Men 10 years ago that couldn't get a date or find a companion and become wealthy at 50 yrs old and all the sudden they are irresistible to to young women....... listen I dont like it either but to take the ostrich approach and pretend it is not a common normal is just uninformed and frankly a poor take.

I will continue to proudly use the term "gold digger" since it is an all to common occurence.....
Guy describes transactional relationship between older rich dude and young attractive woman, both of whom are consenting adults that understand the nature of the relationship.

Guy applies derogatory term, and the stigma related to that term, to just one party of the relationship, the woman.

Guy makes no comment on the responsibility of the other party in the relationship, the man, or their, presumably less than purely romantic, intentions.

Guy wonders why it might be considered misogynistic.

Am I all caught up?
