Is it really OK to date a toyboy half your age?

by Beverley Turner

 

Kate Beckinsale, 46, has  had to defend her attraction to boyfriend Goody Grace, 23. Pictured: Kate with boyfriend Goody Grace

 

Bernie Ecclestone, still spry at 89, recently boasted he ‘didn’t need Viagra’ to father his new son with wife Fabiana, 44.

 

Contrast this with the actress Kate Beckinsale, looking glorious at 46 yet forced to sneak around LA with her 23-year-old musician boyfriend, Goody Grace, and even defend her attraction to him, saying having fun at her age ‘seems to be risque, which is just ridiculous’.

 

She adds that she has no plans to ‘sit at home and anticipate menopause while crocheting’.

 

Well, hurrah for her! I must admit that although I, too, am in an age-gap relationship — with a man 14 years my junior — I wondered what she sees in such a boyish man.

Why on Earth not?  It's fine for men to date women who are half their age after all.

The key factor here is... Which testosterone filled straight lad wouldn’t fancy Kate Beckinsale at any age !!!

 

 

When its fat old man with no personality paying for a 20 year old’s company I can see how society may judge, the same if its an unattractive older lady paying for a 20 year old guy...  But that happen’s and adults can make their own choices, which are usually borne of financial reward, or perhaps desperation and survival due to and lack of alternative. 

 

Whichever way round this happens, if the reasons are mutually agreed and acceptable to both parties then what is there to judge ????

Way to go Goody enjoy the ride while it lasts, Sorry pardon the pun.

i'm sure he's not in it for the love.

[ratcatcher]

Is the guy on her left her bodyguard or accountant?

[nausea]

It's the oedipus thing. At a younger age, and full of teosterone, I was certainly attracted to older women. It's actually the perfect storm, older women coming to terms with their sexuality, and younger guys who can keep it up all day.

[Grumpy one]

Personally I prefer women, but if you want a toy boy go ahead have 2

Yep, I like his shiny pants. And his puzzled expression as to how Kate could want this other guy when he's right next to her.

Definitely not, she looks more like a brilliant cook.

 

But I could be wrong.

Is it? I mean as far as I'm concerned it is, but there are a lot of judgemental feminist types out there who would disagree.

[Don Mega]

Personally not really interested in toyboy's half my age,  am sure a few on TV are though.

Exactly - and in any case none of our business.

It's a bit sad when an older woman tries to have a relationship with a younger boy. Because you know for sure the boy is just using her for sex (or in this case sex and a celebrity life)  but in the long term he won't stay with a woman who at 56 will have a face that does not compare to 46, 36 and even less to 26. He will leave for sure.

 

It's different for men. Because women only have one shot at the evolutionary goal, a baby, they do not just look at looks, they look at many other characteristics, as the woman in the "No" camp in that article makes clear. So many older men actually succeed in keeping their younger partners on side.

 

Women are not, generally, able to do so because their deteriorating looks and sexual attractiveness are an issue, and are therefore bound to be the losers in a young boy/older woman relationship.

 

It's sad.

I recall reading somewhere a long time ago of an American Indian tribe whose young men were married off to older women to learn the ways of the world. When the older woman died, they then were married off to the younger women to teach them. And so on.

 

how true this is, I know not. I just put it out there that we should not judge, lest we be judged.
