Do men in their early 20s like women who are a bit older than them?

[Anonymous]

Do many of them like women who are in their late 20s or do they prefer women who are the same age or younger?

[MrOracle]

The vast majority of men prefer women who are younger than they are, and this has been true throughout all of human history. A small percentage of exceptions definitely exist, no question, but they are EXCEPTIONS, not the rule.

Also, when you say "like", I'm going to assume we're talking about "like for a committed relationship" here. If you are asking who men are willing to sleep with, then we're having an ENTIRELY different conversation with very, VERY different standards.

why are the standards so much different?

[MrOracle]

Biology.

Women want a laundry list of things from a man - things that virtually all man start live with none of, and must work and struggle to earn. Fine, fair enough. But men want things too, and the main thing that most men want in order to have a SERIOUS, COMMITTED relationship (including marriage), is a FAMILY. It's the single biggest reason that men are willing to work so hard and make so many sacrifices to be in a relationship.

When does a woman's primary fertility window occur? Between the ages of 18-28. A woman will have lost 90% of her eggs by age 30, and at age 30, only has a 50/50 chance of having children. This isn't speculation, this is medical truth that you can look up and verify for yourself.

And this is why men of ALL ages, from 16 to 96, prefer women in their 20s. I'm not saying that every man can GET a woman in her 20s, but those are the women that are the most desired by men, and this has always been true. ALWAYS. Read ANY history book from ANY era, and pay attention to the ages of the women that men in history have married. It doesn't matter if the man was 25 or 65, if he got married, the woman was in her 20s, or younger (!).

Feminism has lied to women, and told women to spend their 20s either focusing on their education and career, or just "having fun" and "getting to know themselves." Feminism taught women that they could push serious relationships off until their 30s, and that they'd be even more valuable then, with a career and an apartment (and a high body count, kids from some loser guy, and tons of trauma). It was all a lie, because Feminism's goal - stated outright by many Feminist leaders - was to completely destroy marriage and all relationships between men and women.

Women aren't supposed to be single and looking for a partner in their 30s and 40s - that was supposed to be the RARE EXCEPTION, mostly for widows. Seeking serious relationships is something women should be doing in their late teens and early 20s. That's when women have the most value and have access to the best options she'll EVER have in life. That doesn't mean she doesn't need to choose carefully, and choose based on his morals, values, and life goals - she still does. But that's when she has the most value to spend in the relationship market. And when you have the most value to spend, you have access to the best stuff, right? And when you have significantly less value, you don't have access to the best stuff. That's reality. Men understand and accept reality, because we live in reality (yes, a few exceptions exist). But most women today live in delusion, and take no accountability for their own decisions.

Now, why are the standards so different when it comes to men having sex? It's simple: most men can do something that most women can't do (even if those women WANT to, or believe they CAN do, very few actually can): men can separate sex from love. And this means that men can have sex just to have sex, with no more emotional connection than he has to the meal he eats when he's hungry.

A man meets a woman, and within a very short amount of time, he puts women in one of three categories:

- a very few women get put into the "Relationship Potential" category. And this is WAY less about looks and a LOT more about attitude, personality, and lifestyle.

- women who are physically attractive enough (not a massively high standard) but don't have the right attitude, personality, lifestyle, or history, get put in a category called "Recreational Use Only." These women are women he will bang, but will never date or take seriously.

- Women who are too low in attractiveness, who are obviously crazy/unstable, or who have insane backgrounds, get put in the "I don't want ANYTHING from her" category.

Remember: these are categories he assigns at the very beginning. Over time, many women get downgraded from their original category to something lower. Promotions upwards are VERY rare.

A man knows if he has romantic feelings for a woman VERY early on. That feeling may only be a seed that has yet to grow, but he knows if the seed is there or not. If there is no seed of feelings (at least) for a particular woman, then sex with her means NOTHING to the man beyond the physical experience of sex. Sex can be very meaningful to a man, but ONLY if he has that romantic feeling for the woman FIRST. Without that feeling, it's JUST SEX to a man, and a man can bang a woman 100 times in 50 days and still have zero feelings for her if he didn't have feelings for her from the start.

This is why, as a woman, the fact that a man will bang you is MEANINGLESS. You will never, EVER impress a man because some high-value man will bang you, because every man on the planet knows that MOST men would bang you, but that banging you means NOTHING. It doesn't put you on his level.

A man's worth is determined by the quality of the woman who he can bang, but a woman's worth is the quality of the man who will COMMIT to her. And tons and TONS of men who are above a woman's level will bang her, but will never commit to her. If the only men who will commit to her is a 5/10 man, then she's a 5/10 woman, regardless of how she sees herself. If an 8/10 man will commit to her, then she's an 8. Who she can get to bang her means NOTHING at all.

I always liked older when I was in my 20s

[DishLady]

Some guys do -- and some women for SOME reason think it's ok to indulge the ridiculousness. But would a cow be paired with a calf? NO. Would a gosling be paired with a goose? NO. And yet some humans mistakenly think they're above the laws of nature. Hmm.

(Same applies to guys, by the way... it's ridiculous. Just because we physically CAN do something doesn't mean that it's MORAL or CORRECT to do it.)

[Sam1133]

I always go for older women

[Asker]

why?

[jahaims]

You don't understand what a preference is?

[Wise4myage]

Yes, I’m guessing some guys do.

[Anonymous]

[cavedweller1973]
