40-Year-Old Man Sets The Internet Ablaze With Controversial Tweet Urging People To Only Date Women Under 24
Controversial love advice.
Ben, a 40-year-old man with a loud Twitter account, managed to turn one spicy take into a full-blown internet firestorm. His controversial tweet basically urged people to only date women under 24, and he didn’t exactly whisper it.
What made it messy was how quickly other users dragged him, not just for the age talk, but for the people behind the photos. Netizens claimed “these accounts” hire sex workers to hang out, take pictures, and then get posted, with one commenter saying half the women on the “boat” were over 30.
And once Ben started replying, the whole thing stopped being a debate and became a public meltdown, with everyone waiting to see how far he would go.
Ben drew attention to himself online after he went on Twitter to brag about his taste for younger women, while encouraging others to follow his lead

@shadesofgame / Twitter.comNetizens found his Tweet appalling:
“The guys behind these accounts hire us (sex workers) to hang out with them and take pictures, lmao. Half the women on that boat were over 30.”

“Most of the girls you post here are PartyAsians or solid 3s.”

Even with the backlash, Ben tried justifying his actions

As the heat kept coming, he kept responding to other users

It also echoes the AITA story where unsolicited dating advice sparked a breakup.
“I’m here to help men, the large majority of whom are clueless on how to have success with women.”

According to Ben, the images are real and not as most people think

“They are laughing at you, bro, not with you; they can't even look you in the eyes. You are full of it.”

“This is one of the saddest things I've seen on here. Dorks getting money to buy what they missed out on.”

“Having to pay young women in order to get laid and have company isn't quite the flex you think it is.”

“You are 40 and still dating; when you meet someone you want to settle down with, then talk about it.”

“Younger women are easier to manipulate and impress. When you're a beta male, it's only normal to go for the younger girls.”

“I'm 40 and don't date girls with hands. My girlfriends always have 5 fingers.”

That’s when the replies turned from “yikes” to accusations, including claims that Ben’s images were connected to hired sex workers and not the innocent fantasy he implied.
Next came the nastier tags, with Ben being called a “Predator,” while others mocked his posts as filled with “PartyAsians” and “solid 3s.”
Even with the backlash piling up, Ben kept insisting he was “helping men,” while arguing the women in the photos were real and that critics were the ones getting played.
By the time he fired back with jabs about “beta male” behavior and even criticized someone for “hands,” the ageist premise was basically buried under his own replies.
In the aftermath of Ben's controversial tweet, the online community rallied against his ageist and misogynistic viewpoint, calling out the glaring flaws in his stance. However, Ben continued to defend his lifestyle choices, seemingly missing the larger societal message being conveyed.
Perhaps the silver lining in this viral debacle is the collective decision of the online community to challenge and reject such outdated and harmful perspectives.

Now Ben’s stuck defending a tweet that got him labeled, dragged, and roasted so hard he barely noticed the bigger point.
Wondering if you should tell a friend their “only date under 24” rule is creepy? Read this debate about being honest with a friend’s dating choices.
