Masterpiece:
I have a 20 year old friend who is currently dating a 47 year old.
And it's ao super weird, the guy is almost as old as my mum, and she is as old as my little sister.
Zebediah:
Stop shirttail-shaming Jim already!

Not just the Western world either, it was pretty universal, and to a considerable extent still is. Men's fertility can continue to a much greater age than women's, and tends to tail off more gradually.
I would say that if Jim needs to ask about his soul-patch, he should shave it off; facial hair should be carried with confidence. I'm not a fan of men leaving "tailed" shirts untucked because I think it looks scruffy too, but if Jim is a bit of a dag, and that how he rolls, so be it. He did smarten up for his date with Dora, though.

I have a twenty-* old friend and I have no idea on her relationship status towards that one former teacher of hers. The only thing I know is that they had not had sex last time we spoke about it, and I am almost sure they don't.
CleoKat:
I'm so pleased to see Jim back because I see him as a potential good fit for Dora (an aside, I prefer the squarer jaw, less poofy hair and the age lines Jeph gave him back in his earlier appearances, he's got a touch of 'Marten's Youthful Uncle' about him now). I still have hopes for these two in the future and I'm sneakily hoping that his disappointment will stir some 'what if...' feelings in Dora. They only had one date and now a quasi-professional relationship so I'm stretching my expectations but to hell with it, I want it to happen.
