It doesn’t go over most men’s heads.
Jeff Bezos is 61, he has 4 children, he is CEO of one of the biggest companies in the world. For a CEO to be in stable committed relationship is good for the company, investors like stability and normalcy as they don’t get spooked. For him to married or in a relationship with a hot 32 year old, it wouldn’t work as part of his image. For him to bounce around from girl to girl wouldn’t work either. He also doesn’t need any more children and his sex drive isn’t that high, he just wants a woman he gets along with better than others and kisses him OK. He found Lauren Sanchez. Men aren’t surprised by this at all.
What men don’t get is when a 32 year actor, good height, good hair, some money, no kids, starring in decent movies, cannot get with a younger hoitey girl with 0 kids and 0 marriages. He has to get with 44 year old divorced mother of 3 kids has been actress. I doubt their connect is so deep and pure and loving that he “has to have her”
You said it yourself, it’s likely a PR stunt to help his career, but come one buddy, do the rest of us a solid and get with Sydney, a younger and hotter and firmer and purer actress.
Getting a 44 year old mother, even Sosuave members aren’t proud of that.
