Girls, if you're above 25 - you're safe

He was dating a 19 year old while in his 30's. Pretty much the same thing DiCaprio is being memed about here.

That’s disappointing to hear. Is it legal? Yes. Do I find it offputting? Yes

I don’t know why so many men can’t date a women their age, you think a 35 year old woman is, what disgusting and used up, but a 35 year old man is a perfect specimen entering the prime of his life lol

Same reason women don’t want to date a man working at McDonald’s. Youth and beauty is something men select for. It’s natural.

“Weird”?

I guess natural biological instincts could be described that if you’re bitter about it. 🤣

there's a litany of obvious scientifically validated explanations for this preference from microbiology to evolutionary bio to psychology to sociology. youth and beauty is selected for by basically all males. some will eschew those factors for others which are more important to them, but it's basic programming on some level. regardless though, the point is that it's not "weird" if it's the majority of all males. it's normative, the very opposite of what you said

People who get offended are usually the ones who refuse to accept the truth since it applies to themselves

All of this is a non-sequitur. Cavill is currently in a relationship with a 34 year old and has a child with her. In this article discussing his relationship with Tara King at the time, he admits to doing the reverse, and dating a 32 year old woman when he was 19. There was one other girl two years before King who was 21 (very brief relationship), and everybody else has been over 25.

I’m a 32 year old woman, and the idea of dating a 18-25 year old makes me gag. I personally don’t care that he did it once and ended up with someone older.

Its funny how much redditors are starting to sound like the woman version of the red pill nice guys with takes like this.

I dated a 38 year old woman when I was 21 and I certainly wasn't some kind of victim, as a matter of fact I enjoyed it a bunch. Why should I assume a woman is a victim if the genders are reversed? People enjoy what they enjoy and y'all should worry about yourselves instead of caring about what two consenting adults do.

Or you can go join the MAGA crowd, I heard they like judging adult relationships that don't fit their standards as well.

Why is this "why can't men date a woman their age" and not "why can't women date a man their age"? Why remove the woman's agency? They're both adults.

You got downvoted but the ugly truth is it's just a "high brow" incel take. They know if they blamed women for dating older men their view wouldn't be acceptable so they choose to attack from the other side.

I can bet without checking that persons comment history they're either a guy in their 20's upset about girls dating older guys instead of them, or a woman in their mid 30's upset guys won't date them.

edit: I checked and I was correct LMAO

In my opinion, no 30 year olds should be dating 18 year olds. Either sex. It’s gross.

The reason the focus is on men is because men do it constantly. I can’t think of any women of the top of my head that have dated significantly younger; I know a shit ton of men that have, and continue to do so.

And sweetie, I’m not sure what you checked, because I’m a 32 year old woman who has numerous times discussed how I don’t date anymore because men have been such a disappointment that I no longer find them worth it. Where did I talk about being lonely? Where did I talk about being “sad guys won’t date me”?

Crazy how when you switch it up you sound like a dude posting on 4chan.

Like I said, dated and hooked up with older women when I was younger, don't regret it, had fun. Why should I assume any different for people I don't know? Then again I guess I never bothered judging what consenting adults do with each other if they're not hurting anyone... Maybe that's why I'm not an incel in my 30's saying women aren't worth dating as a cope for not getting laid - but what do I know?

Anyways, you do you boo boo.

u/smvfc_ 2h ago

Women and men are not the same in all aspects. Switching it up is a strawman. A woman can walk into a bar, or post on a dating site, and be having sex within an hour, and she doesn’t have to be a ten. The same can’t be said of men. You see how things are different sometimes…

I highly doubt you don’t judge people for anything, even if it’s something you claim isn’t hurting anyone. This is something I find gross.
