You see a woman, 22 years old, going out with a guy over 60 - and it's kind of natural. But if it happens in the opposite direction everyone says, 'What is going on there?'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A woman going out with a younger man feels like the last taboo.
What older men and younger women have in common is they are both suffering from different insecurities. She is looking for someone to make her feel safe, and he is looking for someone who doesn't answer back and is a trophy.
When I see a woman who looks her age, she's radiating something, and it's life.
Up until age 40, most men are just not as mature as women. So, it makes sense that a lot of women date up in age a bit.
In my experience, there is a very good reason why a good-looking young woman of around 20 is willing to go out with a man over 15 years her senior - she's nuts.
The older you get, the more you realize you're drifting toward a direction, and sometimes your significant other drifts into an opposite direction. You can't blame anybody for it.
The thing is, when you see your old friends, you come face to face with yourself. I run into someone I've known for 40 or 50 years, and they're old. And I suddenly realize I'm old. It comes as an enormous shock to me.
I date older men, and I date younger men. I have no rules about that.
I couldn't comprehend a 35-year-old woman gravitating toward a 70-year-old man.
A man's as old as he's feeling. A woman as old as she looks.
