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

I was 29 for a whole year once. Just in case MissMarple29 thinks I can't remember it

'I imagine that Gerry Hall's definition of tight and mine differ vastly, on account of the fact we move in totally different financial zones.'

Well I believe she only found out their Hindu wedding ceremony wasn't legally binding when he decided to leave her. He knew! Bet it saved him a £ or two.

I'm in my 40s and I'd do Mick Jagger - he'd come third after Keith (lifelong obsession) and Charlie (who has aged the best by far, from an unpromising start) but Mick is a lot fitter and more attractive than most men half his age. That arse! Also, some of us really really like the Rolling Stones, which does colour it somewhat.

Just reminds me of tinned plum tomatoes Envy boak...

Really? Who doesn't know that when you marry, you get a certificate?

She didn't get one, or any paperwork at all, but apparently didn't find that at all odd.

Very very strange.

Just5minswithDacre · 15/07/2016 22:26

Tomatoes Long? Confused

squoosh · 15/07/2016 22:29

'Really? Who doesn't know that when you marry, you get a certificate?'

Maybe she didn't, who knows. But apparently it was a surprise to her they weren't legally married.

'the use of the word "annulment" indicates that the settlement is based on Jagger's argument that their 1991 Hindu marriage on the holiday isle of Bali was not legally binding in English law.'

Hmmm

I wonder what she sees in multi millionaire sir mick Jagger?

HelenaDove · 15/07/2016 23:37

Im one who prefers older men. DH is 23 years my senior

Ive also had relationships with men 21 years older and 17 years older.

But Mick Jagger ........no i wouldnt

Agree with a PP about Roger Daltrey though. Smile

And watching Punk Britannia on BBC4 i liked the guy who was the lead singer of Sham 69 (as he is now) he will only be late 50s now though and im 43 so not much younger. There was just something about him.

CatThiefKeith · 15/07/2016 23:55

Google tells me Sean Connery is 85. Which means when I was 20 and fancied him in Robin Hood prince of thieves he was 65.

Yeah I totally would have.Blush

Myusernameismyusername · 16/07/2016 00:08

I am not one for caring about age but I don't find him attractive and never have done so the idea of shagging him is a bit grim. I also feel the same way about Kanye West. Some men just make your fangita want to shivel up.
I think I would find MJ self obsessed over bearing and annoying. I think she's a tit for having a child with him because he is a proven selfish twat. Jerry Hall kept his family together all these years, mick just does whatever the hell he likes. He seems like a bad baby daddy to me

LovePGtipsMonkey · 16/07/2016 00:31

tbf his dc seem to like/be happy about him (grown up ones at least).

LovePGtipsMonkey · 16/07/2016 00:33

besides there must come a point when he stops womanising due to age - very soon! he may not want to be on his own hence will have to behave, spend more time with the new child too - but I very much doubt he'll marry ever again.

Ifonlylovewouldsavetheday · 16/07/2016 00:41

Hmmm, I would presume they are happy with it just to keep in good terms so far as a will is concerned, but I may be being too cynical

bellybuttonfairy · 16/07/2016 00:42

oh dear. I'm 43 - I just couldn't bear shagging MJ. In fact, worse still, snogging an old gentleman (although, MJ is probably not a gentleman). All that tongues and saliva. He probably doesn't have all his own teeth.

Nope - I definitely couldn't do it.

Myusernameismyusername · 16/07/2016 00:52

All mick's children have made it clear that it has been Jerry who has kept them all close knit. They all went to her new wedding, even Mick's ex wife. He's spent most of his life on tours, he's not a very involved father. I am sure they love him but hes not the kind of father figure I would want for my child

Alisvolatpropiis · 16/07/2016 00:57

belly my grandmother is 78 and has all her own teeth!

I'd probably do something bad to a 29 year old chap who wanted to date her though.

Atenco · 16/07/2016 01:25

I find it peculiar that people don't accept that we all find different people attractive, it certainly makes life a lot easier when our friends aren't attracted to our husbands.

Grouchymare · 16/07/2016 01:42

I am a 35 year old woman with a good job and a higher degree- i am happily married with two children. Given the correct circumstances I would have sex with Mick Jagger - you are all very boring and judgy and maybe need to leave your houses or indulge in a good celebrity crush a bit more.

GiddyOnZackHunt · 16/07/2016 01:49

Well my mother would have a massive hissy fit if I shagged MJ since she was the naice polite Stones fan in the 60s.
However.
It's not like anyone is going to be surprised that he's 70+ and not the settling down type. She's made her choices. She will get maintenance. She's not pledged herself to look after him in old age. It really is different getting pregnant by a rich man with no expectation of a relationship than forming a relationship with a pensioner who might need you to care for them.
It's a measure of how money changes things.
FWIW I'm mid 40s and Harrison Ford beats Jagger.

HelenaDove · 16/07/2016 01:54

Grouchymare not everyone said things like that. Maybe take a bit less wine consumption next time so you can read the thread properly.

BeJayKayven · 16/07/2016 02:14

Helena but do you have a "higher degree" that make you qualified to comment? 😄

HelenaDove · 16/07/2016 02:35

Oh i get it No ive never gone a higher age gap than already stated. The same as Mick and Melanie would mean me sleeping with an 86 year old as im 43

Even I have a limit.

SomeDaysIDontGiveAMonkeys · 16/07/2016 04:16

Ewww just ewwww. I've never understood the appeal of MJ ConfusedHmm
