21. the creepiest thing to me is that they would think the beautiful young ones would be attracted to

them (with a few exceptions).

It's very easy to see this dynamic for what it is if you simply reverse the genders. How would most people react to an old woman (even with wealth, fame, etc.) pursuing a handsome young man?

Yes, we all know there are other factors such as intelligence, personality, etc., but presumably people can find others who can match them on these factors in age ranges similar to theirs. And, you rarely see a wealthy old man pursuing a young, intelligent, fascinating, but less-than-average-looking woman. So I just don't believe that dynamic operates often.
