29 for 80 years?


Tuck Everlasting... Twilight... Age of Adeline... Why are we not bothered by tales of romance between people with hundreds of years in age difference, as long as the old person LOOKS young?

Well even though she has lived for 107 years, she's not physically 107. So it's like her aging froze. Her mind and body stayed the same. Maybe not her soul. I think the fact that she probably slept with her lover's dad is more weird than the age difference lol

I'm 33 and even to me 18 yr olds seem like children. I can't imagine being 107 mentally and not feeling a tad akward about having relations with someone 80 years my junior.

She is chronologically 107, but not physically 107 since her body has not aged at all.


When I'm good, I'm GOOD. When I'm bad, I'm BETTER.

But mentally she is 107. This is proven by her extensive knowledge in Trivia Pursuit.
Her physical body is the only thing that is 29. So it's creepy to me.

reply

The trivia skills and language skills are Only from age related time to learn. Her brain hasnt aged since age 29 so she wouldnt be attracted to old men yet. When I was 29 I thought even 50 year olds were ancient. How things change haha

Why wouldn't we be? Not sure why you are bothered by it. Is age a bad thing?
