I don’t believe it’s creepy for two consenting adults with a large age gap to date. If a 25 year old woman dates a 50 year old man, I don’t think it’s creepy. It’s none of my business. I don’t judge them.

A man who dates younger women is called “creepy.” A woman who dates younger men is called a cougar. Leonardo DiCaprio was judged harshly for dating a 19 year old woman. Most older women are not judged for dating younger men.

Sometimes it’s hard to find a partner of the same age. For example, if a man divorces at 50, it would be hard to find a 50 year old woman. He would have to date someone younger.

The double standard is that men get judged harshly. Society has to change it’s attitude.

They are adults. They can date who they want. It’s not creepy or wrong. People should stay out of the private business of other adults. If it makes the couple happy, more power to them, I say.
