Nothing, but that anecdotal evidence isn’t necessarily statistically significant.

Jokes on them: the older men aren’t actually much better.

I feel like this isn’t inherent to men in that age group so much as it is to men in that age group who have never married

It’s amazing the extent to which dudes will go to celebrate the autonomy and maturity of barely legal women.

Well, knock yourself out, but that isn’t what’s happening here.

As a woman who dated men significantly older than me when I was in my teens and 20s, I regret it immensely. These were guys whose horrid behavior I would never have put up with by the time I got to be 30. As far as I can tell, it IS all about finding someone with lesser social power who won’t push back the way a peer…

But Demi Moore married Ashton Kutcher, so it’s all even, right?

This article made me look up the “Meet Your Second Wife” sketch from SNL.

I’m 41, and am consistently told that I don’t look my age. To a degree, I don’t blame them but I’ve been long considering that we have no concept of what anyone is supposed to look like at any given age. When weird guys online talk about 16-year-olds being the apex of the feminine ideal, I think most of them are…

I mean, if you gloss over the whole of society grooming men into thinking a woman’s value is her apperance and how fuckable they are and girls into thinking older man give 2 shits about them outside the bedroom, but are sure to dump them once they get any actual adult experience under them and start maturing and…

Not that I don’t love a “I can list a lot of people who are women for my list so obviously there’s no problem despite the fact the male version of this would be exponentially larger”...

The thing that creeps me out about Chris Evans dating Alba Baptiste is that she looks like she’s 17. Like, I’d have a hard time looking at the two of them and not questioning if she’s his niece or daughter given how young she appears.

It’s not even just celebrity men who do this (though it’s practically normalized and idealized in this social sphere) but men altogether do this. And it really has to do with misogyny, male insecurity, and stupidly unfounded irrational fears that they’ll be pressured into having families by women closer to their age.…

Okay, not my thing and I get it and maybe more so when some dude specifically targets younger women on a constant basis, but just as the ‘consensual adult’ line bugs some, the

Women dating down is seen as empowering - despite any power dynamics that might exist

Vanessa judge said meeting Kania Gerber reminds me of the snl sketch “ meet your second wife”

I’m a 38 year old woman who dated a 22 year old man for almost a year. Everyone knocking on these men for dating younger women is right - fundamentally, they must not be looking for the depth of connection and understanding that most of us seek in a partner.

The amount of comments desperate to make it less embarrassing to date someone that much younger. Imagine being boring enough that all you have to offer someone is ten more years paying bills.

Disclosure: I have worked with several of the above noted men. Most women their own age wouldn’t put up with them for 5 minutes...honestly, the way they are dating probably perfectly suits all parties concerned very well, in terms of emotional development and personal evolution. (trust me on this. once you have seen…

When guys/guy celebrities reach a certain age their brains stop thinking they’re old. They still see themselves as 20-something and they’re entitled to a girlfriend in their 20's. And it’s easier to impress a much younger girlfriend and not see the BS immediately.
