writes:This is not really a relationship question but is it wrong for to want to kick the asses of men who go after younger women? Not like a 50 year old and 40 year old, I mean a 40 year old and a 17 year old.I used to work at a place and a disgusting 45 year old male manager was hitting on the underage girls. One even filed Sexual Harassment against him. I really wanted to take him out back and let him have it. Another naive girl I know is dating a sleazy guy who is twice her age. While the girl thinks shes in love they guy and his friends are like "oh yea, you scored a 18 year old!" He is obviously taking advantage of her and I want to break this guy in two but my friend has forbid it. Another guy (used to be my friend) slept with a drunk/stoned 17 year old girl and he is in his mid-thirties with a wife and kids! He got an STD and to be frank, he deserved it. Why don't these guys act their age and grow up. I mean I had a good female friend who was a year younger than me (17 at the time), but was SO mature and acted much older. She dated 25-30 year old guys and I was OK with it because the men appreciated her because they had a mutual respect and were mature. The guys were not interested in the fact that she was "young" but because she was bright and intelligent.Is it wrong of me to want to punch some of these guys in the face? Most people don't really seem to mind but it's guys like this that give men a bad reputation. Sometimes I feel like I'm overreacting and my girlfriend says that it's not a big deal.

 Do you reserve the same outrage for mature women who date younger guys?
If you are not outraged, ask yourself why and then compare your answer to the scenarios you mentioned.
We live in a society rife with double standards. Only by breaking down the barriers can we hope to achieve any measure of true equality.

Biff160 is verified as being by the original poster of the questionIt's definately true that I should not punch someone in the face or attack them. It would only put me in trouble with the law and in the end, it won't change those guys' ways. I'll admit I came pretty close a few times. I was once a manager at a business and a young female employee (19) was being hit on by an older man. She was showing no signs of interest but did not want to be rude. When the guy didn't get the messege I had approach him and ask if there was anything I could do for him and he told me to back off. Long story short, I had to forcibly remove him from the premises.
It doesn't really bother me if the age gap were 50 and 30, because the 30 yr old should have grown up enough and has the years to have some life experience about the nature of the humans we have to share the world with. What bothers me is when these very young and inexperienced girls are being taken advantage of by older men who turn around and brag to their mates about what they did. Attraction and relationships should be based of a mutual understanding and I find it hard to believe that an 18 year old can understand a 30-40 year old. It almost smacks of father/daughter issues or abuse.

As long as we have free will these things will go on, all we can do is concentrate on our own lives and let others do with theres what they think is right at the time.

The numbers/gradients generally don't mean anything to me, but all the other things you said, yeah it fires me up too.
So of course I'm giving the thumbs up that your response is pretty normal.
