Why do younger men like to date & marry older women?

Question

This seems to be the new trend around many of my friends. Any ideas as to why?

Answer 1

older women know exactly what they want, and how to get it, plus theres something very attractive about a confident women, and nothing more unattractive about a immature girl, plus theres this whole milf thing going on, but for me mature women are just more sexy and more stimulating.

Answer 2

For the same reasons older women like to date and marry younger men.

Answer 4

This is not really very common ...
I suppose it could be a localized trend...
Perhaps Money & Financial Security ??
Older women are maintaining their physical attractivness
more so now than in the past...
My first sexual experience was with a 34 yr. old woman
when I was 14.....She had a 12 yr. old daughter...
I was the happiest boy in town for that 3 month summer..
I still have fond memories of this tender, caring, wonderful woman , now many years ago...

Older women these days are beautiful, not obsessed with a biological clock, have their own resources, know what they want and do not have to play the little helpless nymph. They can choose who they want to be with and promptly dismiss those who do not work out. That being said, I think men like wine are better when they have aged a little bit and are less self-centered and more attentive to the needs of the woman. Forget that cover the gray crap. Men with a little salt and pepper or a lot of silver are very sexy. For example, Richard Gere never looked better. Will Smith looks hot with his gray. and don't get me started on Sean Connery!

Answer 6

I am currently reading a book called "The Evolution of Desire" by David M. Buss, it's about evolutionary psychology and how our ancestral humans developed mating strategies and how we still display them today.

Here comes a long answer.

Women basically desire a man who is high in status, which comes in the form of wealth, being able to provide for woman and the family and other social concerns. Men who display their status are more desirable to potential mates, and therefore have their pick of available and, most importantly, desirable female.
Men basically desire a woman who displays promise of producing a child, which is hard to determine. However, ancestral men have discerned that women who are in child bearing years (more likely to conceive from 18-35) and display good health, nice skin, fit figure are the more desirable mates. This gives young, good looking women more power in choosing the most desirable male.

So, the theory is that since young males do not always have the status and power of older males required to gain the attention of the most desirable (younger) females; and since older women cannot always compete with the vitality and beauty of younger women to gain the attention of the most desirable males, this leaves the younger males and older women available to each other.

Answer 8

Age really has no bearing on it. It is just who you happen to fall in love with. The last guy that I had, I had no clue that he was younger than me. But he was younger and was really good to me, and I was really good to him as well. It should not have anything to do with money or the sex, it should be only for love.

Answer 9

Life experience. Contrary to popular belief not all guys want a "ditzy" blonde or brunette or red-head or whatever. Having a nice, smart, good looking WOMAN is really something, why wouldn't any younger man want that?

Answer 10

Older women = experience in bed, maturity, conversationalist about other things than clothes and hair and they don't need to cling to a man to be happy
