    There’s a social slant.

    Older female to younger male = men saying YAY

    Older male to younger female = gross, ewwww

    There is a societal shift happening right now where younger women want to date older men though. I’m assuming it’s because they find people their age toxic, despicable, and unpredictable. The fact you have to be on dating apps doesn’t help.

    The fetishists for older women from a younger male standpoint probably peaked in the 00’s. Males wanted a more knowledgeable and sexually experimental woman they couldn’t find in their age group (the idea at least). Now…these dudes are fucking insane and can’t land a date. I understand why nobody wants to date them.

    Just find someone you like being with and stop worrying about the rest. Pay close attention to the red or green flags, and if things are fine, stop worrying about it. Don’t let other people dictate your happiness.
