These days it has become common for young girls to marry way too old guys... why do you think is that happening?

Keep in mind that people try to "Slap a Label" on any situation they have not experienced or fail to understand.

Some people, particularly women, prefer older partners for several legitimate reasons. Older partners tend to display much more confidence, and maturity, and know what they want. They play fewer games and are better in bed.

Studies have shown that about 50% of single people are "older partner" curious. Approximately 25% have tried it, and approximately 10% to 15% prefer it.

Most of the women you see dating/ marrying older men do so because they prefer it. However, there are some that have "Gone Pro" and do it for the money.

There have been a constant string of recessions since 2000. You had the dot com bubble burst, the great recession, and now the everything bubble/great reset. All the while you have had massive job instability, rapid inflation, and unaffordable housing conditions for most young people who have had to deal with credit crunches, rising housing prices, rising interest rates and stagnant wages. Obviously women that want to get married are going to latch their chain to some guy much older who had the benefit of getting established both in career and housing during easier times.

Women will claim they want "security" and say "he makes me feel safe", which in reality is just money/resources. They're hoin... It is what it is... Just as men have had to struggle with recessions and career setbacks, so to have women during that time. Certain types of women just want the struggle to end and they want life to be easier, so they use so dude for his "financial stability"...

[DermalPunch]

Actually, it was the norm in ancient times with middle-aged men marrying girls as young as 3.

Some women want financial stability or a fast track to a luxurious lifestyle or fame, i. e. gold-digging. Conversely, they are tired of men who are 35+ and still 17 in their mentality and behaviour with the mind games and playing the field, so they are just skipping their generation. At least that's what it was for me.

Now, some men never grow out of it since my Dad who is way past 50 would still be doing it if he wasn't physically disabled and broke.

I don't know, I know I'm still a child and it won't be taken seriously but I think it's not beacuse of money but maturity of these guys. They are more experienced in life and would probably be more capable of "taking care" of you

It was way easier to get ahead when I was starting out. I had a house in my early 20s. Probably bought it for less than the average student debt today. Marrying a guy with a house that's paid off and disposable income for vacations all over the world is appealing to some. It's too risky for me without an ironclad prenup but to each their own.

[Asker]

exactly... u need to have a prenup... that's of utmost importance these days

[Charliefretz329]

Because we are more stable with houses and income. Better situation to raise babies in.


Conversely, a guys hormones convince him that young and fertile women are preferable.


The problem is that the maturity level can be way too different and difficult. Many guys I know regret having to raise their wives and teach them basic life skills like finances because they were so much younger. You also can’t really relate to a significant generational gap as well. And most American women think they are better than all men. Guys my age aren’t willing to give everything they’ve worked for away to an entitled brat.

For stability and money. If I wasn't in a relationship and love my guy, I would be looking for a sugar daddy right about now. Times are hard and I need someone who can get me and my family out of this massive debt. Girls are smart who go after older guys.

I think nowadays, it's more accepted for a woman to marry an older guy without having any sexual interaction with him, which I believe is more palatable for many people. Like Anna Nicole Smith and that eighty year old oil tycoon.

[Billlewis]

Thank you very much for the like. I think most people know that when a lovely young woman marries a substantially older guy, he often just wants to be seen with her in public, and they probably agree in their prenuptial legal agreement that they won't have any sexual interaction, other than possibly his being permitted to service her orally, etc. I believe that this type of arrangement is more acceptable for many people, although I think it's incredibly exciting:)

People love to say mommy/daddy issues but they forget to say a lot of these oldass men/women are groomers and maybe even a few pedos. Its fcked on both sides. Pretty nasty in my opinion but people will continue to do as they please

[DizzyDesii]

A lot of men in their 30s and 40s are still just as immature as some of the ones in their 20s. So i will continue to date the ones closer in age. I dont need some huge 10+ year age gap

[DextroShade]

Because most younger guys don't have their shit together yet.

[Asker]

haha... i agree on that

[fonduegirl]

Creepy standards for a man are way too normalised haha

[Anonymous]

Because most women know men don't mature till they are much older. Look at the childish garbage that is posted on here every day by guys in their 20s.

[Sour-rose]

because young guys can be absolute cringe? Also old guys have experience... and money. Young guys barely got shi

[LazerBean]

For money. It's really not all that common right now though

[Asker]

Yeah... but its becoming... like there are more such cases as compared to earlier and its increasing

[Anonymous]

That’s not common at all. Maybe in your fantasies and delusions. The average age gap between spouses is 2 years.

[Apple1996]

Easier to groom young girls because of the internet/online dating

[zagor]

"These days"... where did you get that from? In olden times it was much more common, and some girls were VERY young (think Pakistan today).

[BarryLiverstone]

I wouldn’t say that it’s common but would say older guys have more access to younger girls than they used to

[kakaling]

It is not an easy thing to do anyway. They both definitely thought of everything about it already. You will need to ask the girl yourself, and the old guy knows it.

[Anonymous]

I suppose. I married my husband when I was 16 and he was 30.

[Anonymous]

Probably for financial stability and tired of games

[LiamJHayden]

Historically that was the norm. Now, as long as they are both adults it is not my business.

[Anonymous]

Theyre mostly settled and humble. And don’t forget their impressive bed tricks if you dont cum yet dont expect them to stop digging your shit

[itsalyssaagain]

We’re sick of little boys who act like princesses.

[Anonymous]

Money, status and often just skill

[Unknown29]

BECAUSE MODERN “MEN” OUR TOTALLY SISSIFIED!

[In_Trance]

What does this even mean

[Fireguy17]

Money.

[CreatingWonders]

Money I’d imagine.

[mommymommymommy]

Money
