By most people’s standards, Anthony Kiedis has lived through several lifetimes’ worth of sex, drugs, and funk n’ roll. At the age of 43, he looks not unlike the 20-something that attracted so many female eyes (and ears) to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Certainly, it didn’t hurt much that the band used to perform live shows wearing only strategically-placed socks, but the band has always possessed a fair amount of sex appeal.
Unfortunately, it seems that Anthony has entered that phase of life fondly known as the midlife crisis era. His defense mechanism of choice seems to be a 20 year old young woman named Heather Christie, who undeniably looks to be in her young teens. An age gap is certainly not insurmountable since Heather isn’t exactly underage, but in these photos, the couple certainly seems to enjoy playing up their age difference in a daddy & daughter sort of frightening way. The right photo is obviously NSFW.

gotta disagree with you here a.b.
EVERY guy, let me repeat EVERY SINGLE STRAIGHT GUY IN THE WORLD would be screwing a 20 year old that looked that good if they could get one to screw them. If you got it going on enough, through talent or looks or money or just pure personality to screw 20 year old, more power to you.
There is absolutely zero wrong with it. Here’s something else to chew on: older women have baggage, they have life damage, and they like to talk about it endlessly, and apply it to every real life situation that occurs in the present, and it infects their life and drags you into their nightmare.
Guys, by and large, are less inclined to drag their current gf into past horrors. The younger the girl is, the less likely they have had loads of crappy relationships to bore you with or compare you to, less likely to have bad marriages, babies, etc. I’m sympathetic to mental and physical abuse, I really am, but I don’t want to hear about it constantly and I don’t want it to be part of the totality or my relationship with a woman. I also don’t want to hear about how all men are alike and be lumped in with a woman beater or date rapist because I came home late and didn’t call.
That’s why I, in my admitted mid-30’s, tend to date 20-24 year olds. They are just, in my experience, a lot more easy going, easy to get along with and less likely to let past damage fuck their head up. I can walk away from past bad relationships, hurt but wiser and move on, in my experience, woman can’t. They bear those scars and inflict that pain on their S.O.’s.
Now this is going to smart ladies, but the other matter is the fact that gravity is harder on women then on men. Plus, right or wrong, men are perceived as looking good older than women. Age is tougher on a woman. Guys may be more looks-oriented, its a shame, but its true. A 30+ year old is never again going to have tits like that girl in that pic. If you can get a girl with a body you can bounce quarters off, with no stretch marks, cellulite, old ugly tattoos, etc, then hey, wtf is wrong with that?
You can crack on the fact that men look terrible over 30 also- that’s true, but if we over-30-40 guys can find a 20 year old that likes us, you’re gonna have to live with that and lump it. Its just easier for guys to do that than visa-versa. Life ain’t fair.
God bless you and keep you and your new ho, Anthony. I understand totally. Give it away man!
While I appreciate the vigor of your argument :mrgreen:, it’s not the age difference that really makes me uneasy. It’s the exaggeration of the underage concept that is being flaunted in this instance…the outfit on the left…the riding on daddy’s shoulders thing in the middle picture.
Ick.
Huh. I was ok until I read your first comment. Sheesh. I’ll just keep my mouth shut now.
I think it’s borderline weird, but perhaps I’m simply jealous. I do not, however, think so.
doc weasel - I was actually thinking of writing a post to articulate this next statement, but I don’t wish to risk sounding like Jackie Paisley Whatsername.
so you’ll just have to take my word that LOTS of men carry around baggage. maybe you’re just lucky that you don’t have any, but any man who is divorced will have some sort of resentment or major insecurity bubbling under the surface. they may think it’s not bloody obvious, but it is. that’s usually been a signal to me that a second date is to be avoided at all costs.
a.b. I agree, men are by no means immune, however, I aver they are _less_ likely to be fucked up by past events, while women seem to apply all past events to all future relationships. I just go by my experience. Younger girls seem less damaged is all.
I was just trying to throw in a conversation stimulator, in an argumentative mood anyway. You know I’m actually holding out for you, not some 20 year old punker girl

Well….if I saw a 43 year old man that looked as good as Kiedis does…I’d jump all over it.
Although, I do have to agree that that middle picture is a little ick…and we know what these two are doing, do we really need to see it i.e. photo on the right.
When I was 20, I wouldn’t have dated a 43 year old guy, but then again I have never seen a guy that age who looked that good. I probably would have just had him buy beer for me.
EVERY SINGLE STRAIGHT GUY IN THE WORLD would be screwing a 20 year old

Hmmmm. Project much? I know plenty of straight men who can’t be bothered with unencumbered-by-”baggage” (some would say, haven’t lived long enough; others might say “naive”) young girls. Just sayin’, dude.
Besides, how did a thing about Anthony Kiedis turn into an opportunity to bash women, anyway?
AB - The tattoos. Yeccccchhhhhh. The stringy hair. He does nothing for me. (Of course, I’m not a star-struck 20 year-old, either. Baggage, or something.)
He’s also into Kabbalah, which also screams mid-life crisis. I agree that it’s wrong to date a 20 year-old when you’re 43. There are worse examples, but it’s still wrong.
Um…has no one noticed that “Marlo Thomas/That Girl” flippy hairdo he’s got going???
For the record, I didn’t much care for 20-24-year-old girls when I was 20-24. And in fact, I tended to date (slightly) older women during most of that time in my life.
To each his own, by all means. But not all guys are the same.
I thought the reason was the same as the punchline to another joke: because he can.
Oh, gawd. A “Hello Kitty” purse and you had to EXPLAIN the flaunting of the age difference?
Jesus.
who gives a fuck!!! who gives a fuck about age? i mean if two people like eachother, get along with each other n are in love, then why should age be a problem? age [not in all surcumstances] is mearly a number. i say “not in all surcumstances” becaus there is a difference when a person is really underage and is perhaps being used or abused by an older person but becaus of their age, is mayby blind to the fact that they are. but anyway the way i see it is that she could be going out with a guy the same age as her, that could be physically or mentally abusing her. people need to rember this is the 21st century not all couples have to be the same age, race, religion. ect
