Men are hunters, with a preference for uncharted territory. Enter: young women (no pun intended HA!). Youth in women connotes fertility, and if a man can plant that seed in prime fecund soil, so much the better. 83YO Al Pacino shares a son with his under-30YO baby mama … as a high school senior the …
