Jessica Alba, 44, mother of 3, is dating Top Gun Actor

[Clockwerk50]

The guy is getting some action, nothing wrong with that.

That said, I’d steer clear of these “cradle robbers.” The real issue isn’t the age gap but the imbalance in relationship experience. Older women often have sharper communication skills and know how to navigate relationships better. This can create a power imbalance where the younger guy struggles to assert himself, and the older partner ends up running the show. It’s hard for a younger man to step into his role with confidence when he’s being outplayed from the start. Even trying to break things off would be a struggle.

She's hardly antiquated, by modern standards, and most red-blooded heterosexual men would still "smash that", if chance permitted

JA's likely in for a rude awakening though, if she believes the prospects of this extending beyond a brief fling are strong

The truth is men who are actors don’t suddenly become good with women just because they received some notoriety from film making. Most of these types are usually major geeks growing up and have zero skills with women. Some actor-guys will gain confidence and begin smashing the way you’d expect. Others, maybe like Mr. Gosling or this Top Gun actor, remain unsure of themselves and think because they are dating a well known name like Alba or Mendez they have really caught something special. Most Hollywood types aren’t exactly socially calibrated. Many are outright bizarre. So let’s stop pretending these guys walk on water.

President Macron has to be one of the most pathetic examples of a guy who could probably have whatever he wanted if his soul and mojo hadn’t been removed by the creature he’s married to.

I still dont get why actors are dating among each other, to the point they'll go after post wall and single mother actresses. Makes no damn sense.

It makes sense because a woman that is wealthier will not be able to extract alimony/palimony.

It's quite amazing - Macron is arguably the most talented post-war European politician. He started tapping his now-wife when he was 15, and I guess he's always been satisfied with it - or maybe he didn't ever want to pompe de poulet.

It's good from a headlines and attention perspective - keeps them in the news.

Wonder if BadBoy and other similar posts could auto merge into an overarching ‘over 30 female outrage’ thread

I can imagine what you are describing to negatively impact a good male-female dynamic in the long term.

The male needs to be running the show in the relationship. In too many relationships, it's the female running the show and the male is putting aside his natural male leadership in order to appease the female.

Middle-aged women are shacked up with younger men.

It's as if after getting married, having children, and ruining one or more men, they're now looking for someone in a "virgin" situation to do it all over again.

It doesn't matter if Alba is rich or has status at 44. All she needs is to be beautiful and juicy.

No man is going to commit to an older woman late 30s or above, single mother, overweight woman, or ugly woman very easily if he wants children.

My personal perspective on this is that if that woman is respectful and caring, is better than a childless women that show you no respect.

She looks okay for a woman her age in those carefully curated photographs (and certainly better than "wine mom" Jessica Alba). But surely Ryan Gosling, at the height of his career, could do much better than that?? He was literally one the most desirable men in the world at the time. Him dating Eva Mendes is like a billionaire buying a 2014 Honda Accord because it's still in pretty good shape.

He could. But, do we know more about Ryan preferences? He may like older women.

rigid in your belief's

Well said, that's my point too

 

[HaleyBaron]

Tough crowd! Lol

Ryan and Eva Mendes are actually married, got married in 2022. She stopped acting to take care of their kids which goes to her focus on family versus her career.

I thought you guys valued that!

Anyway at 51, she's still very attractive, below are recent pics.

The voice of low expectations and standards.

For men, sex is a more urgent need than commitment or having children with a woman. As a result, men will pursue sex and then leave in some period of time after sex happens. Men with higher SMVs would leave sooner.

A lot of men go for women older than they are due to having lower SMV. These men might stick around longer with an older women, but there's a good chance that a lot of them won't commit.

In developed nations, there are a lot of blue pill ideology beta male simps out there. Some will commit to single moms and other past their prime women.

My philosophy has always been, men who go for older women do so for sex and only for sex. To them, they are looking to get women are who less maintenance and should be easier and mature to deal with.

This is where the misunderstanding comes up for them. They mistake older age in women for older age in men. Women don't mature anymore after 25, and it shows in the mentality of women as old as 90 who still act like they are in their younger years with how they treat people and put on makeup. Same deal, just older body. In that, using women for anything more than sex [which means they shouldnt even be committing to them] is a recipe for disaster.

My personal perspective on this is that if that woman is respectful and caring, is better than a childless women that show you no respect.

Women are only respectful and caring when they want your commitment and your attention. That switches around fast. Faster for older women cause they always are struck with self esteem issues because they know there's younger and more fertile women you can get at anytime. They will project that insecurity onto the man and make his life a living hell. Seen it way too many times. Way too many times. Young fertile women are actually less maintenance due to this fact.

Thoughts?

just cause they are rich and famous dont mean they dont know any better. one advantage of being a "nobody" is we were forced to learn this stufff.

 

[DJ Novice]

I have found older women to carry much more emotional baggage/trauma from all their previous relationships.

They also tend to have much higher and often deluded expectations of what to expect from a relationship owing to the simp epidemic.

Many still see themselves as the prize even though their looks, weight etc may be fading or are no longer what they used to be.

Buyer beware.

Unless we're among those unfortunate enough to be vexed with an ailment such as https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlequin-type_ichthyosis , EVERYONE has more wear and tear(both physical and psychological)now, after a few decades on the planet, than we did as newborns

Reminds me of the following retrospective https://bestmoviesbyfarr.com/actors/the-private-struggles-of-the-debonair-james-mason/ , namely what's said about both his marriages, neither of which were nearly as majestic as JM's career

As you say, developing a single-minded devotion to a solitary subject(be it the craft of acting, or the goal of becoming a Fortune 500 CEO)at a very young age has it's fair share of drawbacks. Being woefully ignorant of everything else in life included

Seen in this light, it's really NOT surprising that the personal lives of so many accomplished artists and businessmen are, by all objective standard, a fu-king wreck

 

[Smok1nAce]

the relationship is probably fake

the wall for women is menopause

 

[Travel memoir21]

The Truth of the matter is, you don't know if this is a real authentic relationship or not, those guys in Hollywood or The White House's relationships might be dictated, forced or cohersed by their evil managers or higher ups. They just can't date a hot chick or guy working in Burger King, they need the approval of their bosses hang or be with this person or whatever. They have handlers watching their backs 24/7, it's not as glamourous as you think it is.

 

[justaroundthecorner]

The guy is C or D tier Hollywood actor (I did not remember him being in Maverick or in any other Hollywood movie).

She was A tier at some point and hot AF - it is possible he had a crush / lot of sexual fantasies about her when he was a teen but ATM she is several years from being an old women with not bad skin covering older body.

Truth to be told, I would not go after her being my age - she is in "fully exhausted gold mine" category - my guess is he had a LOT of sexual fantasies about her, she has to be at least good in bed and perhaps he hopes for some direct or indirect career boost - otherwise I have no idea what younger guy is doing with older woman being mother of 3 - it's like going for simp medal.

 

[BaronOfHair]

She was A tier at some point...

The "height" of JA's stardom was during Dark Angel's truncated run in the very early 2000s: By time the middle of that decade rolled around, she was already being written off as a has-been who arguably never quite was, and yet another attractive girl who's ability to play a scene was more unremarkable The Pentagon's capacity to bring peace to The Near East. She was never A-List

In a pre-online world, JA would've been no less forgotten by time the 10s rolled around than Stephanie Zimbalist was by time The 90s rolled around
