In the age of female empowerment, can you please tell me when my daughters will be old enough to make their own dating decisions? I didn't know they were such mental simpletons that they are prey to white collar successful men well into their 20s.

The woman speaking to the power imbalance stated it well.

NP. You didn't answer the pp's question. At what age may a grown woman make her own decision on who she will date?

Jealous/insecure guys are worse than jealous/insecure women.

I understand the point being made. Think about brain development. For all the amazing things we can learn early on we’re still reaching emotional maturity in our mid 20s. Some will be ready before then and some won’t. There’s no hard and fast rule on age but realistically not everyone has it together at 24. I’m not saying anything other than early 20s are closer to childhood than adulthood, at least in comparison to a 35-year-old. It doesn’t have to be your opinion, and certainly it’s something for us each to figure out on our own.

Many of my New England SLAC college classmates married shortly after graduation. A mid-20s medical student is more than old enough to make her own dating decisions. Stop with your retrograde characterization of grown women as easily swindled dainty simpletons. It's disgusting.

Men married to younger women live longer.

The President is 22 years older than his wife. Three past presidents had even bigger age differences with their wives, and JFK was 12 years older than his wife. Warren Harding and Richard Nixon were younger than their wives.

The president of France has a wife who is 26 years older than he is. Iccckkk, right?

Padma Lakshmi (who is very left-wing) routinely dates and has married men 25 or 30 or more years older than she is--is she gross?

Hugh Hefner (a rich liberal) had a wife who was 66 years younger than he was. Alec Baldwin (rich liberal) married a woman 36 years younger than he is. Is he a creep? Harrison Ford's wife (Calista Flockhart) is 22 years younger. Steve Martin's wife is 36 years younger, Michael Douglas's wife is 26 years younger, John Cleese's wife is 31 years younger, and Humphrey Bogart's wife was 25 years younger. All bad guys, right?

Dating women his own age would be emotional baggage, divorcées, single mothers and spinsters--and IVF babies. Why would a high-status male put up with that?

I could be wrong, but aren’t 35 and 24 both considered millennials?

When folks heard she was still in med school, the word creep was sarcastically used. If he wants children, it would seem pragmatic for him to court women in that age range when you factor in 1-2 years for engagement and wedding.
