[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the ick factor is in proportion to age difference. My Bil increasingly has dated younger and younger women. His current gf is 20ish and he is nearing 40. I remember what being 20 was like and there is such an extreme power imbalance here. I feel the ick factor on her part too but I feel it much more strongly on him because he is so much older and should know better. It grosses me out and I avoid him as far as I can without making things awkward. I think he is emotionally messed up and is [b]attracted to these young women for their youth and beauty. T[/b]he women are naive and he historically always finds something wrong with their character without seeming to have much desire to look at himself. [/quote]Yeah, it's terrible to want those things in a woman.[/quote]

No, it’s not terrible to value those things but you are taking the sentence out of context.

Do you have a daughter or niece? Can you imagine her coming home at 19/20 and explaining she has a 40 year old boyfriend. There isn’t a part of you that isn’t going to go “what’s up with that!?”. The reality is that 99% of men in that dynamic are not seeking to be honorable in their relationship with that young woman. That is a scummy component. [/quote]OMG, it took 9 pages for the, what-about-your-daughter lady to show up.  You are slacking.[/quote]

I’m usually the the what about your daughter/niece lady, and I didn’t write the above.  I admit I have been slacking off and will do better (work situation permitting).

So……what about your daughter/niece?  LOL.  [/quote]
