Bill Maher Defends Dating Younger Women

Bill Maher, 68, recently defended his preference for dating younger women during a guest appearance on the 'Fly on the Wall' podcast, humorously suggesting he would star in a reality show version of 'The Golden Bachelor' with 'age-inappropriate' women. He stated, "The appropriate age for a relationship is one that works," and criticized societal double standards, noting that women's relationships with younger men are often seen as empowering while men's are labeled as perverse. This discussion arose after Maher was spotted with Al Pacino's 30-year-old ex-girlfriend, Noor Alfallah, although he did not name her directly. Maher and his co-hosts, Dana Carvey and David Spade, also touched on other high-profile age-gap relationships in Hollywood, such as those involving Madonna and Cher. He dismissed critics of his dating choices, asserting that everyone should pursue what works for them without judgment. The conversation highlighted broader themes about age, power dynamics, and societal perceptions of relationships in the entertainment industry.
