Talk about a rhetorical thread topic! You'd love to believe that the "negativity" you say you've received is out of jealousy. You ain't foolin' me none. LOL.
I'm sorry, but I have no problem with your dating someone younger. I'm sure that will be terribly disappointing to you.
Let ya in on a little secret that I've told only a couple of people in IRL: I've been seeing a younger guy for a couple of years, though this is the first time I've mentioned it on here. Because, you see, I haven't felt a need to mention it, and I certainly haven't felt the need or desire to begin a thread over it. Some men, in comparison (ahem) can't WAIT to tell as many people as possible, as quickly as possible. All to make themselves look good and to -- ideally -- make women "jealous."
Men seem to think they're the only ones who often find younger women/men more attractive, and who feel more compatible with younger partners. Can we clear up this misconception? I know what Im saying doesn't fit the standard relationships subforum narrative, but there it is.
I agree. The OkCupid data supports what you're saying.
Uh dude, you KNOW the reactions were because you bought this girl a freakin' CAR (which you didn't even bother to do with your own children) and YOU were wondering whether she was using you. That was LITERALLY what you named your thread.
Yet now you faux-dumbly start another thread asking whether women are jealous? When men equally were horrified? And YOUNG women? But now you are turning around and attacking "older" women for your own pleasure and ego, when they didn't do a thing to cause your situation?
What a phony. Pushing buttons. Good luck and you get what you get, but you get no more help from me. I am not a fan of these sorts of games. I feel sorry for you but not sorry enough to play along.
I accept that men want to date younger, on okcupid most of the men my age list that they are looking for women up to a decade younger up to just a year or two older or not their age at all.Men are attracted to youth and beauty,I think that it's very natural.I don't really feel upset over it because I have a strong inner life,alot of character and self value so that my happiness doesn't rest on being young and beautiful,or getting the attention of men.

Some women are attracted to youth and beauty, too.

It makes him feel better to think that women his own age are clutching their pearls at his girlfriend's age, when he really should be getting his own insecurities about his relationship in order.
Hey broh. You're just humble bragging broh. Old women date young men too and don't talk about it. Don't be so insecure. That's the real issue here broh! Women really don't care. I mean they say the young ones who date older gentlemen are mentally ill or unattractive, but they really don't care broh!

It's not a misconception. It's the norm. You're the outlier.
I wouldn't call it jealousy. I might not view a generational difference in age positively, but any negative assumptions I have are more likely to be focused on the woman.... Gold digger, daddy issues, etc. Probably not even that to an extreme degree if the man has taken care of himself and looks relatively youthful. If the guy looks his age or older, is obese, etc, then I am apt to think she's taking him for a ride.
Now, if I see some obviously older dude with a backwards baseball cap and other accoutrements that suggest he is trying too hard to fit in with the young crowd, then I might think he has some issues of his own with growing old gracefully and a younger woman is just an ego trip.
But a couple that is reasonably matched in terms of attractiveness and age-appropriate clothing, I probably wouldn't pay too much attention.

One post proving the point that some people DO opinionate according to their own biases.
Post #29 being one more. Probably more but not going back to look
