A lot of people do as a way to judge a person’s rank in society. The attractiveness of a person’s spouse is a common metric for how successful someone is. So, if a highly attractive woman is slumming it with a man who appears to be well below her status, it is confusing for a lot of people.

Only people who have parasocial relationships care about this shit.

People online are actually “real” people as well (assuming they are not bots) so yeah, at least some subset care. Do I care personally? Not in the slightest.

There’s definitely people that care. Should people care? My opinion is no. I don’t care. Do what you want as long as everyone involved is of age and consenting.

No. At the very most someone might say it, but that’s about the end of it. Unless someone is jealous, I can’t see why anyone would hold it against either of them.

Do I care? No

Do I love listening to my friends gossip? Yes

It doesn’t work the other way, because women very rarely have any desire to exploit men for sex. There also isn’t an element of paternalism, where the man can be a controlling influence over a woman’s life and choices. I would just assume he’s nice to her, so they have fun together.

Real people are more worried about whether to clean the litter box now or later than about who’s dating whom.

Young and immature people. Once you realize what you need in your life to be happy, and what in another person compliments, it doesn’t matter whatsoever.

Some vain or narcissistic people stuck in arrested development never figure that out. Usually divorced a number of times.

Nope
