Why do women marry guys who are so much older?

[Anonymous]

Like 10 years older. Why don't they just marry someone the same age?

usually for money. they don’t usually actually love the guy, more about what the guy can do for them. that’s why most age gap relationships don’t work out and majority of them end in divorce.


i would never do it. guys my age have so many advantages over old guys in my opinion.

I mean let's say a 25 year old marries a 40 year old that's an old guy right there.

But if a 25 year old marries a 32 year old, I guess it could be love. Sometimes older guys have a maturity about them which can be appealing.

there’s probably something off with that 25 year old. the only women who exclusively seek older guys are women with daddy issues or who did not have a stable relationship with the males in their lives. also the ones who have been abused. that’s been proven.

My grandpa married a woman 10 years younger and he died at around 94 while she died at around age 86 so they only separated by 2 years in death despite their 10 year age difference.

Men get old, women get replaced trope, usually they are gold diggers, but women tend to care less about their lover's age than men do, and a man can have children at old age.

Maybe because they like someone. Long as they’re both adults. Who cares?

Can I message you? There's something I'd like to tell you. Thanks.

My mom married my dad and he was 10 years older (34) and she was 23 years old. She could have dated someone her own age but settled for my dad instead.

Perhaps they met and fell in love?
