Condemn a man for marrying a young woman, but its Ok for Hollywood celebrities? Sounds like a double standard to me. Plus, if he's an ex, why does the OP care?

You were too young for him, and so is she, even moreso. Find someone in your city who is age appropriate (your age or within two years or so, but no more than four) and read up on the stories of may-december relationships that didn't work. These stories will console you and open your eyes. Consider obtaining psychological guidance regarding your relationship with your father and "daddy issues."

It's true, it's the most natural thing for a man to want to get with a younger woman. As for being afraid to say it, I never understood that. Who cares what older women think about that? If you're not dating them, it doesn't matter.

This just in..."new" poster (whose forum participation thus far only occurs in threads that use the terms "manosphere" and the like, and use "feminist" as a putdown) resurrects years-old thread for the purpose of bashing women.

Can treatises on "hypergamy," etc. Be far behind?

Yeah, we have an invasion. It's like a stampede of middle-aged single men with no prospects talking down to women and engaging in wishful thinking. Equal parts funny and sad.

Necromancy aside, at 49, I can honestly say that I'd PREFER some of these old jerks go chase younger women, instead of looking to women like me to be their nurse, purse, and maid. Go! Shoo! I don't have time for your aches and pains and whining about my not wanting to cook. I'm busy in the cabana.

Aww, honey, I'm sorry. That's got to sting.

Look, I have no evidence for this but it's a possibility: he dated you; you were already more than a decade younger than he was. Then he made up some stupid fake excuse to create arguments and ultimately split the two of you up and went even younger. Though the younger thing could be a coincidence, OTOH, maybe he really is just that insecure and needed a very, very young woman compared to his own age. In which case, well...he's cheating himself.

It's okay. People break up for all kinds of reasons and if this guy really does require the fountain of youth on his arm just to face himself in the morning then you'd ultimately be dumped anyway and let's be honest, so will this woman, ultimately, because she'll age too. You may have dodged a bullet. Try to see things in perspective...it wasn't meant to be no matter what his actual motivation was. Hang in there...someone better is around the corner.

Gotta speak for the middle aged men. I really think a lot of these guys are younger, but are buying into some sort of martini swilling 1950s or 60s vision of what it means to be a "man of substance". They're buying this fantasy because young women don't like them now, but will later when they have a few bucks and a few things figured out, at which point the young women will be old women and not their concern.


And also, it's really offensive crap to some of the men here, (EDIT to ADD) it being the idea that some twit speaks for the rest of us, and to the extent that most men and women like young, attractive bodies, there's no need to beat people over the head with that. I'd like to look like I did at 21, when I looked pretty damned good but thought otherwise, but that's another story. Anyway, this is an invasion of small minded and mean spirited topics that do no one any good.
