Oh yeah, I read that story too. But, as you say, he is Mick Jagger, an icon to several generations and still playing naughty and dangerous very well past his prime. There are also some former celebrities who time and fellow men didn't treat equally well. When I was in Malta a colleague told me he saw football legend George Best (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Best), himself quite the womanizer during his young years, making a scene unworthy of his former glory.
The story goes that George Best is at this posh London restaurant rented for a private social. He is only early 50s and in pretty sorry state, due to a lifetime of alcohol abuse as I learn, and he is with a pretty ordinary woman in her 40s. He is standing in the lounge having a cocktail, barely recognised by the other patrons. At some point someone next to him stares him and his lady friend down, pulls a smirk and says "Oi, Best, that the best ya can do?". Best through his cocktail on him and started a train of cussword and commotion, ending with him, the guy who verbally abused him and a couple of others being thrown out of the venue. My friend wasn't obviously allowed out but, the following morning, he learned that the fight had continued for a good 20 minutes more, outside, until the police arrived, filed a report and escorted the loud mouthed guy to the station.
I think that man was a right idiot, to humiliate a former football legend in public, and fully deserved Best's rage. There's also the feeling that, of those rich and famous p***y magnets whose conquests would make the tabloids, most are simply forgotten and revert to living an ordinary life and date the kinds of ordinary women any man in their 50s would date.
By then, Best had lost his money, this is why the likes of little Bernie Eccleston and Philip Green and Flavio Braitore still can date and impregnate supermodels - you know Briatore - I am sure he is quite famous for being the ultimate Italian stallion despite being old, fat, bald and ugly - he impregnated two supermodels and married a third... if he was a binman he wouldn't have got near any of them but it is easy to charm a supermodel if you can whisk her away on a helicopter for lunch in Paris.
Even among the rich and famous, not everybody is Brad Pitt. I suspect there are far more "George Best" than "Mick Jagger" around, whatever our dreams or persistent masculinity want to make up.
Best had lost his money then. I am sure he wasn't living off scraps but he certainly wasn't be anyones standards 'rich' when he was a young man he had it all, when he was past middle aged he had next to nothing except for his fame and his reputation.
If a man in his 50s or 60s gets a good looking girl who's half or a third his age, more power to them indeed! I saw the Middle Eastern, the Serbian/Croatians, the Greeks, the Turks, the Albanians and the Russians with hot girls all the time in Malta. Until a few months ago I would see decrepit Chinese, Japanese and Korean aplenty with hotties that don't always fit the "poor Filipina" stereotype. I imagine that many of them are perfectly OK with the reasons why their young partnerds stick around: being treated to luxury holidays in exotic places, dined and wined at top restaurants, expensive gifts and a lifestyle that only money, a lot of money, can buy. Yes, most of them will have sex with them while they get pampered but they also probably have boyfriends and younger lovers whose company and s*x they actually enjoy.
They will have money! All those things cost money, that's my point. It's OK for a man like Briatore to be charming when he has a private helicopter to whisk him and his date wherever he wants and if he binned the Italian actress
he is with now, there will be a queue of young women to take her place.
I actually know someone who looks like Brad Pitt, an American from California (nice fella!) and he has married a nice looking woman (a hapa!) but if he divorced her and wanted to go and find a woman like the German model who is actually dating Brad Pitt - he wouldn't get anything like her - because when a woman is that beautiful they usually elevate their status and their position, they're not found amongst 'janitors' to use the example of Marcos, not saying there's not pretty/attractive women for working class guys because of course there are but competition is fierce and this is where good looks and genes come into play BUT even if you look like a film star - those amazing beauties are simply not there in society if you are working or even middle class (though there are more of them there in middle class society). Those kinds of beautiful women have choices with men with enough wealth and means who want the likes of them on their arm.
The man gets sex once in a while and, most importantly, the "optics" of being spotted hand in hand with someone who looks a hot version of their granddaughters. Said granddaughters get spoiled and probably go back to their young studs for "passionate" lovemaking whenever they can or want.
But then I think we should distinguish these escort/sugar baby scenarios from the scenarios of men of that age range (45-65) wanting to genuinely enjoy the company and love of a much younger woman, even if she is not exactly the model type but, perhaps, has better qualities for a long-term relationship. As half of this forum members say, and also by what I have seen so far, I think the Philippines and maybe some South American countries are great places to find such girls.
This is a lot different, an older man with a nice younger girl in some far away land is somewhat common - in Asia, Latin America and Africa because the financial bar is lower - in Europe and the States - the financial bar is far higher but the same situation exists everywhere, people don't like it though - especially other men, because they're jealous, past-it-single-mums hate it because these men who they would look down upon are cheating the system - because even though they're not the amazing beauties Brad Pitt and friends are able to get, they're still an improvement on the woman they can get back home - if at all.
Past glory and fame without money means very little if anything at all when it comes to getting a top class female that Brad Pitt is still capable of seducing.
