Why Do Women Hate Men Who Date Younger Women?

mckenna: I was talking to a friend of mine about a week ago. This woman is in her late fifties and she’s a rock star. She fronts a band, she’s famous. She said, “Kristine, no man is ever going to be interested in us again, you have to accept that. We’re invisible. We’ve reached the age where we’re invisible. Nobody is going to notice us or care.” Which I found depressing to hear from a rock star, but I think she’s right. I mean, men prefer younger women. That’s all there is to it. I’ll read you another quote. Iggy Pop was asked how he envisioned himself in fifteen years. He said, “Probably playing music and hanging out with a chick a lot younger than me. I’m an American guy, so I prefer young pussy.” My question to him was, “Why is young pussy better?” He gave me not a very good answer, the upshot of which was that he doesn’t know. Actually, the answer he gave was that young women have less going on in their heads, so it’s not as complicated.

moshfegh: I think somebody who talks about young pussy doesn’t have respect for his own sexuality. He isn’t interested in real intimacy. He’s probably somebody who has a surface life, who drank the Kool-Aid way too many times, who’s a complete narcissist.

mckenna: Well, he’s a famous musician. I’ve interviewed him quite a few times, and he’s intelligent and deep. But he’s a person who, for decades, has been getting positive feedback for being an extraordinary physical specimen. He also said, “The longer a person lives, the more useless he becomes.” Do you think there’s any truth to that?

Most men date women their own age because they don't have the option/the capability to do otherwise, so it's possible to believe that men like Iggy Pop or Leonardo Dicaprio are a minority, but they're actually a majority.

There was a previous thread where a blooper asked why men hated sluts. Why do women hate men who date younger women?

I'd like to think hating sluts is far more rational than hating men who prefer younger women, since with the former, you're hating a minority, with the latter, you're writing off virtually half the human race, since the preference is universal.
