First of all, let me tell you the hits related to mail order brides is rather off-putting. But I found this which doesn't indicate at all that Serbian women prefer much older men (admittedly that is not authoritative). I'm not referring to mail order brides. It's a simple cultural difference that I have personal experience with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) The mail order bride thing was a side issue. I was searching for Serbian marriage customs. Still.... 32 years? No way that's normal. I suspect your "personal experience" is small sample size, anecdotal stuff. Also, Seles didn't get married until her 40s. That's not typical in any culture.

Neither is being a nine time winner of a Grand Slam event and a stint as the best female tennis player in the world. Only 4 Grand Slam events per year (assuming they don't slide the Austrailian back into December in which case there could be 5) & only 1 top ranked female player at any given time.

Doohickie Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 Understood. Just questioning the age difference assertion that @Eleven is talking about. Yes, many cultures have some age difference... my dad was 6 years older than my mom; my grandfather was 10 years older than my grandmother. In my (Polish American) culture that seems to be a result of a young man establishing himself before marrying, but most of the women his age have already married (to men older than him) so there available women are younger in age. But 32 years difference... I think calling that typical in just about any culture is a stretch. And the subject has been hammered into the ground by now; I've said my piece and I'm done.

MattPie Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 Maybe she just likes the dude. I mean really, painting stereotypes and conjecture into this isn't a great look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfreeman Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 They've been married for a while now. Good for them and I hope they are happy. You're allowed to like what you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She made $15M in prize money alone, with unknown additional income from advertising. I get that Golisano has more money than that, but how much could that really improve her life? Not more than being married to someone you don’t like would make it worse, IMPO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
