Is that true that men always prefer young women no matter how old are they?

- I don't know about a 15-35 yr difference, but for a lot of us, yes. Most guys I know are with younger chicks. I'm with a younger chick. I mostly dated younger chicks and also was probably mostly attracted to younger chicks. Now, part of this is because it is the norm for girls to go out with older guys, but some of it at least was my preference. Now, with both me, and the guys I know, this is like a 2-3 yr difference, and 10 at the most. With the ones that have a 10 yr gap, they didn't date those chicks until the girl was in her 20s and they in their 30s. I had friends that preferred older chicks as well and at least one now with an older chick, but, overall, i'd say that generally guys are attracted to younger girls. Not a gap of 15+ years in my experience, but younger nonetheless.1|00|0Is this still revelant?
- Anonymous1 yI dont think so.
Im just about 30 now and when i look at girls that are around 18-20 they just look like kids to me and I have no sexual interest at all.
That seems to start happening at about the 25yr old mark but I've also become more sexually interested in older women as well.
Like when I was 18 I had no interest in 40yr olds. But now when I see a fit 40 something at the gym I think I could very easily go home with her.
So i think most average guys tendancies do change as they age.
However, i do spend a lot of time in the Philippines and there is a lot of creepy old white men there looking for young women so I dunno, hopefully they are the minority.1|00|0Is this still revelant?

663- Yes. Physical (aka sexual) attraction is directly correlated to fertility. Youth and health imply fertility. The reason why you don't see all men going after 20 years old is, because there is more to a functioning relationship than physical peak attraction.1|00|0
- Well it's not like 20 yo girls suddenly become unattractive as you age... And older girls just apparently manage to get fat. It's like there's a law that you have to be fat by 30... This isn't a unfair stereotype, it's what I see with people around me so I don't claim it's every girl. It's just what I see with my own eyes.1|10|0
It is all about beauty, not about youth. It is nature to pursue beauty, I can understand.
Well we don't get more pretty as we age. That's just nature. And sure looking for beauty is superficial but after all humans are animals that strive for procreation with that best possible mate. And we'll the best possible mate for procreation is not a 45 yo woman that had her menopause already. It is a fact that the older the woman, the more likely it is to have birth complications or birth defects in the offspring. I think we instinctively know that, which is why we go for young girls. However for companionship, 20 is too young for me already so I guess that's a factor too.
- Young women are often physically alluring, but have little to interest otherwise. Even when intelligent they do not often have enough life experience to maintain a dialogue.
I suspect any man dating a much younger woman is only interested in sex, or displaying a "trophy".1|00|0 - Nope. A young woman might be physically attractive, but that doesn't mean I want to hang around her. I naturally gravitate toward people closer to my age. I see the same thing at work where there is a wide range of ages. Most people tend to hang out with others closer to their age.2|00|0
- Not just 20 yr olds, but maybe younger for sure. But there’s much more to it than just age. That’s a shallow way to be, in my opinion, age can be just a number, or it can mean vast differences in what you have in common with a girl. For me, I’m shallow af, I admit it. I want a younger girl who’s up to my level of physical desires, and wants lots of it... and also one who can take my unusual.. size...1|00|0
- no. it's just most of us have a biological attraction. psycollogically younger means more fertile/better chance of carrying on lineage. just as many women have an attraction to older men with the psycollogy of older giving a meaning of better provider and more secure. some of us don't have that as hard wired in as others and some bypass it by things like fetishes or some form of nurturing. some even defeat that urge with something causing a revoltion for what ever reason0|00|0
- It's true that no matter how old men are, they think women in their early 20s are the most physically attractive.
However most men -also- find women somewhat closer to their own age most compatible.
So most men who are late 20s and up target women younger then themselves, but not early 20s.1|00|0 - Anonymous1 yYes this is true across the board.

It's basic biology.1|10|0Its great news for women if they pick a husband by about age 24 at the latest. Its bad news if they think they can wait till their late 20s or 30s.

"Clearly, this isn’t great news for women"
You have your peak upfront. Men have to work for their peak. Biologically speaking men have little to no inherent value. Men are disposable. We could have only 1 men for 9 women and it wouldn't bother our species. Doesn't quite work the other way around.
So men end up having to prove themselves and grow into valuable and desirable people. Women have inherent value, but peak rather early.
- I will be honest. Men Value youth in women a lot, but other factors play parts too. Such as an older woman being too pretty and fit. Jennifer lopez lets say. Also younger women won't date an older man unless he is a millionaire so men tend to pick then a woman his age range1|00|0
- Usually, if they have the option, men prefer younger women, but young girls don't like older men. In fact, if our society didn't prevent it, 14 to 16-year-old girls would be better than 20-year-old women. Queen Inhyeon married King Sukjong as his second Queen Consort in 1681, at the age of 14. Religious scholars believe the Virgin Mary was age 14 when Jesus was born. Joan of Arc was sued for breach of promise at age 16, a typical age for girls to marry at the time. She won the case.1|10|0
People died at 30 that is why they were together earlier and children teenagers weren't considered really of value so they had to go to work at an early age.
@sejla People still die before age 30. Joan of Arc's mother was 81 when she died in 1458. King Yeongjo of Joseon (now Korea) was also 81 when he died in 1776. Super Model Waris Dirie was 13 when she fled to escape an arranged marriage to a 60-year-old man. In Somali 9 is considered a suitable age for marriage and if a woman is not married by the age of 16 she is often considered flawed and thought to bring bad luck to her family.
Childbirth is easiest for girls in their teens because their bodies are more flexible. Also, teenage girls have more stamina and energy than women in their 20. In Biblical times people were married at a very young age. Girls were usually betrothed before they reached puberty – majority of the time the marriage would have consummated when the girl reached puberty. In the USA, culture, not biology, determines the average age that women marry.Not all teenage girls have bodies that are developed enough to give birth easily. They haven't finished growing and there should be no problems with birthing well into a woman's 30s. The woman's body produces hormones to get more flexible. Girls needs to have a life separate than reproducing at that age.

@sejla You look for the rare biological exceptions. My biological arguments are based on what is normal. However, in the USA, our society's laws and customs, not biology determine the best age range. That is why, in the USA, almost all adult men are not interested in having sex with14 to 16-year-old girls, even though, their biology would say otherwise.
well we evolve and it comes down to respecting girls enough to let the be whole mature adults. Just because it was different in the past doesn't mean it wasn't harmful to the girls.
@sejla Absolutely it implies it was not harmful to our species. If it was harmful, natural selection would have selected a different path. Even a 1 percent (0.01) advantage per generation is equal to 1.01^1,000 = 21,000 to 1 advantage in 1,000 generations (about 20,000 years) which is an extremely short time in our evolutionary history.
- Depends on the guy. But generally men do like dating younger and women like dating older.
For me, I'd prefer dating my age or 3-4 years younger if possible. If I get in my 40s and single, I'd be more open to dating women 10 years younger maybe1|00|0 - Nah, I usually talk to and dance with older girls at the nightclub. I don't care as long as the difference is less than a decade.1|00|0
So how do you feel when a younger guy approaches you? Most older girls don't seem to mind me talking with them.
- YounGER.
I think the desirable age rises as a man ages to perhaps mid thirties.
I would not date or have sex with a girl younger than about 24 now.1|00|0 - Anonymous1 yYes. They will always go for as young z girl theh can get and keep. It's a biological thing related to procreation, generally women are much more attractive aged 15-30.1|00|0
- In my experience yes. Not all the time of course but a majority of the time. My man in particular wouldn't date someone older than him🖤1|00|0
- No, I don't think it's true in every case. By the time a man reaches 45 or older, what do YOU think he sees in a 20 year old girl? hmmm... Right, you got it ... sex !!2|00|0
Why not someone sweet who is good to him and who he wants to be good to? So weird a man of your age thinks its probably just sex.
@Meropatrick she can but she also can't give him kids. She also probably slept with many more people. And usually older women aren't as sweet because theyve been dumped a lot.
- Show All Show Less
@bamesjond0069 you got a point in this, but also its difficult to assume a woman got dumped a lot or dated a lot based on her age, maybe she was married to one man for years. also being dumped and facing heartache doesn't mean a person stops being nice
@Meropatrick technically true. But lets see how many sweet practically virginal women in the 30+ range you can find. I won't hold my breath. I've maybe met one who almost was as sweet as a young girl and she was a virgin but tbh to be a virgin by 28 you got to be pretty weird.
@bamesjond0069 Let me tell you what I think of that idea, especially if the guy is 50 to 55. Having kids at that age is pretty damn selfish in my opinion. If you have a kid at 55, you'll be 65 when they're 10 and 73 when they graduate high school? No, that's just wrong. But this question and responses have a lot of assumptions going on, including my own (which are at least based on people I know and what I see). All I can say about the "sex" thing is that I'm 34, and 18-25 year old women look a heck of lot sexier to me (in general), than 40 - 50 year old women, in general. I'm not saying there aren't a ton of great looking older women, but the question is about preferences. The asker presumes older guys prefer younger women, and I believe that's correct... in general !!! :)
I think its true but not just sex. There are lots of reasons men prefer younger women. Simply saying sex is wrong. As a 30is something year old who would date a 20 year old obviously fertility is a benefit. I don't know where your base assumption about 50 year old men comes from. Do you not consider a 10 year difference younger? I want kids so i primarily date women for fertility as the primary reason why i like younger girls. But maybe you just never thought of it? No girl my age is going to be able to wait a few years then be able to give me a large family. So even if i wanted to date a girl my age i just can't.
@bamesjond0069 I'm not denying there are many other reasons an older man may prefer a younger woman. I'm saying that sex is a leading reason. And I'm also NOT saying that anything at ALL about kids and family building for someone our age. What I DID say is I think it's selfish for a 50 - 55 + year old guy to start a family, period. It's not fair to the kids... in my opinion.
- Anonymous1 yI think mature guys would usually end up marrying someone who is closer in age to them1|00|0
- I don't really have a preference. She can be younger or older. I am 28 and I have no problem dating a woman of 35 or something like that, or even older if it's just a fling.1|00|0

- actually im the opposite, i prefer older women, im so used to talking to girls 20 or older that i can't even keep a convo going with girls younger than me1|00|0
- I don't know... that...
I'll explain. Men like that know young women because they are naive. Older women know that game and won't put up with it. I would rather have a woman closer to my age. I have a daughter 26. That's just creepy to me.1|00|0 - I have had boys and men flirt with me so. . . ! thanks1|00|0
