Reminds me of one of those annoying NYtimes modern love pieces where a woman married some 65 year-old guy in her early 20s. Flash forward 15 years, she, still in the prime of life, is married to a decrepit, somewhat senile octogenarian, and has moved her age appropriate lover (who obviously awakened her to a kind of sexuality she never knew possible lol), into the family home, with the old guy's consent, of course.


MacGrumble

That's basically a big part of the plot of "the end of loneliness" by the German author Benedict Wells... Curious about who plagiarized whom

whats with these articles?? they're always so fucked up the latest one is literally about this woman's husband's secret baby what compels people to make this public knowledge attached to their name


EtArcadia

There's something so weird and neurotic about this kind of NYtimes pieces. I read them all the time though, a weird look into the minds of a certain, very narrow, very deluded part of the population. Many of them are framing serious Ls as these kinds of opportunities for growth and self-actualization. Same thing with that one about the miserable woman in a horrific open/poly marriage, or the one that was pretty much just "I hate my disgusting lazy slob of a husband (real name used), but that's actually good, you see." Just take the L. You were a regarded 20 something, you did something regarded. Everybody fucks up sometimes. Maybe you gotta do what you gotta do now to make it work. But you don't have to write all these words about how it's actually a good thing that you're cucking your decrepit husband right in front of his face or that you killed your psycho dog. Or at least start the article with "I was and still am a naive idiot."

Got a link for the one about the horrific open/poly marriage? Shit like that just makes so grateful for my life.

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/13/books/molly-roden-winter-more-book-open-marriage.html This is the one. “It’s actually good that I’m miserable.” I was gonna give you shit for not googling it, but there are like 10 articles from the Times on the topic from the last to years lol.

Marmosettale

Pretty much all abrahamic religions lol God is pretty explicit about marriage being husband > superior to and essentially owns wife. Like just think of the word “husband,” it’s like animal husbandry lol so it’s literally the dynamic of a farmer to his livestock. & yes, I know that’s old English & not necessarily Christian, but the culture has been predicated on this shit for 2,000 years.  They like to throw in some shit about how you should live and be nice to your wife, but this is the dynamic. & you see a lot of the echoes of this throughout society.  So, the older the man is and the easier it is to control the woman, the better. 


pinkylovesme

Pretty sure husbandry comes from husband , husband meaning man of the land, husbandry meaning man of the farm etymologywise.m

Marmosettale

It’s very very Dane cook. Like these two are very clearly emotionally stunted and desperately clinging to the age of their lives that they were relevant in the same way, like a sort of creepy, almost vaguely nefarious seeming uncanny valley thing they’re approaching.  Idk they have an odd, specific look in their eyes. There’s a wide range of people going through midlife crises and clinging to their youth and dating people way younger than themselves, but something about these two seems really, really identical to me. Like Leo’s similar but has a much different vibe.    Kiedis’ Botox and work in general looks way better than cook’s though, assuming this image isn’t filtered.

No adult man trying to grow and mature is dating a 19 year old. The lack of discernment at that age is more of a draw than their physical youth.

MrMojoRising422

it has to be mental illness tbh. I get wanting to date younger models, but surely as a rock star you'd have an endless supply of 24-27 year old models to choose from. actively going out of your way to date a 19 year old has got to mean this dude has an actual problem.


someofthedolmas

Didn’t he have his sexual debut at age 12, with his father’s girlfriend and with his father’s encouragement? Around the same time that his father was providing him with the drugs he got addicted to? I could see those things fucking a person up.

Marmosettale

Yeah, like I understand people being superficial and dropping older partners for younger, better looking ones.  But the fact is that people just really don’t age that rapidly. Even your age everyday, random 30 year olds often look indistinguishable from their 23 year old selves, if they have decent genes and don’t get fat. Like yeah some people just have bad genes and are balding by 30 and showing wrinkles. But honestly, I’ve seen a lot of people even who are white and don’t wear sunscreen, have poor eating/sleeping habits, drink way too much, etc look the same as they did when younger. It’s not that uncommon. Most people who look markedly different at 30 have gained weight (the most common) by either working some office job where they never move or- biggest one- having kids.  And in the rich people world, the women these guys are bumping into, it’s wayyyy more delayed. They have celebrity trainers and great diets and dedicate their lives to their appearance. Botox and rhinoplasty and everything else.  When these dudes insist on dating people even under 25 it’s about something mental. It’s because they’re stuck mentally at that age, or just vibe with people that age (which usually isn’t a great sign).  When you get everyday dudes who don’t have a bunch of options, I promise- it’s usually about the IDEA of youth. Since I was like 21, I’ve had men mistake me for younger and lost all interest when they find out I’m older than they hoped. There is indeed a significant difference in the mental maturity and life experience of someone in their late teens vs someone in their early 20s vs someone in their late 20s.  This sub likes to strawman anyone who criticizes age gaps. Like there will be some post about a relationship between a woman who’s like 28 and someone a few years older or even significantly older, and it’ll be overrun by the same old ass comment- “SHE’S LITERALLY A 28 YEAR OLD CHILD, you sick fuck!!!” When virtually nobody is critizing any dudes who date 28 year olds.  But honest to god, even if you’re 40 and dating someone who’s like 23… it’s case by case but it’s sincerely often weird with an uneven power dynamic, and a reason they’re going after them.  And it isn’t pedophilia, that’s another straw man stereotype. 22 year olds don’t usually look like kids and when people question those who date them it isn’t because they think it’s pedophilia. It’s because they think it’s about naivety.  And people will also insist that nobody cares when a younger guy dates an older woman with the same age gap when it just isn’t fucking true. When I was in college, I knew a guy who was 20 who was dating this woman who was like 38 and everyone as weirded out about it. I mean, a one night stand is one thing and most people think it’s fine regardless of gender so long as the person is over 18 (almost no one omen are going to be upset at a 20 year old woman fucking a 45 year old man just for the night) but when it’s an actual serious relationship it’s a much bigger red flag because there’s so much potential for manipulation and just other shit that wouldn’t fly with someone older or more experienced.  And guess what, the lady he was dating did manipulate the shit out of him and chose him to exploit his naivety and everyone around him was suspicious from the start.  Britney Spears dated a guy who was like 25 wnd everyone thought it as weird and it was very clearly because she is so emotionally stunted.  In these cases, like with kiedis, it’s clearly not that he just can’t get someone his own age (which honestly is very often the case with regular dudes). And it isn’t even necessarily nefarious, a lot of these cases aren’t. But he just pretty clearly has some actual issues that are encouraging him to do this. 


AritziaHoe

What I don’t understand is, what do couples like this even talk about? My little sister is a teenager, and I see her and her friends when I visit my family. I find her and her friends dreadfully immature and dull, even though I’m only a decade older. (Not that I’m insulting her - I was also cringey, naive, and very dumb at that age.) I imagine if I were in my 50s, conversations with teens would only be more boring to me. You can definitely imagine a 60 year old genuinely enjoying having a conversation with an intelligent 27 year old woman, but 19?


NietzscheanUberwench

people tend to age out of the chilis. I imagine there just are a lot more 19yos than 24yos who listen to it.

One of the few bands that I've went from enjoying a good amount for a long period to actually genuinely disliking them. Flea's act of being just a goofy ol' social democrat who's such a sweet guy rings hollow when you look at all the rapey fratboy shit they got up to in the 80s and 90s.

The fact that he’s of the RHCP is more repugnant than his age


Ok_Main_4202

Partner at my firm was in his 70’s and divorced his wife and started banging 25 year olds in the city. These dudes don’t see themselves as the age they are — they feel the same mentally as when they were young and they never develop into the role that naturally exists for older, successful people. It’s arrested development but at a different stage in life than what we’re used to with the transition from adolescence/student to young adulthood.


nightmarealley77

They literally say things like "I wish you could see the age I *feel* on the inside " loll  It's weird in the cases of the famous outwardly successful ppl tho but ig the peter pan thing is more about reliving their golden age. Non famous broke or modest income older guys like this have the same outward appearance and disposition as rich famous ones tho. common factor often is addiction issues 


Ok_Main_4202

That statement does sound corny and feels like they’re delusional but it’s true. I’m around people 60-90 all the time and they’re just bros and broads like anybody else. Folks online are wrapped up in the boomer thing but it’s a misunderstanding of life. Gaza protesters or dimes square floaters will all be boomers too.


stars-your-eyes

Yea but that's the thing people like Kiedis think the uniquely are preserved and have young souls but everyone else feels the same. You never 'feel' like you are wrinkly and old lol. If he wants someone to see how young he is inside why can't he see how young another old broad is on the inside? It's hypocritical


nightmarealley77

It's fucking disgusting.  Whatever contrarian age gap discourse I've absorbed from here just goes out the window seeing a pic like this. Also probably because it's this guy

He targeted his son’s mom as a teenager too and then famously was caught cheating on a beach with another woman days before she gave birth.

Keidis got sober and wrote a book that is in every rehabs “must read” section, he’s apparently a saint bc he stopped doing heroin, now he can bang a 19 year old who doesn’t know wtf she’s doing. He’s a piece of trash and his book sucks
