directly to your animal ancestry.
I am sorry for the fragmented thoughts but every time i see and hear something like what Alfie and Polly have experienced i just feel exasperated and loose faith in humanity.
Sincerely,
T
Thanks for that tintiri, it was very helpful. We agree that we should ignore them but sometimes, especially in restaurants it gets very difficult. We were in one a couple of weeks ago when the woman on the next table started openly criticising us. It just gets wearing at times especially as we're so happy and in love and find it hard to hide the fact. Don't get the impression that we're all over each other all the time, although the temptation is huge at times and Polly is quite an exhibitionist, it's just the looks we give each other and the fact that obviously enjoy each other's company so much that seems to get them.
My 3rd wife is some 24 years younger than myself, and, although we've never suffered the sort of small minded abuse which you're describing, there have been occasions when people would cast glances which said they disapproved. As in your case it was usually women, I'm sure women have their own reasons for feeling as they do, and the reactions can differ depending upon which part of the country you're in, some parts are still home to the predominantly narrow minded who feel a need to encourage others to think as they do.
You nice folks seem to be well enough adjusted, and sufficiently fond of each other, to overcome these irritations.
I wish you both well.
we been married 26 yrs n still going strong.....and i still need that bit extra that he knows how to do after a night out...lol
Hi
I can understand the difficulties, the best way is to ignore the fuckers. They have nothing better to do as long as you're happy so that is the main thing.
Cracking pic! Please allow to have a a look at ours and feel free to PM me/exchange pics with a possibility to view to meet up in the New Year.

Being someone who believes education is important, I'm prepared to offer my services to any young lady who feels she might benefit from being loved used and abused by a dirty old man. Well it is christmas, it's good to give. :twisted:
What does annoy me ...... is the amount of people, usually younger single guys but not always who message me to tell me "your a lucky guy", why ? because I have a pretty partner ? because she is young ? CRAP, I am lucky because I have once again found someone, a partner who is my friend, my lover, my teacher, my pupil, my cross to bear, my crutch to support me, she is my ALL.
But y'know what, she is lucky too, she has found someone she feels the same way about.
Anyone who finds love is lucky no matter who it is they find it with.
