Not frowned upon just uncommon I never saw a woman with a younger man getting hated on. If anything the guy is accused of having mommy issues but that's about it
I'd like to think I'm unbiased bmcuz my parents never truly gave a damn or told me what was politically up or down, but if you put the pictures together, it don't look right lmao. Women are HOT, younger, more so. When you out a hot young women next to anything or anyone, the whole picture becomes better, men have cut physiques, cool, w. e, but women are still better
I don’t think either option should be frowned upon.
People end up who they end up, and that’s it. I think the people that moan about it are simply envious.
Women who "frown upon'' it are simply jealous... Gah, mom does it all the time. Bad mouths her best friend for having a fawning suitor, a good boyfriend. He's thirty, she's forty. She's his fucking princess. I think it's cute.
I think that depends who you talk to, but I'd guess that what people have against the older women dating younger guys (and I suspect most people do not care either way) is when she's at the end of childbearing age and he's childless.
I have no clue. I guess because it’s like a joke or stereotype for older men to date younger women and it’s like whoo go get it but older women who date younger women are looked down on as unfeminine
Really? I always got the vibe that it was because women just don't find younger men attractive.
I don't know that anyone cares if women date younger men. My mom is almost 60 and she's dating a guy in his 40s and no one says shit about that.
are we talking about planet earth?
cause last time I checked men who date younger women get more then just frowned. they get called pigs, perverts, desperate losers, and even extreme terms like pedophile, etc.
not saying that they dont deserve it
Most of the girls I seen are with older man now. There was this very hot bbw 28F I was seeing for while then sometime after a year she met her long term boyfriend 45M who's is a heavy lift body builder also has look alikes of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Dwayne Johnson but much bigger and more thicker. She also tells me the sex is a lot better with him and she also feels the emotional connections WAY MORE stronger and intense then all of her ex boyfriends and the guys she seen. 🤷🏻♂️
It's not my observation that women are "frowned upon" but others for dating younger men any more so than men are frowned up for dating younger women. What strikes me as more salient is that generally women tend to prefer similar aged or older guys to younger guys, relative to what is the case for guys.
So the difference isn't driven by social pressure to anywhere NEAR the extent it's dirven by personal preference.
Really? By who?
Young studs tend to be in demand by most divorcees and high flying women. It's their time and money and no one, but you, seems to be caring.
I think it has to do with traditional gender roles. Traditionally younger men are not mature enough, and stable enough to take care of women. Its also part of why women seek out older men.. On that same token its an out dated concept.
They are not. Its odd to see it reversed due to our biological inclinations, but no one really cares beyond seeing it as the abaration that it is.
Since when last I checked...
https://www.youtube.com/embed/6oKc4o9qSbYWhen I was 19 I definitely didn't frown upon my 43 year old girlfriend. Of course I sometimes playfully called her Mommy when she got bossy.
A 50-year old guy who dates an 18-year old is not socially acceptable. It is creepy. If the age difference is 10 years or less (as long as both are over 18) then it’s generally accepted regardless of the gender.
of course 50 yr old dating a 18 yr old is not socially acceptable. what does a man that age have in common with an 18 yr old kid?
@Arabella_Rose I agree. The question implies that it’s socially acceptable for much older men to date younger women but the opposite is not socially acceptable but I think they’re both socially unacceptable.
I think that dating someone older (5-10 years) is not a problem. But the problem arises when one of the partners is significantly older. You would have to wonder what does a man that age has in common with someone so much younger. Not saying its impossible for love to happen between couples with huge age gaps. But its pretty rare that legitimate love can occur.
Its more socially acceptable for older men to date younger women because the man is typically a 1-5 years older than the woman in a typical relationship. So its an acceptable sight. So this sight compared to seeing an older woman dating a much younger man, seems abnormal / odd.
Women just do it less often than men so it’s not as “normal” in society
women frown upon it themselves and men dating younger women, or at least I see only women complaining about it.
Maybe because it's more heard of.
Some are claiming it's a double standard, but it's also a double standard how when a guy dates younger, he's a pedo, but when a woman does it, she's 'got options'.
Ehhh, I feel like it's more acceptable for women to date younger guys than it is for men to date younger girls. Women get the whole cougar thing, while guys are more often than not looked at as creeps.
