Will you marry a manof the same age as your father?

High housing prices have posed great preasure on many young people who are going to get married but don't have enough money to afford a house.

A C.P.P.C.C member with the surname Liang proposed a good idea: Girls born in the 1980s can choose to marry a middle-aged man ; while young men in their twenties can get married at 40 or 50 years old when having a house of their own.

Is it really a good idea? Will you marry a man of the same age as your father?

In my opinion, age difference doesn't matter even though one is much older than the other one. Let's say 10 years or even 20 years is fine with me. what matters is that the couple loves each other and want to spend their lives together, then they should marry!

But marrying a person for money to afford a house to live? That is a problem,I don't think marriage could work out this way, the marriage won't lastIf there is no true love in the relationship, and the marriage gets ugly and nasty.Someone once said, " money comes and goes but true love will always stand the test of time."

To the user above, well stated!

Marrying an older man may be a taboo to some people or culture, but to the Chinese people, this isn't news.However, the girl really has to think twice before doing this because the man will get much older faster than the girl.If there isn't any true love involved, then I would think the girl will most likely leave when the man gets old.The reason is simple.Who wants to be around a really old guy who can't do much in anything?It's the same with the reverse sex situation.So without true love involved, this will not work out, eventually.

i think i will marry the old man,cause the older man have more experience of life.He can give me the feeling of safe and also can be my teacher.

It's very strange. They don't try to find why so many people can't afford a house, but get the ridiculous proposition.

If all people follow it to live, can we find true love?

In my opinion, it's terrible to get married for money only. No love, no marriage.I'll never get married for any external factor except for love.

Will you marry a manof the same age as your father?

No, I will not, because I am a male person!

But if I were a girl, things would be quite different. And that would be a real problem to me! A supposed case, if I falledin love with him, and he loved me, I think I'd marry him , no matter how old he were, even older than my father. The key point is that why I'd love a man of the same age as my father? For what? He was handsome, strong body of full of vitality.Or our essential thoughts were alike, or we had the same future!Taking all these fators into consideration, I suppose that I'd not marry him, even if he were millionaires!

I would definitely not marry a man of the same age as my father. In my opnion, marriage means much more than we thought. And perspective of the world and personal value as well as communication play an very important rolein a harmonious marriage. How can a man of my father's age fully understand me and entirely accept all my behavior?

Married character together on the line

and age nothing relationship

i don't suppose to marry old man ,whose age as my father ,even though who is very rich.i can't accept it ,I think young people is different from old people in life view,and their act is diffrent.i think marriage is a thing that looked is fit.

{:soso_e129:}Agree with this view. It is not matter!

If I think he is just that particular person , then , I love him forever!­

If he willbe my better-half , he is already perfect in my eye. I love him just for loves reason, anything else really doesn’t matter.­

if i was a girl, i wouldn't marry a man over 50. as i know, some unmarried ladies would like to marry the wealth for their forturn. there is saying very prevalent in China, thats" lean on awealth, or you have to struggle for another 50 years "

but not all the girls are so money worship like that, they follow their emotion. i do see much young ladies were taken hand by old man, wandering on a streets.

I can't stand that marrying a man of the same age as my father.It is bad for our offspring.The genes will be worse ,and it is strange,too.only for money is a evil idea ,i think only lazy ladies will do this.

I don't want married with a man who is the same age as my father. I love my father, but I don't like my husband too older than me. Maybe two people will have different idea who weren't the same age. I don't belive love sometimes. So I think will have many contradictions in the family.

In no case shall I marry a woman of the same age of my mother! But for women, it seems to be acceptable to marry a man much older than themselves, whether for wealth or for love. Nowadays this is notuncommon in both china and western countries.

In front of love, everything like age difference, wealth, ect. appears trivial. Only marridge with love can stand the test of time. So I don't think it advisable for a woman to marry a man just in order to get a house to live in.

I would like to marry a man who is the same age as my father as long as we have true love and something in common between us. For example, when Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan got married, Mr Yang was over 80 and Miss Weng was only 30. Can we say they aren’t happy now? The age difference doesn’t matter. If I can find many things I like in a man, such as his ambition, his sincerity and his strong responsibility etc., I will love him.

i quite agree with you. i don't think it a good idea to deal with the problem of high housing prices, either.

1.where can young women find so many middle-aged men who posses a house but have not got married? shall we encourage thoes womento destroy others' families as the third wheel?

2. what should those young men do during such a long time before they are able to afford a house and get married ? this will for sure result in more extramarital encounters, one night stands as well as prostitution.

should Ms Liang be able to answer these two questions, i would raise both of my hands to support her!
