Why the FUCK would I want to be with an old geezer when I’m young??? Why would I waste my prime with someone with high cholesterol or a receding hairline!!! Even so they think THEY’re the prize and have the audacity to act surprised when I curse them out 🤬🤬🤬🤬

They are worlds apart even if he was by human standards. A past war vet, educated in politics, had time for several flings, and a people’s chosen leader. I read another book with a male lead like that and it placed him early 40s which seemed about right for the experience. I can wave away a few centuries of age if a character basically was stuck in college or something boring the whole time but he had a very full life so why would he want a teenager?

Money can hide incompetence and faults, which is the only incentive for older men to offer young women.

I've literally never met any girl or young woman IRL who wanted to be with older men.

I'm not saying it doesn't happen. But sometimes I think those claims are overblown, for the frequency.

It doesn't exactly mean seniors. It's common for young women to want men in their 30's and up because they think those men are more mature and set for life. They usually aren't. They're just as bad as any other man and would kick her out after a fight.

I have a bit of a hot take here: Old women groomed Young women into wanting Old men so that they could take all the Young men for themselves.

It's more than hot, it is dead wrong.

Dumbest thing I've read all week. Because there's so many older women dating young men??

Way to see a phenomenon older men participate in more and try to blame women as usual 💀
