When is the concept of codependency not helpful to others?
Always! Codependency is very different than interdependence. We are a social species and we all depend on each other to some degree. A codependent person compromises their own values or integrity to avoid rejection or anger A codependent person is extremely loyal but will remain in a harmful situation too long. A codependent person may accept sex when what they want is love. This may seem like a good thing for the other person but in constantly supporting and enabling the other person's behavior, you are limiting their growth and encouraging destructive behavior. Codependent people also tend to attract abusive and controlling personalities. Codependency is never a good thing for anyone. It is a painful way to live for you and those around you. It is a difficult pattern of behavior to break and probably best addressed with individual therapy, a group such as Codependents Anonymous, or both.

Why would a middle-aged man be only interested in dating women who are a lot older or younger than him and who do not take care of themselves?
A middle aged man may only be interested in older women because he feels more secure with them. However if they do not take care of themselves, either he has a fetish (which is unlikely) or he wants to take advantage of them. These are behaviors of a codependent person. People say codependency often when they mean dependency. A codependent person seeks out people to include in their lives who are always falling apart. The codependent steps in like a savior, and the person falling apart feels a need for them and the codependent feels needed. Since the person always falling apart is, well, always falling apart, they are a renewable source of validation for the codependent. Sounds like this guy is that kind of person and the age range doesn't seem to be of as much significance with that in mind.
