There’s a social slant.

Older female to younger male = men

Older male to younger female = gross

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 men from a younger male standpoint probably peaked in the 00’s. Males wanted a more knowledgeable and sexually experimental women (the idea at least). Now…these dudes are fucking insane.

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.
