Why do married men fall for younger women?

[Anonymous]

Makes them feel young.

Are you seriously asking this question because you don’t know OP?

Eww, what 32 year old woman would want this senior citizen? His wife was already out of his league. Crazy.

I did not leave my wife for a younger woman, but post divorce I was stunned how easy it has been to date women in their 20s while I'm in my early 40s.

As much as I enjoy it, it does not make me feel young. It makes me painfully aware of how old I am and how much time has passed since I was young.

“[H]e pushed God out of his life, me out of his life, and developed friendships with other congressmen and women having affairs and getting divorces, drinking, parties, all while hosting a weekly Bible study in the basement of our home,” she wrote.

Those Congressmen/women are the absolute worst. This is well known - this big orgyfest —even more so with the ultra-conservatives

Why do you need a FB post or any public announcement?

This is not a new Congressional phenomenon. Bob Dole traded up in early 70s when he was 50. I know another staffer who was sleeping with her mid-50s congressman.

The attacks of Satan line is silly, but you have hot staffers who are infatuated with the illusion of power and the trappings of Congress. Add in mid-life crisis and being away from spouse and it’s a guaranteed recipe for infidelity.

It's a hell of a lot simpler than that, sweetheart.

Older women always play the mortality card because they themsleves cant deal with the fact that they have spoiled.

Married men have likely been "found out" by their spouse of several years, who is likely sick of their brand of BS. A 32-year old is getting desperate for marriage/kids, and is in peak "pick me" mode, willing to do all the things a man may want, so long as she gets a ring. He thinks it'll last, so he leaves his marriage for her, wifes her, and then she, too, becomes sick of his brand of BS (which he never took the time/energy to address, because he blamed it on a woman instead of analyzing his own brand).

It's not just the body. The same "I won't take your crap" mentality with a perky set would be declined.

Older women don't "spoil", they mature. Think wine, scotch... You have to refine your palate to appreciate these things.

If you're still in your wine cooler phase, well, that's your loss.

Then why get married at all? If the only important thing to you/certain other men is a woman’s attractiveness, and we know that this fades over time, why make the choice to age with someone, ostensibly forsaking all others? Just date and don’t ruin people’s lives.

Whether women admit or not, at some point most married women even if briefly wonder if their DHs still find them attractive when they are older and if they will leave them for a younger women. And women have a thousand reasons to have this insecurity because while not necessarily common men have on occasion left their wives for younger women. It's not fair but past a Certain age women because much more invisible in public spaces compared to younger women.

And as cruel as it may sound this younger women in their 20s or 30s know exactly what buttons to push to highlight these mens older wives. And in some cases they join these men into highlighting their wives age. Some women sadly get some weird satisfaction for looking "better" and "gounger' than other women..women talk a lot about men being immature but boy we do have a lot immature women as well.

I'm just glad women are doing better financially and can leave these horny and foolish men if they no longer find them attractive just because they are older.

Men age like wine. Women age like milk. I understand why that bothers you, I do.

I suspect this is trolling, but if it isn’t, so did mine.

Ride it out. Promise yourself you can release your statement until after paperwork is signed but, by then, you won’t care. Until then, as a PP said, tell a few close friends what really happened and let it spread on its own. Say nothing on FB. Eyes on the prize, girl. Hit him where it hurts - in the wallet. And when it all falls apart with his new soulmate, you’ll already be well on your way to recovered from the shock and hurt.

Only if you have a view that women are only baby machines. If you respect women, you respect their entire cycle of life, not just the fertile part. You know, the respect a human should have for another human’s life. In fact the right to a respected and full life escapes you. Respect for life is boiled down to the 9 months that you as a man are unable to control because you are unable to form a baby in your body. You do not give a a woman full right to life because you refuse to respect and give her full rights.
