(1,896 posts)84. It is a thin line between old man and dirty old man
There isnt much difference between being an old man and the point when one becomes a dirty old man. Some like to walk that thin and dangerous line, not realizing that it is those watching us who have the power to make the call, not ourselves.
That being said, where is the temptation? Remember- no act of philanthropy goes unpunished, someone will always fault your decisions. Are you doing it for her? Are you really trying to help? Or is it maybe just for oneself, all for oneself? A little for oneself?
For those who can take an objective look, go somewhere and watch for someone like yourself doing the same thing. What are your first thoughts?

I bet if you ask the OP, it was Cuomo's egotistical behavior that he had in mind.

Each of the women Cuomo thought might like his sexual flirtation was three or four decades younger.

So, all the younger women who marry older men or women are sugarbaby golddiggers?

I was wondering the same thing. The EGO for men that age to think they're so appealing

If this about Cuomo, why aren't things like this posted every time a Republican does it?

Anna Ruch isn't anonymous, and she's a Democrat and a former Biden campaign staffer.

Young women aren't there for older men to use because their wives aren't interested.
