Why do older men harass younger women all the time?

[Anonymous]

Outside? Inside? Almost every young woman has a story of some creepy ass older man coming on to her. Why? Why can’t they be like older women and find someone attractive but not harass them?

[Anonymous]

my theory is that younger women are fertile, and for the older men, their time is running out. for older men, if they don't act now, they won't have a chance to because their biological clock is ticking. it's kind of like when you are at the end of the month, and you want to use up all your data on your cell phone before the end of the billing cycle. while most men are not looking to reproduce with younger women, ultimately, their attraction is going to be based subconsiously on the need to procreate, and you can't really do that with older women. it;s the same reason why young women are not attracted to old men, because it's not generally advised to reproduce with old men to get healthy off spring

[Asker]

So are plenty of older women, it has NOTHING to do with fertility. Any other bullshit excuse you can think of? Cause this one was sad

[Opinion Owner]

where do you get that older women are fertile?

[Asker]

Ah ok you know nothing, we are done here. I hope you don’t have a kid, cause you’ll be one of many moms gaslighting their younger daughters into thinking that old men going after them is ok.

[Opinion Owner]

i never said anything was ok. you asked why old men go after young women, and i told you why

In caveman days an old man would just take any young girl he wanted and have sex with her. Old then was around 30 years old. So it's biological. But it's still weird when you're 12 and a 60 year old man is saying dirty things to you and touching you whenever he can get away with it.

I have a feeling you're just a men-hating troller who is harrassing people almost daily here on GAG with zero-context. I see these posts a lot lately. Yes some old-men do that. Just like a lot of men don't harrass women. But also some women harrass younger men.

[GallopAcrossEurope]

They're aren't as young and handsome as they used to be, but still are attracted to younger women as they always were even before they became old. It's tough to break old habits when you've had them for over 50+ years.

[Asker]

Older women are attracted to younger men as well. When are y'all going to stop that shitty excuse? I don’t like talking to stupid people. Are you going to reply with something that makes sense? Or are you going to continue the excusing of creepy older men?

[GallopAcrossEurope]

For one, you asked WHY so stop whining when someone gives you a response. Two, I wasn't excusing anyone, I was providing a potential explanation. Is lawyer explaining why his client robbed someone an excuse? No, and neither is the explanation I provided. Three, those old men AND women existed long before you were born. They were at some point 20 and 30 years olds too. Your lack ability to understand that they never grew up and out of their preferences is the really stupid part here. You are probably going to end up like one of them.

Haha.. you think older women don't harass younger men? Bless your heart.

[Asker]

Nowhere near the same degree, and you KNOW it. Their interactions are much more consensual.

[BoopBoopBeep]

I've had a stranger grab my junk in an elevator and ask me if this was the right button to go down. I spent 9 years on military installations overseas. The women are just as predatory there as they are in D. C.

[Avicenna]

He's right, plenty of older women sexually harass younger men

[Asker]

@Avicenna it doesn’t matter because it doesn’t happen anywhere near the same rate. Stop trying to gaslight men and women when they bring this topic up.

[BoopBoopBeep]

Soon as you stop trying to categorize older men as harassers/stalkers. We don't all do that. Why do women drown their babies in the bathtub? FAR more women do that than men. Not all of them, sure, so if didn't say why do SOME women drown babies in bathtubs than YOU would be the first one to line up to call me a misogynist and call for my crucifixion.

Why do some men do it? Because they're sketchy... same reason as everything else shite in the world. Because some people just suck. You shouldn't have to ask that.

[Avicenna]

Asker, I'd say it's gaslighting to characterize it "as all the time". And you're pretty desperate not only to gaslight us about the extent of male harassers, but also trying to suppress the fact that women do it too. Why do you hate older men so much?

[sheikalana]

Some men have this obsession with women they could never get a chance with. These men also tend to be addicted to porn and think is normal for them to chase younger women because that’s what they’re used to masturbate to.

[Ashley1993]

And why do you go anonymous everyday with male hating questions with 0 context?

[BoopBoopBeep]

Thank you @Ashley1993

[Ashley1993]

@BoopBoopBeep Welcome!

[strateguy632]

i dont we dont, but maybe some cities has one jerk bothering whoever he sees.

[OddBeMe]

Just shut up and take it.

Jk, it’s terrible. I’m pretty sure it’s only a small minority doing it a-lot.

[Anonymous]

Well it has happened to me once or twice, but "all the time"? Not so much.

[deus_ex_sisyphus]

Because men are told culturally that they have to be the ones to start off the initial encounter in the courtship process. Just tell them you're not interested or give them a fake number.

[Asker]

But y’all do that to women that are NOT interested in y'all all the time. Like obviously we’re not going to be into a guy twice our age. No there is no excuse stop the harassment

[deus_ex_sisyphus]

I think a lot of guys learn from experience that dating becomes a numbers game. You, the next girl, and the girl afterwards might not be interested, but the 4th girl was. Thats enough for most men to initiate a conversation. Are you saying they are stalking you and constantly soliciting your attention, on more than a few occasions?

[Asker]

Dating is a numbers game to losers. Enough said

[deus_ex_sisyphus]

Many people have baggage hidden from sight. You dont know for instance if the girl you approach just got over a bad breakup and the timing was off. You discover those after the fact. Consider yourself lucky to even get people approaching you - these types of posts are what usually deter the "good men" from approaching women.

[rigmarole]

Guys what? Women do the same thing to men.

[normalice]

Because no one will stop them.

[Zestyassmf1997]

Probably grew up with different social norms.

[Cheerfull009]

I am 25, i never harass young girls

[jimmy2]

They are horny

[Asker]

You don’t get to harass women because of that. This is why everyone shames men now
