Why do men above 35 years of age don't date women of same age? Why do they date younger women?

As a senior Male, we bring to any relationship 'resources' critical to support a reproductive pairing.
If, by this age... we have not previously 'paired' and reproduced, the health, vitality and allure of any potential female companion... if LIKE MINDED is what we are looking for.

Candidly, women in their mid-life (as we ALL do) come with life's 'baggage'. The emotional trauma of poor youthful choices, ... no mid-life or senior Male is enthusiastic about nurturing some 'hit & run' Romeo's offspring. with resources that COULD be devoted to THEIR OWN genes. Those potentially-exploitive males LEVERAGE his resources to negotiate an earnest commitment from mid-aged desirable females who, perhaps in their youth's prime, would not have deigned to EVEN DATE them!

Life being what it is... and speaking 'coldly' if given the potential opportunity to commit one's self to a young, fertile and insightful younger companion or to 'inherit' the obligations of a sadly-wisened pragmatic middle-aged companion with copious potential 'baggage'... WHERE does 'common wisdom' indicate YOUR best resources be 'INVESTED"?

The middle-aged companion faces the competition of the 'newer, younger' females and unless she has earnest while social skills or fiscal 'rich widow' potential... where lies HER allure? HEREIN lies the contemporize paradigm of the 'Cougar' and HER 'boy toys' side pieces--- Unless wealthy, she KNOWS they are but passing fantasies for her to 'school' and enjoy for what they are.

I gave up on women entirely at 30, because I wanted a family and wasn't comfortable dating women that were not my age.

I see no reason to date a woman over 35.

Why? The expense, risk, burden of approaching etc are still there but no sex (few women look good past 35 and with very few exceptions Im not attracted to them at all.) No children , and most already have children or have had far to many partners to ever have a real relationship again.

Because that is their interest. Not all guys are like that but it’s also because younger women tend to be in better shape than women that hit 35 and older

I am younger than 35 but you would not think I was younger than 35, would you?

[mark000h]

Because it's their preference. Many men like younger women.

Well, this question is vague. By "same age", do you mean, for example, within 5 years?

In a nutshell, the answer is that people date another person, not an age, and a given woman may be interesting to a guy for lots of reasons.

I am the exception because I think I want more responsibility, not less. Guys who chase after young ones my age want less, I think. They want freedom.

[CrixusOfCapua]

You know like guys who don't want to date single mothers. I don't find a big problem if I like them and especially if I like their kid. I am happy to be the kid's new father. But some guys hate more responsibility like that. So older women usually mean more responsibility. That is ugly to some guys. I find meaning in it.

[CrixusOfCapua]

I can't speak for other guys but my thinking is that they look at things as burdens. So say they are drafted to war. They see burden. I see a challenge. All I see is challenge. Burden isn't in my vobab. So I love challenge. I want more challenge.

Cuz they can and younger women are more attractive. Women had shallow ass standards when those men were younger why shouldn’t they do the same now that those women are older?

Women as they get older tend to get angry and jaded. Guys tend to date younger as they get older because women tend to treat men more unpleasantly as they age.

I started dating someone 3 years older than me when I was 36, been together over 3 years now.

I personally would prefer women around my age, men just don't like washed up women, or rather they consider them washed up.

Because old women age like milk, have to much baggage, are entitled as fuck, and expect bullshit when they should be just fucking happy a guy still shows interest.

[dustybiker]

Choice? Not all men are like that.

[JohnK123]

Because younger women are wanting older guys

They're most likely pedophiles.

Younger is more appealing.
