How can she sleep with him....

Mick Jagger is 72.. his girlfriend is 29. She is pregnant.

43 years younger than him.... is she in it for the cash or is it possible for her to actually fancy him?

I just don't believe it.

I think as you get older i'm sure you find your age group attractive. But at 29 would you find a 72 year old attractive? Yuck...

AIBU

The thread isn't ageist at all. What a ridiculous comment. It isn't a gist to say you're not sexually attracted to the elderly, just as it isn't sexist to say you're not sexually attracted to women. Who we're sexually attracted to any why is no indication of whether a person is sexist, ageist, homophobic, disablist or racist.Hmm

If Patrick Stewart is in his 70s, I'd definitely make an exception. I'd never have thought of him as that old. The charisma trumps everything. And his bedroom eyes.

I love Caroline Aherne but I hate that Mrs Merton quote. It was funny once (a loooong time ago) but now everyone who says it thinks they're as witty as she was.

I had a relationship with a much older man when I was in my early 20s. It fucked me up no end. He was the epitome of abusive and I've had to deal with the consequences ever since. Whilst he wasn't Mick Jagger, he did have that combination of worldliness, charisma and intrigue. I'd dance on his grave if I discovered he'd died. I thought I had it all back then but looking back it was a very destructive experience.

Peridotisinvalid · 15/07/2016 13:50

I couldn't agree more, squoosh

Eatthecake · 15/07/2016 13:54

once
No I don't feel sick at all it now. I was 20 him 59 but I knew what I was doing and I knew what I wanted so he was taking advantage.

I do see what your saying about his motivations and I admit he more than likely did find me attractive due to age, but we both enjoyed ourselves.

I imagine her giving birth to a wizened little fossil Shock

SoThisIsSummer · 15/07/2016 13:58

But red surely you understand that was because he wasnt a nice person rather than old person?

I had relationship with older man, and he was amazing Smile

Jade Jagger is 44 - she's got teenage children (MJs grandchildren) who are closer in age to MJ's GF than his own kids... Its 2 generations away..

actually Jade Jagger is a grandmother, her daughters are in their 20's. She also has a child the same age as her grandchild.

But again, who the fuck cares, and isn't ageism one of the isms that MN is against?

CalmItKermitt · 15/07/2016 14:05

Agreed Squoosh.

RedHareWithBlondeHair · 15/07/2016 14:09

SoThisIsSummer Oh absolutely I understand that! I just wanted to share my experience. Yes it comes down to the fact that he wasn't a good person. But the age difference affected the dynamic and thus contributed to the abuse he put me through. I try not to think about it too much because it really affects me. I don't usually hate people but I can honesty tell you that I hate him more than there are grains of rice on the earth.

squoosh · 15/07/2016 14:10

So Jagger's newest child will be Jade Jagger's grandchild's great aunt or uncle!

Imagine being a Great Aunt from birth?

Just5minswithDacre · 15/07/2016 14:10

She was the woman he was in a hotel with mere days after L'Wren's suicide. So it's all very distasteful and an overlap seems possible.

Bleurgh, both of them.

KindDogsTail · 15/07/2016 14:10

His fame, power, aura and charisma etc would mean she would not see him as someone her age would normally see a 29 year old.

KindDogsTail · 15/07/2016 14:11

see a 72 year old I meant!

25 years between me and DS's Father

The80sweregreat · 15/07/2016 14:21

Man is a nightmare, his last girlfriend sadly died, 8 children by different women , hardly the settling down sort. She must be mad, or just thinking of the money! Sounds harsh, but the entire group seem very unhinged to me.

squoosh · 15/07/2016 14:22

'just thinking of the money'

Jagger is famous for being tighter than a duck's arsehole. Ask Jerry Hall!

There is a correlation between greater paternal age and schizophrenia in the offspring.

Like Luciana Morad.

LovePGtipsMonkey · 15/07/2016 14:37

he's not going to marry her, The80, he neber does since Jerry, she's doing it to set up her child and herself financially - ballerinas earn very little and it's not a long term career, maybe he'll help her study or whatever. Of course it's not just a simple romance from her side!
He is tight with money, but not towards his DC, within reason obv (as he's got so many). It's not just money it 's connections and the name itself he can offer his DC, couldn't harm. For some unknown ballerina quite a leg up in the world!
If there was an overlap with L.Wren then she's obvoiusly predatory.

LovePGtipsMonkey · 15/07/2016 14:37

Just - exactly, she is basing her motives on Luciana and know marrieage is unlikely yet Luciana's child is set up for a cushy life.

LovePGtipsMonkey · 15/07/2016 14:39

L'Wren

Just5minswithDacre · 15/07/2016 14:41

29 is old in ballerina career terms, I guess.

As Monkey says, Lucas has done okay.
