You seem unfamiliar with Tinder-era recreational sex among 20-somethings. Hannah Rosin wrote about hook-up culture among women MBA students.

Professional students understandably choose temporary relationships because they plan to move for careers. But plenty of men and women waste their twenties aimlessly partying or socializing. There are Bohemian artists and hippies and "failures to launch" with no immediate goals of marriage and children. The average age of marriage in DC is around 30! So these young women hook-up with a bunch of fun young guys who don't want relationships either. Then they appreciate a cool older man who treats them well. These women routinely reject young nerds who seek relationships. There are worse fates than dating an older man.

Pffft she has agency, she has choices, if she stays with the guy then that's 100% on her.

This what makes the 50+year-old psychiatrist's employee so smart. She saw he could provide her professional opportunities and networking beyond what a 23-year-old would normally attain. When she recognized that he felt unappreciated, she made her move. She gets fun times now and a launching pad to prominence in her field. Smart.

What I hate is the lying. Fine you fund someone who wants what you want? Great. Just don't lie about it. This goes for same age men and women too

This is me and the women I date. They don't want to think about marriage until they're 30 and they say they I'm fun and treat them better than guys their own age. I had my hard broken by a woman exactly my age dating after divorce, so fun 2-6 month relationships where they eventually move on from me fits me perfectly.

Ew. UMC women are so conniving and gross.

This is much worse than when men use women for a one-night stand. At least in that case, it’s just the biology of having 20 times more testosterone flowing through his system than women do—and the correspondingly higher sex drive.

UMC women will form an intimate bond with someone for two years to extract every ounce of value they can from him—and then move on and repeat the process with a “higher-value” man.

Sounds like a win-win scenario tbh.

But, at 40 I didn't feel the same about men in their 60s, and now in my 50s, I definitely don't feel the same about men in their 70s.

40 yr old men can be hot to a 20 year old, but 55 and beyond is definitely grandpa territory. You qualify for the senior specials.


Because men reach a peak. A man in his 40s isn't going to become that much more sophisticated in his 60s. But a man in his 20s is a lot less sophisticated than a man in his 40s (usually). That is where there's big room for growth.

Yes, young men don't have their shit together. An older man will pick her up, pay for parking, have reservations, and everything goes smoothly, usually ending up at his clean, comfortable place. A significant fraction of young women are attracted to fit older men.


Netflix recently added Sex in the City so I've been slowing making my way through the seasons. You can totally see it in how they portray Big or Richard (the hotelier Samantha dated). Everything is taken care of -- reservations set, driver and car waiting outside, etc. I can see why young women would like that.

39 yr old dating a 57 yr old he seems really immature. It's bizarre to me. I'm going to end it.

People are trying to stay out of it and let them deal with it. It seems weird because a 23-year-old is supposed to still be an adolescent, and you would think a psychiatrist in particular would understand this. But the heart wants what the heart wants.


The kids are going to hate this.

Dang I am 40 and pass for 20 something. My 36 yr old boyfriend looks older than me. I hesitated dating him but I would in no way date a wrinkly 50 or 60 yrs old that looks like my dad. All that screams daddy issues to me

Old men who haven't matured are single for a reason. Anyway their dong probably was in everything at that age.
