Men, of all ages, universally, have been shown to consistently go for or desire women who are around 18-25, Why?

Question

Countless data/evidence proves this to be a fact

Men of all ages, universally, gravitate towards women who are in their late teens to early/mid twenties.

Men gravitate towards women who are rather significantly younger than they are.

I've written about this hundreds of times. It's all about biology.

SMV (Social Market Value), by age and sex

If you chart an average woman's fertility by age, and compare that to their SMV (Social Market Value - the value that the opposite sex generally assigns to person of a given age), the curves are virtually identical. If you understand anything about evolution and Natural Selection, this not only shouldn't be surprising, but it's exactly what you would predict.

It's not an accident, or just random chance, that humans exist today when many other pre-human species went extinct - the species that survive are the ones that can survive, adapt, and reproduce successfully. Species that aren't great at one or more of those things will usually become extinct, and usually something else will evolve to take its place. But this is also a SLOW process. Human-like species have been around for about 3 million years, and Homo Sapiens have been around about a half-million years. During that time, we developed and refined instincts that would help us survive and reproduce successfully - which is literally our "prime directive" and our biological imperative.

You are looking at this with a 21st century mind-set, but keep in mind that we've only had modern germ theory for a bit over 100 years, and we've only had what most would consider "modern medicine" for 70 years - basically post WWII - though huge developments were still being made in the 50s and 60s. That's why, even into the 1960s, a majority of women were married by 19 - with lots married at 15 and 16 - and why people followed what we now call "traditional gender roles" - it was the only way for most people to survive for a lifetime.

But 70 years is WAY too short of a time-frame to talk about evolution and instincts.
Scientists say that it takes about 1000 generations, which, for humans, means about 20,000 years, to see a significant change in instinctual behavior. To put it another way, we humans today are still "programmed" with the instincts that were necessary for survival 20,000 years ago.

For women, this meant being attracted to men who had strength, status, and resources, because she needed such a man to protect her during and following pregnancy, and to provide for her and the children, or they literally wouldn't survive in many cases. For men, this meant being attracted to women at the beginning of their fertility window, so that she would have the greatest chance of bearing him many offspring (keep in mind that child mortality was about 20%). There was also a constant shortage of men, due to war, dangerous jobs, and disease, and that men rarely lived much past 50.

Without offspring, most adults would not survive long into old age or serious injury - without younger family members to protect and provide, old or injured people could not survive in a world where eating meant working a 10-12-hour day of hard labor outdoors in the weather. For most people, surviving old age without children is dangerous even today.

The reason everyone doesn't know this anymore - it used to be something everyone knew and talked about - is because Feminism wants the nuclear family destroyed, and doesn't want women to be wives and mothers, so these things have been removed from school curriculums and replaced with identity politics...

I'm the exception if that's so. I find women much younger than me physically attractive, for sure. If we're talking in the realm of pornography, that's what I find most pleasant to the eyes are women half my age.

Yet when I talk to women in their early 20s, for example, I find such a disconnect there. I'm not a ladykiller but I've met my share of ones who are so overtly flirty and complimenting me left and right for whatever reason. Yet there's this sense I get like they're a "fan", you know, and not an equal. If I were to sleep with them when I was single, I'd be taking advantage. They're putting me on a pedestal and I don't deserve the pedestal. I'm not that great of a guy.

Women closer to my own age or just slightly younger (say around 85% to 100% my age) always seemed more like equals to me. We could really click. They can disagree with me and tease me instead of putting their hands on their chin and saying I'm so great. I like this more than the physical beauty of the young ones.

Because they just want to screw around with them and because you meet their sexual fantasy. That's why. It is not because they want things traditionally. So it is not a fact that they desire women of those ages. I was those ages myself. I come to find out it is SEX, SEX, SEX. And when you turn them down and say no, some will freak out, others curse at you, others pretend to be okay when they're seething on the inside. The data is biased because men and boys are influenced to go after such girls and women at those ages for sex. That's all. They are not interested in marriage or a stable relationship with a family which is why those I know now to have families and marriages are those who invested in the girls and women they already had friendships with for quite a while.

So no. Men of all ages don't do this. Just toxic men who do because they either want a come back when they have rejected many times those ages or they were fooling around and they want to be "young again". Again, it's just sex and horny men. Porn and "coming of age" films with women making such teens and men horny don't help either,

Because they are prime years where most women are hitting their peaks in beauty

OlderAndWiser · Answer

I am 66. Most of the women I have dated over the past 6 years were slightly younger but within 10 years of my age. I the same 6 years, I have also dated women who were up to 20 years older than me.

Yes, girls in their late teens and early 20's are still very attractive but I also know that any attempted relationship with them would be doomed from the start, I would probably get bored very quickly, and extremely few of them would be interested in dating a man as old as I am. I am old but I am not a fool.

PlatinumBeetle · Answer

The age men are attracted to in woman probably trends to a narrower range than the reverse because the age range at which women are fertile is narrower. I'd be interested to know if there are any proven trends in the reverse question of the ages in men that woman are attracted to.

hellionthesagereborn · Answer

Because child birth is damaging to the body and younger bodies handle it better. Its biology. Its also the reason why women consistently go after older guys who have established wealth, because child birth and rearing is so resource intensive that she cannot produce herself thus needs him to do so for her. Again, its biology.

Avicenna · Answer

Young women in that age group are much less likely to already have kids. That's a big factor. They've also usually had fewer negative relationships and are less jaded. Greater fertility as well.

Snakeyes7 · Answer

Men tend look for youth, fertility and beauty in women and women tend to look for physical prowess, confidence and access to resources in men, which men will be more likely to have starting late 20s or early 30s. Those will remain the same even in dire situations so it is very likely that the younger woman would respond in kind.

PeacefulRainDrop · Answer

Cause they are focused on outer beauty more than inward.. once their woman looked old they leave..  Thankfully not all guys are like that some want more than a pretty sex doll!

Aiko_E_Lara · Answer

Because that age is where women are the most fertile. Even possible that they can still be attracted to girls below 18 on her puberty. It is compatible biologically speaking but only has a social stigma so nobody wants to admit that and even applies to girls towards guys as well.

Survival of the fittest, baby. What age category of woman is most likely to carry on a man's DNA? 18-25 year old women. Make it as simple or as complex as you like.

FilmGuy93 · Answer

I assume because they are youthful, fertile, and don't have much in the way of career and emotional baggage. I don't get the appeal, personally. I find women younger than 24 super immature.

Ninjazzed · Answer

They want women ripe for the picking. Women they can easily manipulate.

Gwenhwyfar · Answer

Or who look that age. But only a few of the older guys actually get women in that age bracket.

Silas_153 · Answer

I wouldn't want someone who was so young. I wouldn't have anything in common with her. An entirely different generation. It just wouldn't work.

bamesjond0069 · Answer

Hotter More fertility time Less sexual experience More naturally take the feminine role Still young enough to learn a thing or two before they get stuck in their ways.

princeofromance · Answer

That is what I am looking for. I desire to have a woman who is within that specific age range. It is because they are physically and sexually more desirable at that age.
