Can anyone defend this as true love?

Hugh Hefner And Playmate Crystal Harris GetEngaged.

60 years difference. Hugh looks like he’s way past the December of his life, she’s in the Spring of hers. Can anyone defend this as love, or is it something else?

You need to ask?:dubious:

Looks more like a mutually beneficial business arrangement to me.

I have absolutely no idea if these two are in love, true or otherwise. But I can tell you that sometimes extraordinarily mismatched people fall in love. Sure, it’s not the same number of years, but there are 22 between my Old Man and me, and it’s ridiculously nauseating how in love we are. Recent threads about May December romances brought out several similar stories with similar age spans.

My Old Man is gray, with most of his teeth gone. He’s got the wrinkles of a man who spent most of his life fighting fires and working farms in the sun. He’s not, forgive me, a handsome man. But he has the kindest heart, the warmest blue eyes and a smile that makes me melt from across a crowded room.

And he can make me come like a Roman fountain. :wink:

It is possible they made some kind of connection that is real and true to them. Unlikely, but technically possible.

Only Hefner and Harris can address that with any authority, but I think it’s safe to say it’s not the type of love, or type of partnership, that most of us have in mind for ourselves.

Why does it need defending? They’re consenting adults. I suspect Harris is probably not in love with Hef, but it’s none of my business.

She truly loves his money, the prestige, and living in a mansion.

He truly loves looking at her ass.

Sounds like true love to me.

I bet she really loves his bank account and I would imagine that he absolutely loves playing with her &%$$@ and her @$$%&!*

Probably a sound business decision for both of 'em; she gets a fair chunk of change, I’m sure, even with whatever pre-nup there is, and Hef keeps up his image.

Why on earth would he need to marry to get a fine looking piece of ass? It may not be love, but it’s not the usual “old man marries young thing to get hot sex”. He already has that mechanism in place. And it’s hard to believe that on a strictly physical level, she has so much more to offer than any number of other women.

Publicity.

I would think someone named **Morgenstern **would be an expert on True Love.

Hell, I was 30 something before I learned there was a difference between lust and love. Don’t look to me for advice.

Wait. There’s a difference?

Looks like True Love to me.

He loves her ass, and she loves his assets.

Morgenstern talking about twu wuv?
I see someone beat me to it :frowning:

DAMN YOU HAMSTER KING!

For better or for worse, this is not imagery I’m likely to forget any time soon. :slight_smile:

Maybe they’ve come out and claimed some sort of traditional love for each other, but there are many relationships where the love isn’t documented according to some sliding scale of traditionalism.

They might like each other’s company, and she might have an open relationship wherein she gets the benefits of being married to Hef (there are some) while swinging with guys/gals as she sees fit.

It’s whatever the heck they want it to be. Are they out there expounding this deep, classical love story and expecting us to buy it?

That wasn’t a rhetorical question. I actually don’t know.

It’s a proposition I find unlikely, but possible in light of my own ignorance.
