Bill Belichick

[samosa4u]

Young ladies have two options:

First option - wake up 5am ... spend over two hours getting ready ... goes to work ... accident on the road ... still arrives late ... gets crapped on by her miserable boss ... deals with miserable clients ... deals with miserable co-workers who want her fired cause' they're probably jealous of her ... doesn't even have enough time to eat her lunch ... comes home in the evening with a splitting headache ... does this five - six days a week, and after she pays all her bills, she hardly has any $$$ leftover for herself to enjoy ... She does this for ten years and she will end up looking like shit ... it will suck the life outta' her ... and after twenty years, she will end up getting a disease from all that stress ...

Second option - finds an older rich guy ... puts up with him for a few years ... maybe has a baby ?? Walks away set for life ...

I seriously can't blame women for choosing the second option ...

I think about who I was at 24 years old and what has transpired in my life in the 3 and half decades since. And I consider the 20-somethings I work with and encounter in my daily wandering. I just don't get it. It seems well nigh impossible to have a meaningful relationship with someone young enough to be your child (or grandchild in Bill's case) The disparity in life experiences is just too great.

People are free to form any relationship they want within the bounds of moral and/or legal constraints. It's not any of my business, but this feels more like a business transaction than anything else. For both parties. Bill may not think that it is, but I cannot help but think of the old saw that "there is no fool like an old fool."

I don't think people must be with others the same age to be happy. And if Bill is happy, then I don't think he is a fool.

I'm a member of a makerspace, and worked in bicycle shops for almost 20 years. Plus volunteering at a local earn a bike program.

I have a few friends - not romantic or anything, just good friends- who are young enough to be my kids. To me friends are darn near family, so not just people I know and tolerate.
I've learned a lot from them, and hope I've taught them a few things. Mostly in regards to technology, and knowledge of older ways of getting things done.

Can't say about a more involved relationship, but would think it could work for the right two people.

I am having DNS issues and managed to post a second time when I hit refresh

I’m truly “concerned” about people who are “concerned” about Bill Belichick.

The guy has wrangled 1000’s of giant and volatile men into cohesive NFL units for most of his adult life.

I think he’ll be fine.

Is it weird? Yes! Are both of these people somewhat unlikable? Yes! Do I care beyond that? No!

Bill is perhaps wise enough to realize that he can't take it with him so he might as well have a good time while he's still alive and kicking. And I take it he still has some kick left which is perhaps prompting a certain amount of jealousy from some quarters.

I fully agree.

Yes, especially the guy known for coaching an NFL team I've despised for sixty years. The name "Patriots" was bad(boring!) enough by itself but I really hate any team named after a geographic region larger than a city.

Be weirder yet if he entered into a new relationship at this stage in his life with a woman his age. What tempted you about this old hen, Bill? Her "mind"? Read a book. They're more easily put aside and don't intrude on the rest of your life.
