I'm a man and I need a bro to explain me
why are men attracted to younger women?
I'm interested in women my age ± like 5 years ish.
when I was a teen I was into teens, in my 20s I was into girls in their 20s...
the idea of dating a 20 years old as a 36 year old man seems gross and annoying.
Because they don't want to date (i. e. have some kind of personal engagement), they want to play nut and bolt.
Nut and bolt? That the new Ratchet and Clank?
i get that, I also want hook-ups, but I don't see the attraction of someone 18 years younger than me.
I mean, people in their 20s are incredibly un-chill and very not sure who they are. Dating someone like that sounds kinda awful.
I am on your team with this.
I may not want kids but I still want to be called daddy
🤮
Apart from obvious attractiveness in younger adults, I'd probably chalk it up to societal norms (and maybe there's an evolutionary component to it as well) for males' perceived value on being the bread winner.
So dating younger is how you ensure they are dependent on you, and thus fulfill your purpose as a man.
even more gross
dating younger women to take advantage of dependence.
So many mid responses to this question, so here is the actual answer.
Men are raised to be more overtly sexual and have the most income (yes yes... my culture, my country, not worldwide, stfu we all know...) , because of this advertising has been focused on men while bombarding us with their image of perfect feminine beauty (which tends to be youthful qualities) to get us to focus on their products, seeing this your entire life you adopt that framework of what beauty is.
Ultimately though its because the majority of the world are NPC's following a script.
Purely physically speaking, pretty much everyone gets less attractive as they get older.
There is, of course, a maturity gap, which is a whole different problem.
