[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women often feel that they are only valued for their beauty. We often equate youth with beauty. I think some men are really into this idea and speak in a way that is disrespectful to women their age or older. They fetishize youth in their partners and dismiss all women over a certain age as ugly or gross. It’s understandable that these women would then be offended.

Even as a young woman I was grossed out by the whole “trade your 40 y/o wife in for two 20 y/os haha” joke. I think it perpetuates a tired and cruel idea that a woman’s worth is derived only from her beauty and that beauty can only exist for young women. I don’t think that all men who date younger women believe this but there is a loud and vocal group that does. I understand why they bother women of any age. [/quote]

I heard the “trade their wife in for a new model” jokes when I was in elementary school and even back then I knew enough that it made me furious. [/quote]

Why? The new model from all I've seen is only interested in getting the lifestyle the fast way. In most situations they care little for the old fossil. One of my family members dumped his wife of 25 years. It lasted an entire 5 years until she died. (he didn't see that one), and he tried to go back to his ex which didn't happen. It impacted his money, and 2 of his kids never spoke to him again.
