But, that's just what I call all conservative traitors.

Damn... how did I miss that?

The guy from Staind is also a piece of shit

Yeah. humans are weird. and dumb.

...and it sure a shit isn't like some gross, middle-aged pedophile, grooming some naive 12 year old to be his child bride.

You have been banned from c/Conservative.

He was 44 and she was 19 when they met

I think for a long term committed relationship, if one person is decades older than the other, the older one must not care much about the quality of life of the younger.

Might be all fun and games in the moment, but you are on a trajectory to probably inflict elder care on that partner down the road. Being tied down to a tired old person instead of someone that can keep up with them.

Maybe if the older person is rich enough to ensure others provide the care and the relationship is open, or if the relationship is mutually agreed to be a short term one before the age related deterioration is likely to really set in. But generally I don't think this is the case.

There's a huge difference between more than eleven months and 25 years. She was 19 and he was 44 when they met.

i just see this as people not liking that women have a choice of dating someone older than them

USUALLY the same thing happens when women date much younger men.

It's about power, not about gender. People with a lot of experience and resources prey on people who have very little.

If someone is 60 and dating someone who is 30, that's usually ok (a little weird in my opinion tho) cause someone who is 30 is fairly mature and can understand what's going on, and usually has friends, a career, and a lot of stability in their lives.

If someone is 40 and dating someone that's 20... it doesn't matter what the gender mix is... the 20 year old is going to have a lot of trouble pushing back when things are wrong. The 20 year old isn't emotionally, or FINANCIALLY able to break away as easily. It's not misogynistic to say that a very young person (female or male) might end up in a situation they feel like they can't leave.

Patrick Stewart's wife was less than half his age and I didn't hear many people who had a problem with that. I think it has to do with how people view the character of the man in the relationship, as you said if it's a pattern or in Billy's case people just don't like him.

It feels like a lot of attacks on weird men’s behaviour are actually just misogynistic underneath

that's actually a pretty fair point. Society tends to think of women as having less agency than men; that they're delicate flowers, or country bumpkins getting the wool pulled over their eyes by men.

No.

A lot of them enter these situations with their eyes wide open, and its our collective small minds that can't handle that truth, so we reinvent a different narrative.

Good catch, honestly.

so only for 6 hours?

DiCaprio on Lemmy... and running Linux in a Mac apparently. Who would've guessed.

I'm a night owl myself. I'd never be able to go on a date in the morning. I wake up at noon...

EDIT: Wait... No... Oh, goodness gracious 🫢

Was curious, so I looked it up.

They started dating in 2013, when he was 44 and she was 19. So she was less than half his age for 6 years of their relationship, and now they're 57 and 32.

Their kids were born in 2015, 2018, and 2025.
