I don't know what to make of this:

Anthony Kiedis and model girlfriend expecting first child

I'm sort of happy for Anthony though I have doubts as to what sort of dad he might make. I think it's the fact that the mother of his child to be is 20 years old. Nothing new, I know, but I still find it somewhat distasteful. It says something of his character which doesn't sit well with me.

Please prove me wrong AK!

I will debate this with you for hours and hours...

1) age is simply a number
2) thousands of close-aged couples hook up every day and have crap relationships
3) thousands of close-aged couples get married and have children every day and have rubbish relationships and get divorced and families torn apart
4) in my own experience, and no doubt in your own, we have known or been with men who are much older and still act like little children, or vice versa

So there.

Hmmm, I can see why you have doubts, DeepKickGirl - firstly, why do 'wildmen' choose such children to be with? Is it because their maturity, motives and behaviour won't be questioned by a 'model' who is barely the US drinking age?

It has always peeved me that fortysomething blokes always tend to find 'love' with someone half their age. In recent memory I can only think of Greg Norman who is currently dating someone (Chris Evert) whose age is in the same decade as his own...

Here's to crossing our fingers and praying that the chicklet is waaaaay older than her years!

I think the issue is the almost constant confirmation that once women pass 30 they're on the decline and no longer attractive. Given the choice between a 20 year old and a 40 year old, most men will go for the 20 year old which is disheartening after everything women have done to prove themselves as equal and capable etc etc...at the end of the day it still all comes down to cellulite free legs, wrinkle free eyes and gravity defying boobs.
