Guys, take a look at this pic, isn't weird? and here is the information for the picture:

A 69-year-old wife and 37-year-old husband have been living happily together for almost ten years in Linghai, Liaoning province. However, the wife, Ma Yuqing, has been wishing to become younger in order to be a proper match with her husband.

Yesterday, Ma accompanied by her husband, came to a cosmetic hospital in Shenyang for wrinkle treatment.

She doesn't appear to be very wealthy to me. But how would I know?

There's all kinds of fetishes. Maybe he just has a fetish for old women.

their smile isn't the funniest part.

Don't you notice the old woman' hair style? it's very hilarious. Here in China, people normally don't have their hair done like that Laughing

I doubt he wanted her because of her haircut, and I doubt why he wanted her at all. I'm even thinking about whether 1 year is too old for me, and she is so much older than him.

Come on! He's not a "looker" himself.

By the strict definition of "fetish" you are correct, it is not a fetish. By strict definition fetish is about a fixation on a physical object or body part for sexual gratification.

wordnet.princeton.edu wrote:

Noun
S: (n) fetish (a form of sexual desire in which gratification depends to an abnormal degree on some object or item of clothing or part of the body) "common male fetishes are *beep*, legs, hair, shoes, and underwear"


However the word "fetish" is often used to refer to other types of sexual attraction fixations.

Examples would be:
Fat Fetish (chubby chasers) - those with a sexual fixation on overweight people;
Asian Fetish ("Rice Queen" for gay men) - those with a sexual fixation on Asian people;
Flip Fetish (subset of Asian Fetish) - those with a sexual fixation on Filipino people;
Latino(a) Fetish ("Bean Queen" for gay men) - those with a sexual fixation on Hispanic people;
Mature Fetish - those with a sexual fixation on old people.

There are many others. And I suppose there's nothing wrong with it. Anything is fine with me if the consenting adults are not damaging one another physically or mentally.

Mr Turtle, thanks a lot for the explanations of fetish. you know what? if you teach english, you would be very professional and patient. and you do know how to motivate your students' interest in English.

and you do know how to use different methods to teach different students. For example, you gave a lot of sexual examples to teach me how to use the word: fetish. what an excellent teacher you are! I am so proud of you.

I think they love each other. but still, for me, they are weird.

This lady has funny haircut, I guess that's a sign that she's young in heart.
and she must be really differrent from other women.

They have bright smiles.

She's not my type, but she's a cute older lady. He seems to be a cheerful and happy guy. I guess it works!

I did notice!! And I wanted to comment on it too, since it's not very usual to see an old woman wearing those little pigtails. It's funny, actually.
