Why do married men fall for younger women?

Insecurity

Too focused on external opinions

So much womansplaining going on here. If men say they want younger women because they find them more attractive, there's no point in theorizing and hypothesizing about the REAL reasons they want younger women. Why can't our explanations be taken at face value?

You miss my point: No 20-something woman is going into a LTR with a 40+ man unless money/security is involved. You think a 20-something woman is moving in with a 40-something guy living at his mom's house?

Do you seriously think there aren't 20-something guys looking to be "kept," too? It's just that most women wouldn't want to be used like that, but most men don't really care because they think with their ____.

The person to whom I responded was talking about dating/sex which anyone can get whether for free or paying for it. This is about a LTR. Mark Green is 60 friggin years old. That 32yo woman would not be with him for the long haul if he wasn't in Congress and that's why he's going back after saying he wouldn't. Mark my words, it was intoxicating for her to be with a powerful politician, not grandpa working as a greeter at Walmart.

+1. Men who think it’s because they “age like wine” are delusional. A 20 year old is not going to marry an average middle class man, and especially not after he loses half of everything in a divorce and has to move into an apartment with a mattress on the floor.

There is a very small percentage of men who attract a small percentage of women because they offer financial security to women who don’t want to work and view their own success depends on which man they can land rather than what they themselves can accomplish.

And that’s fine. It works for them (sometimes….they also have a very high divorce rate). But the average 50 year old man will not be able to get a 25 year old to marry him.

I think it’s … unlikely that the 50 year old’s interest in the 25 year old is marriage.

You are completely missing the point.

Men start with "Older men can sleep with younger partners because men age well, older women can't"

When it turns out older women CAN sleep with younger partners.

So then men move the goal posts to (as PP stated): "younger men only sleep with older women because it's "banging a MILF" but they wouldn't want to be in a LTR/marry her".

When the reality is younger women don't want to be in LTRs/marry older men either *unless there is money, power, and security involved*

Older men are not inherently more desirable as marriage material or better-looking to younger women. Younger women pursue older men because they want the material benefits. The average middle aged man is not going to be able to maintain a LTR with a younger woman. Hook up with a few? Sure. Women AND men in their 20s are curious.

And the same happens with older women who have money. I know a woman in her late 40s who is a multi-millionaire and engaged to a 22 year old man. He actively targeted her (figured out what events she was speaking at) and won her over. Everybody knows it's about the money. They don't care.

The woman is foolish. He will dump her, take half her money and find someone he can have children with.

No woman of means will marry a younger man without a prenup. Most will date but not marry a younger man.

Women are not stupid like men. A big dick isn't enough for them to be financially irresponsible. When it comes to their financial future women are focused.

Experienced women in their 20s are money hungry. My mom married for love as a teenager so did plenty of other high school classmates.

I actually think this is one of the biggest pieces. It’s grasping at feeling relevant and vital as your body is slowing down

You all need to watch Moonstruck! Great movie, and it comes to the same conclusion.

Younger women are more attractive on the inside, and the outside. And we see evidence of that every day on this discussion board.

Women love to project their own fears onto men. Tell the men who stormed Omaha Beach that "all men fear death."
