George has been criticized for dating someone 18 years younger than himself and Stacy's been stated as being older than 32. If she's not 32 but older, then the age difference wouldn't be as large so then maybe less criticism?

Yeah, but I don't think she is older. She looks it, yes, but I can't see at what point in her life she was able to turn the clock back and get away with it if she's been known (I won't say famous) since she was pretty young.

THe video doesnt look like a "George and Stacey" kiss; it looks more like SK reached over and kissed him.

As far as age, I actually like dating younger men. I still have young energy and dating an older man is like watching paint dry.

As for George, I wouldnt want to be one of his "project girlfriends". In fact, if I ever met him, I'd wish he wasnt famous; in my opinion his being famous would be an obstacle. But then I'm not about money. If you cant be happy without it, you'll never be happy with it.

It seems to me a kiss of greeting between two men

What really needs to be brought up is George's age when his first marriage crumped....he was 32-33 years of age. He keeps dating women who are this age even though he is way past (way past!! asskiss1 ) this age! LOL!

On a serious note, I think there are (obviously Confuzzled ) lingering issues. Perhaps he is stuck as anyone would be after experiencing divorce. It brings up older emotional wounds that happened earlier in his life, probably just being past through generations. No person is really to blame. It is simply that as people we are evolving.

I will admit that I would prefer to see George with a gal who was born in the same decade as him. I am a woman in my 40s and I think we are underrated.....Looks fade with age and I am sure George would admit to this as well) I think there is great wisdom, companionship, and patience in the older gals.

Yes, I can fully understand the allure of a younger woman. There is no doubt that a woman in her early 30s is in her prime physically. Less wrinkles, boobs that don't sag, less body fat, reproductive organs that will work consistently, etc.....And not a clue as to how their bodies will change on them as they progress toward 40. It is subtle, but it does happen. They will wish they wore sunscreen more consistently.

Well put, hmh! Greenline from me to thee! And let's not forget those of us in our 50s and 60s - getting better and better with age, like a fine wine, even though that's when the aging process ceases to be so subtle!

He said in an Oscar campaign interview, I forget which one, that one of his fears is becoming a Lothario (a character in a play in the 1700s; a man who seduces and deceives women) It's not a part of the definition, but the implication is that of an older man on the prowl. And yes, he has become one.

I don't think its fair to call him a lethario because he dates younger women. Most men prefer younger women its a common thing. A lethario deceives women. We have no reason to believe that he is being deceptive to SK or any to the other women he dates. he makes it clear he doesn't want to marry or have kids. If they continue to believe they can change him then the issue is with them and not with him. SK went into this with her eyes wide open. The implication of the definition of Lethario is the deception piece and he is not deceptive.

Just realised something. There's a twelve-year age gap between Pitt and Jolie............

Isn't it really a question of compatibility? (Something I know quite a lot about to my cost!)

10 years' age gap (give or take) I can live with, especially when the younger partner is already what I'd call an adult adult (ie: over 30).

An age gap when one is old enough to be the other's parent is IMO pretty damn hard to overcome, and yes, I'm aware that there are posters in this forum with that kind of age gap in their own relationships. I'm not saying it's impossible, just that it's unlikely to work.

The question for me is whether Stacy would still date George if instead of being a millionaire star he was only, say, a mid-management accountant. I think the answer would be no.

I agree with you but here is a difference between a 11/12 year age difference and 19 years....but the biggest difference to me is the fact that AJ was already a parent by the time she was 30 years old, which in her case really matured her.

Agreed Katie, I remember an interview with Sarah Larson when she said if George were a reality contestant she wouldn't have dated him. I guess good looks and charm only go so far.

When I lived in Hollywood, I had a close but strictly platonic friendship with a man more than 30 years my senior. He was friendly with the head of the foreign press association, so we went to tons of celebrity-filled events. I have always worn very short skirts, and would tell nosy people that I was "just his driver." No one believed the relationship was not sexual. Hollywood has different expectations. The problem is as the older partner ages, and chooses a different lifestyle, will the relationship stay the same? That's what caused a strain in the Aaron Spelling marriage. He invited young male visitors to dinner to amuse his wife, when he wanted to go to bed early.

I was at a party last night and there was a group of mental health workers there, from therapists to psychiatrists and for some reason the discussion of older men and younger women dating/marrying and Older women and younger men dating/ marrying came up. The George/Stacy relationship came up as others. The all agreed it is a need from both sides to date someone who is either very much older or younger than you. He is looking for or needs something in the relationship and she is looking for or needs something in the relationship in order for it to exist. The all agreed that eventually if these couples stay together there are major lifestyle and health differences that cause problems in the relationship. One of the women there was 50 and her husband is 68 and lately she says she going it alone to parties and events. He is not interested in the same things she is. He is retired and she is in the height of her career.

The issue between George and Stacy is not the age difference is that he shows total disregard for her, all the red carpet together I have never seen a sign of affection towards Stacy and I have seen many with Ely. the relationship is so clearly false that does not like!

He doesn't show her the attention and affection that he has with his prior girlfriends. They are in Cabo, who would know that, with the other girls he was willing to be photographed. They have been together since July and we have only seen them out to dinner once, maybe twice. We only have seen them on the redcarpet together and in Cabo a couple of times. Lelacorb I agree he has shown her total disregard and not shown her any affection on the redcarpet. Look back at the Met Pictures of him and Sarah Larson, he showed her affection, always holding her had, smiled at her and then for some reason dumped her the next day. Not the same guy with this onel.

Someone mentioned earlier that George once expressed a problem with dating much younger women. I couldn't find anything like this, but remember this article from 2006? George described his "flawless life partner" as a combination of Michelle Pfeiffer (beauty), Julia Roberts (personality), Nicole Kidman (laugh), and Jennifer Lopez (ambition). These women are no more than 8 years younger than George and Michelle is 3 years older.

Clooney Dreams Up Ideal Woman

Hollywood hunk GEORGE CLOONEY wishes he could create a flawless life partner using different parts of his actress co-stars.

The ONE FINE DAY star, who split from longterm love LISA SNOWDON last year (05), envisions a romantic future with a MICHELLE PFEIFFER lookalike, and a perfect personality.

He says, "The ideal woman is a mixture.

"She should have NICOLE KIDMAN's laughter, then the personality of JULIA ROBERTS and the aspect of Michelle Pfeiffer, the quintessence of beauty.

"And finally the ambition of JENNIFER LOPEZ."

Maybe he isn't showing the PDA in public because he is taking a different approach on how the public views him/her when they are out and about. Maybe, he is trying to keep the affection personal this time around.

EEOSandy,
Was G being 100% honest, or was he trying to be a nice Southern Gentleman by complimenting his leading ladies? There are those in the industry who would question G's assessment of these stars. And I notice he does not list intelligence, similar values and goals, love of animals (Max was an issue in his earlier relationships), or the biggest point, appreciation and admiration of him as an individual man. Maybe G is much more immature than we expect, and that's why he dates much younger and vapid girls.

As I stated in a post yesterday, I take what he says about his personal/private life with a grain of salt. I do believe he has always had an affinity for Julia Roberts and Cindy Crawford (who he doesn't mention here). I also believe that due to his distaste for marriage he avoids relationships with such women so as not to risk falling in love. He apparently just wants to have a good time right now and there's nothing wrong with that.

I appreciate COH in part because we discuss topics that relate to my "real life." Because I look and dress much younger than I actually am, I am regularly approached by "older men." Sometimes they are actually (in years) younger than me. Telltale sign, when they pick me up and are not listening to current music in their car. By the end of the dinner date, they talk about their college-aged sons they think I should be seeing. They clearly do not feel comfortable with the lifestyle of a "younger girl." Camping? I did that when I was younger. Dancing? Same answer. Physical fitness, as you should be in better shape as you age? I do a little walking. No matter how nice and appreciative and complimentary I am, the men understand that their fantasy is not realistic. Same as when they pay a much younger girl to do lap dances, thinking that the strippers might view them as more than "a cash register that needs to be opened and emptied."

I also think George is having fun and enjoys spending time with women who are fun and easy going. I don't think the women he dates are dumb I'm sure they have conversations about his interests . He has enough people around him that he can discuss Sudan and politics with if he feels the need.

Annemarie,
I don't expect G to discuss politics on his dates. But has anyone ever heard SK twit or say anything interesting? I hope she sounds much more intelligent in person. Someone said that G gets bored easily, and that's why he changes girls.

It's hard to tell from this article--depends on the question(s) he was asked. Seems like the question might have been "which one of your leading ladies is your ideal?" I have always gotten the impression there is no love lost between George and JLo. Anyone else get that feeling?

I have heard rumors that JLo is very controlling, especially on the set. Also she is not known for her acting ability. When directors learn that I am not "brain-dead," they worry that I will want to replace them, literally or figuratively. Of course not being at all visual, the opposite is true. Many actresses are cast because they are pliant, not because they are gorgeous. It is easier to make a girl more beautiful, than to make one that is difficult to work with more passive. That is why there is a "publicity machine" to lie to the public.
