Famous Older Woman Younger Man Relationships in 2024

Love knows no age and attraction is primarily emotional (like eHarmony or Tinder) and physical (like BeNaughty or Ashley Madison), not logical. It is thus normal to feel attracted to younger partners and if you like someone younger than yourself, I say go and get them.

The thing is, the age difference doesn’t matter unless you make it matter. Stereotyping men or women by age is as irrational as stereotyping them by hair color. So drop all your luggage about age and get to know who a person really is.
