If a guy in his early 30s met a woman who is 40 and had immense compatibility and match, would he be ok with the age difference for long term relationship/marriage?
So when I was in my early 30's, I would have been about the last guy on earth who would be ok with an age difference. I've just never been into older women. Not that I'm into younger women, just that I seem to be into women "around my own age." That was true when I was 16 years old, and a 25 year old woman was of zero interest to me (not a joke). That's true today when I'm thinking... I'm going to turn-down a 50 year-old. That'll change by the time I get closer to 50 myself. See what I'm saying?
Now on paper, I am really really pretty prejudice in this weird-ass sliding-scale-way. And it's quite true I am really really not into older women. AT ALL.
But... if we were an excellent match and compatibility, and we clicked... I would 100% not give A FUCK about the age difference. If she's attractive and we're clicking, then even I would overlook any age difference... because... who cares!
It's a general preference thing. Not a "hard-and-fast rule". If you're feeling it with someone, I don't care who you are... that age difference is no longer a barrier.
The only thing would be kids. If he is a guy who is still looking to have kids for sure, than this would make a difference. But, not all guys are for sure wanting kids. It really does hinge on that. But only that I think. If the guy doesn't happen to specifically want kids, then I don't think the age difference is going to matter, if both people are really clicking and like each other.

Some would be, but if he wants to have kids, he wouldn't want to marry a woman of that age.

Eh itās kind of a toss up. Itās really not about how āhotā you areāsome women in their 40s are smokingābut itās more ācan I have a family with this woman?ā Yes, children and a family are important to many, many men. Past a certain age with women that becomes difficult, or impossible.
Every single guy only wants a young woman to marry. 🥴
If he's a simp then he will marry you. If he does that I see no issue with you taking advantage of his sexual insecurity.
Mostly, there is Macron or two but young women are having better looks and higher fertility.
Biologically we want young nubile fertile women. 40's nah.
The creepier, more insecure guys always try their luck with younger women.
Guys will say no because they don't have any options or the value to pursue younger women. A women's loyalty is tested when the man has nothing, a man's loyalty is tested when he has everything. He's only as faithful as his options
I'm intending to marry my girlfriend and she's 5.5 years older than me.
I don't follow societal convention on these age issues. It is rigid and outdated. Age should not stop 2 people from finding a happy relationship.
To marry? Super important she's much younger. Just to date and have a casual relationship? Doesn't matter at all.
I think women want the younger woman for sure it just makes sense
other than a minority of some men, no.
Nope. I almost always date older women.
not looking for anyone to marry
ok for quick sex
