Why is it such a big deal for a woman to date a guy 10 years younger than her?

[Anonymous]

I don’t see why it’s okay for an older guy and a younger woman to date but when it’s the other way around people feel some type of way about it. Why is that?

People feel "some kind of way" about both.

When it's an older man, they think "ugh, he just wants her tight young body, men are pigs."

When it's an older woman, they think "Really? That's fucking weird. Wonder what's up with that?"

I guess you’re right ab that. But I feel like it’s more looked down up one for the woman to be older

I guess from others perspective - men take a longer time to mature and usually men in that age range (according to your age) are on a different time than you are, meaning possible hoeing around. I don’t think it’s the biggest deal but you are definitely bound to have compatibility issues especially if the guy likes going out and drinking and you are past that part of your life

I get that. And I would usually agree with this. But this is a rare guy that’s actually very mature. I don't know at this point after you’ve met all the wrong ones when you finally meet one that seems right it’s hard not to want to go for it. If you know what I mean. But my only thing is being judged by my family

@asker I will barely go for guys my age because of how immature they are. No offense, I’ll agree with your family. A 25 year old male is going to be way too immature for you

She can try but she will only be a practice object. When the guy is ready he will pick a younger woman to form a family with. She should be happy aslong as it lasted. Since people know it won't last, they see it as a waste.

Nobody in this world will criticise you if you did that. Women today can fo whatever the fuck they want and they will receive support from everywhere. The system as a whole, society, your friends and family and your ten thousand white knights are catering to your vagina 24/7. Men on the other hand get criticised no matter what they do.

[Asker]

So I guess you’ve never met my family who will definitely criticize. I already tried to my mom about it and she was not the biggest cheerleader

[TheFlak38]

Yes I'm sure it's the end of the world. All you have to do is post on your social media "Heeeyyy look at meeee! My family doesn't approoooove!" Your army of white knights will turn the world upside down to make them approve it. Problem solved.

Men get old, women get replaced trope, women hit the wall pretty soon fertility-wise.
