You say "yeah I'm sure" like that alone dismisses the biological imperative innately born into every non-asexually reproducing species of anything ever.
Males find the ability to produce healthy offspring and traits that indicate so to be sexually attractive. Get some data on the likelihood of medical complications during pregnancy and childbirth and the likelihood of having a kid with disabilities or deformities even as "young" as 28 compared to a decade earlier.
I mean, unless you just want to disagree with facts. You know, like feminism does.
So what's wrong with the biological answer? A young woman is more likely to be fertile, that's just a fact.
That being said, given that men are very visual creaures and women hit the wall at 30 in terms of looks. So when all other things are equal, a man would prefer a woman who still has 9 good years on her looks opposed to one whose looks are already declining.
If men became poorer as we aged, you wouldn't be all confused when women prefer to date younger men right?
I am dating someone older not because he is older but because I find him attractive on the in and outside. Probably the age gap was one of the reasons why I refused to see it as a potential relationship in the first place.
But in the end I just loved who is as a person. He is incredibly fit with great genetics and we have so much in common.
However most older guys are overweight, balding, wrinkly, bitter, perverted etc. I guess there are exceptions. But most people should stick with people their age.
I think sometimes it has to do with maturity.. not always but sometimes.
my husband is actually about 10 months younger than I am
we actually have a few friends who are in long term relationships with people their own ages.
also some men are attracted to older women and some women attracted to younger men..
everyone likes different things

Because girls don't want guys their own age. When guys are young, we're looked down upon by girls in our age group. We're told that we have to wait until we're older to be attractive to girls, because girls respect and want older guys. So we end up dating younger girls because they're the only ones who want us.
I think it's because women don't generally age as well as men, which really sucks. I also find that women my age aren't as up to having any fun, whether it's having sex or going bowling. That can be really frustrating for a man, especially if she herself pulls the "too old" or "menopause" card.
I like younger women because we tend to have more in common. It's just how it works out. Not every guy is like me. I know there's lots who aren't. But it's my way.
Youth is one of the hallmarks of what makes a man attracted to a woman. Yes, it is biology.
I've mostly dated women older than me. Maybe I'm an exception. what you're saying is true. It's sad, but that's the way it is
You gave the answer. My girls have been 20-25 years younger. Mens prime starts at 35, women at 22. This should explain it. Men age like wine, women age like milk.
I would ask why do ladies like older men?
I like youthful looks but im for smart cnfidence if she youmg and never grown up no way. A lady has to be smart.
I suspect most couples are in fact within 2-3 years in age, making your hypothesis incorrect. I know several where the woman is considerably older.
But yeah, reproductive biology makes women in their childbearing years more attractive to men.
They usually have less emotional baggage and they usually look better.
Basic biology. They're young, fertile and at their most attractive. They have that youthful glow.. There was a study saying men, regardless of their age, find women between the ages of 20 and 23 to be the most attractive
Younger women are in their prime and are prettier. It's that simple for men.
Why should a man settle with a woman past her prime when he can get a woman that is 15 to 17 years younger than a woman over the hill?
You summed it up there, it's purely sexual. Tons of studies have shown that the closer people are in age, the more successful their marriages are going to be, so whatever you're seeing really isn't about love. Especially, for the older man.
Mybe they got fed the joke that u can bounce off the walls in her to much lol. I dont care how big ur d is if it bounces like somone blew wholes in it abort.
younger women in my experience are easier to impress, less work to make happy and have significantly less baggage. all of those things make it much easier to date younger than even around my age
I dont really adhere. I generally like my spouse to be within three years difference of my age, either older or younger.
It's no mystery. It's because women are most attractive aged 16-29.
I have to be different and stick with guys younger than me.
For me its just a "likey to still want to reproduce," issue. =^/
You're only looking at half the situation. Why do women go for older men? It takes two to tango.
My wife and I are less than a year apart. Not working out so well. If it ends I'll probably look for younger too. Don't know why but I'm sure I would.
