Why does it trigger people, especially women, so bad when older men have sex with young women?

From my experience, some men, and a lot of women seem to handle it really badly if an older man dates or sleeps with a younger woman.

For example I am 52 and have a 22 year old Fwb. This really triggers women and they hate a lot, say lot nonsense and make excuses. Interestingly they tend to support older women with young men.

So what's their deal?

Is it past negative experiences? That's understandable, but it seems more of some kind of insecurity coming from older women and prejudice coming from younger women. Especially considering how hypocritical lot of them are.

For men who hate I can see the same points as for women plus they are jealous of the older man.

The only women who have issues with older men having sex with younger women, are women who are not included in any of that action.

@swirlie some really hate it go apeshit on me. You can see on my past posts, it's even worse on Facebook.

Do they really? That's dumb! I know very few women my own age who date men who are of equal age or younger than them, myself included.

What's not to support?

If older men didn't prefer younger women, then I'd be out of luck, right?

@swirlie yeah

There's your answer! You don't need to care about what other men think, nor should you give a dam what women think. Just do what YOU think is right for YOU!

@swirlie it's still nice to have people support you.

True, it can make you feel good, but you don't NEED other people's support to succeed.
