I don’t believe it’s creepy for two consenting adults with a large age gap to date. If a 25 year old woman dates a 50 year old man, I don’t think it’s creepy. It’s none of my business. I don’t judge them.

A man who dates younger women is called “creepy.” A woman who dates younger men is called a cougar. Leonardo DiCaprio was judged harshly for dating a 19 year old woman. Most older women are not judged for dating younger men.

Sometimes it’s hard to find a partner of the same age. For example, if a man divorces at 50, it would be hard to find a 50 year old woman. He would have to date someone younger.

The double standard is that men get judged harshly. Society has to change it’s attitude.

    For example, if a man divorces at 50, it would be hard to find a 50 year old woman.

    Why? Do women tend to die at 49?

    Obviously 50 year olds are in the dating pool. The man is one of them.

    Women tend to live longer, right? Especially when they’re unmarried, so you’d think it’d be even easier for a divorced 50 year old to find an older partner.
