♂♀ Are Linda & Hulk Hogan CROSSING THE LINE?

Hulk Hogan's (Age: 56) ex-wife Linda (Age:53) is reportedly engaged to her boyfriend who is 21 years old. However, nothing is ever mentioned of Hulk's relationship that has about 22 years difference with his younger girlfriend. Is this a double standard happening here? Before you pop a vein here, just hear me out a little............

Yes, there is a larger age difference between Linda and her fiancée', I agree here. Does the fact that he was friends with her son and at the age of 19 he began dating her make a difference? Or is it simply the shocking AGE difference? You know....the math?

Demi & Ashton has made this type of older woman and younger man relationship more socially acceptable with their marriage and continued love. (They still have hater's online though, and its crazy what people do with their time hating on others!) In addition, the latest craze with cougars (Older woman/younger man) who are (increasingly) getting a tainted reputation. Cougars to some people are a desperate older woman grabbing on to the youth of a younger man. Many Hollywood couples have a difference in ages too. Is it really possible to find someone the 'exact age' AND have chemistry? What about common interest, CHEMISTRY!, compatibility on many, many levels, love, care, respect, & more ingredients we need in a healthy relationship? These are much more important and necessary for longevity and creating a truly healthy relationship.

I have been in a May-December romance in my life and I was the younger of us. (18 years difference) Speaking from experience, the 'age' factor really falls away quickly as there are many more factors in a relationship that matters and carries you day to day. Our commonalities & love trumped any age issue whatsoever and we saw our bond so very clearly. We knew we would be together indefinitely whether married or simply living in sin and I was completely fine with this... :) Sadly, he died from Cancer. This doesn't mean I would choose someone solely on their age, now who would? I chose the person, not the year he was born.

This relationship changed me for the better on many levels, so I simply have no regrets and his age isn't nor wasn't a factor. Some people judged us for the age difference until he died, of course. Then what can you say? Maybe the cynical people should think before they cast judgement. Now there is something new! Judging others isn't our job, but rather finding our own compassion and well wishing to others since we all mostly just try to do our best. We all make mistakes, but we do things very well too. How often are our mistakes broad-casted and spread like wildfire over our talents, good deeds, and positive factors in life?

I am not saying age differences in relationships is a mistake at all! If it is, then give me my scarlet letters 'YM' (younger woman) now and I will wear it proudly. In the 21st century we are also gaining couples waiting until middle age to start their families and getting branded as old parents too. Ok, Ok, don't get me started on this one... WHO CARES! I know many people will start listing all the faults of how this LOOKS to others, but then again we are getting sucked in to the superficial nature here again. There will never be a perfect situation nor relationship.... Just someone perfect for US! Bottom-line...

Do we focus too much on a number? 50-20=30....so what & then what? "Is he or she good to me", should be the question.

Why is it a more tainted & shocking idea that the woman is older?

What do you think of these May-December romances? Either older man or woman?

What is the correct age span & Why?

Look forward to your thoughts!
