to think well done lorane pascal on dating a 23 year old fitness instructor

[alittlethyme]

I'm not sure why she is getting so much hate about this. If the sexes were reversed no one would say anything. Anyway lp looks about 29!

Why "well done"? Dating someone isn't an achievement.

I couldn't care less who either of them date.

Surely if the sexes were reversed you would get loads of "so what first attracted you to millionaire paul Daniels " comments/jokes

[ssd]

what do you mean well done? is it a badge of honour to date a 23 yr old fitness instructor? I can't think of anything worse.

I don't think of boyfriends as arm candy, so I can't see any reason to congratulate her.

Is she getting hate about it? I hadn't even heard until I saw this thread

The thing with older women dating younger men vs older men dating younger women is that it is unusual. From both a social perspective and a "survival of the species" one too.

There are lots of studies which indicate women seek out men who are older and men who seek out women who are younger for security/fertility, respectively, all on a subconscious level. Obviously this is usually to lesser rather than greater extents in terms of age gaps.

I don't care if Lorraine Pascal dates a younger man anymore than I care that Bradley Cooper is dating a younger woman.
