So, I happened to come across a forum concerning Tobey McGuire (49) hanging out with an influencer 29 years his junior. The comments summarily bashed McGuire, so I wanted to ask you all what you think of significant age gaps between consenting adults, but from a male perspective?

I ask this because most of the opinions I read on a popular popcture sub either came from women or from those speaking as supposed fathers. McGuire was summarily bashed for it. I have my own opinions, but that's besides the point.

Since the gender dynamics are often an older man with a younger woman, which supposedly has an evolutionary basis, I felt it appropriate to ask a forum full of men (more or less) their opinions on the subject. Usually whenever I do come across threads about these sorts of things, there's disgust, repulsion, the typical "ugh, men" response and general misandry.

Interestingly enough, actual relationships like these often don't see much of a difference in relationship satisfaction compared to couples closer in age. Higher trust and lower jealousy has also been found in couples with a ten year age gap relative to couples closer in age.

So, what say you?
