Why are women so triggered about men dating younger?

It’s equivalent to bow a lot of men marry a foreign woman who will be subservient to them- cook for them, don’t talk back.

You could not be more wrong. This is one of the dumber copes that older women claim.

The younger, hotter person always has more power in the relationship.

Even one of the good guy simps above confirmed this when he says he tries to date older women who would be out of his league if they were the same age or younger.

No. A younger hotter person who is dating an older person is damaged. If they weren’t damaged, they would’ve found a wealthy guy, their own age.

That is one reason women hate to see old men dating young women, cause we all know that was our damaged friend and we all know she’s gonna get used and abused

Because honestly, I think men are largely attracted to looks. It's depressing to accomplish so much only to realize that what men find most attractive is physical beauty-- and probably someone who doesn't challenge them or carry any baggage.
For me, I like interesting, complex, successful men who are more seasoned, but it's not mutual.
Women become "invisible' to men after a certain age, no matter their accomplishments, intellect or conversation--and if you haven't experienced, it just wait for it.

Does the young, hot woman without a visa and greencard have power?

My DH and I joke that "no, he's not going to find a young trophy because who's going to take care of him when he has his heart attack, and think about how much time he would need to spend at the gym, and what are they going to talk about, and she's not going to be into the CPAP mask that he has to wear to bed every night, and she'll expect him to go to the theater when he would rather watch football, and she'll take everything he owns, after I've already taken half in the divorce proceedings..." truly it's a joke because DH loves me and he's smart about what he wants the rest of his life to look like.

This is such garbage. Newsflash - *everyone* is superficial. Not you, of course. You just want “successful” men.

Why do you want anyone who doesn’t want you? Sure it would be fun (albeit superficial, ahem) to be to have hundreds of suitors, but is it really “depressing” not to?

For example I have gone into the office unshaven looking like I just slept at the bar before and honestly I didn't care. I have never seen my boss without makeup. That tells you all you need to know.

Women are more successful in earnings? So I guess the pay gap whining can stop now

I am not insecure about age, looks or beauty. Age 47. Men constantly pay me attention even at my age. They assume women are flattered—I find it nauseating. I hope in my 50s it will stop.

The men who date much younger women tend to believe that older women their age are "triggered". Why do they want to think that way? Maybe because their first wives kicked their lazy a...s? Compensatory mechanism of some sort...

Those of us in our 40-50s who divorced cheating husbands are living a happy and full life, particular if the woman is well paid and there is no need to look for experiences/funding from a man

Right. Because you are so much smarter and interesting than someone younger.

Unlikely.

It's not an intelligence difference, it's an experiential and generational difference. You wouldn't enjoy it either if you weren't getting laid.

Watching this happen right now with an insecure woman who doesn’t know her worth. Excited as hell to be wife #2 to a man who couldn’t keep the respect of his first one.

It's not good for kids to have fathers that much older (for many reasons, including genetics). It's not good for the women who end up being widowed in their 50s. But mostly it's just not a good thing 1/2 of the population feels that their value as a person is so tied to something essentially meaningless.

We like to think that our value on the dating market should not be so heavily weighted in favor of something trivial.

I am surprised that conservatives don't call this out more often or talk about this. The fact that families in general suffer when there's such a disparity in ages, and that there are millions of older women who are all alone because they married old men. It benefits rich older men to marry young women but the whole female population pays a price when this becomes common.

Welcome to the world of men under 6 feet tall.

No, the 6 foot rule is imaginary. It only exists in the heads of men who want to believe their lack of success is due to their height when really it's other reasons. Look around, you'll see lots of short men-- sometimes very short-- successfully dating or married.

So is men's preference for younger women also imaginary?

It's a combo of mostly this PLUS what another poster said. As younger women, we've all been on the receiving end of the older man coming on to us. We know the power imbalance there. So, yeah, it's largely pretty gross to me. I wouldn't say "triggered" as I could not give a single F if a man is not interested in me (I'm married so it is also irrelevant to me).
