I think we all have in one point in our lives dated a person who was older than us, but what is too old? We all have the right to fall in love and age shouldn’t matter, but we can’t help but to gawk in disgust when we see a way younger girl with a man who looks like their grandfather.
My first victim– Mary-Kate Olsen (26) and her 42-year-old boyfriend Oliver Sarkozy. This twin obviously had some issues growing up that she turned to drugs, bulimia and who knows what else that she seeked such a man for herself. This is just beyond gross and he’s obviously an old horny man. Even Oliver’s ex-wife calls it “grotesque.”
Now I know many women find older men attractive because they appear to be wiser, mature, experienced in bed, have money and yada, yada, yada– which is fine but dating a grandpa isn’t hot. Yeah, yeah it’s the inside that matters– we know! But I can’t picture a man who needs to take Viagra, take pills everyday, having saggy breasts and so many other issues sexy. Oh, and someone close to age as my dad who can talk about the Vietnam war isn’t something I would ever want.
I’m sure besides being a grandpa, Oliver does a lot for Mary-Kate emotionally and probably physically, but lets not think about that. Someone like Mary-Kate can’t just date any regular guy and he possibly is her equal in terms of that, but was there no one else out there for you MK???
Mary-Kate obviously isn’t dating him for his money because she’s worth much more, but many women out there are called “gold diggers.” Women who can date any man just as long as they have a big bank account. Older men usually don’t care much because it’s somewhat of an even exchange for them.
Now men like Oliver find younger women attractive because
– they have that free spirit about them
– don’t worry much about real life issues
– are at their sexual peak
– they look hella good on that arm of theirs
– they will always have something to brag about to their other grandpa friends.
– they can easily manipulate a younger woman
– have more control
– can easily impress a younger women
We get why men do it, but it’s just yucky. Now not at all men do this, but most do and they must be stopped!
I’m not saying dating any man older than you is disgusting it just depends on how much older and what their physical appearance looks like. I keep mentioning the outer appearance because it’s what catches everyone’s eyes first. Most people are shallow– surprise, surprise. I’m sure after getting past the looks Oliver is a swell guy, but we don’t know him so we judge his wrinkly and droopy self because he’s 16 years older than her.
I have dated older men as old as 10 years older than me, and never older than that. I just have such a bad history with nasty old men which is why I have such a nasty outlook on men who are past 40 dating a woman in her early/mid 20’s.
Mary-Kate Olsen isn’t the first to date a father/grandpa. We have the most famous couple Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas who are 25 years apart and fell in love. I can see it with them because who doesn’t love Michael Douglas!? It also makes it such a great romance because she wasn’t in her twenties when dating and marrying him.
Then there was Celine Dion and her manager from when she was a teenager, Rene Angelil who are 26 years apart. Although their love is beautiful now I can’t help to think he was some perv back when he was managing her.
I don’t know if many of you remember Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart who were 23 years apart back when they dated. Another couple who seemed to fit perfectly. It was appropriate because she wasn’t young and naïve.
What are your opinions on this?
