So I don't know if this has hit your radar at all, but I am guessing that with a teenage daughter, it has. There is a new hot couple in Hollywood, and it has caused some controversial G-Chat debates amongst me and some of my friends... Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhal!
Personally, I have never been a big fan of Taylor's. I always thought that she was kind of overrated. However, recently I watched her E! True Hollywood story, and I think I might have a little bit of a girl-crush on her. OMG, she is so freaking talented. And I'd like to think that if she knew me, we would be the very best of friends. So, I have a bunch of friends who are totally anti Jake and Taylor, and think that they are a weird couple, because of the age difference. My parents have a pretty significant age gap (almost 12 years), and they have been married for almost 30 years! Maybe that is why the almost 10 year difference in age doesn't bother me a bit. In fact, I think that someone like Taylor needs an older man. She is so mature and has accomplished so much, how is she supposed to date some Taylor Lautner, 20 year old guy... what would they even talk about?? 
An older man like Jake, won't be intimidated by all of her success, and will treat her right. Not to mention, I think that they are pretty adorable together. What do you think? Have you ever dated a significantly older (or younger) man? How would you feel if I started dating an older guy? I can't get much younger without it being illegal... Taylor might be on to something... maybe we could learn something from her!-Eager Beaver
Eager Beaver,
At first I thought the Taylor/Jake hook-up was strange but then I remembered that my first sexual experience was with a man (a rocker!) who was 29 and I was 21. And there was a 10 year age gap between my parents and they were married 35 years until my Dad passed away. Now Mom’s dating a man who’s 9 years older. So, I think my initial reaction had more to do with them as people just because Taylor is a little goofy but I think Jake is too. And they both seem like sweet people ( I KNOW she is!) who want to be in long-term relationships. Thank God Tay swiftly got over that stupid John Mayer crush! Yuck! What a man-ho!!!
Jake has shown himself to be a serial monogamist which I like. Not to mention he’s hot, talented, funny, smart and family-oriented (he took on Reese Witherspoon and her kids and just look at him with his sister Maggie’s child!) Their age gap does seem perfect because, I agree, what 20 yr old guy can match her in brains and talent and not be threatened? BTW, I’m a HUGE Taylor Swift fan! I have all of her CDs and took my daughter to her concert for MY birthday, Taylor rocked it! Love, love, love her! It’s a little sick I think (no, I don’t have posters or t-shirts or anything) but there’s something about her and her music that brings out my inner teen and my mama bear at the same time! To me she is a total phee-nom, not just a trend like Demi Lovato! Course, I hope Demi gets the help she needs! Anyway, back to topic at hand, a 10 year age gap is not as big a deal as it once was and that goes both ways!-Hot Mama
