Obviously you feel threatened by teen-aged girls, or perhaps even women in their early twenties. Many middle-aged and older women have that fear. It is understandable, because if they have been mediocre, unimaginative life partners and have lost their uninhibited sex drive, a significant number of men begin to look at more vibrant, often younger partners. I know the same can be said for many men who let themselves go and their ambitious, smart, sexy wives finally wake up and let their slobby, unimaginative, in-a-rut husbands go. So this is not a battle of the sexes, but a statement of discriminating tastes, goals, compatibility, physical and psychological attraction and more.
If a man was attracted to 25 year olds when he was 25, was still attracted to them at 35, 45 and even 55, why do some individuals (or even societies for that matter) take it upon themselves to project their preferences upon that individual?
Why must a person be expected to be attracted only to another that is within the same age, income or social strata (and many still condemn interracial or homosexual relationships)?
How free is a society if individuals are still discriminated against because of age: in the workplace, socially and especially sexually?
