Why do men remarry younger women?

[Anonymous]

In my circles, I see women marrying slightly younger men, not men marrying significantly younger women. I don’t think it happens nearly as much as it did or as much as some in this board would have you believe.

I've said this a million times when I've gotten the "what do you even talk about" speech from women friends my own age and their disapproval that I'm dating another 26yo.

I don’t know any 40s women who watch shows or TikTok’s in my circle. Most don’t even have Instagram and prefer museums, jazz, classic concerts .

It's a mystery with a riddle within a deep deep enigma.

This can't be a serious question. For me, it's because I've taken care of myself and look a lot younger than my years while most of the women my age I meet or see on dating sites are not attractive to me at all.

You can’t be serous because I’m a woman who is taking care of myself (19 BMI good hair pretty face) and most men my age on the apps are 9 months pregnant in mid 40s.
My exH is ugly like f..k and I didn’t want to sleep with him, exiting marriage. He’s dating an ugly 39 yo woman with 2 young kids. She’s only 6 years younger than me but sleeps with him cause she can’t afford nice vacations otherwise. He has a huge mansion and takes women out for nice meals.

Good luck to him! I would rather be single.

Lots of people on this board seem to suffer from thinking they have not aged but everyone around them has. I am married and have no skin in the game here. Most middle aged people look the same to me - like we are actual age.

+10000000000000000, they are usually childless and don't understand all the complexities AKA problems that occur once you have children.

Perhaps she actually likes him. You may have dumped him. But your "trash" could be someone's else treasure. Perhaps you were the issue in the marriage.

Madame, you are terrible misinformed.

I know of zero examples I am 47 and divorced for five years in the last 48 hours. Here are the ages of the men who have texted me and who I’ve been on dates with: age 28, 31, 31, and 40. I’m not sleeping with any of them right now I have before (with 28 and 31)— who I’ve actually known for about two years and they’re still interested.

I am 59, and my gf is 26. We are planning to get married.

All of my divorced 50s friends got married to younger, hotter, thinner women.

Go to any elementary school event in McLean and you will see a lot of older men with much younger wives.

I’ve met zero men who want to produce more babies in their 50s. But good luck to you changing diapers

To truly make your post a passive-aggressive FU you should have started it with a "Bless your heart!"

I know a few older dads, and if I become one I'll be thrilled. I did most of the diaper changes with the kids from my first marriage. It's not that difficult or time-consuming to change a diaper.

Well my dad married a younger woman for the second time + left my mom after 50 something years of marriage but the younger woman is cheating on my dad and she is just there for his money and to support her two kids.

The younger woman isn't as pretty as my mother is though. My dad just wanted sex because my mom wouldn't give him any after his cheating

That’s great you are so broody but most people don’t want to do it in retirement. Life is short I want to see the world and kids are a serious responsibility limiting your choices

Dads in mid 50s and above with babies look ridiculous. And not just ridiculous but socially irresponsible and selfish. Older male genes bring much higher risk of serious mental illness, autism, and other disorders. Mostly it just seems like a pathetic attempt to remain relevant and to prove your manhood, with the children bearing the cost of having 75 -year-old dad's when they're graduating from high school. These guys think they are proving something but real men at that age should be stepping into their role as grandfathers.
