Older Woman Loving A Younger Man

Perhaps nothing else raises more dirty jokes or indignant, critical eyebrows than a relationship between a younger man and an older woman. In the mind of society, she would only be one of a few things: a vamp, a sugar momma, a wilting flower desperately needing to be watered, among others. He, on the other hand, would be the boy-toy, the Peter Pan, or a “scientist” fiddling with his experimental subject.

he subject of a relationship between an older woman and a younger man has been vilified over and over in popular media. Among the most notorious of the fictional characters Hollywood has ever produced to illustrate such a relationship is Anne Bancroft’s Mrs. Robinson, who pursued Dustin Hoffman’s Benjamin Braddock in the 1967 movie The Graduate. Another popular depiction of such a relationship between an older woman and a younger man is the one shown between Christ Ostreicher (Chris Klein) and his schoolmate Stifler’s mother in the American Pie series. There are just some people in society who look down on romantic relationships between older women and younger men, perhaps more than they do relationships between older men and younger women. For ages now, we have been fed with so-called scientific facts that men are hard-wired to seek women their age or younger for reproduction purposes, while women instinctively look for men their age or older for financial and emotional support. Thus, what is the deal with these developing relationships between older women and younger men?
