Do you think there's still stigma around older women younger man relationships today?

[Rockstarrrrr]

They say people are way more used to it now... Do you feel like it or notice it? If you're a man or a woman in a relationship like that... Is that true or nothing really changed?

I dont think so. Surprisingly, any of those I've seen in my personal life were very mature relationships as well. My brother in law is 8 years younger than my sister, but he's been basically a 30 year old since he was 17 lol. He stepped in and became a dad for her two kids who's father walked out on them. Should have heard the speech her elders gave at their wedding (':

My old coworker went out with one of his college professors and now they're married with two kids. Been together for about 7 years I think and she's 12 years older than him

Oldest** I don't know how that became elders lol

[Rockstarrrrr]

Yeah I've noticed that too... They're usually really steady relationships

[FilmGuy93]

No. Women tend to be turned off by younger men though. Let's not pretend the issue here is "society." The problem is that women tend to want men who bring them a sense of stability.

[Rockstarrrrr]

Okay but I was asking how does society act towards couples like that..

[FilmGuy93]

probably with a slight sense of pity for the man. People basically don't care though.

[Rockstarrrrr]

Really? When people see a couple like that they feet pity for the guy? Mmmm

[FilmGuy93]

I guess they see it as emasculating?

[Rockstarrrrr]

emasculating? lol that far? You mean because it's usually the older person who's leading the relationship so when it's the woman that means it's a female led relationship? Okay I can understand that

[FilmGuy93]

Yeah, I mean... that's the kind of thing other people have communicated to me when they see couples like that.

[Rockstarrrrr]

I see

[MrsTurkleton]

My mum’s boyfriend is quite a bit younger than her.

It works for them. It doesn’t seem weird.

I think it’s a little more accepted now, I think.

[fonduegirl]

Oh yeah definitely. Age gap relationships are taboo themselves, and society hates women, so that doubles it.

[Rockstarrrrr]

Age gap relationships are cool as long as it's a normal age difference tho...

[ElementoP]

My girlfriend is 7 years older than me and I don't notice any stigma

Or maybe you mean way older. I don't know about that one

[Rockstarrrrr]

Really? People don't make it weird? That's cool

[ElementoP]

No, not that I've noticed anyway

[Rockstarrrrr]

👍👍

[mr4435669]

I'm young and I'm disgusted by women looking for young men.

[Rockstarrrrr]

That's okay we all have our point of view

[luckygirlhot]

Yes there is it’s very unfortunate that it’s still the case, we’re living 2022 ffs

[Rockstarrrrr]

I agree

[sheikalana]

It never bothered me. Most women in my family married younger men including my mom.

[Guy13]

Yes there are

[In_Trance]

nope
