Why do married men fall for younger women?

However it's still rare for older men to be involved with younger women even if casually. And the reason for this is that they simply don't frequent the same spaces. And second most divorced men in their 40s such as myself are so busy and stressed dealing with teenagers (I am dealing with a 15 years old boy right now and it's rough let me tell you) on top financial pressures. I am not even hooking up let alone date. And the other thing is this, what would I talk about with a 25 years old woman as a 45 years old divorced man? The Kardashians lol.

I talk about the same things i do when I date someone my own age. If you can’t do that it explains why you’re not hooking up or dating.

This man did not just randomly fall in love with this younger woman, he found some type of escape/joy in her. It is sad but oftentimes these marriages have been unhappy for years leading up to these sorts of splits.

I think this, too. Usually home life is very stressful (even if there is enough money), and the marriage isn’t good. They’re often just together for the kids, money, convenience, social reasons etc.

Agreed. I know some successful age gap relationship, and it seems to be the case when it's the first marriage for each individual.

I do not see poor/low-status men with much younger women.
