Yes but thats what I am saying. There is a double standard on the way these things are perceived by men and women.
In male gender culture its perfectly acceptable and normal to hit on or date much younger women. It doesn't occasion much comment.
It occasions more comment when a woman would do it. (not that I care) so I think you are looking at it from a woman's point of view.
I am not saying he is not creepy lol . . its just that he's not intrinsically creepy just for hitting on her lol.
And as far as "shoulds and woulds" they are kind of arbitray as well social illusions.
Also a lot of who we date depends on our access to members of the opposite sex . . and I guess same sex lol. If he is always around younger girls. . . guess what his target is?
Men will generally hit on any available attractive female. He is not going to avoid hitting on an available female he finds attractive because of her age.

Yeah, but really, should a 40 year old man be hitting on a 25 year old woman? I know that I could have been very wrong, and the woman in question could be a young looking 30-something, but really, the 40 year old guy is always seen at events that are for those who are slightly younger. At 40, he should be settled (I have heard that he's never married). But then again, I'm not his mom, so I shouldn't be complaining!
