3 Reasons Demi Moore (Obviously) Loves Younger Men

There's no doubt in our minds that Demi Moore looks smokin' hot for 50 years old. However, does that mean she should still be dating men young enough to be her son?

In 1980, the actress married rocker Freddy Moore, which is how she got her name. After five years, the two split. Shortly after, Demi moved on to one of our favorite men ever, Bruce Willis, who was only seven years older than her. The two had three beautiful daughters Rumer, Scout and Tallulah together and were married for a successful 13 years before divorcing.

Then she met Ashton Kutcher who was 13 years younger than her. They fell in love and got married in 2005, but after six years, the pair separated and are now in the middle of a divorce. So, it's no surprise that Demi has once again, found a man a tad younger. At least she's balanced—she spent half of her life married to older men and now she's spending the second half chasing the younger ones. Sources say that at 50, Demi has been spending time with Vito Schnabel, a 26-year-old dapper art dealer. So, why'd she switch it up and move to the younger side of men? Here's what we assume:

1.  She's insecure.  You never know what propels a cougar, but we're guessing since the demise of her relationship to Ashton Kutcher, we've found out just how insecure Demi Moore can be. For instance, she was seen grinding up on her new boy toy and a source told the New York Post that the pair was a “wildly age-inappropriate pair." She loves younger men because she's too insecure to date men in her age group. They can't offer her what a young 'stud' can. The article considers Schnabel "the cougar tamer" as he's been linked to many older women over the years. Grinding? Really, Demi?

2. She wants to remain youthful.  Demi dates younger men as a way to feel more youthful and relate to a group she is no longer a part of. She once commented that the secret to her youthful life was laughter. When she turned 47, she told People she thinks of herself as "being about 5." Maybe her deeply youthful feelings make her more attracted to younger men. Demi and Ashton always made time to have fun together, which a younger man can do much easier than an older one. (Or so Demi must think.) Being with a younger man illuminates an older woman's energy as we have previously seen with all her fun dates with Ashton. We wonder what new and exhilarating dates the art dealer will take her on! Despite her cougar status (a nickname which makes her uncomfortable) we're happy she's back on the romance seen. Is it revenge or pure pleasure?

3. She enjoys the power. Demi is more experienced than many younger men out there, so she feels good teaching them a thing or two about life. According to People, Ashton once said that it is a man's job to compliment a woman, not upstage her.  While we agree with this, it definitely gave Demi more power to never be upstaged. Dating this new, younger man is quite the power play for her; he's younger than Ashton's new romantic partner (and sexiest woman) Mila Kunis! So what will she teach her new boyfriend and will he compliment her for the duration of the romance the way Ashton seemed to blend with her?

We love Demi Moore don't get us wrong, but do you think it's okay for a Mom to date within her daughter's age range?
