Ok, I asked ChatGPT what it thought about Bob in the Octogenarian Romance thread:
What I Think About “Bob” (through the lens of forum commentary)
Bob comes across as a highly structured, confident, and experienced man—someone who knows what he likes and executes on it. That’s charming if you appreciate assurance and routine, but it may feel stifling if you value spontaneity or equality in a partner.
He exudes comfort and control—knowing the ship, the routines, the people. That can be reassuring in mature relationships, but there’s also a chance it sidelines or overlooks his partner’s desires and autonomy.
In schemes like retirement community arrangements and speedy courtings, it’s wise to tread carefully. Several folks in the thread suggest stepping back, keeping options open (like keeping her house), and moving deliberately—not emotionally—in important decisions
