Why do people care so much about her love life?

This message has been deleted by an administrator

Reading all of this, my opinion hasn't changed. I still think that what AnnaSophia does in her private life is none of our business. Who cares about who she's dating? As long as it's legal and consensual, I don't think it's something any third party should really be invested in.

I think that a lot of people falsely believe that celebrity personal life are their business.

AnnaSophia is in a relationship with a man who is, give or take, about ten years older than her.
To help with your notes, Adam is actually "give or take" 15 years older than AnnaSophia. She is now 21 years of age and he surpassed 35 in July.

concerned about the significant age difference.
Not me.

Fans are concerned that her boyfriend may have influenced her to change her plans
I doubt her boyfriend would be the one reason she'd change where she would be spending the next four years of her life. Just saying.
Simply, there are a lot of connectable coincidences: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1455681/board/nest/233834520?d=234179709#23 4179709

Acknowledged and respected, though that's not everyone's mentality, including her's. AnnaSophia has shared dozens of her actions, thoughts, feelings, and so forth via Websites, social media, magazines/news interviews, etc, which indeed influence others' decisions, sometimes intentionally. However, of course, such behavior doesn't deny a right to keep whatever she wants private, nor insistently allow anyone else to make her choices.

So, why should anyone have interest in Robb's actions and make any kind of attempt to impact them?

Well, let's begin here:
Who cares about who she's dating?
Me.

Why? Because Adam is a horrible person, undeserving of everyone's trust and compassion. At first, his behavior was no doubt similar to the rest of us, just a person trying to succeed in life's many aspects. Nevertheless, there should no longer be empathy/sympathy for his behavior/intent.

In general, Cobb is selfishly deceitful, moronic, arrogant, and egotistical, traits blatantly exhibited in his FYC campaign through incoherent as well as self-centered blurbs and images meant to appear profound.

Regarding his connection to AnnaSophia... Isn't the immoral foundation of their relationship, i.e., he prayed on a client for personal gain, enough to create dissatisfaction for all: fans, friends, and AnnaSophia? If not, how about the obvious fact that Robb is deserving of someone respected, or perhaps even admirable? -- Adam makes infomercial hosts look like civilization changing geniuses. Basically, no one should be "dating" the dumbass.

With all that said, I still need to state the most important reason.

I care about AnnaSophia's behavior because she has been an inspiration, someone to admire, and I don't want that personality to fade away, be destroyed, what have you. Therefore, as I've seen Robb hang out with selfish, shallow-brained want-to-bes, entrust her well-being to a narcissistic nitwit, feel she's only important if she's fashionable, and relinquishing rationale thought, I do indeed have a strong passion to kindly intervene, even if it probably will never cause a result. -- It's a similar reaction to seeing a friend or respected family member struggle. Your aim is to provide assistance, not take command.

In closing, I wish to repeat how I still applaud AnnaSophia's accomplishments, admire her still respectable level of selflessness, and enjoy her incredible acting skills as well as occasional goofiness, adventurous, and upbeat attitude.

W-a-a-a!..W-a-a-a!..How do you like it?!?..W-a-a-a!

Fair. To be honest, I do think that the age difference does say something, though I think it says more about him than it does her. If Adam Cobb is in his mid thirties, then he should be finding someone a bit closer to his own age. He's at a time in his life where many people his age are settled down, oftentimes with children, and he's dating a college student. Kind of a loser-y move there, Adam. That being said, AnnaSophia is of the age of consent, and if she has any common sense at all, then she's definitely going to be aware of the age difference between them. It obviously doesn't bother her enough if she's with him.

Simply, there are a lot of connectable coincidences:

I did read that thread before posting mine, and I do think that staying with her boyfriend was probably a big factor in her decision to stay in New York. Regardless, I can think of a few good reasons to choose NYU over Stanford that don't have to do with Adam:

1. Although Palo Alto has better weather, NYC has more things to offer, both culturally and creatively.
2. NYU is much more liberal arts/creative arts focused as opposed to Stanford, which, based on my knowledge and the people I know who have considered going there, is more STEM focused.
3. Being in NYC gives her more chances to work if she wants to.

I'm not saying that she didn't consider her boyfriend as she made her decision. I'm just saying that there are advantages to NYU. Name recognition shouldn't be the deciding factor in all of this.

Acknowledged and respected, though that's not everyone's mentality, including her's. AnnaSophia has shared dozens of her actions, thoughts, feelings, and so forth via Websites, social media, magazines/news interviews, etc, which indeed influence others' decisions, sometimes intentionally. However, of course, such behavior doesn't deny a right to keep whatever she wants private, nor insistently allow anyone else to make her choices.

Likewise, I acknowledge and respect your point. That being said, she's not flaunting her personal life incessantly. If she's having problems with friends, family, or Adam, we don't know about it. What we do know about her life is things that she has chosen to share with the media.

Why? Because Adam is a horrible person, undeserving of everyone's trust and compassion. At first, his behavior was no doubt similar to the rest of us, just a person trying to succeed in life's many aspects. Nevertheless, there should no longer be empathy/sympathy for his behavior/intent.

Okay, after I read this, I looked at the guy's Instagram, and he seems like a douche, and not a particularly bright one at that. (On the other hand, his lack of maturity may make the two's relationship a lot easier.) But I don't know the guy personally. For all I know, he's a sweetheart.

Regarding his connection to AnnaSophia...

Basically, no one should be "dating" the dumbass.

When it comes to his relationship with AnnaSophia, I don't know the specifics of how they started dating. I do know Adam's a personal trainer, but I don't know for sure if she was one of his clients, or if they were introduced some other way. Either way, I'm loath to say he was preying on AnnaSophia, because something tells me there are plenty of guys who would be more than happy to go out with her. She's gorgeous and she seems to have a good head on her shoulders. Who wouldn't want that? And like I said before, I don't know the guy, so I can't say anything about his personality for sure.

I've been a fan of AnnaSophia for a long time, probably longer than almost anyone else on this board. I loved my American Girl dolls, especially Samantha, and so I loved AnnaSophia by default when Samantha: An American Girl Holiday aired on The WB. (May The WB rest in peace.) It continued with Because of Winn-Dixie, and was cemented with Bridge to Terabithia. I continue to admire AnnaSophia for her charitable work, her desire to pursue an education, and her ability to not do a Miley and change her entire image in hopes of being seen as an adult. She seems like a smart girl, and if Adam and the rest really are horrible influences, I think she'll realize that. But for now, she's twenty-one, and I think she's allowed to have a relationship that isn't going to necessarily last. I trust her.

I'm Adam's age and would have no problem dating a young woman AnnaSophia's age. How does that make one a loser? I'd say the losers are the ones who write dissertation length entries on IMDb about something that doesn't concern them.

Elaphe... you represent 99% of dudes out there lol.

"You've Got to Keep Your Mind Wide Open" - AnnaSophia Robb

Fair argument, and quite the jab there. In my defense, I was trying to express my opinion, and honestly, this is definitely not the only relationship out there with this kind of age difference, so a lot of my points could be valid for other relationships. As for me implying that he's a loser, it honestly wasn't meant to be that personal. As a young woman around AnnSophia's age, I find men in their thirties to be way too old for me to date, at least at this point in my life. I haven been hit on by older men numerous times, and my thought process tends to be along the lines of, "You can't find someone your own age? Jeez." So that little stab at Adam is my own personal thought process. But hey, to each his own.

I don't know, but it makes me laugh that some people on here talk about her boyfriend as if he's Satan.
