Also the rumours about the 23 year old started because someone has made an assumption (on here) that because the "friend" of the girl is 23 that the girl, herself, must be 23. When people can have friends of all ages.
Also for a hook-up, I'm not even that surprised/shocked, to be honest. I doubt he's looking to seriously date someone so much younger-but for a hook-up, I'm not that alarmed.
I also don't think it's that big of a deal if he is chatting up women in their mid-20s for hook ups? Like, they're not children, and I'm not saying I'd love it if he turned into Leo DiCaprio but all the women he's been publicly seen with dating have all been age-appropriate-late 20s to 30s.
I literally was dating this guy recently that I met on bumble and he was 34 and he asked me how low I put my age requirements on bumble. And I told him for me personally I only go down 5 years but up 10. And he was like I go down to 22 and up to 36…..that’s just how men do it. It’s gross sometimes but they are men.
joe seems to have a good head on his shoulders and good supportive friends and family. If they were concerned they would probably make it known. But it’s also not our business.
