Why men are attracted to younger women
Across the world, and across religions, cultures and societies, age gap relationships are common. On average, women are younger than their male partners.
This comes from a new explore by Pew Analyze Center. But why is this?
Exploring the dynamics of age preferences in relationships is a fascinating, complex, and often controversial topic. Its important to approach this subject with sensitivity, as individuals preferences and motivations can vary greatly. A degree of tact and caution is needed.
One only need to verb at the attention Leonardo DiCaprio has received for his obvious preferences in age to realise there is considerable controversy surrounding the topic. Someone even made a chart to highlight the pattern. Displayed in this way, it’s easy to realize the criticism. He gets older, and they stay the same age.
Celebrity individuals and cultural practices alike have received criticism. Some, rightfully so.
In our exploration, well delve into various factors that shed light on to why this is. Why is an age gap in relationships not only accepted, but often soug
Men prefer younger women not for their firmer bodies – but their greater admiration
There is a maximum number of times a lady can get annoyed about what a French intellectual thinks about her arse. I thought I’d hit it in the 90s, when Michel Houellebecq did an elaborate, odd page analogy between sexual liberation and free-market capitalism, which concluded that women were destroying men’s dignity. It was a hard-left version of Jordan Peterson that was, if you can possibly imagine such a thing, even more annoying.
Yet when the novelist Yann Moix announced this week that year-old women were too antique to love – “The body of a year-old gal is extraordinary. The body of a woman of 50 is not unusual at all” – I felt that old and delicious indignation. It’s not the talking-about-us-like-we’re-meat. It’s not the generalisation, or the brass neck of a guy who is 50 himself, and about as remarkable to look at as an upturned shopping trolley in a canal. It’s just dishonest. There is nothing more contemptible than a home truth that isn’t true.
Men don’t like younger women becaus
Its an accepted noun that men are evolutionarily predisposed to want to fuck women at the peak of their fertility that is, in the first half of their twenties. Women simply cant support it that, in the words of OkCupid founder Christian Rudder, From the time youre twenty-two, youll be less hot than a twenty-year-old, based on [OKCupids] data. So thats just a thing."
But is it just a thing? Should every chick over 22 resign herself to her supposedly natural place on a steep downhill slide? Turns out, its complicated. Since its an idea that reinforces misogyny in both the romantic and professional lives of women, plenty of people would enjoy to believe it. So its worth asking what exactly we actually verb about May-December romances, and whether we want to persist to grant this widely-accepted wisdom the power it has now.
According to U.S. Census data, men are, on average, years older than their wives at marriage. Men who remarry are especially likely to pursue out younger partners. What we dont know is wheth
Dad or Shag: The Scientific Reason You’re Attracted To Older Men
Over the course of your twenties, you’ll almost definitely have been told ‘you need an older man’ at some point by a well-meaning companion or relative unless, of course, you’re already dating one.
The mythologising of older men is at once frustrating and intriguing in equal measure: they’re often referred to as ‘silver foxes’ and ‘dad or shags’. An age gap can be excellent, it can be bad and it can be downright creepy. A youthful woman dating an older man is often romanticised but it can be very, very problematic too – grab Lynn Barber’s story as told in An Education for instance.
At the slightly smuttier end of the spectrum during the research process of this article, I uncovered an entire subsection of erotic fiction on Amazondevoted to the ‘Daddy Complex’ with titles such as ‘Her Mother’s Boss’ and ‘Her Guardian Neighbour’. It seems to be rather popular.
But assuming that both parties are consenting adults, there’s no doubt that there is just something about an older man. As one self-described ‘grandad botherer’ aged 30
