In some backward sections of society that may be the prevailing view but I really do not think that it is necessarily true throughout the society.

Yeah shouldn't be that way. I guess the man having the more money than the younger woman aspect makes it "ok".

Depends on who you ask, I suppose. In some corners men are starting to be seen as inherent predators, so they still see older women dating men as more socially acceptable by their standards.

They are labeled as cougars which is totally unfair. It is a made up label by society.

cause typically, men like younger girls and younger girls like older men. so men liking older women and women liking younger men are ridiculed.

  Yes but I’ve dated younger guys too. Anybody should be able to date anybody if they like each other as long as it’s not an adult getting sexual with a minor.

Leaving the dating scene was the best life's decision I ever made. For me that's no longer debatable since it's not even an issue anymore.

What are you talking about men who do that are called creeps. Women get praised for not letting age stop them from having sex.

Women have absolutely no concept of long term strategy. They do what gets them what they want now.

  My former co-worker is married to a guy at least 15 years younger, and I never heard anyone comment about it. My sister is noticeably older than her husband, and there aren't a lot of comments. Once she was mistaken for his mother, but they just laughed it off.
