I'd be more surprised that a man felt bad or awkward about it. They don't normally seem to.

[(Anonymous)]

The sad thing is that women think they should feel bad about it. Not that men don't.

[(Anonymous)]

But the conversation about men being attracted to younger women - at least places like here - often frames it as "creepy". Which would imply that they should feel bad about it.

[(Anonymous)]

Again - the sad thing is that any person of any gender would feel bad about it, or be guilt-tripped about it by anyone of any gender.

NAYRT

I don't think anyone should feel bad for being attracted to people who are of age, but much younger than them. However, if someone in their forties/fifties is pretty much exclusively attracted to/only interested in dating people who are in their early twenties, then I do think that's kind of skeevy, and also kind of sad. And if people thinking that about them makes them feel bad, well, then I guess they'll have to feel bad.

Lmao yeah. It's seen as totally acceptable for dudes to be attracted to someone way younger than them and they almost never get any shit from it.

[(Anonymous)]

Do women usually get shit for it? By comparison, I mean.

[(Anonymous)]

This is what I wondered....from personal experience, not really...

[(Anonymous)]

Women get less shit for it than men. Women just get made fun of. Men get called creepy and predatory.

[(Anonymous)]

Where are you in society that men all get called creepy and predatory for it? My uncle is ridiculously rich. After divorcing his second wife when he was in his 60s, he went out with a bunch of 20-something model types. And usually people were fine with it. I basically just see it as expected a lot of the time that older wealthy men will be with younger beautiful women. I'm not saying it is right, just not unexpected.

[(Anonymous)]

Tumblr isn't the real world, nor is it representative of the world at large. In real life, older men date/marry younger women all the time and generally nobody says boo unless it's a very large age gap. Even then, they're not necessarily called creepy and predatory and it's the women who are called gold-diggers.

NA

[(Anonymous)]

This so much.

[(Anonymous)]

But everyone on here HATES that it's seen as totally acceptable! This whole thread is complaining about the fact that it's seen as totally acceptable!
