I had a big laugh reading this non sense of an article or rather, garbage by that waste of a "man" who wrote this. At this rate, I wouldn't surprised to see men being shamed for going after women in a not so distant future. What a wasteland or a joke has the US and Anglosphere become!!! Is there any hope left there or is it too far gone to the gutters?

Wow. There should be another article that says, "What if young women were not so bitchy and met stable guys for long term relationships and families rather than riding the cock carousel during their best years then maybe guys would stay with them when they got old and ugly."

Never been married, not bitter just stating the obvious.

I was going to express my feelings regarding the stupidity of this sentiment, but I clicked the link and saw this:

This is the same man who a) promotes cuckolding (despite supposedly being a "feminist") and b) claims that men should be open to receiving anal sex to combat "misogyny".

Everything argument he makes is so blatantly gynocentric and over the top (evidencing his desire to get in line wit the feminists, many of whom are wary of him themselves) that it can't be taken seriously. This article is a joke and so is he.

Wow. That was quite a read. I had NO idea that there are men out there getting worked up over this issue.

Asking why men prefer younger women is like asking why water runs downhill.

Did Hugo check the age of Heard's last girlfriend? Tasya Van Ree is 37 - over 10 years her senior, violating his age limit. Real sharp dude.

First, it's always faulty to use something that occurs in the celebrity world as symbolic of some kind of overall trend. In the modeling world, it's pretty common to have old, balding guys with ponytails hitting on teen and barely out their teens models. And banging them. It isn't uncommon for a man in is mid 30s that has means to date and marry 10 years or so below. There are certain cultures where women SEEK much older men. This has always been, and will continue to be. And frankly, the average man probably DOES date and marry women within 10 years of his own age.

He tries to use online as evidence of this, but that really isn't true. Yes, men will hit up women younger than them, but not THAT much younger, and women tend to reject those overtures online from much older men more often than not. There are niche sites for those kinds of pairings also. Personally, I don't look more than 10 - 15 years younger, but I just turned 50, so these women aren't in the cradle. But more than anything, I look for BEAUTY. As for Depp, if he's looking to start up a second family, he SHOULD look to women in their 20s. If I were looking to start a family, I'd start hunting for women 20 - 25 years younger. And Depp is hardly "graying." Dude is in tip-top shape from what I can see, and I divide females into two categories - adult, and non-adult. At 27, she's no child. He also spits that same feminist tripe about women providing "challenges" for their male partners. I wish Schwyzer would just run off and let a chick bend him over and fuck him with a strap-on, and leave the rest of us guys alone to our business.

"As sophisticated as a 20-something may be, she will be more so—with a more exquisite bullshit detector—in her 40s. When older men date much younger women, they cheat themselves out of an opportunity to be matched with a partner with the maturity to see them as they really are. Depression, the research shows, peaks for men in their mid-to-late 40s. In the face of statistics like those, middle-aged men can't afford to choose partners who lack the life experience to provide the right kind of challenge."

i almost get giddy when i read something this ridiculous. it's like these dudes don't stand a chance.... and somehow that means more young poosy opportunities in the medium to long term for guys like me. the future is friendly indeed my brothers.

The line between Atlantic and the rest of the cathedral and the Onion gets blurrier by the hour. Then again, the Onion has gone from being subversive liberal (the good kind, that at least has the honesty to question all authority) to the bootlicking cathedral kind.

Quote:Research on age disparate relationships does find a biological case for older men choosing slightly younger women; a 2007 study of 11,000 Swedes found that the most fecund men were those with partners six years younger than themselves. The strategic reproductive benefit of choosing a younger woman diminished as the age gap widened. According to the science, Depp was better matched with Paradis (nine years his junior) than with the new girlfriend.

Is this guy trying to argue that Depp has a better chance of getting his 40 year old ex pregnant, than he does his new 27 year old girlfriend?

LOL what? Does an old man magically make an old woman fertile? Someone give this man a Nobel prize.

Hugo Schwyzer is obviously trolling. After a long unsuccessful career at a community college he's finally been given a platform because his infuriating nonsense generates so many page views. Of course he's milking it for a it's worth.

Comments section:

Another "man-up" shaming article trying to save bitter, aging, spinster feminists from their bad decisions of wasting their fertile and attractive years on careerism and "sexual exploration". You made your bed, now lie in it.

Ok which RVF member was this?
