Why do people love antagonizing older man dating younger women?

cause people see men as stronger

So the man is the antagonist/creep, but of an older woman has a relationship with a younger man she is a cougar or just a troublemaker

It seems to be a double standards thing, an older man can date a younger woman and not many people have a problem with it providing she’s legal, but if an older woman dates a younger man she’s considered a tart or desperate. As long as the age gap isn’t too significant it shouldn’t be a problem imo.

Just prejudice and nothing else.

Kpop fans call 29 years olds who actually look like 29 year olds young as if every other 29 year old looks like their grandma

Sorry I thought i was in the kpop section but a lot of people still think like that. I don’t get why people usually get so invested into other people’s relationships when they are fully legal and functional

I have no problems if both parties are consenting adults but i think the issue most people have is more of a power imbalance within the relationship as oppose to mere age...

My parents have a huge age gap and there was never a problem regarding the age.

I had a girlfriend who was way younger then me and it worked but at the moment I would only some near my age, doesn't matter if she is older or younger, because I can't connect with them if the age gap is to big

Older men and younger women have been the trend since the dawn of time.

It's way past time for the critics to get over themselves.

right

i have a bf who is slight older then me in a couple of years. i cant date anyone if the age gap is to be (for ex: 5-7 age gap)

Lol.

The question is why doesn’t everyone antagonize it. Because otherwise it wouldn’t be so normalized.

People calling EXO members as old will forever be inconceivable for me.

Power Balance is the reason, OP.

Women get the same sht (if not even worse sht, when it comes to relationships, women get the worst most of time).

Just jealousy. Boys want to be that older man, girls want to be that younger woman.

I dislike it because it's such a stereotype. Seems like most women like older men. I'm the other way around. I like men in their early 20s. And I'm tired of getting told it's weird and that I should go for older men instead.

don't know.

it's ironic, though, how teenage girls can like older men to the point where they'll infantilize them and write weird sexual fan-fictions about them, but two fully consenting adults that have a wider age gap than the average is unacceptable for some people.

my girls, liking a 40+ year old is fine and normal nowadays. i can't say i don't find ***** ****** and ***** ***** hot. but at least don't do it while accusing a grown man of being a groomer for liking a grown woman.

I'm one of the women who personally prefer older men than at my age or younger (I'm 25). I can find them handsome, but don't feel attracted to them or want to start a relationship at all.
