I've noticed, while travelling around, that it's pretty common for men to have younger girlfriends. In some cases almost twice as young.

Is there a reason this happens?

How much of an age difference in a couple is acceptable in your opinion?

Do you prefer being the older or the younger one in a relationship?

I guess most women prefer older men and men prefer younger women.

I know in Korea this happens because the guys go to the army (for around 2 years now) usually after they finish their first year in university, so when they come back into their second year, they are around two years older than those in the same grade as them.

Plus, they enter society at a later stage compared to women of the same age so that's also one of the reasons why you see a lot of younger women and older men dating in Korea.

Honestly, I'd rather be the older one. But lately, I've been thinking being the younger one wouldn't be all too bad either.

Younger girls are stupid and an easy catch. But that's not all. There's also this stereotype (which I think is pretty much correct) going around that the younger a girl is, the more fascinating is she and the older the man, the wiser is he.

I don't know about my preferences.

This happens because men search for beauty and younger women have that, while women search for power and security and that comes with money and usually older men are the ones with money since they had years to work and make them.

Do i prefer to be the older or the younger? Well that depends on what age i am. When i was 15 i would have like to be the younger one because 20-25 year old women seemed great but when i am 50 i am certain i wouldn't like like to be the younger one because 60 year old women do not look that great.

I think younger girls are easier to impress and to reel in as opposed to women. They can be impressed right off the bat because you got a car, and can offer her some of the grown woman shit younger guys can't. They like the danger and excitement that goes along with it. So older guys definitely take advantage of that. I've only dated older women coming out of high school. I dated a woman 7 years older than me. I like it, but I think there's more of a stigma if an older woman dates a younger guy. They see her as desperate and needy in that regard. So that's probably why you don't see it as often. And I'm not referring to cougars, I mean 30's and under.

For a serious relationship, I can't see myself going anywhere below 20. Most of the 18 year old girls I know frankly feel like children still. I mean, they were 12 when I was 18. There was a freshman who was interested in me but I just couldn't connect with her. That generational gap was a part of it.

I heard a theory from somewhere before that guys unconsciously tend to go for younger girls because they re more fertile while girls go for older guys because an older male shows they are able to survive longer than they have as in their genes should be better. Im not sure how true this is as I doubt some old ancestral evolutionary thing would be that strongly present in us without us being aware.

Even if I feel judgemental about something I dont care the actual number of age gap people have so long as they are not using someone or leading them on or taking advantage. Thats all that should really matter to anyone. Not their comfort levels of what others do.

Its not that I prefer being older I just prefer younger girls because i feel more comfortable around them and usually they are who I get to talk to more.

Not in every case but I'd choose younger because they would be less likely to die before me.

How much of an age difference in a couple is acceptable in your opinion?

4-5 years?

Do you prefer being the older or the younger one in a relationship?

I prefer being the older one. I wouldn't mind if I was a year or two max behind though.

Thats just a joke. Its not supposed to be taken seriously.
I think it's pretty good though, small age range when you're young and freshly out of high school/college so most of the people that fall into it have the same life experience as you. Gets larger as you get older when you're both likely independent adults with actual careers.

Idk, I think the rule holds up pretty well.

I personally think 10 years is the upper limit. Of course, as with everything, it'll be different for different people. But generally, the amount of life experience, knowledge, and wisdom is so much greater for the older person in relationships with significant age differences that you have to question their motives.

I really do not get this attempt for shock factor by bringing the parents in and making incest connotations. We already knew the difference by looking at the numbers we didn't need the whole "his old enough to be your father" bullshit, we know basic math thank you very much.

My parents were 19 years apart lol. It matters less when you're older. I think once you're 21 is doesn't matter much. There's insanely intelligent and caring people who are still in their early 20s, I don't blame older guys for falling in love with them. If the girl loves the older guy... Who cares?

I only care when there's some manipulation going on, and you could argue young girls have just as much of an ability to manipulate older guys and vice versa. So as long as it's not one way, like a teenager and an adult, I don't see anything wrong with it.

Not everyone really notices this but ever notice how attracted people are to vampires in fiction even when portrayed as hundreds if not thousands of years old? Or notice how a guy with a girl who happens to be very young looking even if she were close to the same age, they find it unsettling? The reason for that is people are shallow and use looks to judge others. Its not the age they care about as much as its their appearance.

How is that incest? It would apply between family if that was the case.
What I mean is that there is a huge gap in culture between these two people, different tastes, music, way of thinking. Am I saying its wrong? No, all I'm explaining is that there's usually an ultierior motive when young women or men marry much older partners, I think that is well understood.

My husband and I are more than 10 years apart. He's the older one.

I feel kind of conflicted about this topic. On the one hand, I think large age gaps come with an inherent power imbalance that's very easy to exploit, and it often is. That can be compounded with power imbalances in finances and social status, too. It's a little concerning to think about.

On the other hand... I mean obviously, look at me, being all hypocritical and stuff. :/

The reason why is simple.

Men are attracted to younger women, and women are attracted to older men. This isn't always true but it typically holds true. For example, maturity / financially security are considered attractive traits in a male, the same isn't too true for females. Similarly, men typically place more importance on physical beauty, something women typically place less importance on. I will say though that faulting either gender for this "age gap" in dating is kind of narrow minded since it takes two parties to create the "age gap".

That is atypical then . . . I never said all women / men like X, but that on average what I said is how it works. Not that it really matters if your most important traits in a partner are different than your gender's desired traits on average.

Also, kind of off-topic but I don't really equate "Financial security" to being a rich douche with too much money on his hands. Not that excess money doesn't attract some types of women (men too by the way), however I am talking more about things like a stable job, in other words a means to provide for oneself (and ideally more than oneself, even if not for a family).
