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.

    Weird post, but even weirder replies from you OP. You seem to have a direct connection to this subject and I’m leaving towards the idea that you’ve been called a creep a few times.

      What’s weird about this post? I’m pointing out the double standards.

        I have seen way more judgement about women dating younger men, even just a few years younger.
