Is it true that men love younger women?

[Anonymous]

[Finchie40]

For the most part yes , Younger women don’t have the baggage that most older women have , Meaning a younger woman is less likely damaged inside from all the heart break an older woman more than likely experienced in her life time , Most older guys like younger women mainly for that reason , A guy doesn’t want a girl that’s been around the block a bunch of times , A younger girl usually doesn’t have the body count that an older woman has , and most younger woman love sex more than women that are older , Most guys love sex , we want a girl that keeps us happy in the bedroom not one that constantly makes excuses as to why she isn’t in the mood , and stressed about so many things , younger women are more care free and love to let loose and have fun , so yes a younger woman has more advantages then an older woman does when getting a guy to be interested in her , Me personally doesn’t really hold age as a deciding factor when it comes to meeting a beautiful girl that has great chemistry and connection with me , Her age is the last thing I am thinking about , I have dated younger and older women so the chemistry and connection is what matters , I know I get hit on more by younger women , which I don’t complain lol

Well, it seems men are biologically hardwired to prefer women at their peak fertility, which is their early 20s:
www.healthline.com/health/biological-clock-women

[Avicenna]

by the way, Apple, at no time in history have men in their teens been at their peak

[sage2021]

Men may lust, love, and date younger women, but that usually won't be reciprocated.
When I was 19 the landlord of my apartment came around in person to collect my rent check. He was about 32 or 33 and he always made me feel uncomfortable around him. He wanted to date me, but it would have felt like I was with my father, not a guy I would be with.

These guys seem to want a woman 18-25 years old for fertility reasons. I find that odd.
Most women are seeking their career at that age, so not really a good time for her to make her little ducklings with a man.

I was 24 when I gave birth to my son. But that wasn't the norm even back then. I just made it under the cusp age wise.

[Apple1996]

Peak fertility for a woman is 26-32 so the fertility thing is just a excuse that these guys use to be a creep and go after 25 and under

[Pohjolan]

"These guys seem to want a woman 18-25 years old for fertility reasons. I find that odd.

Its not like careers were a thing for the majority of our time as hunter gatherer societies.

[Apple1996]

@Pohjolan people were lucky to live till 20 back then so still not a excuse for men to like young women unless they are also young

[red324]

There's plenty of pregnant women in the 18-25 year range

[Apple1996]

@red324 yeah but that is not the best time to get pregnant. Trust me I was a teen mom. Our bodies are not meant to deliver babies till we are a little bit older

[Keishio]

@Apple1996 where did you read that? Peak fertility is between late teens to late 20's tops. Around 30 fertility starts to decline.

[Pohjolan]

@Apple1996
Why shouldn't men like young women?

[red324]

@Apple1996 I disagree. She can take online college classes while she sits at home taking care of the baby. Harder to do when you have a real job at 40

[Apple1996]

@Keishio peak is late 20s and always has been. Men are actually the ones that peak teens to early 20s

[Apple1996]

@Pohjolan younger men are fine to like younger women since they're in the same age range

[Apple1996]

@red324 college is a waste of time for anyone in my opinion

[red324]

@Apple1996 It depends on what you want to do. It's more about who you know honestly. I worked at a place that the owner would just hire all his texas A&M buddies and inrealized inwasnt going to move up.

[Apple1996]

@red324 maybe for men but for women it isn't that important to go to college especially if they plan on having a family/being a stay at home mom/wife

[Pohjolan]

@Apple1996
You didn't answer my question.

[red324]

@Apple1996 yeah but that isn't as common anymore

[Apple1996]

@Pohjolan men shouldn't like younger women cuz to get them they'd have to groom them. Young being 18 to like 25. After that it's not young anymore in my opinion

[Apple1996]

@red324 it's still pretty common especially since covid and the rise in school shootings a lot of women stopped working to homeschool their kids

[sage2021]

Where do guys find all of these 18-25 year olds that also want to just barely know you and you want to knock her up? So, the guys have a hidden agenda - they are after younger women so they can knock you up. That's their purpose. WOW!!

[Keishio]

What on earth are you talking about?

[red324]

the bar lol Trust me I go after them because they make me feel young again, i'm not trying to knock one up

[Apple1996]

@red324 not sure why you'd want to feel young again. Being older has a lot more benefits then being young so maybe try to embrace it

[Pohjolan]

@Apple1996
What do you mean by grooming in this context?

[MrOracle]

@Apple1996

American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
www.acog.org/.../having-a-baby-after-age-35-how-aging-affects-fertility-and-pregnancy

"A woman's peak reproductive years are between the late teens and late 20s. By age 30, fertility (the ability to get pregnant) starts to decline. This decline happens faster once you reach your mid-30s. By 45, fertility has declined so much that getting pregnant naturally is unlikely."

www.healthline.com/health/fertility-timeline

"Ages 18 to 24

If ever there was a “best” age to procreate purely from a physical standpoint, this would be it.

Your body’s strongest ovarian follicles are the first to mature into eggs for ovulation, so the eggs you produce in your younger years are more likely to be high quality.

Having a child at this age will cut the risk for:

- birth defects
- chromosomal problems
- some fertility issues"

I could go on, but it would just be more of the same. This isn't new information - we've known this for more than 100 years, and no new discoveries have altered this conclusion among medical science. If you've heard otherwise, it was almost certainly from a Feminist publication that is spreading lies.

[Apple1996]

@MrOracle I've heard otherwise from my fertility doctor but sure keep believing what you read online lol
I struggled so badly with fertility specifically between the ages of 20-24. Now I have no problems and can't stop getting pregnant now that I'm in my peak years of fertility

[MrOracle]

@Apple1996 The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is the organization who board-certifies OBGYNs. I would imagine they might know a little bit about this subject. My source is not "the Internet" - it's the certifying authority of the medical specialty in the USA.

You, personally, may have struggled in your early 20s - exceptions always exist to any generalization - but that doesn't mean the generalization isn't true. I can believe that YOUR PERSONAL fertility peaked later, but that's not the norm and shouldn't be put forward as the norm, when all of the science says otherwise.

[Apple1996]

If a guy says that he likes "younger" women I'm automatically gonna assume that he's a creep that has to groom young girls cuz he can't find someone his own age. It is not normal for people to date outside their age range.

[chris_987]

I don't know pussy does have an expiration date

[MrOracle]

Clearly I'm grooming and robbing the cradle because I'm dating a woman young enough to be my daughter. The poor naive little girl is a mere 36 years old - practically as vulnerable as a baby fawn. I guess I'm just a creep..

[Sergettio]

it’s like saying ima be using a iPhone 4 in 2023 🤌🏼 With More crack on the screen than the 🇦🇶 Antarctica.
Definitely hell no ! ! I get my relationship like As I do with my iphones

[Apple1996]

@MrOracle past 30 it doesn't count as young anymore lol

[chris_987]

I like that girls make rules for who men should date, I don't know but I'd look pretty stupid telling girls to go after short broke men.

[Apple1996]

@chris_987 I don't see anything wrong with short broke men

[chris_987]

I dare you to start telling girls to start dating short broke men and see how they take it.

[Apple1996]

@chris_987 half the women now a days don't even wanna date anymore cuz it ain't worth it so most won't care if I tell them that lol

[chris_987]

So they would just rather have casual sex? Isn't that the same reason why men have sex with younger girls? Cause older woman are damaged goods

[Apple1996]

@chris_987 don't think the sex is worth it either. Only a small percentage of women cum from sex with a man so really not worth it for them

[RangerBlue22]

@Apple1996 if you want to criticize men who just say they are attracted to (legally) younger women please for the love of God quit it with the “omg he’s a creep!” response. Really just quit it. It’s so cliche, stereotypical and exhausting to the word “creep” thrown out whenever a women hears something like that.

It’s one thing if a 45 year old man says he like HS girls or something that gross. The vast majority of men and women would rightfully call that creepy af. However it’s quite another thing if a 30 year old man finds a 22 year old woman attractive.

Deep down you know better. But really just quit it with the bs knee jerk “creep” response just because most older men find legally younger women attractive. That’s just the truth of the matter and it’s simple biology.

[chris_987]

Women haven't cum for centuries so are you saying this century women figured out it isn't worth it? No cause your average women still has more sexual partners than your average man

[RangerBlue22]

@Apple1996 if you continue with blanket judgments then you get blanket responses.

Maybe it emotionally makes you “feel good” to judge like so broadly like that. It doesn’t take any mental effort to read into the details or context either.

But are changing anyone’s minds when you insult them? If anything it makes people get further entrenched in their views.

[Apple1996]

@RangerBlue22 it's not a insult it's the truth. Only thing I'm trying to do by saying that is make men realize that it actually is creepy and unnatural to be going after literal undeveloped girls. I guarantee if they had a daughter in those age ranges they would not want them dating older men cuz they damn well know that guys doing that are creepy.
And the only thing that makes me feel good saying this is that it might prevent girls from have to go through the trauma of older men grooming them

[RangerBlue22]

A grown woman in her early 20s is going to be physically attractive to men of all ages. She is definitely in her prime child bearing years. She is not “a child”.

Now does that mean it’s okay if a 50 year old man should openly hit on, chase or say legitimate “creepy” remarks to a disinterested 22 year old woman? Hell no. Of course not.

But just giving blanket labels and insults to any middle aged man just because he admits he finds legally younger women attractive is ridiculous and extremely unfair. You judge his actions. He has literally has no control what goes through his head and he shouldn’t be judged for it unless he acts on them inappropriately.

If he has the self discipline not say or do anything stupid then he isn’t “a creep”. Just because a guy wants a younger woman there is no guarantee he will get it and he knows it.

[Apple1996]

@RangerBlue22 under 25 a woman still isn't developed enough mentally to understand that they are being groomed. They aren't prime child bearing years. That literally starts at mid 20s to mid 30. Its high risk for young women to be pregnant

Men should be able to control what goes on in their heads. If they are having uncontrollable thoughts that aren't appropriate then they should seek help

[RangerBlue22]

So 21 year olds are being “groomed” huh? We aren’t even talking about 18-19 year olds here. We are talking about grown women who can legally drink, gamble, buy marijuana, buy guns and virtually all other grown adult activists whether good or bad.

Seriously what if an employer denied a 21 year old woman from working a certain occupation by outright saying that “women in their early 20s do not have the emotional maturity to handle the stresses of this position”. We both know all complete hell would break lose with feminists.

You can NOT pick and choose which benefits and which risks a grown 21 year old gets to be held accountable or doesn’t. She can’t be an “independent strong grown woman” when it benefits her (work opportunities) and at the same time a poor helpless victim when it doesn’t. She isn’t a “victim” when she regretted having sex with an older man she consented to in the moment.

If women want privileges in society then responsibilities come along with that too. You can be “equal but special”. Especially when you are a grown ass 21 year old adult. Will people take advantage of your naivety at times? Unfortunately yes. I personally got screwed over by employers and business dealing in my early 20s due to my naivety. But again you are a legal adult who can make adult decisions.

So if a 21 year woman can legally drink then she can consent to sex to any adult of any age. Yes she may have regrets later. But she isn’t a poor helpless victim at 21. You are not justified going around calling older men “creeps” just because they admit they find legally young women attractive either. A 21 year old has the capacity to consent or not.

But you know what keep on saying “creep”. The word is so overused by women nowadays that it’s lost it’s impact.

[Apple1996]

@RangerBlue22 there isn't any difference between teens and early 20s mentally until 25 so if you wouldn't date a 16 year old then you shouldn't date a 21 year old either...
And personally I don't think women should work at all cuz we aren't cut out for it so I wouldn't care if anyone turned away young women from working since they are less mature

[RangerBlue22]

“ And personally I don't think women should work at all cuz we aren't cut out for it so I wouldn't care if anyone turned away young women from working since they are less mature”

Alright well the powers that be (feminism) not only disagree with you but will exclusively blame men for that. They never will admit women themselves can’t agree on major issues. So in general women don’t know what they want and men don’t know to give them.

Anyway I still don’t agree that there is “no difference between a 16 year old and 21 year old”. That’s absolutely ridiculous. I was worlds apart in my own outlook on life at 21 vs 16. I was ready to graduate from college at 21 vs being happy to get my drivers license at 16.

But I have to remind myself your reality is much different than mine. However I can tell you right now the life an adult man is no cakewalk. Some younger women PREFER older men by the way and it’s not always about money.

Also we have biológical impulses to procreate and preferably with a mate that is very fertile (younger women). That sure as hell doesn’t give us the green light to go around doing what we want and coercing young women. But that impulse wasn’t “socially” created. It comes from years of evolution. In itself it doesn’t make a man “a creep” but how the man chooses to behave given the impulse is what matters.

But if a 21 year old woman is a grown adult. Young adult but still an adult nonetheless. Also in case you haven’t guessed I have dated and slept with much younger (but legal aged) women. I always treated them well and never did anything they didn’t want.

Call me “creep” all you want but offer ZERO apologies for it. None. In fact the more you just yell creep without any context it only pushes me in the opposite direction.

[Apple1996]

@RangerBlue22 we must live in very different worlds then cuz for me 16 to 21 weren't much different of a mindset but I also matured super fast since I started my relationship and having kids at 16-17

Older men are far past the point of wanting a fertile woman to mate with. If they wanted a 21 year old then they should have been dating one when they were also 21. At some point they should have matured and moved into liking women their age as they get older

if you haven't noticed everyone that sticks around here on GaG is a creep in some way or another. It's not anything special that I'm calling out the older men here as creeps 😂

[ImalwaysrightOK]

@Apple1996 the only one here acting like a creep is you. Several men are telling you why we prefer younger women and all you have is pathetic shaming to back it up. Women don't get to tell men what we should want or like.

[RangerBlue22]

@ImalwaysrightOK absolutely. Men know damn well we will never get away with telling women what should they like vs. don’t like. Even when it’s for the woman’s own good (e. g. don’t date controlling assholes) women insist on being “free”.

At least I can say @Apple1996 isn’t a feminist from our other conversations. The absolute worst hypocrites are the women who demand all the benefits in society and play victim when convenient.

Also I wonder how many of these women would quickly change their mind if they were in their late teens/early 20s and they encountered a famous male actor in his 40s or older (Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, etc). I am quite certain the “creep factor” would conveniently go out the window if many 19 year old females had a chance to sleep with one of these much older famous guys.

In fact they would ironically feel “controlled” if they were denied that opportunity because they’re supposedly too young at 19-21.

[Apple1996]

@ImalwaysrightOK I'm fine with being a creep if that means protecting the younger generation of girls.
And certian things should be shamed... you know like people that think it's fine to groom and manipulate someone younger then themselves. Men don't like younger women for any other reason besides the power and control they gain from being In a relationship with them.

[Apple1996]

@RangerBlue22 this was brought up on a different question awhile ago but a few women here on GaG said they didn't think Brad Pitt or Leonardo DiCaprio were attractive or worth dating unless it was for money 😂

[chris_987]

But women look for someone who can control, that why they stay with men like that

[Apple1996]

@chris_987 it's usually that women have to change men since a lot of them don't change their bad habits before getting into a serious relationship. It's a very different thing then a man trying to control the whole relationships

[chris_987]

Women aren't trying to change men, they're testing men to see what they can get away with. Like when a child tries to see where the line is with there parents. Woman are the same way. They want men to put boundaries and standards on them so they feel secure.

[Apple1996]

@chris_987 never in my life have I heard a woman say they want a man to set up boundaries for them. If anything that would do the opposite and make them insecure since it shows a lack of trust. A couple that trust each other would not have to do that

[chris_987]

Yeah you've never heard a child say they want boundaries either but there nature show that they do better with rules. That goes for women too. You aspect a man to court you which is just the early stages of showing that he can lead the relationship, no girl want a guy who lets her walk all over him and doesn't have a back bone, so the opposite of that would be? Yeah someone that has rules and standards.

[Apple1996]

@chris_987 many women don't want men to lead. We want things to be equal. The ones that want men to lead usually have issues from their childhood like not having a father that cared for them so they seek that as a adult

[ManOnFire]

Not me. When I was a teen, sure. But after that I have always preferred older women. I personally don't like the look or the idea of being one of those guys who has a girlfriend 8 or 10 years younger than him. It just looks like you're an immature guy in it for the thrills, or like you can't handle a relationship with a woman your age or older. I mean, to me anyway.

[Summeroflove]

Many men do yes. I think it’s okay because I think it’s men are fertile longer then women are. Now a woman 30-even 40 can be attractive and there is woman past child barring ages who can and so still date successfully.



But. Many men do yes

[OlderAndWiser]

I love younger women. I love older women. I love women who are my age. You could say that I just love women!

[Miristheiss]

Men love women that are 18-25. Even 40 year old men still love women of that age.

That is a woman's sweet spot. Her best chance to lock down and marry a guy. She is also most fertile and having kids is ideal at these ages.

Most guys, if all other things are equal, if he could marry a 23 year old or a 33 year old, will pick the 23 year old.

[strateguy632]

absolutely yes. whether 25 age man prefer age 20 lady, or 60 age man age 27 lady. in high school too need law kuz senior guy attracted to junior gal, more than gal senior. realistically lady rarely wants older by large gap unless his money. i suppress myself no names calling now.

[Purpleronnie]

I think it can work both ways , in my life I’ve had younger girls that I still consider my age appropriate range flirt and fawn over me , I’ve also have the occasionally crush from a much younger woman. So , while I think that , yes ! guys are attracted to younger woman , i think it’s just biology mostly as long as it’s age appropriate!! , and well girls are known to mature faster than boys to , there are always exceptions to though

[RavVid]

We certainly like their bodies a lot more. But I think we also feel of more value to them with our life experience and resources. And with that comes a desire to look after and care for them and if appreciated & reciprocated then we do start feeling love.

So yeah we love younger women.

[TheTower]

Not necessary since out of 3 relationships I had, 2 are with older women with age difference 1 and 2 years old. Currently my partner are 1 year older than me. My father also married my mom which is a year older. I do believe its all depended on the character it self.

[Nikki1989]

Yes, but many cross the line to the point where it becomes creepy. Virgins should stick with other virgins. A grown man seeking a virgin is so wrong on so many levels.

[Vegasrunner]

@Nikki1989 Interesting. I'm curious do you believe it's also wrong for a woman to want a man taller than her?

[chris_987]

Logically speaking there are more male virgins than female ones so most men if there older virgin would have to date a younger virgin, since you only want virgins to date other virgin's.

[Grond21]

I'm a grown man seeking a virgin, but I am also a virgin. Do you think that that is wrong as well?

[Berethor]

Most men date younger women, young women have better looks, higher fertility and less baggage. You can google the 'men get old, women get replaced' trope for more info.

[msc545]

@berethor Also, men age like fine wine; women age like milk.

[OfMiceandMen]

Not necessarily. Some younger women are very mature so it works out, however, men like women of their own age group too, as they tend to have more in common with them.

[Lowiu]

Most men do like younger women and would want to date someone younger

[Prince_09]

@lowiu yes that's true

[Lionman95]

I´d say yes at least on average. It´s likely that a guy rather chooses a younger woman as a partner than an older. I think it works with most men.

[smilelots]

No i dont thinks its true what is true is some men like younger woman and some older and some like the same age ,, just like woman like younger and older and same age its different for everyone

[Sharkstealth]

I don't really date now. Younger women are most likely to throw themselves at me especially 18 and 19. Its not about love and dating. It's about sex. Older women want long relationships and children. Younger are just hungry.

[warsevf]

I had crush on someone 3 years younger than me. she was 27 and politely rejected me by saying "I am old"

Anyway I am 29 and now I know what she meant by that

[Asker]

some women doesn’t like older men

[warsevf]

I don't know about that. But I like older women in general

[Chris_u006]

Generally speaking yes boyish men like younger women. BUT not every man, only some. A real man don't care about age nor looks in women typically. Personality is what matters the most to me, and pure heart with lots and lots of love to give.

[Jendcheuebc]

Men just like attractive women and they can be any age.

[Adaeva]

Of course because men are attracted to young fertile women.

[ryanrhino]

Nope. My mom is just a bit over a year older than my dad.

[Anonymous]

They can love them all they want but getting that younger women to love you back is the problem.

[Juxtapose]

So true..

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Most men do. Younger women just physically look better than older woman and will last longer looking better than a woman who already in her 30's or 40's.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, I like younger women, age 21+

[glennos89]

Yes that's true in general but not per definition. Men also accept older woman

[Olderguy50]

I wouldn't say so. But everyone is different. So long as its not ridiculous and creepy, each to their own.

[LiamJHayden]

Many, maybe most, do. To date I've pretty much dated my age to older women, from a few months younger to 14 years older.

[mommymommymommy]

Some do. My dad married an older woman. She's older than him by 1 year and 24 days exactly. She's 2/1/56, he's 2/25/57

[Chthou95]

In general yes. a lot of mem will lie and say they don't but if they had the option to do so without also being shamed for dating younger women, they'd pick the younger women

[Exterminatore]

Same as it’s true people like fresh milk as opposed to sour and spoiled milk.

[red324]

younger women are more fun. Women my age are tired and too into their career

[Ben487]

yeah, men prefer younger women that is a known fact of life.

[Anonymous]

Some women love younger men so I wouldn't be surprised

[moviedude714]

I think that's been socially or commonly accepted

[clampfan101]

Yes, but I’m personally okay with my wife being older.

[art84]

My brother's ex wife was like 23 years old and he was in his early 30's.

[kakaling]

If they have all the physical looks that I like in a girl, age doesn't matter.

[Pohjolan]

Men instinctively like fertile women so a lot of men would also go for a hot MILF.

[Natiii2023]

Yes I can say that from experience I have a baby face so guys think I look cute 😂

[OG956]

If I would date someone, than I would rather date someone my age or older

[ItsZaman]

its true but only for me.
I don't know about other men.

[Anonymous]

Many do
Some love older women
Some don't love women

[Prince_09]

Yes men will like young women more compared elder women

[Anonymous]

Yes. And women love older men. That's because how men prove themselves as desireable is more complex than how they look and their attitude.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

By mind or by body?

[Asker]

I don’t know. Some younger women are more matured by mind and by body.

[Anonymous]

No, not at all, I preffer same age and older all the time

[MementoMori777]

I actually prefer older 😶☝️

[serious]

Yes that is true.

[Jazzy54]

Some do. Young women = fertile.

[sheikalana]

A lot of men prefer younger women.

[Kabluie]

Yeah, especially since I don't look my age.

[FunkyMonkee]

They ARE the ones most likely to have babies!

[Arik_jade]

No... i think boys like elder girls

[Asker]

But elder girls like older men

[Arik_jade]

Hahaha... that I came to know right now.. thanks

[Danny_dan92]

Women love older men. Tomato potato

[Sofie87]

No some like older. My boyfriend younger then me.

[Jamie05rhs]

@Sofie87 But you're super hot.

[YourExLover69]

For majority yes it's true

[VikingWarLord]

it's always been true

[Anonymous]

some men are pervs, yes.

[sirderpsalot123]

It's true for men who love younger women.

[dudeinohio]

To a degree. But I go 8 years younger max

[TallAnon]

On average we date a few years younger
