Madonna’s younger men

AIBU in thinking good luck to Madge for her penchant for men 30+ years younger? She is currently dating a man aged 28 and she’s 66. People are outraged by it - but she’s having fun and I think good luck to her! She loves to be controversial and she has the money and the power to do what she likes!

Why is it ok for men to date much younger women but when this is reversed everyone is shocked and outraged and “concerned” for her safety??!! She’s fine! She’s loving life. It’s so silly and pretentious anyway, all this faux worry for her well-being.

Good on her

She's growing old disgracefully and good for her.

@RoseUnder That is a fabulous description!

The Playboy Mansion is widely regarded as seedy as fuck. As is Leonardo di Caprio and his habit of ditching any partner once she gets to 25.

I only really noticed a shift in opinion on the playboy mansion after he died... in regards to Leonardo those are transactions I can just imagine he's 24 year old up and coming models giggling about the bags and press they are receiving.

soonandsoforth · 22/08/2024 20:42

I had no opinion on her and didn't understand it when I saw a negative thread on here about her a while back. Then I googled her out of interest and saw photographs of her in some very intimate poses with a rapper called Tokischa. Madonna is almost forty years older than her. It doesn't sit right with me at all. I wouldn't like to see a man do this either. They're consenting adults etc but it creeps me out.

Can't sue for defamation when a rapist is dead, can they?

Drippycandle · 22/08/2024 20:55

I don’t think it’s ok either way , as for me there’s always a power imbalance. Precisely because I’m opposed to the scenario for men, I’m opposed to it for women too.

The dead can't defend themselves either.

I've never even seen a 46 year old behave with madge 😂

Segue but Tracy Chapman. There's someone who really doesn't care what people think, and has aged brilliantly. That's an excellent, strong woman for me.

Love her. And she is such a natural beauty.

MouseofCommons · 22/08/2024 22:11

She cares too much what everyone thinks, her insta photos are 99% filler.

I miss the smart arse, confident Madonna tbh.

lowflow · 22/08/2024 22:12

She doesn't seem able to have a grown up equal relationship. This is the same as old men having a plaything because they can't handle an equal companion.

I don't buy all that surgery and filler is a strong woman living her best life either. It's like a caricature.

Poor guy.

She hasn’t kidnapped him. He’s there by choice.

Whyallanoise · 22/08/2024 22:16

What attracts these younger men to multi-millionaire Madonna?

@RoseUnder

It’s absolutely fine. I love how Madonna is aging disgracefully.

I absolutely agree! She doesn’t give a damn for what people think and she knows her behaviour will be viewed as disgraceful by many. What an excellent, strong woman

I agree too!

TheClawDecides · 22/08/2024 22:31

She's not stupid.

She knows if she was 'Madge from the bingo hall', he wouldn't glance twice at her.

offyoujollywelltrot · 22/08/2024 22:32

It's disgusting, and it shouldn't be okay for men to do it either.

Why is it disgusting for two consenting adults to have a relationship.

This is fairly normal for rich older men to date younger women. People don't bat an eyelid. Go for it Madge!. To be fair at 66 she is probably (definitely) in better shape than I am at 45.

She looked as if she needed the kiss of life in the recent pictures of her in the press.

mrsmiawallace3 · 22/08/2024 22:42

Plenty of young men around nowadays who are also enjoying relationships with significantly older women who are not Madonna.

Hear hear.

Although I’ve no thoughts one way or another about the age difference between her and her new boyfriend.

Flibflobflibflob · 22/08/2024 22:44

Tbh regardless of whether they are male of female the age and power imbalance makes me feel slightly queasy. I’m in my 40’s and I can’t imagine fancying a 20 something yr old.

Having relationships with people significantly younger than yourself, is predatory and exploitative, especially if the older party has money. The power dynamic in that situation keeps the younger party at their whim, and if you look at Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, that is a perfect example of what a man with a stupid amount of money, can do to a significantly younger woman who dared to speak up about his abuse.

It's revolting.

Only a person is nearly 30 it's quite odd to think they can the victim of predatory behaviour how old do you expect somebody to be before we say they are not vulnerable lol.
