Now that Catherine Zeeta Jones & Michael Douglas have split up?

Is every age gap relationship based on theirs?!

What in god's name are you talking about.

Who is this Media and where/when was this stated?

YouTheCat · 04/09/2013 11:27

Have they really?

Lots of people split up. People the same age split up all the time.

The media is full of shit.

I think my post explains what im talking about Baddriver.

Ive read 3 articles this morning. Two on the dailymail & one blog that my colleague showed me. All 3 stating that dating an older man only leads to heartache. I dont know how to link.

I agree You the media is full of shit.

The media, as far as I can see, have asked opinions on age gap relationships. I can't say I've seen anyone state they are all doomed.

The Daily Mail is not The Media.

Try reading some grown up actual newspapers and you might not get such a blinkered opinionated view of things.

YouTheCat · 04/09/2013 11:36

That's okay then. My dp is 10 years younger. Grin

overitalready · 04/09/2013 11:39

Myname if you wish to read the article on the 'not media' website that is the dailymail you will see why i say doomed. Again as i say i dont know how to link.

Onthebottom - Excellent. Great advice, ta.

also have a think about how capital letters can change the point of words, and the order the words are put in. You seem to have entirely missed my point.

Onthebottom - I have been dyslexic for 29 years now but your sarcasm again is excellent.

Nah, I avoid the DM because they print crap like this, although I might buy a copy and leave it around for dh to notice, just to keep him on his toes Grin

overitalready · 04/09/2013 11:51

Oh i didnt think of that one my. The non media might just work in our favour this one time Smile

What's the FT's take on it?

OnTheBottomWithAWomensWeekly · 04/09/2013 11:54

Its not non-media, its that you can't read one crappy paper and then ask why does all The Media say this one thing.
Thats like talking to one person and then asking why do all people say this?

overitalready · 04/09/2013 12:04

Sorry who's the ft?

I didnt state 'all' the media. I asked 'why' the media. So i shall rephrase.

to wonder why 3 articles i have read this morning state all age gap relationships are doomed?

OP posts:
OnTheBottomWithAWomensWeekly · 04/09/2013 12:05

Ok, in answer to that, its because two were the Daily Mail which think everything, everywhere is Doomed, and one was a blog written by someone with their own beef.

overitalready · 04/09/2013 12:25

Cheers
