Men don't really prefer younger women

I have to say, even though I’m only 27, the under 25 crowd doesnt hold a lot of interest for me. I’m much more down for a woman that actually can hold a conversation, has cool interests, is mature and past that stage in her life.

Not to mention the vast majority of 18 year olds look about 14 to me, which I find incredibly creepy.

Now, this is not the case for all 18 year olds, or 18-25 year olds, of course. Just has been my experience/preference.

On the other hand, I have seen plenty of attractive women in their 30s and I am so much more apt to swipe left. Women generally do a better job taking care of themselves than men, so they usually look great. And you can just see such a vibrancy there, a confidence that comes with age.

it really is remarkable the difference that comes with age. I can see why so many men are drawn to it, and why many others are intimidated by it. A powerful woman is a force to behold.

And FWIW- I am NEVER attracted to men who are older than me. I think, in general, women age much better than men, so it’s not as noticeable. That’s probably why.


These two statements contradict themselves.


Do you understand how tinder works? You can swipe left on absolutely anyone, and you only "match" with them if they also swipe left on you.
There's not as many options for same sex pairings, so I am more liberal with my swiping, and swipe left on anyone I find attractive.

However, once I match with 18 year olds, I am always creeped out by how very young they look, especially further going through their pics.


Not too difficult to understand... for most...


Yes, I do. I use Tinder to date. Either they look 14 or they don't. You contradicted yourself. Own it. Don't get mad at me because you make no sense.



What's so hard to understand about seeing someone at first and thinking they look alright and then considering seriously dating them and realizing they look much too young?

Oh wait- you probably dont know because you've never matched with someone! Dont be bitter, my little buddy- it'll happen one day!

They don't always cheat on much younger women. Sometimes the women are young.Sometimes they're the same age. Sometimes they;re older.



My ex's both cheated with older, less attractive women.


Attractiveness is an incredibly relative term. Obv not attractive to you, but your ex's saw something in them. Some guys like older woman. Some guys like younger woman. Some guys like skinny woman, or fat woman, or a woman with a leg missing. Some men even prefer woman that are underage ( yea yea I know it's sick, but it's true) Everyone has a type. I don't understand the purpose of this thread. Maybe the op meant to say "not all men prefer younger woman?" Which would be true.


OP here. I was just examining the trope that all rich and powerful men want and lust after nubile young 21 year olds. I'm trying to say that even most men find young girls very attractive, the logistics of life and society and interpersonal chemistry do not always arrange for a partnership between an older powerful male and a young attractive girl. Many powerful men build lasting relationships with women closer to their own age.


Oh I agree with you, I just feel that it works both ways. I don't think there is a preference in either direction. It might be skewed a bit because many of these men marry young to begin with if they divorced and remarried now it's hard to say they wouldn't pick a younger woman. Clooney is a great example of that. Either way plenty of people marry within their respective age range. But there are outliers on either side


That's fair. I think generally when people remarry there is less of a chance that they will be able to find partners their own age. Or, of course, men, especially actively choose to marry much younger if they want children.

Even women can remarry younger men however.

Take Katie Couric for example.

Liking underage girls is illegal... and gross. Sorry bro.


Actually liking underage girls is not illegal, acting on those feelings would be illegal. But didn't the PP you are responding to already say that it is sick? Or are you just reaffirming what they already said?


Watching underage porn is illegal though.

Just so you know... might want to swipe those servers!!!

I find most band members very unattractive. So many of them look like they haven't showered in weeks and are generally very unkempt. But hey some people like that

Who said anything about watching underage porn. Don't be a creep. Just saying that there is Someone out there in the world with a different taste for everything. You guys are taking what I said a few posts back and twisting it way out of context lol. I'm not arguing that it's right or wrong (actually I am arguing that it's wrong since I said doing anything to act on it is illegal, and that it is sick)

So why even bring up people having a preference for underage people? That's not a normal or even relevant preference- it's a sick perversion known as PEDOPHILIA.

Sorry, but it certainly is very strange when someone brings up pedophilia in a conversation as if it is a normal sexual preference, like preferring curvy women or w/e. Most normal people have acknowledged that it does NOT fit into that category

I'm sorry, my bitch mode automatically activates when dealing with annoying asswipes.

This just seems like a lot of work to deny a sort of basic reality. Showing lots of examples of outside cases or unusual set ups does not prove that the opposite is not the norm.

I mean, how many cases of "younger woman sleeps with married man and breaks up his marriage" have we all seen, both in our own lives and in the celebrity atmosphere. Guys seem to be attracted to the basic simplicity of a relationship with a younger woman -- there is less of a challenge to their status as "master" in a lot of cases, since the guy has so much more life experience (and probably money). At the same time, the younger woman has cache in desirable physical attractiveness, and even a certain naive attitude toward the relationship itself.

Ben Affleck with the babysitter. Robin Williams with his successive new wives. Hugh (gag) Heffner. Johnny Carson and all of his wives. Younger seems easier, though in actuality it isn't always.
