I'm part of a community around a sport.
Locally, everyone knows everyone, it can be quite gossipy, but also very supportive.
There's a man I've know for about 7 years. A veteran in the sport but still competing at a decent level. He's very knowledgeable and likes to support newbies. Over the years he's organised several beginners groups, who mostly seem to have been youngish women. I don't know if that's conicidence or not, but everything I've heard about them is now wonderfully kind and supportive he is, never anything about him being a predator or being over familiar with them. He's not especially good looking or charismatic, so it's not not obvious how he manages to get so many women hanging on to his everyword, but he is kind and suppprtive.
During this time, AFAIK, he's had 2 serious relationships. The first ended very badly with some toxic behaviour on both sides. The second ended amicably and they still train together, never heard either of them say a bad word. He has children from two previous relationships, one when he was a teenager and he's still close with them all.
I've never heard any gossip regarding him and the young women from his groups.
Anyway he's started sending me flirty messages and that's been fun. I am neither young nor a beginner, he's been very kind about and interested in my achievements in the sport, but then he would, wouldn't he?
So basically he seems like a decent, ordinary middle aged bloke...... who is always surrounded by young women....
