I’m 34 & my man is 77 – yes, he spoils me rotten & people stare at us but his money is NOT the reason I’m with him
A WOMAN who is in a relationship with a man 43 years her senior has revealed that she is not with him for his money.
Imani, 34, met 77-year-old Larry via a dating app nine years ago.
She shared that she is often attracted to older men, and was intrigued by Larry’s “white hair“.
Imani said that there is never a dull moment in her relationship with Larry, as he “loves conversations”.
“There’s never a moment when I’m bored”, she told Love Don’t Judge.
Last week, Larry proposed to Imani in Paris, and she was delighted to say yes.
“I always knew I would end up with someone older, but to the extent of 43 years? No.”
Imani said that she had a lot to take into consideration before committing to Larry, such as how his health will decline when he gets older.
She added that if she and Larry ever part ways, she will only date women as “no one could compete with Larry.”
“This is gold standard, so I’d kind of be disinterested in dating a man”, she said.
Imani said that Larry is always spoiling her, and treated her to a shopping spree in Paris.
“He very rarely tells me no, he spoils me on a regular basis”, she said.
However, Larry said that Imani has “no expectations” and is always very grateful for everything he buys her.
“I think the biggest misconception about our relationship is that I’m in it for the money“, said Imani.
“This is not true, I’m in it because I love him, if I was with him just for the money I probably wouldn’t have been with him for this long.”
