Question

Why is it rare to find a man dating a woman his age?
And why do some women date guys older than them (besides the whole maturity thing)
These days you'd find a man dating a female 5 years younger than he is
Same goes with women
Why is that?

Because in their twenties, most men are not date material, and in their thirties, most women are not date material. Women always mature faster than men do, so if a woman is single in her mid to late thirties (and not a widow, or divorced, or anything), there's probably a damn good reason why. If a guy is single in his twenties, he's likely not mature enough/ready for a relationship yet and probably doesn't want one, anyway. That's why it's common to see 30-35 year old men with 20-25 year old women.

the average male starts to get more serious with life in his 30's. because that is when he is more likely to have a decent paying job/carrier. so he can help support his partner and his children.
however the average female peak ferity to have children is between 16-30. so the best chance she has to natural become a mother is in that window of time.
which is why many guys tend to date girls in their early 20's. so them have a few years to build a bond with them. before deciding weather to have a family with them or not.
yes it is possible for a female to become pregnant after 30. be typically requires her to be in peak physically, mental and emotional shape. maybe even requires more medical help for her to become pregnant and/or deliver the child.
younger females also have a better chance to have multiple healthy pregnancies and children. while having a better chance they can return to their pre-baby or better figure. plus have more physical, mental and emotional - energy, stamina and endurance to raise the children.

In the United States, the legal Age of Consent ranges state-by-state from 16 to 18 years old, with most states setting the age of consent at 16.

Internationally, the Age of Consent ranges from as high as 19-20 in some countries to as low as 11 or 12 in certain underdeveloped nations. Some countries, particularly in the Middle East, require marriage prior to intercourse but do not specify an age of consent.

I have seen couples with the same age. One of my friends is that way. Many near me has their boyfriend's age up to 5 years difference. Most women go for older guys. Older guys look for younger girls

Evolutionary psychology. Men are physically attracted to youth as that implies health and fertility. On the other hand women are attracted to a man with resources (which can range from territory to wealth to social status - all of which grow with age).

These days? What year are you living in? It's been pretty standard for at least a century for men to end up married to a women 5 to 10 years younger than him. The only time people typically date people their own age is when they are in high school and by random chance. Once you are in the real world people aren’t organized by age group and there is a lot of flex in who you date.

Age is just a number. Sometimes it's just a matter of timing. Sometimes its preference. In HS, I was always 4 years older. My 7 year marriage is almost to a women 4 years younger. When things work, who cares about something as trivial as age?

I tend to date older women because women my age are very likely to be high-maintenance, demanding drama queens.

Isn't really a reason it's just what works for them. You can't help who you like and as long as it's legal and consensual then why not 🤷🏻‍♀️
