Recently Hugh Hefner's young fiance 25 yr. old Crystal Harris called off their wedding. The 85 yr. old legendary playboy didn't hold a grudge, letting Crystal keep the $90,000 engagement ring and the Bentley car he gave her as a gift. Crystal says Hef's lifestyle of multiple girls "just wasn't for her". Looks like she just got cold feet. Hmmmm, but could it have been the 60 yr. age difference? You gotta admit that's a big difference. And then again, there's the news about the 51 yr. old actor from "The Green Mile", Doug Hutchison, marrying a 16 yr. old aspiring Country singer, Courtney Alexis (for sure!). I mean, she's 16!

But, no matter how you look at it, I truly believe love is blind. One website says the things to consider in the May-December relationships are career, travel, marriage and children. While one partner may look forward to these, the other has a 'been there done that" experience. And the site further states strong communication and honesty help these age gap pairings succeed. I think Gary Puckett and the Union Gap  said it best in this old tune...Well, at least from the guy's point of view.
