SAFFRON and Chuck met on Hinge in 2023; Saffron was searching for an older guy, saw Chuck and loved his beard so swiped and matched him. Chuck couldn't quite believe his luck and thought that Saffron might be scamming him. They got to know each other over the phone while Saffron was on a solo trip in Africa. When she returned, they met in person. Saffron went to his house and he made her food. It was so good she never left after that. The couple moved in together at the end of 2023 and they have been together for a few years now. But not everyone has been accepting of their love, especially due to the age gap. Saffron has close friends she has fallen out with because they did not approve of her relationship, so she decided to drop them as mates.They also face a lot of backlash on social media, after starting an account for their relationship, they made one on TikTok and it blew up. People comment on Chuck’s appearance calling her partner a 'dork' and a 'nerd' and accusing Saffron of 'using him for his money'.

00:00My name is Gita, and this is my man, Chuck.
00:03The trolls say that I'm too nerdy for this beautiful goddess.
00:07I think if we weren't a different race, people would think that she's my daughter.
00:10Hello?
00:11Hi!
00:12She's like, I decide to date someone a little older.
00:15I'm like, oh, okay.
00:17Hmm.
00:18Disapproving comments.
00:20We get quite a few of those.
00:23People calling me a sugar baby.
00:26I'm 25 years old.
00:28I am about to turn 41 years old.
00:31We met on Hinge.
00:34I turned the numbers up a little bit on it, and I found him, and I thought that he looked really handsome.
00:41I think what first got me was the beard, for sure.
00:46She's just beautiful.
00:47I mean, so it's hard to not be attracted to her.
00:51I thought she was a scam account at first.
00:53I was shocked that a 25-year-old would be interested in an old guy like me.
00:58I think when I really realized that there was something more there was when I realized that she did a lot of the volunteer work with wildlife.
01:08An animal lover is a must for me.
01:10I think third or fourth date, maybe, she came over for dinner, and I had cooked for her, and it was game over, I think.
01:18It was just so delicious, I never left.
01:20That's what I like to say.
01:23You ready?
01:24Did you get a good workout?
01:26Good.
01:27Let's go home.
01:28My friend Jalen's coming over.
01:31I've told him all about Chuck.
01:32He just hasn't met him in person yet.
01:34I've known Gita now almost five years.
01:37I mean, we both met each other at a club, and ever since we just hit it off, she's like,
01:42I decided to date someone a little older.
01:45I'm like, oh, okay.
01:47Hmm.
01:49Oh, that breeze feels nice.
01:51I'm very protective of my friend, and I don't want someone to control them or keep them under their finger.
01:58Are you nervous?
01:59I'm a little nervous.
02:00He was a little skeptical, so you've got to impress them.
02:04Sure.
02:05Well, hello.
02:07Hi.
02:08Hey, girl.
02:09Well, nice to meet you, sir.
02:10Nice to meet you.
02:11How are you?
02:12Fine, fine, fine.
02:12How are you today?
02:13I'm doing good.
02:15She's told me a lot about you.
02:16I hope it's all good, thanks.
02:18Very interesting place.
02:20So, how are things?
02:22How's life?
02:23It's been good.
02:24I guess I should probably start with maybe, like, what you thought, like, what your first thoughts were.
02:32I'm not going to lie, it was a bit of a surprise.
02:33Because, again, when people say, oh, I want to date an older man, I'm like, oh, what, three, four, five years at least?
02:40And you're like, no, just a little bit older.
02:43And I'm like, how old?
02:46I think our age difference is about 15 years, right?
02:50Just over 15 years is what our age difference is.
02:53I think if we weren't a different race, people would think that she's my daughter a lot of times.
02:58It's funny, too, because being an Indian woman, I'm just kind of naturally petite.
03:03People kind of, like, see us and I think probably think that the age difference is, like, way more than what it actually is.
03:11Again, I will say I was a little concerned.
03:13Yeah, that's understandable, I feel like.
03:18Have you ever dated a younger woman before?
03:22Not typically, no.
03:24I usually stay probably within, like, five years.
03:29So this is something new to you, I would say.
03:33Yeah, something definitely, like, new to him, new to me as well.
03:37It doesn't feel so different between us because we feel so equal and we treat each other as equals.
03:46He doesn't treat me like I'm some 25-year-old who doesn't know anything at all.
03:53He treats me like a woman.
03:54She's not a 25-year-old woman to me.
03:56She's my woman.
03:57And that's what's the best part about it.
04:00Oh, I want to kiss you so bad for my lip gloss.
04:05Were you expecting me to be like, I mean, a polo, some shorts.
04:12You pull it off well, I'd say.
04:13A lot of the stuff that I get is that she can do so much better than me, that I look like I'm 60.
04:21I don't think I look like I'm 60.
04:22No.
04:23I see you guys post, like, all the time on your social media about yourself, but how do people feel about that?
04:29Obviously, you know, with that stuff comes a lot of negative comments, and we've definitely gotten our fair share of those.
04:36So this person says, why not find a girl of your age?
04:42She is a young girl of color, and he is an old white man with a thing towards barely legal girls.
04:48And I'm 25 years old.
04:49I didn't realize barely legal was seven years.
04:52And this one we've gotten out on the streets, too, is like, how much did you buy her for?
04:58So, like, the mail order, like, I just went in the catalog, found her, and then brought her over from India, you know, like, yesterday.
05:07I feel like we get a lot of judgmental comments, mostly from people of, like, my race.
05:11You know, colonialism at its finest.
05:14And it's so funny because I was the one that swiped on him.
05:19I was the one that swiped first.
05:21Some people are, like, also questioning, but mostly everyone's kind of coming to our defense.
05:28They're saying, like, what does him being white have to do with anything?
05:33I was adopted at a very young age.
05:35My adoptive parents are white, and I grew up, like, in a small town in Kentucky, you know?
05:40And so all of the people around me were obviously just predominantly white.
05:46Both are mature, consenting adults who love each other, therefore absolutely nothing wrong with it.
05:52The online stuff, it's just somebody behind a keyboard, you know?
05:54I mean, these people...
05:56And it's all just assumptions.
05:58Haters are just free publicity, in my opinion.
06:00Exactly, exactly.
06:01You still get the views.
06:02You still get the views, and that's all that matters.
06:05Yeah.
06:05You know, really, at the end of the day, all they are is just...
06:08They're just jealous.
06:09...made-up narratives.
06:10Yeah.
06:11They're just jealous that you are a happy couple, and they're just like, ugh, I wish I was that happy.
06:17Like, you know, just go out, take a gamble that love exists in the world.
06:23And find something real, something that makes you happy.
06:25Yeah.
06:26It doesn't matter what the age is, or what race, or, you know, ethnicity you are.
06:30Just find someone for you.
06:33Yeah.
06:33It's so nice to see you smile.
06:35Like, oh, since I even want to walk through the room, I just notice every time you look at him, he just makes you smile.
06:42I'm very, like, protective of my friends.
06:44Like, I care about her well-being, if she's happy, if she's being taken care of by someone that cares about her.
06:50I can see that you bring nothing but joy and happiness into her life.
06:55And if you go traveling, send me your postcard, please.
06:58It gets boring down here without you, girl.
07:00I miss you.
07:02It was nice to see you again.
07:03Come here, love.
07:04Come on.
07:04It was nice to see you, too.
07:05It's always nice seeing you.
07:07Now, Chuck, come on.
07:08I'm a hugger.
07:08Can't help it.
07:09Come here.
07:10A few of the things I love most about Chuck is how gentle and caring and patient he is with me.
07:19He's protective because he cares about me, not because he thinks it makes him look good.
07:25I love you, sweetheart.
07:27I love you.
07:27Like, I wish he knew how much it improved my life, experiencing that level of gentleness and compassion from someone else.
07:41Ah.
07:42If you're judging our love, I don't think you found it yourself.
07:52Because once you have this level of love, you wouldn't have the ability to judge it.
07:59Yeah.
07:59I hope everyone finds themselves a Chuck.
08:02I think everyone needs a Chuck in their life.
08:04I think everyone deserves a Keith.
08:12I think everyone needs a Chuck in their life.
