Should young women just seek out older wealthy men?

Shades of modern Jane Austen scenarios, but there's a big TikTok thing going on (the best known one is SheraSeven - the 'female Andrew Tate') about young women faking adoration for older well off guys to get them to take care of them and pay their bills.

Is this what we really want in the early 21st century? Women returning to 18th century models of how to live, thrive and survive?

I say this admitting that I do sometimes find older well off men pretty attractive, but maybe it's the faking and the pretending she advocates and the cynicism of it that puts me off?

Thoughts??

People can do whatever they want. But they must be able to handle the consequences of their actions. I think most people would regard those women immoral and debased. So long as they can live with it, fine. But they have no cause to complain if they are treated badly or if society regards them as worse than actual prostitutes (nothing really wrong with prostitutes, they do not necessarily deceive anyone unlike these women you describe).

ThickTok - 'nuff said.

Seems like advice that's been heard before...




Though Linda seems to think you ned to get that gold dug before you're 25, but according to Graun Shera thinks that's the starting age.

I believe it has also spread to YT and the gram.

Would love to live in a world where older men with money are genuinely convinced that younger, attractive women whose bills they pay are not at all in it for the money

My friends and I were discussing this kind of thing a few days ago. The conclusion we came to is that most of us would absolutely love to have a sugar parent. Amazing!

Not exactly just regular parenting though, is it.

Eh?? I know. I used the neutral term because we're a mixture of guys and guys. The girls would love a sugar daddy and the guys would love a joosy cougar.
