I now see why women 35-50 get so angry about age gap relationships.
Itโs because if youโre an attractive, fit, successful man 40-50, young women 20-28 are in fact very drawn to you. Of course women older than that want to make it immoral! Those younger women are huge competition for them, especially if theyโve allowed themselves to get very obese (most of them), unattractive, and with zero libido. In other words, it has nothing to do with protection from harm and everything to do with protection from competition.
When Iโm out in public without my partner these days, hoo boy, Iโd be spoiled for choice if I cared. And itโs not usually older women making eyes at me; itโs invariably women 20-28 or so. (Sometimes younger, but I donโt pay them any attention at all.)
So, nothing to do with morality and everything to do with it sucks to be an older woman who has completely let herself go, and youโve got younger hotties nipping at your heels and wanting your husband.
