If you were to take the same people that you're talking about & reverse your statement to " Really - Men / Women have a love life with people older than their parents!", it still would be equally true.
I never understood the double standard of men get patted on the back for dating a much younger woman yet the woman is always assumed to be a gold digger.
Yet when women date younger men.. something is psychologically wrong with them
If they are not committing a crime.. it is none of our buisness

You will find that most of the population who are healthy are attracted to their own age group as they get older. There are a few people around though who have an age crisis, women as well as men and it shows this to everybody else, but themselves There are those also who have been through a childhood trauma and are still looking for mommy or daddy. Again, everybody sees it, but themselves. Such people are the easy victims of scammers or toxic narcissistic sociopaths, so one should really feel sorry for them.

Yet if you go to Asia, you will find a high population of Scandanavians in the 70's and older married to girls in the 20's and 30's. And living a very happy life lol.

Gold-digger or not you might believe both sides are getting what they want.
Older woman/younger man you're likely to believe both sides would rather be somewhere else. She envies his youth and if she could steal his age she would do and use it to land herself a silver fox.

Yes I've seen some of them. The younger girls here are wise to them and they have a word for them "Gubb Javel" The old men "Import" young Asian girls to Scandinavia hoping to keep them, but alas the girls are too clever for them and as soon as they get their permits after two years of hell pretending to love "Grandpa" they leave the pathetic and doddering old fart and have a happy life. Ha ha ha! Good luck to the girls.
mmmmmmmm be careful what you say might be misinterpreted .... or maybe that is your point . !!!!??? Personally i feel relationships with big age gap are unhealthy often its a use use situation its not an equal relationship . I feel insulted by very young guys contacting me imagining that id be thrilled at prospect of being with a guy 20 or 30 yrs younger . No I wouldn't...... I find the whole idea off putting and disrespectful .
It is fact that older men prefer younger women . Young guys chasing older women is also common but older women for most part do not want younger men they want mature man like themselves . This I read from research done on one of the big dating apps. I believe it to be true as it is also my own experience . I get most contact from guys who are 20 or more years younger than me and when I look at profiles of men in my own age group 60 plus they mostly seeking woman 12 to 25 yrs younger . It's partly why I've given up hope of meeting a suitable man .

Someone in his late twenties / early thirties, working and living on his own, is hardly a kid. Not even for his grand-mother, only for you. Or are you suggesting peadophilia here?
