Reeves trended on Twitter with many praising the actor for dating a woman who is close to his age, but some questioned whether he should be trending in the first place.

What's the best part about dating twenty five year olds?

I never felt that age was the main factor in compatibility.
When I was 18 I tended to go for women much older cuz they offered me things I wanted, and by that I mean intellectual things. In tangibles.
Now that I'm 40 I find I'm not really too compatible with the average American middle aged woman. So again I will probably seek out women in a different age group.

Good point, having sex to the point of passing out might not be considered a perk to some.

This is ATOT, why's don’t matter.

I told my wife I was going to trade her in for two 20 year olds.

She said I wasn't wired for 220

Dude, I’m probably on some FBI watch list now

It's probably my favorite joke of the last two decades.

If you quickly glanced at the photo, you'd think Reeves is 46 and his lady friend is 50-something.

"Hi honey!"

I find his taste in women excellent. Alexandra Grant is a fine looking woman.

Just hope Reeves gets a fulfilling relationship. That dude has had some really unfortunate dark days and generally seems like a good guy despite it.

Probably wouldn't care as long as I would know that I could love that person. Connection is the factor for me. Of course I am not rich and famous but I don't think that it would change me much.

I go by the total added years above my age of ladies I have dated before, then use that as a measure of how young I can date. So far, I'm aiming for about 20-25 years younger than me.

I'm trying to apply your formula but keeping ending up in a place that would make Uhohs blush. An example would be helpful.

For me it's pretty easy, because it's really just 2 ladies older than me, long term, @ 9-10 years each. ...I ignore those that were younger than me as some sort of "correction." They don't factor into the math.

This allows me to pursue ladies ~22 and older.

I've talked about this over drinks with the wife/friends. The problem with dating someone WAY younger is they don't relate with your experiences- they grew up in a completely different time period. Successful relationships are based on commonality- hence the name "RELATION-ship". Men are wired to visual attraction, so young healthy bodies are a big draw for us...but that's just physical attraction. If two people don't have anything more than that, it will never work.

I'm 49 now, and when I look at women in their 20's, I see my daughter's friends--and when I hear them speak my brain immediately goes into "dad mode." I don't think I could date anyone more than 10 years younger than me (not that I would ever do that...my wife is hot )

A lot of my interests didn't become 'socially acceptable' until I was well into adulthood. Its much more common to find women into geekdom type of stuff in a younger age bracket. It probably matters less as you age though. Experiences you had as a child are different than those experienced as an adult. I'd think dating someone in their late 20's/early 30's would be entirely different than someone just out of school even with bigger age gap for the older women.

I have mixed feelings, it was funny, but also brings up pedophelia, which is disgusting.
