It's gatekeeping by unwanted women. They don't like the power reversal that comes with turning 30 and their bodyclock ticking.

I'm 37 and my last 4 tinder dates were between 22 and 27, my new girlfriend is 26. Don't overthink it.

I wonder why the only girls you can date are ones with comparatively less life experience or social or financial status, thus making them susceptible to ending up in relationships where there's a distinct power imbalance.

The woman regardless of age still controls access to sex, so it balances out.

Bet if you knew younger women often want to be housewives and looked after it would blow your little mind.

My ex wife was as ambitious as I am, didn't need to be looked after, you'd think it was equal except we only had sex when she wanted.

It's not even about the power imbalance or whatever, I think whoever gives less of a shit about the other person has more power in most dating situations, not including DA situations

The less life experience and social skills is the big annoyance for me. People forget and take for granted the subtle social skills they're using when interacting with people their own age, which is a good thing

When I've dated younger people I've constantly been irritated and confused at the immature actions, opinions and social behaviour on display. And the self awareness they've yet to fully develop(which leads to frustrating hypocrisy, which really, really irks me)

When dating people my age, there's this just higher levels of respect, consistency understanding and fairness happening with far less arguments or the need to iron out huge problems. and even if it doesn't work out, I'm far less hurt and bothered by the whole thing

I'm speaking generally of course

This fundamentally makes no sense, men are always the more powerful party in a hetero relationship unless they're an absolute wet noodle. Only exception to this is a poor man dating a rich woman, which does not occur

I've dated girls with more money than me. As long as I don't need them to actively support me financially I don't see the issue. Not like I can't afford my own food and rent

Also, if a guy likes/needs the girl more than she likes/needs him, the girl will have more power. And vice versa. Because they won't be as worried about screwing it up etc

Unless by power you literally mean physical strength

I suppose, but a 25 year old woman? No woman that age is a newcomer to dating, they aren't going to be needy to the point where a man who's 35 is dictating the relationship and has her trapped somehow.

Because he is incredibly famous and rich so his pool of options and pull is MUCH larger than even the average successful man and most people in general are jealous and spiteful by nature. Even at his age mid 20s women are still fair game because smart people can't accuse him of going after naive girls fresh out of high school.

I agree with that, I disagreed with you saying men have inherent power in hetero relationship. I've felt more power when I was less invested and "settling", and less power when I felt I was "reaching". And it's pretty much that simple imo

By "need" I simply mean, care about the other person way more and will be more hurt by a breakup. Maybe need was the wrong word

I thought everyone here knew this, I guess not.

The modern dating dynamic is completely driven by women, this is due to the oversaturation of men and men being less picky. This means women have a deeper pool to pick from and can do less by leveraging their looks, youth and demand to get a man who offers more. Women on tinder openly say they want to be cared for, or want a sugar daddy, and don't know what they want but they know men will still swipe right. Thats all fine by me, I have all my shit together and if she causes problems then we part and move on.

All relationships are transactional, every one. That means an A-lister with millions like Leonardo can date anyone over 18, and it doesn't matter to them what his age is.

This is true.

There's women who have seething hatred over the centuries old fact that the majority of wealthy successful men gravitate towards younger partners around 18-25 (the wealthier and higher sexual market value he has with women, the HIGHER chance he will aim for younger partners, period). Because they can. Women will jump into a wealthy successful man's boat. The more exceptional partners he has access to, the LESS likely he is to ever settle down and get married. This basically bars women of higher age from snagging that sweet honeypot either as a wife or divorcee (a pot they were not entitled to in the first place). And they HATE this fact.

There's also men who typically lack success and similar privileges that get bent of shape hearing another man is pulling off an attractive arrangement that they can't. This is especially true when said men are either single or in unhappy relationships themselves. Outside of unlikely opportunities for sabotage, these men will turn to shaming tactics similar to the angry women. It's all they really can do.

And it's funny because both these groups could have more peace of mind by simply aiming for other partners who are not these elite men. The bitter women could settle down with regular middle class men (of which there is no shortage). And the bitter men could just buck the fuck up, find a great girlfriend and focus on their own relationship (again, plenty of eligible women looking for partners too, they're not all golddiggers).

People still salty over Leonardo Dicaprio at nearly 50 dating women half his age really are either jealous, sexist, or both. They completely overlook the fact that these young women have their own agency and make their own decisions. They are choosing to date Dicaprio, enjoying his resources and status. Instead the critics only throw shade at Dicapio and infantilize the women he dates (sexism on both counts).

It often really does come down to a situation of petty jealousy, as funny and predictable as that is.

The thing you guys seem to be missing is, women don't date down. If you even managed to nab one, odds are you're the breadwinner and she has more to lose by leaving (barring divorce). This is true whether your age gap is 20 years or 0 years.
