They were supposed to get married this weekend, but apparently Hef’s 25-year-old fiancee has changed her mind and abruptly dumped him.

I’m not sure if I should feel sorry for him, or amused.

How sad. How’s he going to find another woman at his age?

He’s become a trainwreck - a parody of what he once represented.

The pre-nup strikes again.

Perhaps his lawyers dropped the prenup at the last minute, figuring it’d be too late for her to back out?

I think that Hef forgot that when money is buying you the bride, that you actually have to part with some money, usually an agreed upon amount. I suspect that the pre-nup was insufficient.

Wouldn’t it be his side that would want the prenup? Absent that, isn’t the usual divorce arrangement for everything to be split 50-50?

Maybe he can find another younger woman. He should ask his fiance if her grandmother is still alive.

His previous solution was to combine a number of twenty year olds, so they added up to his age.

Personally, it sounds a bit sad. What the hell does he have to talk to these women about?

Talk about blowing your financial security.

Oh wait, she was already doing that…

You will be married to an 80-something bag of bones and STDs.  
Who has an entire life that doesn’t involve you except for sex and as a trophy.  
Who will openly have sex with other women in the same house.  
Who needs a ton of viagra and (allegedly) baby oil to get it up in the first place.  
Whose house (allegedly) reeks of pet urine and feces (and baby oil).

What young 20-something woman would NOT aspire to this joy?

Hefner got together with Crystal Harris, Kristina Shannon, and Karissa Shannon in 2008. Their ages were 22, 19, and 19 which added up to only 60. Hefner was 81 at the time. So he was short a 21-year-old.

I’m sure he can find a short 21 year old somewhere.

Bunny-Force, combine to form GIRL-VOLTRON!!

I like it. I suggest that henceforth, all group sex with appropriate gender-imbalance be renamed ‘\<gender, age, and persona appropriate \>-Voltron-ing.’

–  
The male equivalent shall be ‘Captain Planent-ing’

I know 19 is above the age of consent, the age of consent to have sex with an 81 year old should be bumped to at least 35.

An old rule of thumb is that the youngest woman a man should date is half-his age plus 7, which for Hugh would be 49-50. Lea Thompson, Meg Ryan, Heather Locklear and Bonnie Hunt are all in this category- not sure which ones are single, but I think they’d look way less disgusting with them. (Julia Louis Dreyfus is also in this category but she already has an ancient gazillionaire [her father] who’ll make her rich when he dies, plus she’s rich already.)

I’m getting a good vibe off a Hefner-Thompson alliance. I need to strike now while the iron is soft if I want to make my matchmaker fees.

Who says? Time to change that antiquated rule. Let’s make a new one. He who is rich gets the pussy.

Could she void the prenup with the revelation that he comes dust like a puffball fungus?
